Mac Gaming Mods

Sup guys, «Beast» here, and it seems that from being gone so long I forgot how fun Halo could be. So basically here is my proposal. For all who have Halo, the full/retail version, I have converted a CE map called Zombies, creator unknown, to full using Harbinger (thanks to Altimit and sword and the rest of the Harbinger development team for such an easy to use program!) of one of the most fun gametypes there is. ZOMBIES. This is a Halo 2 style map, complete with zombies with energy swords and all that. If you don't know how to play zombies, it's simple.

Two teams, red and blue. Red team = humans, blue team = zombies. Everyone starts out red except for 1 person who is the zombie. He uses the energy sword to kill reds, all the while the reds use shotguns and anything else in their arsenal to prevent themselves from being cut in half. Those who the zombie kills switch to the blue (zombie) team and join the original zombie in killing the reds (humans). This is continued until either A. Time runs out and red wins, or B. all reds are dead and thus zombies, and blue team wins.

Here are some screenshots of the map.

We need to organize a time for all of us to get online and have a large game of zombies, Halo 1 style, oldschool. Post some times that would be convenient for you guys. I'm up for pretty much whenever.

Any time* between 13:00 and 17:00 is good, and I might be able to get on between 19:00 and 22:00 (but no later)

That looks like a fun game ^-^
But... I assume the player has to switch teams, as H1 does not have support for forced team switching o.o


* All times are eastern US

Yeah I haven't play-tested this map, but I think the player will have to switch teams manually. But hey, at least it's a fresh environment with some neat weapons and zombies with energy swords!

I was hoping since it was CE that the switching, team assignment and weapon options would be controlled by a script. Although that might be a bit too much to hope for. I'd be up for it but can't peg a time so I'll see what other people put together first.

Well, like I said Altimit, I haven't play-tested the map, so there might be some scripts coming into play. We'll just have to try it out with another person in-game.

what i want to know is a set time, date and server name.

Well I really expected a lot more people to be on this board... But anyway, why not:

Tonight, Tuesday, July 1st. 7pm EST.
Server name: Halo Mac Zombie Mod
Server password: mgm

I still can't find my full CD. Sorry. If I find it today, I'll try to join.

Edit: Holy crap. After days of searching the house, I finally found the goddamn CD, upstairs with my dad's computer stuff. Gah... freaking parents, always misplacing my stuff...

omfg i am so jealous. My computer is only coming back on the 20th of July. Thanks so much Beast i can't wait to play this

I have something going on at 7, which I will be back from at some time between 8:30 and 9. I dunno if the server will still be up then, but I'll try and get on it.

I cant find the zombies O.o

I can't find the server.

SORRY GUYS OMG. I fell asleep, my bad.

Server going up NOW. One hour late, not too bad I guess. xD

GO GO GO.

Name: HALO MAC ZOMBIE MOD
Pass: mgm

Try direct IP if you can't find the server.

71.98.143.151:2302

EDIT: Map blows hard. No sword lunge, no automatic team switching. The two things I wanted.

O-M-G This mod is fun! :O

Hee hee, I converted this awhile ago, but I also modded it so you could more easily play Zombies. (You spawn with Shotgun and Energy sword, as well as a few other tweaks.)
