FAQ

Why did you create a new thread?

The code has been completely redone since Sirot went AWOL, and with the major addition of survivor and zombie perks, it's nearly a new mod. If admins have a problem with this, please let me know so we can work out a solution. This thread will focus on ZF Perks. However, it will also include development of ZF Vanilla.

What is Zombie Fortress?

Zombie Fortress (ZF) is a TF2 mod that pits two teams, survivors and zombies, against eachother. The survivor team (generally RED) consists of snipers, soldiers, demomen, medics, pyros and engineers. Survivors win if they either 1) Complete the map objective (dependent on map) or 2) Survive until the map timer runs out. When a survivor is killed, they join the zombie team. The zombie team (generally BLU) consists of scouts, heavies, and spies. Zombies win if they either 1) Complete the map objective (dependent on map) or 2) Kill all of the survivors. Zombies are melee-only with the exception of (Scout) Drinks, (Heavy) Food, (Spy) Invis Watch and Cloak & Dagger.

What is ZF Vanilla?

ZF Vanilla is the standard ZF that's been maintained and updated for almost a year. Think of it as the basic version of ZF. See below for more details.

What is ZF Perks?

ZF Perks is a completely new version of ZF that adds survivor and zombie perks. Think of it as a deluxe version of ZF. See second post for more details.

How do I play ZF?

It's easy, just find a server running ZF and join! No special downloads are required.

How do I install ZF on a server?

It's simple! If you want to install ZF Vanilla, download zombiefortress_vanilla.smx. If you want to install ZF Perks, download zombiefortress_perk.smx. Place the smx file in your sourcemod directory at tf\addons\sourcemod\plugins. Make sure there is only one zombiefortress smx file in this directory (otherwise you'll be running ZF on top of itself, which would have unexpected results). Restart the server and you should be good to go!
