I'd like to release one of my older maps for ZPS but i need help.

[mrmong]

I made a map a while ago called zps_surrounded, it had its own thread wich is here.
The pictures in the original thread still work btw.

I'm willing to improve it a little but im not sure what to improve, i'm a pretty good 3d modeler and i was doing a trial for the ZPS dev team but i was too busy and the model i made wasn't "good enough" so i could always make some omg wow custom models somewhere.

(its a hospital bed with a 512 texture i don't know how to work the specular in css wtf were you expecting lol) anyways YEAh, map)


okay, its pretty poor visually and it needs some tweakage, but i think the map will be FUN having an army of zombies attacking the outside of the house breaking through the walls would be FUN, the house is pretty much fully breakable,
The only bits you can't smash are the support beams, the television some props and most of the upstairs.

To make this i need to know how to...

-Set up SDK so i can actually select zombie panic source in the menu, its currently stuck at the episode 2 source engine level thingy.

-Make it BETTER what would make it look gooder. the lighting is a little bad but nothing terrible. and the house is small becasue you cant place too many func_breakables without source having an eppy at you.

There are tutorials floating around that tell you how to set up Hammer with mods. Couldn't tell you....eh your're lucky I had it bookmarked!

And change gooder to better lol

And for the breakable part of it, a zombie can only reach so high...and humans will NOT want to waste their ammo shooting up the house. So make only the bottom 1/4 of the house breakable, this way you save on func_breakables.

i did what you said and it just crashes all the time

Honestly I think it's a little small for a ZPS map.

yeah i wanted a way so there were only like 8 survivor slots and the rest zombies but i dunno how

If you like making models, maybe we can team up. My map will probably need some custom furniture and I absolutely suck at models and all that jazz, heh. I'll make a thread for my map soon, it's pretty barebones right now. Let me know if you're interested. :)
