Map description:
This is zombidity.
I created it all by myself and with some help from my brothers. A lot of things in this map I learned from tutorials. It is somewhat of a NOAMZ level. It has a deathcounter and a cash system.
When you kill zombies, you get 1 added to your killcounter and 1 cash. When you have enough cash, you can buy upgrades. when you play long enough, you can buy all the upgrades. The game has no end.
The map has 3 types of zombies;
zombie (normal)
poison zombie
fastzombie
Upgrades you can buy from the cash you earn include:
physics objects
a dropship with friendly combines
increased ammo carrying capacity
increased damage on weapons
a friendly turret
a friendly sniper
change gravity
unlimited flashlight/sprint
and some more.
when you would choose from the frienly combine dropship you have a choice.
1 dropship gives you friendly combine soldiers (costs 50 cash)
the second dropship gives you friendly elite soldiers (cost 100 cash)
But when the dropship has landed, and the soldiers jump out, be shure not to buy the friendly dropship again, because the existing soldiers will be replaced.
For example: you choose dropship 1 and the soldiers jump out. Then you go back and choose the dropship 1 again. The dropship lands and the ones that are already on the field disappear. you can still choose for dropship 2 (the elites).
I know it would be better if you could spawn additional combines, but I didnt change it because you could fill the level with combines and I'm trying to prevent that.
Watch out for the poison headcrabs, I died mostly because they attached me, and then a zombie attacked me. Also, be sure not to drop a bomb to close to yourself, for example, you launch a grenade with a smg1, and suddenly a fastzombie jumps up, resulting in the grenade exploding in your face.
I tried to do my best on this level and i like it. I have tested it fairly good, so you shouldnt expect a lot of errors (thats why I put it in completed maps). It is optimized, so you should expect a good fps rate. I compiled it on fast mode with the hammer compiler, it took half an hour.
If you do encounter errors, please let me know.
If you have eny questions on how I did things in this map, ask me.
Put the .bsp in your c:/programfiles/steam/steamapps/username/half life2/hl2/maps folder, and run the game. In the console, type map zombidity
