I'm still working on the zombie mod for CoD4. I've dived a bit into the files and I think i know a bit how the mods for CoD4 work.

So I just want to make scrips for CoD4 which allow me to play zombie. So I found out that 3 things need to happen to start with.

1. There has to be a black fog in the map that limits the sight of the player.

2. All players need to start in one team (hunters) except from one (he will start in the other team; zombies). When the player from the other team (zombies) kills someone in the first team (hunters), he will go zombie as well.

3. I need a script to disable ammo on the zombie team. Also guns that hunters dropped need to be empty.

Could someone plz help me with these scripts? That would be really awesome!

thx.

A lot of people are making zombie mods at the moment.

you could just make the zombies drop the weapon unless it's one in a list:

if(players[i] getcurrentweapon() != "ak47_" || players[i] getcurrentweapon() != "somethingelse_mp") players[i] dropitem(players[i] getcurrentweapon());

and set the max health of the zombies higher than the hunters in the globallogic gsc:

	if(self.pers["team"] == "allies") self.maxhealth = 100;
	if(self.pers["team"] == "axis") self.maxhealth = 400;

I just wanted the health to be the same as a hunter's health. This is more realistic imo.

And that drop weapon script is really awesome. Do I just put that into a .GSC and put that into /mods?

actually you'd make a new folder in ur mods folder and put the script/IWD in there.

You mean i copy that script into a 'randomname'.gsc which i put in Mods/'random mapname'.

Then open up CoD4 and run a new server?

If u mean that it isn't working... :( Please help.

1. open the mods folder
2. create a new folder named 'mymod'
3. place your script inside this new folder
4. open up CoD4
5. click on mods and select your mod.
6. start a new server

this is just my theory but it should work. I'm gonna try it right now.

If that doesn't work: http://www.modsonline.com/Forums-top-68089.html?msgrd=2500 tells you somewhere

If I open up Mods in CoD4 and select 'mymod' and then do 'Launch' I get the 'Direct X inrecoverable error' or something.

Someone any suggestions?

If thats the same error as mine disable xfire ingame for cod4 (done in the options and untick the box for cod4)
I asked the same question in the nightassult mod thread so you can check that

thx m8 that works. Now i got the mod running, i can't select perks anymore. But it still doesn't drop a weapon... Anybody knows what's going wrong?
