Zombie maps

[Cryogenic Flare]

I play a lot of zombies(obsessive) and I'm kinda tired, bored or just annoyed, of the maps that we have
Can we bring in some new maps like Diabolic or Urban? and remove the ones like Snow world and one of the moon maps, we currently have 2.
All of the maps can be viewed on http://www.moddb.com/mods/reign-of-the-undead-zombies/addons/page/1
We could make a vote or sometin on which maps we want?

oh and thx to Melrose for the idea of posting here.......why didn't I think of that?

I appreciate it

sincerely Ptah, not peeter

 

[WaLLy]

I'm up for it. I just need a consensus and I'll make the necessary changes.

 

[Cryogenic Flare]

Ok poll up

 

[WaLLy]

Ptah, I'll change your poll to end in 3 days. That's usually the norm around here and should give plenty of time for people to look at the suggested changes. If people get pissed off because of a short time, then it's their fault for not visiting the forum to keep up to date on the changes/news.

You can never take away Tunnel, besides that I think some diff maps would be cool.

Um question is this a totally different zombie mod and would need different server for it or can you add these maps to the current map rotation?

Some maps do not work on ROTU 2.1 but we'll find out when we get there. Some of the coders do mention which ROTU the map works on but not most of them enter that info in the map description.

well if we had a team of people to test a bunch of maps, one of them being someone who can admin the server if it crashes or something, we could go through tons of maps to see which ones work.

 

[SteelHorse]

That sounds like an awesome idea TD. Im up for that if WaLLy is lol.

OH OH PICK ME, PICK ME!:fuckyea::gamer_console:

oh but when, if we do it, will this be?

I can't really promise a set time I can be available. But in the meantime, I'll download 10 new maps, add them to the server and the redirect. I'll whip up a single rar file for you folks to download as well. The only thing is, if I'm not here, D would have to rotate the maps, unless you guys can just enter in the server, let the map load, play for a few minutes (3-5 max) to see if the zombies spawns and then go to spec mode to end the map/round. Do that until you cycle through all the new maps. To make the change easier, I will only add the new maps to the rotation so that if D or I aren't available then at least the testers aren't wasting their time with an old map.

I'll begin right meow.

 

[Cryogenic Flare]

When r they going to be up? then maps I mean

 

[WaLLy]

14 maps downloaded. I'm starting to upload the maps to the server and then will do the redirect.

Maybe 1 hour from now, the server should be ready. Not sure, as I currently can only use WiFI at work

I'll give you an update in an hour.

 

[JohnSmith]

This is good news, perhaps we will get more new members with these new maps! looking forward to playing on these new maps.

 

[WaLLy]

14 new maps have been added to the server and they are:

1. mp_ffc_de_attack
2. mp_fnrp_bridge
3. mp_fnrp_cemetery
4. mp_fnrp_futurama_v3
5. mp_fnrp_lighthouse
6. mp_fnrp_market
7. mp_fnrp_racecourse.1
8. mp_fnrp_secret_base
9. mp_fnrp_sewer
10. mp_fnrp_store
11. mp_grad_hall
12. mp_surv_d_tomb
13. mp_surv_ffc_parkorman
14. mp_surv_diabolic

The 14 maps can be downloaded by clicking here. Extract the contents into your usermaps folder.

So far, Ptah, Dennis and I were able to rotate and load the new map just fine. Hope that's the case with the rest of them as well.

The previous maps have been removed from the config, so if you would like to see one of the previous maps added again, post the map name here. For now though, lets try to stick to those maps for 2-3 days just to make sure the server rotate and loads all maps just fine.

Have fun!

unfortunately after you left we, Dennis and I, checked out a couple new maps. The one we had trouble with were no. 13. There were random rebuild spots but when we used the rebuild option, nothing happened. We got a couple points for it but besides that, there were no other benefits.
Another Issue I would like to bring up is map no. 3 "Cemetery". I have played on this map before on other server, and I find it extremely difficult. Anyone who has seen my play on maps can vouch for me, I am really good at zombies, in solider class, but even I find it really hard to survive on this map. There is very little room to manouver and the zombies spawn is every single coffin in this map. I suggest removing this map.
The maps that remain unchecked are 2, 4-8, 9, 11 and 12. All others that are not in the comments above work fine
WaLLY here is the Urban map link you asked for, thx for the maps

Sincerly Ptah *Brofist*

 

[SteelHorse]

Can we get Tunnel back pls? A lot of the regulars have asked about it as well.

 

[MelRose]

The original or v2?

I also didn't realize how many rotu maps there were on the server- somehow I always seem to come in on bridge lol

 

[WaLLy]

I'll add it tomorrow. Don't recall why I didn't add it in the first place.

Tunnel is a map I absolutely hate after playing it over 500 times. But if people want it and if it brings people to the server then go with it! I would like tunnelv2 more but people probably want the original one.

That's exactly how I feel Rival
