Zombie Maps (02/15/2010)

[Natalya]

There are lots of new zm_ maps on fpsbanana.com... Go take a look at them, dl them, and test them or play them on other servers and then come back here and tell me which ones to get for the server. Some of our stuff is pretty old right now. ZM mapping went through a dark age back when I was still making tons of maps for it, but now that I've more or less left the scene I see that other people have taken up the torch. I'm not done with ZM though -- I like to convert my other projects to be ZM compatible so expect more from me in the future, but you'll probably never see a huge project like zm_lv426 from me again.

In any case, tell me what rocks and I'll get it.

I've heard nothing but good things about this map:

I'm looking through FPSB right now as well.

[Cogbern]

Can we get neko_dam back on the server, this map is awsome , idk if it crashed server or what, but like omega either you work together or you die.

[<JohnnyBoy>]

Ok i only got 4 maps out of 10 but these are pretty good!
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_ghs_2places
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_miniature_room_v1
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_airport_panic_beta1
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_doom3
I don't know about this one scene nat said it doesn't work....
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_machine_of_doom

[Natalya]

The airport one crashed our server when it was in beta. Maybe now it is fixed? We will try it, just warning you that it may not work. Machine of Doom is also a server crasher so we can't use it. The only other bad map is zm_ghs_2places which is basically canals plus something else. And canals sucks. But yeah other than those 3 please take a look at them in game and tell me what u think. And yes, we WILL try the airport one again.

[SeanConnery]

Can we look at maybe removing some of the maps from the server? I have had numerous complaints about the following maps:

zm_ghsflats - too dark and lame
zm_underground_imp - too many tubes to camp in and crouch spots, admin nightmare. no props.
zm_silenthillhell - Zombies do nothing but suicide for credits, nice concept but just doesnt seem to work. also no great hiding spots or props

zm_pyramid - way too small for full group and half of the map your crouching around anyway in the pyramid

zm_egypt - HUGE map, no props just running around

zm_3dubka-
zm_fidlersgreen - not sure but on my list

im going to add some suggestions once i compile my list again. any thoughts?

I agree with all of these.
Add the botva map or whatever it is, it only has 2 spawn points therefore it cant be played.

[Natalya]

I don't understand. Like none of those are in rotation so how are they getting played? Well, ghs_flats is but that map stays since it's séxy.

[kudos]

Im not much of a forum person but here i go

well these are some maps i have tried lately(i could care less if you don't put em)

Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_mall_beta_b1
Me likey
Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Escape > ze_jurassicpark_v2
maybe?
Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_tx_highschoolbeta7
2nd on my list
Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_airport_panic_bobpoblo
this 1 is a must have ive seen ppl want it
Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_miniature_room_v1
This 1 in a way is like the Neko Athletic Park nowhere to hide exactly

sooo... yea just putting those out there if at least one of those is put on there ill be happy.

[SeanConnery]

Ok, here are some of my recommendations, I have played these before, tested, and over all think they would make a great addition to our selection:

Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_nuclair_v2
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_nuclair_v2
-Very fun map, fun to run around and lots of dumb secrets that everyone can enjoy.

Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_wotexmap_v3
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_wotexmap_v3
- Yes, it may look dumb at first, but its a great general ZM map. Lots of spots to hide, secrets, etc.

Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_zomgzombies_v1
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_zomgzombies_v1

-Good map, well balanced imo. Lots of hiding spots.

Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_mystery3
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_mystery3
- Used to play this on an old server like 2 years ago. Great map, looks really neat, always fun.

Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_lobby_b5
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_lobby_b5
-Different map, moving walls, lots of things to do, fun.

Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_jthm_time
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_jthm_time
-Neat concept of the stopped time. Fun map.

Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_fubar_towers_v5
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_fubar_towers_v5
-Something different. Played, and is fun. Someone said something that some doors only open from outside, if we rotate this can that be fixed?

Maps > CS:S > Other/Misc > zm_cbglc_b3
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S > Other/Misc > zm_cbglc_b3
-Was one of my favorites from a long time ago. Its alot of fun.

Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_app7e_bworldfinal
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_app7e_bworldfinal

-I like this map. Looks like it used to be in rotation?

Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_alaskan_survival_gpk
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > zm_alaskan_survival_gpk
-Classic map from a while ago, lots of fun.

Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Escape > ze_jurassicpark_v2
FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Escape > ze_jurassicpark_v2
-Dinosaurrrssssssssssss
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Escape > ze_LOTR_Helms_Deep_v3_2

http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/103454

-At least give us the option like the other lotr map we have on the list.

More to come after I test out some more...........

YOUR THOUGHTS??

[DoT]

We've had:

zomgzombies
mystery
fubar
& jurrasic park

not sure why they were taken off, youd have to ask nat.

[sacabu]

mystery is or was on the big list, it fails, app7e and zomgzombies had been played but we dont go there so often, fubar towers is weird, and jurassic2 is too pixelated or so. but i agree most of the rest are rly good maps.

on the other hand the server is empty and that's because the players have been on the same reg maps like 200 times (besides me), even with the changes in rotation some of the maps empty the server, like zj ocean or lv 426 and ghs flats.

[Cogbern]

I know we have app7e in the server and most ppl rly enjoy it, lots of secrets, few crouch spots, but its not on rotation, and I agree with sacabu zj_oceans_assaults needs to be removed from the server until it's fixed (blue plane glitches then red plane glitches into blue plane, then both glitch out side of map forcing ppl to glitch out of the map).

[Sajora]

lotr sucks.

[DoT]

RussianGermanEnglish made a new map:

FPSBANANA > Maps > CS:S ZM > Zombie Mod > ZM_2337

Looks pretty good, quite big though.
