We're still working on the new weapons, player models, animations, and competative game mode we discussed before. Hardcore was meant as a gift to some of our long time fans who've been asking for something like it and our dual slot weapons was always intended. Will update you on the rest as soon as we can.

Tats...

I must say, you are doing gr8 work here.

Finally the weapon whores die soon enough to not screw the game

What I'm doing is no different than the tag system that Valve has already. But we don't have access to modify that, so I had to resort to this. Honestly people can either ignore it or make use of it. What's so hard about 4 different displayed options? To be honest, hardcore is probably the last one I will mess with. It's just a big enough option that people NEED to know if a game is in hardcore mode or not before joining.

I really didn't think it would cause any confusion, so apologies if I confused you. But adding the system to explain why some servers have high infection and some don't seemed pretty important to me.

While apparently everything done in this release was intentional, I think I found a visual glitch with the weapon inventory.






sorry, I probably should have resized that...

I forgot my main point, and the reason I made that stupid post. Which is, why did you remove the half ammo drop option? Just as I reached the middle point in this thread I posted without reading the rest because it was too painful. Is there a reason you removed this?

It's the only way I share ammo. If I got a rifle, and I pick up a box of ammo - I'm happy to share it, well; half of it. No way am I handing out full boxes. I mean that's my only box. Is there anyway to chuck half still?

And I'm not confused about the server tag stupid things (a-z, right tats?) but if you don't go to the forums, don't read the changelog.txt and don't have access to that amazing image then you're pretty fu**ed.

You gotta keep in mind that NO ONE even reads the .txt files for maps. When I released my only map it was obvious 95% of players who didn't understand what to do had failed to even read the .txt file explaining so.

And you want these tech generation iPhone freaks to understand the server aberrations? Think about it. Someone sees h and H, they probably don't even realise there’s a difference. To your average American Joe who just finished a whopping sweaty time on the complexities of Guitar Hero, they simply won't know unless someone tells them.

Don't worry – everyone here understands it, even a moron like me. But the others don't and that's where your problem is.

The guy above me who posted screenshots is a perfect example. It would seem he failed to read the news article, the forum post or the changelog about double slots. Throw cabin in the background and hey presto, you gotta prime time player of Zombie Panic: someone who just doesn't know yet yall expect him to.

You're all freaking out on ways to make people understand, yet the complete opposite effect is happening. Watch some of Valves behind the scenes videos/commentaries on how they made their games and faced that same challenge (which was even bigger for them) and troubleshoot it to death.

I mean let's face it: if and when you add another gamemode/feature/whatever you're gonna add another server aberration right? Where does it end?

ZPS Love making server ---- ZPS 1.9.2ci+D- --------- 0/20 players (forever)

What's right is right.

(p.s I realise you’d utilise Valves “tag” system if you could, but really is that any better?)

[u4eatriggerhappy]

I read about the double slot, I personally don't like it because I can't unload guns(it seems that way anyways). It ruins the purpose of having the ability to unload guns in which there is nothing wrong with taking ammo from a gun which is too obselete to use like the ppk. And sorry about the double pictures in the post, but please don't get me involved in your argument. I joined so perhaps I can help somehow with ideas and other stuff maybe, whatever I can help with.

He's the guy who hates Americans and enjoys bashing us. He also made that crappy channel 9 map that noone plays.

It was because griefers were using it to lag crash server.

Alright, enough bashing. Keep on topic.

I get it.

I'm a douche.

I'm not trying to argue or troll, but it comes across that way because I'm immature. Frikazoyd is the only one who's done the right thing in my valueless opinion and kept his cool instead of cleaning up my quotes or posting a hilarious and related image or rubbing their nose in it (see: buttspurt).

If you haven’t noticed already, I'm on the verge of crying. Jeez you think I want to spend my time arguing, online!?

So yeah it's crunch time: you carry on and sit me in front of a mirror (Which. Does. Actually. Phase. Me) or realize that this opinion isn't just mine, but a minority of your consumers.

Why do I care so much?
