The BladeIN/DM/CTF package for Land of the Dead, version 1.1 has been released! These game-type additions make -no- changes to gameplay and rules, however they do fix -many- bugs from the original game and add several features that were missing from the original multiplayer Land of the Dead. In addition to the usual round of multiplayer fixes, this package also includes fixes for bugs that affect single player as well, and one of them is a major performance enhancement.
BladeIN/DM/CTF adds the following to the original game: Complete administrator capability, with kick/ban/server map controls, as well as the ability to edit your Map rotation from within game. Ability to add a virtually unlimited number of characters - you will no longer be limited to chosing from 2 characters with 3 skins.
For the Invasion game type, it includes several server controls to increase or decrease the amount of zombies within game.
In addition, this version includes a launcher program ("LOTD Configurator") that makes it a snap for just about anyone to run a Land of the Dead server. Complete documentation and new character packs will be available within the next few days.
many, many thanks for the configurator, it's a godsend
my god..i love this game. Its funny I actually got it as a gift last christmas...sadly my hard drive crashed, and I never got around to re installing it...funny. I loved the mp, but it had so many bugs.
I have 2 questions.
1. Does this fix that bug where you would zoom in sniper and then not be able to unzoom?
2. Does anyone still play this MP...cause I remember only finding a few small servers going...and I think its awesome that you guys made a mod, but does it have enough people to support it?

I have not personally made an effort to track that one down, in fact, I forgot about it because I hardly ever use the scope. I'll have to play around with it and see if it's become less frequent or gone away from some of the changes. If it does still exist, then I do recall that tapping "R" (or whatever your reload key is) rapidly a few times usually unsticks it. I think there was a change in there that may have fixed the problem where if you are killed while the scope is up when you respawn, your mouse movement is all messed up, and that may have affected that. Honestly, I've changed so much stuff I can't remember all of it :D
Yes there are still players that play, there are typically 10-20 servers running, and maybe more with this :)
Please reinstall the game, make sure you install the 1.1 patch (it's in the file section here, and at groovegames.com still), and join in :)

A tip:
Once the server is running, to access your server, start Land of the Dead, select Multiplayer, and then click on the "LAN" tab, and you should see your server there.
