Zombie questions

[j3rk]

I don't play Zombie much so I have a few questions about how it's supposed to be played out. This thread is dedicated to the discussion of the gametype.

1) Most games start with 1 Zombie and the rest non-Zombies, yes? Does it ever start with more than 1 Zombie? What are the general rules there?

2) Say a new Zombie game starts with 1 Zombie and 8 non-Zombies. What happens if the 1 Zombie dude gets killed? Is it game over? Who wins/loses in that case? I guess the question is what happens in general if the Zombie dudes all die and there are multiple non-Zombies left?

1) Yes. No. One zombie tries to turn others into zombies.

2) Zombies are undead....they can't die. No. Zombie keeps hunting. (g_siegerespawn 1)

One zombie to start. Humans are any class non-jedi.
Zombies can never lose due to death (as in, they just keep respawning.)

Contrary to some belief, falling, blowing yourself up, environmental death, SKing, etc all turn you into a zombie.

Needs to be exceptions for teammates sabotaging you, whether it's deliberate (piiipe mode) or not. Sick of piiipe constantly pistoling me from afar to give away my position, and blowing up my mines.

Probably not an easy way to code something like that, so just make the mod automatically ban piiipe's IP upon zombie mode.

The only time I have seen more then one zombie is when everyone cept for me and aries had been zombied and map ended and me aries decided to both be zombies so we changed it like from the first 2 objs to the entire map (God, that was hard) it was fun but since we used the whole map of Theed it was bit tedious.

Whoa dudes... Need some clarification...

1) The zombie(s) _can't_ die (meaning infinite health)? Or they can die, but they respawn instantly/infinitely?
2) Is everyone in agreement that all non-zombie team deaths (regardless if killed by a zombie or other means) zombify you? Or... should it be that in Zombie mode, sk is disabled, falling dmg is disabled and a zombie map shouldn't have death pits? (That would be much easier to code/map instead of conditionally trying to make sure only non-malicious deaths count.)

1. Zombies can die but they automatically respawn. I think the spawn timer is set to like 1 or 0 not sure. Yes they respawn infinitely.

2. Yes. Sometimes you have to clarify that if you die for any reason you become a zombie. Sk could be disabled but I don't think it really matters since if you die you are a zombie and if zombies sk u just respawn immediately. I don't think falling dmg should be disabled because if you are trying to get to cool a spot and you die well. sucks for you! Death pits I think would be a cool addition. Maybe have some thing breakable or hackable that triggers the death pit. Sounds like a cool idea.
