Well, It's untextures so far, wadfather is not working ATM so I don't have textures.

It's a graveyard with a crypt. The zombies will spawn from within the crypt.

Looking good so far Caboose.

[Maveric]

omg yes.

Be sure to have some hands and limbs strewn throughout the place too, dude.

Zombies could maybe also burst up from the graves - it would prevent spawncamping. (Also I hope it's going to be larger... :P)

[LordSavage]

Wow, that looks verynice so far. if u need textures i have some good hq textures, because i work on a map with the "same" style

hehe, yes, this is just the zombie start.

What about the zombies-coming-out-of-the-graves bit? Possible in HL1? Or will it take HL2?

[skidz]

zombies could come out of graves, but it wouldnt look that great.
A zombie slowly coming though the ground in a stand tall position.
Ents cant be pushed though solid world brushes via trains.

zombies could come out of graves
Even better, use a modified animation of the zombie popping out of the vent in c1a4 (I think.)
THAT would be really cool.
Good work too.

[skidz]

possible with the help of some coding.

[Malevolent]

Looks nice Caboose. Looking forward to this one too.

Regarding the coming-out-of-the-ground: Perhaps a player-sized cavity can be hollowed out under each grave, and a func_breakable ground cover can be added over their head (with a func_ladder on the walls so they can clamber out).

Basically, the zombie would spawn and have to break out of the ground and climb out.

That said, lookin' snazzy bewse :)

[skidz]

that wouldnt look very believable :P
but good imagination none the less :)

The best way I think would be to have a func_train push the zombie though the ground, and have env_shooters shoot rock debris in the air around it to give the effect while also consealing the zombie somewhat so it doesnt look too unrealistic.

[Scribbles]

How about spawn the zombie in a closet and have them break out of that?

Seeing as it was done in HL itself a few times, I think that would be a nice method of spawning the first zombie.

[LordSavage]

i would put the bars to the walls far away to.

If the default animation was made to appear as a climb and then this was executed it would look pretty darn good. With a trigger to set to make the zombie animation go to a more walking/zombie like one as it stands on ground would look good too. Would look similar to Neil Mankes "They Hunger" series too.
