Since I'm one of the people developing this mod, I thought it might be a good decision to post a simple topic that I can check. Basically, just post features that you think would be cool. I want only things that only relate to the mod as an engine (nothing about game modes and such, since those are not part of the engine). I'm hoping that this will also not become flooded and clustered, but I'll do my best to read every message.

Some things that are being implemented (and I'll edit this periodically if they are mentioned).

- dynamic class system (very flexible and powerful tool that allows many interesting manipulations). - dynamic guns system - variable communication system through separate (sort of like pev, set_pev) - chat commands system to easily add commands and register them into ZP - log system that encompasses the entire mod - thorough documentation on source code

When I say engine, I mean things that belong to ZP that could be included into other zombie mods. In fact, one of our project goals with the engine is to make any zombie mod (made/unmade) creatable with our API. So, think of this as some cool features that would need to be added into the API also.

Edit: I plan on opening an early beta server for this mod soon as it is playable, so you can all see it and tell me what you think might be useful addons in the base mod.

Added Features:

- check if model exist before precaching it, so if user install's zp and forget to place models, or insert some class without model, it will just stop plugin, it won't crash server

also for classes if model doesn't exist, it may use default model ( zombe_source )

Sorry for my bad english

- Restriction for number of choosen classes setable in zp_zombieclasses.ini ex. Amount = 3 and only 3 persons will can use it. (PM'ed to MeRcyLeZZ already)
- Modelindex offset
- Save ammopacks for 1 map
- /giveap option -> /giveap "nick" <value 1-all>
- Changeable mode of grenades HE/Napalm, FB/Frost, SM/Flare by pressing MOUSE2

That's all in this moment

Hmm, this one seems useful.

All of these suggestions can be done through sub-plugins, no need to integrate them in the main engine.

I like the precaching idea, but you would have to use a different native to precache, like zp_core_precache_model. It would definitely be a slower function compared to the original, but better support for errors.
