Return of Zombie Ops - Release, Voting, MOTY, ... news

Today I'm bringing you some good news about RoZo, especially version 0.5, also I do have a request but more on that later on.

RoZo v0.5 Patches

A little after releasing build 0.5.021 we decided that there are still big flaws within it and started to rework major parts of the mod, the changelog includes now about 100 changes. A majority of the content posted after my last news ( Return of Zombie Ops - v0.5 Final Release ) were actually content of a new patch for v0.5. The new build is still in development and we started a Closed Beta, please don't ask if you can participate we're choosing the people on our own.
However the build will be released to the public soon after our server is running stable. Also this one will be the last big Patch for v0.5, even though the previous one was meant to be so :)

RoZo Patches

We received a lot of bug reports, mainly from Clans, pointing out a whole bunch of stuff in the mod. Of course we're trying to patch them as soon as possible and we're also thankful for any further bug reports. Of course we'll try to provide the best possible support and also there will be more patches (talking of small ones here) fixing anything that can be fixed.
Another trigger for patches could be mappers asking for new functions, currently I'm helping IZaRTaX with a rozo version of his latest map mp_surv_jakram and during the progress we already had some idea for further mapping support. (Unfortunately I am not able to finish my mapping video tutorials at the moment. If there are questions about it please send me a message and I'll try to help.)
Of course we'll not stuff every function into the mod but frequently used functions can be added on request.

Voting and MOTY

Since voting has been opened in August we recived only little votes for the mod. I feel like there is more possible, please give us feedback, if you don't give a full 10/10 I'd appreciate some feedback why you think the mod doesn't deserve it, I know we'll not be able to make the mod perfect for everyones taste but feedback always helps.Also MOTY voting just recently started, I don't think we'll make it to the "Mod of the Year" but even a position within the top 100 would mean very much for us, since we all put a lot of effort, time and at times even money into this mod.So please vote for our mod and don't hesitate to tell your friends to do so too :)

Closed Beta

And to finally come to an end of these news, if the closed beta for the new v0.5 build works out good we'll continue this principle, VIPs will automatically have access.
