can mod like in video work for cod2...AI control zombies and etc.

Sure, it is possible to make that in CoD2 but don't ask me how to... ;)

For ROTU, the mod in that video, most of the work was already done for them, as they used the basic scripting framework from the Before the Dawn zombie mod. They just added simple TESTCLIENTS to the script origins, and basicly edited there animations. If you want this in cod2, you will have to ask the creator of the Before the Dawn mod.

Recreating BTD in cod2 is almost impossible, because the function setcandamage is not supported in MP (only in SP).

you need setcandamage to get the damage that you do when you shoot at him. If someone knows how to do this, then it would be possible to recreate it in cod2. (or get a modified version of cod2 mp with this function :))

no Mitch, ROTU mod, used testclients(); for the zombies, which can take damage etc.

Ok, meatbot got a zombie version.

But aren't these bots really bugged when you restart the map / start a new map?

I seem to re-call seeing a zombie mod which has hordes of computer controlled zombies attack you. cant remember if it was sp/mp, however, i never seemed to get it working, and its only for one player, not lots on a dedi server.

Could ask the author who made that to work on that

We haven't used Before The Dawn Mod - Reign Of The Undead uses some parts of code from PezBot, Bipo wrote zombie AI and classes and i made rest such as admin menu, turret and models so in 100% RotU isn't based and dont have anything to do with BTD.

Yeah, but Before the Dawn uses most of PezBot code also, I was just going higher up the hierarchy

It is easy to recreate setCanDamage() function in CoD2 with bulletTrace(), here is what i've used in CoD2 to do damageable entities:

setCanDamage( flag )
{
	if( !isDefined( self.bashradius ) )
		self.bashradius = 32;

	if( !flag )
	{
		self notify("kill_damagemonitor");
		return;
	}
	else
		self thread setCanDamage2();
}


setCanDamage2()
{
	self endon("kill_damagemonitor");

	trace = undefined;

	while( 1 )
	{

		players = getEntArray( "player", "classname" );
		for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
		{
			p = players[i];

			if( !isDefined( p.bash_delay ) )
				p.bash_delay = false;

			forward = vectorscale( anglesToForward(p getPlayerAngles()), 10000 );
			startOrigin = p getEye() + (0,0,20);
			endOrigin = startOrigin + forward;

			trace = bulletTrace( startOrigin, endOrigin, true, p );
			distance = distance ( self.origin, p.origin ) ;

			wait 0.05;

			if( isDefined( trace["entity"] ) && trace["entity"] == self )
			{
				if( p attackButtonPressed() && isWeapon( p getCurrentWeapon() ) && p getWeaponSlotClipAmmo(p getCurrentSlot()) > 0)
				{
					weap = p getCurrentWeapon();
					dmg = getDamage( weap );
					who = p;
					point = trace["position"];
					mod = damageMod( weap );

					self notify("dmg", dmg, who, weap, point, mod);
				}
				if ( p meleeButtonPressed() && !p.bash_delay && distance( p.origin, self.origin ) < self.bashradius )
				{
					p thread bash_delay( 0.6 );
					weap = p getCurrentWeapon();
					dmg = getDamage( weap );
					who = p;
					point = trace["position"];
					mod = "MOD_MELEE";

					self notify("dmg", dmg, who, weap, point, mod);
				}

			}

		}
		wait 0.05;
	}
}
