Zombie Panic Help Created 18 years ago2006-12-31 03:25:50 UTC by rowleybob

Is there a way to run through zp maps through the console or something, when there are no other players playing? Afaik, there are no bots for this mod, and if you start a new game from the console or otherwise, yer stuck in the waiting area until you get more players. I think Sven Coop is this way too.

There are some superbly-mapped zp levels I'd love to roam through to check them out more closely, but no way to to it unless you're in a game

(there are also many awfully-mapped zp levels out there, but the good ones more than make up for the bad )

Just use BSP Viewer. Sure its garbage, but its probly the only way.

LOL I forgot about that!!1

Thanks Luke!

What is this Zombie Panic thing everybody's been talking about recently?

You should try it, it's quite fun. 1-2 guys start as the zombie and the rest of the players are human. If you die as a human you become/remain a zombie until the next round.

Weapons are scarce, but they respawn after a while. Also about weapons/ammo: if you pick up too much, it makes you walk really slow, making you an easy target for the brain eaters.

The downsides are at any given time there are only 3-5 servers up, and some of them play really terrible custom maps most of the time--The stock maps and a few of the custom maps are supberbly sexy though. Also, some of the servers are quite laggy.

More downsides: they're not developing it anymore, and there is no provision for bots.

Luke: Nem's new version of BSPViewer, Crafty is actually pretty good--I just downloaded/tried it.

It's about 1000 times better than the original, and it even shows some limited lighting. All in all it works great for what I need it fore... Thanks again

Tried zombie panic some time ago. Dudes, don't play it.
If you wanna shot zombies, the best way to do that with the HL1 engine is for sure BrainBread. Sure, the maps are aweful but the gameplay is super.
Not many servers around for that mod either but those that are running aren't laggy or anything.

I can never find a non-laggy server for that. Maybe it's me

Neato.

It's about 1000 times better than the original, and it even shows some limited lighting.

BSPViewer shows lighting too... :

Rowle: Yeah, it might be you and it might be the fact that the game itself is laggy ;P I only said that the servers are non-laggish but the game is pretty laggy. I play it a lot on LAN and it basicly the same on the net, that's how I know that the servers aren't laggy

Yeh, I heard about Zombie Panic.
Gonna try it out.

Heard? It's so old

Out of the two I'd say Brain Bread is fun for a while but there's nothing like chasing a friend as a Zombie

You can do that in Brainbread!
