I guess we will be having this today since everybody voted for it, also I have added the human Christmas model for all players.

Link please @Leon Mordecai It's already on the server, so I guess we can switch to it during the event if people want to... We could also run all of the "ice" maps: icehold, icecap, survivors, artika, etc

Sounds good to me, but most of the votes are for Saturday... What does everyone else think?

*Saturday December 23rd* *The time will be around 4pm EST / 1pm PST* The Event Attempt to beat: ze_christmas_b2_1 & then ze_predator_ultimate_p7! Objectives Complete all stages Populate ZE Collect Presents! Bonus 3x Store Credits during the event Human Santa models Holiday Zombie models See you soon!

Announcing 2x Store Credits on ZE! Starting today, in order to add more incentive to populate ZE we will be having 2x Store Credits every day and 3x credits during map events! Hopefully this attracts more players as ZE has been having a very hard time lately, so if you've been lacking in credits now is your chance! Please remember, sitting in spectate does not grant any credits. You must be actively playing to gain anything. Besides this change, feel free to suggest anything in this thread or in the ZE section as I am actively looking to make improvements.

This, but I'm open to any further suggestions.

Sorry for the late reply here, I think it's great that you are following your passion. A lot of people put these things off thinking there will always be time for it later, but the truth is your life can change at any moment. One of my friends from high school has cancer now and he is the same age as me. He said that he now has to rethink his life, not knowing how much time he has left. For anyone reading this post it is the same, nothing in life is guaranteed. If you have something you always dreamed of doing then start working towards it today. It's unfortunate that you are leaving us @Paralyzed you did a great job, but what you are doing is important. I wish you best of luck in your future journeys.

Found it, not sure if it's by the same author as the suffix is different... We should test that before the event and make sure it's the better version. Also found these Star Wars models - http://andi67.bplaced.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=398 I will try to add the following models for the event: [ATTACH=CONFIG]17266[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]17265[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]17264[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]17263[/ATTACH]

If it's not too complicated to setup & still have the files on the server then most likely.

Let's celebrate the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi & populate ZE! The Event Attempt to beat: ze_deathstar_escape & then ze_StarWars! Extra store credits for those who show up! (and possibly Star Wars player models, maybe) When is this? Saturday December 16th 4PM EST Objectives Populate ZE! Learn the ways of the Force! Farm those store points! See you soon!

Thanks for the promotion guys, I'll do my best to make ZE great again. Seriously though, bringing ZE back to life will be a challenge and I'm open to discussing any ideas that might help. Feel free to message me on Steam about that or any other issues you feel I can help with. I believe in this community and hope I can make a meaningful contribution Also thanks to @Paralyzed and everyone that came before, all of you guys did a great job handling ZE.

Thanks for playing today everyone, make sure you play tomorrow as well!

But can we add lasers to death star?

This is my attempt at an optimized transparency plugin (the previous one was too laggy) https://github.com/AgentWesker/ZR_Transparency Details: Humans in close proximity will become transparent and Zombies stay fully opaque. Humans will only be checked when they send any kind of input, there are no timers in this plugin. There is an optimization delay of 0.5 second between checks (between opaque players) and 2 seconds (between transparent players). This places a priority on checking visible (opaque) players, while letting transparent players roam for some time before resetting them.

Last I remember of Bioshock it still doesn't feel polished as much as it could be, do we have the latest version? If we do end up playing that we would need a good leader as it's not intuitive at all. Personally I'd like to tryhard Serpentis (now that it's finally working) it's fairly difficult and we've never beat it legitimately yet. Just got to buff Medusa slightly as she dies in under minute.

Hopefully the Shrek stage doesn't break the map again, also finally a store!

Maybe this will help -

Agree with everything but http://www.andi67.bplaced.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=342 should be the default player model for Halloween

I think it would be nice if we had a week long Halloween event from say the 24th to 31st of October. Here are some of my ideas: All servers having exclusive "Halloween" player models unlocked for all players Grenades become pumpkins upon joining server / round sounds (?) or maybe just prop hunt with spooky maps on MG on the 31st Community wide forum event of some kind that gives you a forum badge (?) SG members stream spooky games on Twitch If you have any ideas of your own please list them here or let me know what you think

This plugin supposedly fixes players randomly getting "stuck" or stopping while moving on surf ramps. Suggest adding to ZE as well due to the few surf maps it has. https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=301075 *Using dhooks extension will also fix client side stopping effect

People usually take the easy path given a choice, why spend most of your time & hard work on a game that will make very small percentage of income, when they can just upload a community made weapon skin and make millions?

I've always been confused as to why ZE did not have a store like the other servers... It's been said that because of lag and or download times that it would not be worth the effort. The thing is we now have a "rank" plugin that seems to do the exact same thing. My problem with the current setup is that it seems to encourage some toxic behaviors and frankly elitism towards peoples ranks. I much preferred the system back in CS:S days where there was a store that counted playtime as currency and separate GameMe ranks for people who cared about such things. Now it feels forced on everyone to "rank up" instead of being an optional side objective. I know this is very controversial and a lot of players want to keep the current system in place. My suggestion is that we have both a store & rank rewards for both types of players (tryhards & casuals). We could separate the "rewards" as follows: Store / Cosmetics Skins Trails Grenade Models Ranks / Perks Advanced commands (leader for example) Competitive skins for top 15 / 25 / 50 ranked players (?) Access to molotovs (?) Chat sounds (example, typing "fall back" plays sound emitting from your character) Chat tags I understand this seems redundant with the current system, but I feel they rewards different types of play styles. You can "de-rank" but not lose points from the store, so one represents skill while the other represents total playtime on the server. Besides the above suggestions I also suggest changes to the existing system as follows: Store Points Only gathered through playtime Rank Perks No perks for playtime, only kills / damage / map wins Less & more difficult to achieve ranks

Well this is unexpected, you've done a lot of good work on the server & supporting the community. Thanks for everything you have done & I hope we still see you around.

They are pretty much balanced to only having one, them being overpowered as a one time strategic item. Having !he allows 120 nades total which is a bit much. I agree with all of @Bill Smauz points except grace period (Nades become less effective if used at the same time) & Negev trade-off because it was severely nerfed and no longer the best weapon. Class immunity would have to be handled very carefully else everyone would choose that class.

Minas just brings me tears because everyone is terrible at it...
