Actually, Darlos, take a look at the Lua.
It should be documented well enough that you can change it yourself.
If not, PM me or something.

Well thats what I was saying. I'm a programmer as a career. I should be able to handle it, but for some reason didn't think about it.

Now, I have a problem to point out and a suggestion to make that might make this game a bit better. The problem is this: often when you kill a zombie close to the edge, he goes careening off into oblivion. In a game where your progress is dependent on their bodies piling up, it might be prudent to set it up so the edges are solid and the zombies - or you - can't go flying off into the blackness. This, I believe, would increase the pace of the game enough to where the pre-set intervals would actually be okay. Plus, the zombies would become more dangerous as you couldn't have it set up so the edges slope down to where they can't climb up to you easily, which is what tends to happen as the game is now. If you changed it, it'd level out quickly, and you'd have the zombies coming right at you. Faster and more hectic is probably the direction you want to go in.

I could certainly do that, as it actually does do it for the player already. I just chose not to because then you end up with the horror that is zombies spawning within each other at the spawn point, which clears itself should they decide to stick around.
And sorry, I thought your last post was sarcasm.

Maybe you could just have the spawn points wait until they're clear.

Yeah, but that would slow down the speed of zombies spawning a lot once they start pouring out every 0.5 seconds.

IThe only thing I didnt like was the selection of weapons you made.
I changed that to make it more fun and interesting:

Peacemaker, Uzi, Spas12, M16, Bazooka, Revolver Cannon and the Gatlingun finally.



Can you send me that version of this mod?

Quick Modification: Go to Body Ladder.rte/Scenes/Scripts/Body Ladder.lua

All you have to do is change these instancenames (replace both instances of "pistol" to whatever you want):
Code:
         FrameMan:SetScreenText("Height of 100 reached!  New weapon: Pistol.  Zombie spawn speed increased!", Activity.PLAYER_1, 0, 5000, false);
         playerActor:AddInventoryItem(CreateHDFirearm("Pistol"));
