I've tried the engineer / Wise perk a number of times, and have been able to rack up a decent, though not overpowering, attack bonus. It was relatively easy to do so, however, when compared with bonuses for other perks. Thus, I'll probably reduce the attack bonus from a sentry from 3% to either 2% or 1%. Nothing drastic for now.

Not sure. If I can push through the last set of changes required, I can probably have it done within a week's time. That being said, I agree with your assessment of the map in the previous thread. It was intentionally designed to support roaming, camping, and hiding styles. I intend to keep it this way with the update, too (though some of the camping areas have been better balanced).

Thanks, I hope you have a lot of fun with it! Let me know how well it was received, and if anything seems overpowered.

I'm going to keep the solution simple for now (see above), but introducing player count-scaled bonuses might be worth investigating for servers with lower player caps.

The website listed in the OP (www.zombiefortress.co.uk), has a tutorial on the message boards. For now, there are no special entities required, and the only real thing you have to do is to kill the survivors' respawn room after setup ends. For the time being, you should be able to make a lot of progress on the map, and finalize the ZF-related entities later.

in your opinion, which are the best zombie fortress maps?
I just need a couple of good maps to add to my fun box server, don't have much time trying them all

My sourcemod logs are being spammed with the following:

My favorite maps are those that give survivors an option of hiding, fleeing, or defending in distinct groups. Thus, I enjoy zf_lake, zf_asylum, zf_industry, and even zf_fortress. There are many maps available just for ZF, though, at the GFL website.

Yikes, sorry about this. I know what's going on here - fxSparksOnClient should be fxSparksOnEntity. I'll push a patch tonight when I get home!

[clutchh]

Thanks! Hopefully before the engineer update comes out.

I am currently running Zombie Fortress Vanilla on my server and it seems to be crashing anywhere from 30 min to 2 hours from start up. There are no errors showing up in the sourcemod logs and there are no other mods installed on the server.

If anyone has any ideas please message me on steam or x-fire I really need your help to make this a successful server.

My server has been crashing aswell since updating it today. I don't think it's related to the error I posted before though.

Well, I wasn't expecting the Engineer update today!

Currently, there are some problems with ZF and the engineer update. I'll update the main thread for now until I get a fix in.

[clutchh]

Hehe I was just kidding. Can't wait for the fix.

[dirtyminuth]

Update released (both Vanilla and Perks).

This update addresses engineer update incompatibilities, the crash previously posted, and a small amount of tweaks for perks (see perk changelog).

I still don't have any of the new engineer weapons, so I can't yet address all possible issues. Let me know if anything crops up!
