Hi Matt, thanks for the info! It's definitely coming time to add in some visual / aural features to ZF, now that gameplay changes are turning into a trickle.

Regarding zombie vision, I remember seeing it before - I'm assuming that the overlay used is custom, and would thus have to be downloaded by clients. Is forcing the client to download this file possible via an SM plugin?

yea, its quite easily done. Look out for the term overlay in the source of the code I referenced, I documented the code quite well.

The file was lifted from zombie panic source and you'll need to use the PrecacheFiles() function, also look for the 'Ambience' set of fucntions, they really add to the game feel too. Again its all in the source and the overlay & sound file is attached in that post

Some other points of interest:

Sets the Zombies FOV much wider than normal, gives that distorted feel:

SetEntData(client, offsFOV, 130, true);

Sets the FOV back to Normal

//EDIT: 2.1.1.2 -  FOV & Render: Using this to set FOV & render back to normal,90,0
		SetEntData(client, offsFOV, 90, true);

Makes the zombie blink

SetEntityRenderFx(client, 24);

And puts them back to normal:

SetEntityRenderFx(client, 0);

Makes the Zombie a lovely shade of Green:

SetEntityRenderColor(client, 0, 100, 0);

And back to normal again:

SetEntityRenderColor(client, 255, 255, 255, 255);

Note: For FOV you'll need to get the offset in OnPluginStart()

	offsFOV = FindSendPropInfo("CBasePlayer", "m_iDefaultFOV");
	if (offsFOV == -1)
	{
		SetFailState("Couldn't find \"m_iDefaultFOV\"!");
	}

Yes, I would likely give both the server and client the option of using it.

I haven't even started to plan things out yet, seeing as I'm on vacation right now.

Yeah, it just needs an sm_zf_enabled cvar and I'll be all over it. Please do this!

Well all you need to turn the plugin on or of on a normal server is to use the cvar
sm_zf_force_on "1"

set this to 0 in you your zf cfg file then enable it on your map cfg file ....

This works as i have been beta testing it over the last week on 2 different servers ...
