Zombie Master Beta 1.2.1 - Linux dedicated server
Jan 04, 2009 Server 1 commentServer-only version of ZM 1.2.0 for Linux servers.
Zombie Master In Short
Zombie Master is a multiplayer Half-Life 2 modification, centred around a zombie-apocalypse, which throws all but one player in the shoes of human survivors. Pitched against a relentless tide of rotting flesh, they must scavenge for weaponry and equipment just to stay alive. But that one player, chosen randomly at the beginning of the round, is not bound by mortal restraints.
To speak his name is to invite the wrath of hell - but most call him the 'Zombie Master'. He is nigh omnipotent. His invisible hand controls the legions of undead like puppets on strings; slowly closing the net on the humans while they run to and fro like rats in a maze.
Features
Human team:
* A wide range of weapons to scavenge such as shotguns, molotov cocktails, rifles and more
* A number of challenging objectives that encourage players to team up and work together
* The ability to interact with the environment to build barricades and carry objects
Zombie Master:
* Real Time Strategy gameplay; create and command your own undead horde
* A wide variation of zombie units encourages the ZM to adopt complex tactics
* Environmental "manipulates" allow the ZM to interact with the world in devilish ways
* Mysterious powers let the ZM manifest his power in a more direct fashion... for a price

Zombie Master 1.2.1 has been released, fixing many of the more pressing bugs present in version 1.2.0 and tweaking game balance.
Summary of the changes in 1.2.1:
The new version is only available as a full installer download. You do not need any previous versions of the mod installed. If you're new to ZM, do make sure you own a Steam game that includes the Source SDK Base. Most Valve games like HL2, TF2 and L4D do include this, so if you own one you are ready to play.

This mod is awesome. But it has a lot of flaws regarding the hitboxes and zombies that need to be nerfed. Drifters attack effect needs to be nerfed. If you're surrounded you can't go anywhere and you're dead. Even by 1 drifter because you can't kill it if its hitting you.
Also the hitboxes I mentioned before. Someone needs to fix those. Really, you can only kill banshees if they're following you and you're walking away in a straight line. There is almost no way you can kill them if they're moving except for that way.
Other than that good game.
Ok, first of all, Zombie Master Black Edition has nothing to do with these developers. Second, these developers aren't going to update ZM any more, 1.2.1 is the final release. Third, this mod isn't dead. Well, people are playing it but obviously the zombies are fairly dead :P
And finally - IT'S AWESOME!!!
I am downloading this now. What happens if you die in this mod? All zombies are controlled by one player, so have I just wait until the round ends?
You get the team of survivors and one zombie master. The zombie master creates and controls the zombies, which are just AI - not players. So, once you die, you have to wait for a new round before you can spawn again.
quite honestly i dont know what to believe... im not bashing but i have heard several times that he is sick of the mod and is discountinuing work on it. first time i heard this was at 1.1.2
so as far as i know by miracle or godsend hell recover the files and 2.0 will be out before we know it.
Who is sick of the mod? There are like 4 guys who develop ZM. The code that was lost was an offshoot mod called Zombie Master Industries and has nothing to do with Zombie Master.
Zombie Master Ind, was a complete fail.
This game needs a m4!
much much much better than zombie panic source
dude i totally and completely agree with you, im addicted to this mod too!
