This is my first map so be kind!

I have made it for a mod for gmod called Zombie Survival
( http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/showthread.php?t=73442 )

The concept of the mod is basically to stay alive (don't get killed by the Zombies) Everyone starts off as a Human and you fight the Zombies, if you get killed by a Zombie you become one! (Their are NPC zombies all through the round).

If you can are a zombie you can choose your class. Eg. headcrab, zombie, fast zombie etc.

If you are a human you start off with a standard pistol and a knife. as you kill more zombies you get better weapons. Right up until the RPG. (You have to be pretty legendary to get that)

Now enough about the mod and more about the map.....

It isn't a huge looker but the emphasis here is on gameplay. Its just fun to make zombies chase after you and then get then and maybe you trapped in the pit. The Pit has lots of headcrabs in it just waiting for you to fall in......

It has a few bugs but to be honest I made this map as a test, to see if anyone was interested. If there is interest I will most definitely do a v2 and fix all the bugs and add the features I dreamed of....

At first I was gonna say the mapping wasn't the best and the lighting needed work but because it is a Garry's mod game it doesn't matter so much because it looks like fun

How did you make it?

The mod isn't mine by the way. But the people who wrote it used LUA.
If you are refering to the map then I used hammer
maybe I should organize a meetup one of these days so you can all get a good feel of how it acts when several people are on it?

Zombie Survival pwns.

Read up on 3D skyboxes. The lack of them in this map really puts it down to just being a displacement map with some props or brushes. You may want to choose another sky as well as the default sky looks ugly on low or medium texture resolutions...

Yeah, I'm easily put off by the look of something, I know, but you can do better, even for a first map. Keep it up.

Yep, In fact I have already fixed the crappy sky-box in v2. I started it earlier.
Can I just say that this is a very lazy map. It reflects none of my ability. I just felt like making a zs_ map and it turned out this way.

Read up on 3D skyboxes.

I know how to do 3D skyboxes. as I said before, I just couldn't be arsed.
