no, you have to edit the strings. Use XCC Editor and go to the strings editor. Go to the NAME string and put the name of anything new in there, you should be able to figure it out.

Updates!
I've pretty much finished the first of the scripted maps, so here is the info on it.

Tale of a Doomed City
The sudden outbreak swept across the small city quickly- it started in the southern section, and before Army Engineers could demolish the bridges, the horde was on the other side. Those who survived set up defensive positions where they could, but much of the city was already in ruin, with many buildings on the verge of collapse. An ARNG rapid-response force reached the southern area with orders to make it to a Hospital where SWAT Operatives had been holding out with a large group of survivors. A small armored company entered from the north, and a mechanized infantry unit liberated the hospital on that side. The Military set up a first-aid station there, where they began to treat the wounded. Not far from the Hospital, a police perimeter had been set-up not much eariler, where survivors had massed in hopes of living. The horde however, had been growing the whole time, and now attacked.

Players: 2-3 players
-2 Human Players, one being able to establish an outpost. One player is in control of civilians, the other is in control of all Military forces.
-1 Zombie player, with a very large pre-deployed horde scattered around the map.

Objectives
Survival- Human players try to survive for a yet to decided amount of time against the hordes.
Defense- Human players must ensure both bridges stay intact. Although demolition was planned as a preventative measure, it is too late for this. Movement across the bridges is essential. Destroying both bridges is a Mission Failure.

Gameplay Type
Defensive

The map is based off of Let There Be Fight (2). It is very dark. Money setting is 2000.

Ingames soon.

Does AI use the zombie team in skirmish? How much maps your'e going to make etc...

EVA-251 · Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2007 10:22 pm Post subject:

The AI is exclusively zombie.

As for map number, more than one! Laughing

You'll need a lot of map editing and mode editing too

maps would be simplier to those assault, survival maps

i.e. a new map set with none of the originals or at least only megawealth versions with ai zombies

u will need lots of interesting triggers otherwise players will co-op and create killing zones

its a interesting idea but difficult in terms of execution and also blood effects would help a lot.

Blood is a must. The mod won't be done until blood is added.

As for the AI, right now it is skirmish and the first release will probably function like that. But yes, triggers will be used alot in the maps made for this mod.

Killing zones, modder and I tried that in the first online test and it did not work. We held them off for a few minutes, but eventually we got overrun and it was him try to avoid getting a HMVEE encircled by zombies. Laughing

have you thought about zombies that come out of the ground? Maybe looking like the dig themselves out of the grave? That could be a great super weapon to bust fortified positions...and allow a balance to paratroopers.

Well, DaFool, I am going by the outbreak method, not the dead rising up, but that does not mean I cannot change. Wink

New screens-

Yes, I said that. But they were.

Modder was a little more dug-in this time around.

Undeployed MGers make for excellent stoppers of hordes, provided you dont let them get too close, then you start slaughtering your own guys.

The black zombies are the toughest type.

Not even the machine guns of the military could hold off the hordes.

Brave HMVEE is brave.

Before questions are asked...I color coded the zombies, to make them more distinct in combat.
Brown- Fresh Corpse
Green- Biohazard
Red/Brick- Berserker
Black- Shambler

Nice I like how the .shps feel very similar to the CS ant missions.

-yea "dead rising" would be a neat little feature to have for theatrical purposes. but 'Zombies' already can multiply very easily.

as for blood cant you clone the spark particle system. and give it a nice red color to imply bleeding? Not sure if damage sparks only works on cyborg units though.

Also deathweapons, animations play nicely on the ground implying decay. they also can have a weapon which slowly harms unprotected infantry causing them to 'turn'

Already looked there and saw it. I don't even think it has attack frames.

My mistake. It looked like it had the stair-case effect on this picture:

Nice job by the way. Hope to see more. Smile

jadems · Medic **Joined**: 10 Jan 2005

U'kno this reminds me more of a comedic zombie thing - too many bright colours.

Needs some darkness to it to make it more of a survival.

And all the pics posted up are of the non-zombies losing... how tough is it really?

yea. it is possible to invert the shroud color. to give a foggy silent hill feel ?

definately get some interesting maps with darker lighting and such will add to this. but not all 'zombie" attacks occur in nighttime scary settings. I like the suburban attack scene in "28 days later."

also props like dead bodies, blood smears and wrecks would definately add to the visual feel depending how far you want to go.

28 Days Later is not a zombie movie. Its just a virus.

Go watch a Romero movie, please.

Oh, all the graphical complainers...Why should he make wrecks in a mod that is mostly consisting of placeholder graphics? Shouldn't that wait untill he's done? (or almost done.)

Mei Ling, Darling,

Remember its just a suggestion for him not and you.

Just a virus?..since when did virus make people walk around mindlessly bloody hunting people down, infecting them ? hrm? sounds like a 'zombie' to me.

Reread the context of my post please and probably the whole thread and keep shut that opinion hole of yours until the message sinks in

Gosh! mod is not even out and ppl already making judgments. Rolling Eyes

Besides I'd like to know if he plans on adding extra stuff now since I'm doing a little .shp work for this mod. I see no complaints there. Wink

I am liking what I see so far.

Tralala <3333

I was thinking, shouldn't the tanks stand at least a better chance against the hoards? After all it is thick reinforced steel hull, I'd like to see someone's teeth break that open #Tongue

. But well it's your mod, not mine.

Well it is isn't biting, it is "rocking", shaking the vehicle. The weakest zombie would have to attack an Abrams tank 200 times to destroy it, the strongest anti-vehicle would take 100.

yo. EVA-251: Got a storyline? Smile

How good is an Abrams tank against zombies, is it like one shell can splatter a horde of weak zombies?

No storyline is planned except for the fact there is an outbreak going on, and it seems to be global.
You are not that well informed, this is not long after it.

Well, a single round will completely destroy any zombie but the top-tier in a single shell, and it will kill any of the two lower-tier zombies that are in the blast area of roughly 1.5 cells.

Interesting little mod here. Play some GTA zombie mods for inspiration I suggest #Tongue

.

Oh and btw 28 later is infected people not zombies. Zombies are dead, and the infected are living people just with a rather "nasty case of rabies" to put it lightly.

I think this mod should take more of a parody of the corny 1950's zombie movies rather than zombie movies of today. When you click on a zombie he should only say one thing...

BRAINS!!!!
