Hi people!

Sorry I haven't been here for ages - but RL has kept me busy and I have long since moved on from ZH.

Just to answer a possible question:

Q: Does ZH still work?
A: Yes! It works fine as long as you:

Follow the instructions in the README. The basic steps are to get a CS:S dedicated server operating. Install Metamod Source and get that working, then ZH.

Also make sure you use the following versions:
ZH 1061 - Games.internode.on.net
Metamod:Source version 1.4.3.656

Pay attention to the gameinfo.txt file. In the SearchPaths section, the first entry (before the first 'Game |gameinfo_path|.' line) must be:

GameBin |gameinfo_path|addons/metamod/bin

If anyone needs more support, you can try two things:

1) Visit Games.internode.on.net and post questions there.
2) visit #zh on irc.enterthegame.com and ask around. If you are patient enough, you might catch me there with the nick 'robot'.

woops, that wasnt a pm :/ please delete it hahaa

G'day Tanka.

I would love to chat to you about some modelling work for a mod being made on the east coast of aus. We have an interesting idea and are a bit short in the art dept - if you are interested, please join #zh on irc.enterthegame.com and look around for .robot (me). BTW, we are the team that did Zombiehorde for CS:S and are currently working on a different and original TC for HL2 in the Orangebox engine.

It would be nice to have fellow aussies (in same timezone!) working together. I am in Melb and the other team members are in NSW and SA. We are currently 2 programmers, a level/gameplay designer and an artist - and looking for a modeller and another level designer. We are in the early research and development stage but have development builds and prototypes well under way.

Your cartoon style modelling is perfectly suited to our game - I would love to know if you would be interested.

We didnt 'delete' the linux version. We deleted the old 0.3.2 version and replaced it with the latest 1.0.0 version which is for Windows ADN Linux! Enjoy!

MasterDan1742 - sorry dude, but there isnt a cs:s logo, so this was the closest thing.

By P06N81 - linux servers only, users can only use windows :P

ummm - im talking bout the moddb categories - so maybe think a little before you post :P

robot sez: RTFM!

try www.srcds.com for some help getting source dedicated server installed.

if you need help with zh, visit our forums at www.zombiehorde.com

i hope this helps

:P

yeah i'd cry a little...but i welcome any suggestions for improvement. if this guy had any i'm sure he would reply...

i just get annoyed with how many people tell me to run AMX mod, which is a hl1 engine based thing. they throw their two cents in without even researching their suggestion first...hrmph

afaik there is no AMX Source - there might be Admin Mod X, but that is something else. there is also SourceMod, or Source Metamod - but these are not going to give me much more functionality that i can implement in other ways. the whole point of writing zhplugin (no it's not a ^%#$ing script!) was to give myself an introduction to the engine etc...

but anyway, if anyone out there can make valid criticism of zhplugin, please, i'm all ears. just research your criticism first.

"how can you say that? just get the AMX Source mod and you can have a zombie attack setting that looks much better."

lol, you n00b. Do you actually know what you are talking about? You are saying just download some HalfLife plugin and run it on a Source server and INSTANT ZOMBIE FUN!

I'm afraid it doesn't work like that - feel free to prove me wrong.

deegz

Could I ask people to post help requests at www.zombiehorde.com - I don't want this page to become inundated with help requests etc. I will be deleting help topics as of now...

BTW, try reading the readme.txt file :P

Just a short note: my IP address changed as I have just converted to Static addressing...new address is reflected on the left...

Yeah, sorry about the ping kicker on #1. I am personally against ping kickers but most of my most regular players have demanded that I set it at 400. If you are wondering why you have such a high ping on this server, it is because it is in Melbourne, Australia...

I am hoping that when I publicly release the plugin, more servers will pop up in Aus as well as around the world, thereby making it easy for anyone anywhere to enjoy this style of game.

Due to this being a server side mod, the 'public beta' is the game servers mentioned on the left! The actual plugin shall be released in a few weeks or so...
