ET:Zombies - OVER :(

Hi, this is such a sad topic, but it's a needed one.

Since work & family commitments Nitrox nor myself can work on ET:Zombies any more.

Nitrox* has gone to France for 6 months, which has left me alone to do the coding. Since I have little free time or motivation in my free time to finish I am releasing the source for everyone to use.

The mod would be complete with a decent coder within less than a month. I'll release all files including the sounds, textures, models & maps to whoever wants to carry on.

Sorry to all of you who were excited about this project, it is indeed playable but not to a state where it's enjoyable.

If you feel that you'd like to continue with this project, feel free to inbox me on here and I'll link you to the SVN for the changelog & code.

All files will be hosted on my server for 1 month from today, if there's no interest by then, I'll move it to an external host & if they're gone, they're gone.

Sorry to bring such sad news to the community now, but family & work comes first.

THIS IS FROM ETMAIN, AND COMPILES ON WIN, LINUX & MAC WITHOUT ERRORS.


Since I haven't touched the code in a little while, all I can remember was the last commit was:

Medic icons through wall (for revives)
Remote detonation of mines & for defence
Landmine admin settings
Fixed the brand new realistic camera movement (prone, crouch & sprinting).
The new sprinting system (similar to CoD) is there, just needs a rework.
Server global messages
Fixed the leaning & firing the rifle grenade would result in the origin being @ non-lean anim.
Moved sprite hover down for prone players (when a player prones the objective icon moves down now), which is not fixed in ETPRO, but it is here.
Sticky grenades work but need a bit more code (players move grenade doesn't stick).
Dynamite now has bounding box
New weapons for all classes & expansion of others.


What next?
Inbox me on here or IRC #zombiemod.et - DanjeETZ @Quakenet

The website is NOT up-to-date, so please do not see this as the latest version. We've added quite a few bits & changes since then.

If you're serious about taking this on, message me.

Good luck to whoever takes it on.

I'll post this @ Splash Damage also.

I expect someone will take it on.
Also just a side note. We (or should I say I) will be releasing most of the useful code inside the ET:Z SDK for others to start their own project.

We'll include downloads of everything to get started.

Once again, when I have time I shall try this.

Sad to hear as I was quite looking forward to this, is it not an option to stall it for a few months and maybe continue when Nitrox gets back from France?
Of course, I'll save backups of the files for this!

I'm not saying I won't return in a week if work dies down or something, but for now I have no time for it :(.

It's sad indeed, and it's still here for anyone to continue.

But until then, whoever wants it, feel free.

/q ethr
ethr was already a part of the team, he hasn't been on in some time.

I've tried speaking to him on Facebook but of no luck :P.

Hopefully somebody will continue ur and ur friends work. Too bad tho, was expecting to play this :( But rl > *
I feel sad for you, was waiting for you to finish it, hopefully some1 will pick it up!
you shouldn't really 'drop' the project. just postpone it until it seems possible for you to continue. I'd happily play this in 2013/2014 if that's how long I had to wait.
Post everything you can on github
I will if I don't find someone to take it on. I don't want to release it to the public without 'trying' to find someone to take it on.

There is no reason to keep the source something private. Release it on github, add it to your CV and contribute to it when you can.
Parent
yeh i might a github and start accepting pull requests from people

I don't have much time to contribute either and the summer is party time anyway :p but i'll see what i can do
Parent
Sure, feel free to do whatever you feels needed.
Parent
i don't mind managing the github account and accepting pull requests from people -- we don't have anything copyrighted so it should be ok
Parent
Added 1 more revision, this will most likely be my last for now :(.

The project is almost there, if you want to carry on feel free man, it's a shame to see it go to waste after all of this was put together.

Everything is available on the Dropbox & SVN, plus servers are available to use.

I'm sure you can finish it within a month tbh, only requires finishing most of the code that's been left off.

Then it's just a matter of making custom game modes (like LMS script) for the game.
Parent
its just finding time to do all these things :p
Parent
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Now I will cry whole night... I was so looking forward to play it :<
Well good luck with your work, hope some day you'll come back and finnish it :)
sad to hear :(
omg fuck you , you sad you would finish it.
all et projects fail and only one this one i had hope.
Family first :(
