Revolution-Designes Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) The infection has spread itself across the world and San Andreas is no exception. Explore the new and infected San Andreas and fight your way through hordes of zombies! The story is actually the same as Left 4 Dead, a virus has changed the majority of the world's population into mindless, brain eating zombies. Only a few people survive and are trying to find a safe place to stay and hide. In Left 4 Theft you will be playing as CJ who also tries to find a safe place to hide. The mod will actually give the player the ablity to make their own decisions. For example, will you choose to side with the ex-criminal bandit faction, or do you stay with army, the good guys? Following the free roam mode you can do whatever you want, help people out, give factions the chance to succeed their goal or survive on your own in the infected city. Gameplay is slightly based on Left 4 Dead, first of all there is the survival mode which will let the player survive as long as he/she can in a specific area. Next up is the free roaming mode which allows the player to free roam through San Andreas, do missions, join factions or simply survive on their own. A campaign mode was first planned but is now scrapped for the final version, maybe in a later update. The largest part of the mod is definitely the free roaming mode, or 'free mode'. This is actually the main part of the mod and will give the player a lot of things to do. In the free mode you can choose your own path, will you do missions, choose a faction or survive in the apocalypse? The choice is yours and each experience will be different. Missions In the free mode the player can do different sorts of missions, first of all there are the normal missions which will let the player help out a random person and receive some money and/or weapon afterwards. Next sort is the car mission. These missions will let the player help out a mechanic guy who will give the player a car afterwards. Cars are very usefull now they don't drive randomly around the city anymore. Last sort is the survivor mission. In these missions the player will help out an unique survivor, when the player completes the mission the survivor will be added to the list in the survivor system. Each city has one survivor mission. Survivor missions can only be played when the player is with the army faction. Survivor System This small feature will allow the player to call a survivor he rescued in a mission before and ask them to help him. The survivor will be added to the player's group and help the player fight off zombies or whatever he's fighting. As each city has one survivor mission the survivor count can get up to 3 in total. Faction System Left 4 Theft will allow the player to choose a side, the good army or the evil bandits. Beside those factions there also are the survivors and scavengers which are neutral factions and can be joined whether you are with the army or bandits. In the beginning of the game you will be automatically introduced to the army for the introduction to safe camps. After a small army mission you will be given the chance to join the bandits. If you join the bandits you can't do any army missions anymore, if you refuse the offer you'll stay with the army. The scavengers are farmers from the countryside and have safe camps in each countryvillage, like Dillimore. A survivor camp is located in Angel Pine. Safe Camps The free mode will feature safe camps where the player can stay safe from zombies, save their game and buy weapons. Faction missions are also started here. A safe camp consists out of army soldiers or bandits who will guard the camp. When you are with the army faction you will be able to use the army camps and when you're with the bandits, you can make use of the bandit camps. Being with one faction will make the other hostile, so when you come close to a camp of the opposite faction you will be attacked. Except for the scavengers and survivors, these factions are neutral and their camps can be used as soon as you discover one of their camps. A nice new feature is the fortress feature, as soon as you join the scavengers the player will be able to create their own safe camp. Check the video below for more info on this one! Time Travelling A remarkable feature in version 2.0 and onwards in time travelling. After the final mission of the Bandit and Army storyline you'll be given the ability to use one of the two time machines in San Andreas which will be presented with an icon on the map. When the player steps in the machine he will be sent back in time to a few days before the outbreak when it's all beginning. The player will be able to experience the original San Andreas atmosphere again with a few infection elements like the recently and empty safe camps. In later DLC/mission packs, various missions will be available in the past. A different game mode from the free mode is Survival. What would a zombie mod be without a survival game mode? The Survival game mode will offer some great fun. Some of the key features of Survival: - The goal is to survive as long as possible and defeat as many waves as you can. - Zombies get stronger every wave, each wave the zombie's health will increase. - A pistol with infinite ammo, a micro-uzi and a shotgun are available at the start. - After every five waves a health pickup along with ammo for the uzi and shotgun will spawn. - After every ten waves a special stronger weapon will be available. Think of the M4, flamethrower, sniper rifle and the combat shotgun. - Along with the basic weapons, a molotov cocktail is also available. Currently, Grove Street, Bayside and Mount Chilliad are available as Survival maps. Currently, we're at version 2.1 which has been released on June 22nd 2012. Beta 1.0b and version 2.0 were released before but are now, obviously, outdated. Right now I'm working on version 3.0 which will release this month, september.

GamerShotgun Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Pretty sure there's someone who already made a modification like that. Maybe to save time, you should ask him to give you permission on using his code in this mod. By the way, I could give a try at making proper zombie walking animations.

Revolution-Designes Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 @MasterK: The only other zombie mod for San Andreas I know is Biohazard Alert bu goin-god. But it's dead if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, it would be great if you could make a zombie walking animation, currently I'm using the walking styles of an old man and woman for every ped in the game. @Mr. Myriad: You mean an entire new model for zombies? That's gonna take alot of time to make all of that. Unless I could get them from somewhere. @fireguy109: I saw your PM, and replied. @bull.04: It would be great if you'd want to help me with the textures. I have sent you a PM. I'm about to start scripting the first campaign, there are still some things I need to change and fix with the survival mode but I definitely want to start with the campaign today. More help, tips or suggestions are always welcome!

How are you doing the zombie spawning in Grove and is it contained? IE can you leave the grove? I still have to do something for that. I'll probably make a check if you're still in the area (Grove Street), if not you'll get 10 seconds to return or else you'll die. This won't be too hard to make, else I'll find another way. There is only one problem about the campaign. I want to make a number of groups of zombies on the way through the campaign. The problem is: How am I gonna make that? I was thinking about spawning an amount of actors and let them walk around a point, but the only way to do that is by letting them walk a custom ped path. I don't know any code for that kind of thing. Any suggestions?

bull.04 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I think he means doing something like the director from Left 4 Dead.

Because SA has plenty of zones for different areas/parts of the city so wouldn't it make sense to just get a random number of peds in that zone?

It spawns zombies in random places at random times depending on how far/where the survivors are. It's way more complex in L4D. But it can be done. Indeed, it's very complex in L4D. The AI Director actually controls the amount of special infected and incoming attacks for the survivors. He does this by looking at the current state of the survivors and what they have already been through. Let me make this clear, when you play a campaign in Left 4 Theft you'll be on your way to the end, the goal. Ofcourse there have to be groups of zombies on the way to the goal. My problem is, I don't exactly know how I can make these groups of zombies the player will encounter. How do I make them spawn? I could ofcourse let some zombies (actors) spawn but they will be standing still and won't be walking around like real zombies. If I know a way how I could let the zombies/actors walk around a point without using ped paths, I can make some great progress.

Revolution-Designes Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 this is awesome but cant u make the zombies run faster or punch harder I could make them punch harder I guess and let them run faster by editing the run animation. I have been busy today with mapping. When you play the campaign the player must know where he has to go, like in Left 4 Dead this is one way with all sideways leading somewhere else closed. This is where I've been busy with today, simply blocking sideways with barricades and obstacles. If someone is interested in mapping and would like to help working on the mod, you can simply post a reply here or send me a pm.
