[WIP] HaloMD Zombies Gametype

[Sparky]

What is the problem with the bsp? Do you get an error when you compile it in Tool or something? Or are you talking about a game engine rendering problem? The shader affects the game engine rendering; the bsp shouldn't otherwise have an issue unless it's corrupted somehow, like from a poor conversion, which would give it holes in its collision.

What I did in Concretely Cemented, Completely Demented, is to use a single piece of customized scenery for the ground, rather than have the ground consist of many smaller building blocks which all use the same shader tag.

The evidence of this shader problem is that multiple scenery with the same shader will disappear while most of the other scenery will not, even when they are abundant in number (but are different scen tags with different shader tag references).

It's not a problem I'm having right now - it's a previously observed problem with some maps where the BSPs have many faces.

HAC 2 (somewhat like HaloMD, but for Halo PC/CE) has implemented a fix for this issue.

This was mainly done to fix glitches on existing maps but the extra budget could be used to produce more detailed maps. Although the limit has been doubled, it could be increased further in the future if desired. I'm aware that OS does something similiar (wasn't at the time of implementation), although I'm not sure if it's only for .yelo maps. Assuming it's not, having this as a feature in more than one mod will allow map makers to have their higher detailed maps played by a wider audience.

Where .yelo maps are maps made for Kornmann00's extensions to Halo CE, lol. So many different versions of Halo these days.

This is my count:
Halo Xbox 1
Halo Demo Mac
Halo Full Mac
HaloMD
Halo Trial PC
Halo Full PC
Halo CE
OpenSauce (Halo CE with Yelo extensions)

Those BSPs would need to be given exact portal planes to assist the game engine in clipping unnecessary rendered faces. Also, we're off topic now.

CCCD and Deep Space Arena have been added to the mapcycle. Map voting will be added shortly.

Map voting now works! Parallel Redux and Crossing have both been added to the map voting list, as well as the map cycle.

You should be able to say "skip" to vote for a map vote. Like in Custom Edition. Nice!

[002]

I've updated map voting a little bit so it's easier to look at. I've also finished a separate map voting plugin to be used on non-zombies servers, too, but I'll talk about that later.

Oh, you did remove the @s!

Map voting is a good feature, glad to see it being implemented.

I am soon going to hand the server back to nil to be used for something better. I haven't got any big projects (none that I can reveal without assuring that I'm not lying), so it will most likely be another normal server.

The reason for doing this is pretty obvious. I'm done with working on it, maybe forever. I can't believe I've nearly finished! It's been a good two and a half months working on it, from when I hosted the very first version to Modzy hosting it to this version I made from scratch. Thank you so much for playing on it. I would probably have never completed it if it weren't for public testing. To the map creators, thanks for making the maps. It wouldn't have been done so well without you guys.

Now for some useless trivia!

• The first version, I worked on for nearly two weeks before handing it over to Modzy. This version, I only worked on for 2 days before its public debut on the dedicated server.
• The scoring system, which I called "Arcade Scoring", is not random. You get a certain number of points based on certain conditions. It may seem random, but it isn't, trust me.
• Zombies is the first server to have my map voting subroutine, since I had to integrate it for it to work properly.

If you are asked any questions about my mod when playing Trivial Pursuit, just remember what I said.[/size][/color]

The server has been replaced with a server that's oriented on free-for-all gametypes, for now. Thanks for playing. I'm going to be working on commenting and cleaning the code and possibly releasing it for you guys.

I'm going to be away for a couple weeks this July, so I will likely not be able to release it until August.

I understand that I'm quite late to this thread, however I am wondering if there are still methods for installing the mod. I frequently host 9 player games and zombies would be a very fun gamemode. How would I install it? Is it public yet? Sorry for such a late comment.

Sorry. I haven't released it and I guess I gave up on releasing it.

sehe has released a similar script, although without any sort of arcade scoring: http://halo.isimaginary.com/forum/thread-377.html

Thanks, and I loved your gamemode - I used to play on Nil's server.
