I know it's been done, but the version I checked out had some bugs in it that I can't really explain... so I wrote my own...

These zombies are fairly balanced and not overpowered, so they should be usable, and pretty fair. Basically, they are regular zombies with jetpacks, they heal quickly from almost any impact, so the only way to kill them is with fire, explosions, and headshots. This may sound bad, but it works really well and they're still relatively easy to kill. Whenever they are touching another actor, the actor's life is sucked away, killing them in around 3 seconds, then the actor is immediately turned into a zombie.

Zombie Features
- Jetpack
- Healing
- Can survive without limbs
- Infect other units turning them into zombies.

Zombie Weaknesses
- Explosions
- Fire
- Headshots
- Units with a grenade in their inventory ( when they die, the grenade detonates killing the zombie )

The version I wrote also doesn't gib the victim, they are immediately turned into a zombie, I tried gibbing in several versions, but the actors looked sloppy and the particles ended up killing the zombie, so this method works best.

Right now the zombies are only on player teams, but I might release a version where they are neutral, killing both the CPU and Player units, but for now they're human controlled.

Please Post suggestions on what you would like to see in later releases.

Sounds pretty interesting... Testing now.

Get a 7zip compressor, zip is frowned upon here. Something to do with the code. It makes the mod not appear ingame.

7zip always did seem easier than winrar anyway, seems more user friendly.

Will test this out also, sounds ok.

This mod could use two things for spawning the zombies easily anywhere:

1. Activities file. Which I just made in a couple seconds:



Save this code on a new ini file within the mod and link it to the index.ini.


2. A spawner emitter. Optionally destroyable. Probably somekind of discusting flesh blob might work well if you can sprite one. Alternatively use the zombie cave tube thing.

I would suggest giving them weapons that infect people.

Mele of course.

That'd be cool, like the zombies hit the player; the players health drops down slowly depending on how many times the zombie hit him and when he dies he turns into a zombie.

Whats the point when they already infect people when getting close enough.
The most I'd give a zombie is a shovel. These are good as they are in terms of dangerous.

It could act as a secondary infection.

If you survive the attack, the person will pose a long term hazard and will have to be killed.

Combined with weaking the main infection.

Nah I'd hate that. One contact and you can say your expensive soldier goodbye.
I like the ability to save your units from doom.

I like these zombies, but why do they keep jumping randomly? For example when I try to land on my enemy from air, it keeps jumping in the air and makes it impossible to land on the spot I want it to.

I don't know, I don't have that problem, I'll check it out.

Hmm that happens to be right up my alley. Dunno if this will help or not but... http://www.datarealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15244

@ Maxwelldoggums
Maybe we could combine my zombie generator with your zombies to make a super fast zombie spitter-outter? Could be a cool idea and would be something Ive always wanted to work on/help work on.

I would love to see neutral zombies and neutral zombie spawners. Not like the CPU will join forces with us to kill the zombies but they pose as a new threat.

You could even use (If you ask nicely) Mr Evil Poni's zombie spawn idea how it's just a black dot
