Zombie Master: Reborn

Zombie Master was an old multiplayer HL2 mod that mixed first person shooting with RTS gameplay, with one player controlling the Zombie Master and making use of traps and zombies to kill the survivors, and it has been made playable again, the mod has been rebuilt on the 2013 version of Source along with bug fixes and some other stuff. Let's play some.

You can get the mod from ModDB and all you need is the Source SDK Base from 2013.

I thought this game was dead, but I guess not.

Playing some Zombie Master with Holla Forums would be so great

...

Is that you, Violent?

No, I just really like Zombie Master.

This brings back some nostalgia, hopefully I can get some games in before it inevitably slips back into the grave

Ah. I was good friends with Violent until he became a shut-in and basically dropped ZM2 development.

That aside, I'd be fine with a few rounds of it as long as there is a server up and running. Playing some of Banshee's maps would be very refreshing right about now.

There's one server up and that's from the people developing it.

I used to play the original mod alot but stopped playing after my favorite server went down because it was the only server that didn't have that terrible "roll the dice" plugin that was so popular at the time.

Would be nice to run into some of those fags again.

It seems dead right now. Would it be best if we setup a date for this?

Call me back when you don't need steam to play it.

Some good memories with this game

I don't think it matters as long as we get some people in. The developers just put the page up on ModDB so it might be easier tomorrow.

I never really got in to this mod, but I could join now if we get at least a few people in. Just don't bully me too much because i don't know anything about this really.

I'll pop in a few minutes and hope that the timid players follow suit

Aight, downloading now.

It's easy to get into, you can choose who you play as so you don't need to play as the zombie master and instead stick to survivor until you figure out the kinks of the game.

About 3 mins to go on Source SDK.

That's a name I'm glad to see.
One of the best source mods I've played, a shame it died in the first place.

Don't forget that once you extract the game to your sourcemod folders you need to restart Steam.

Tragedy struck. As soon as I loaded up the server, it gave me an eternal 'Sending Client Info' and when I tried to rejoin, the server didn't show up in the browser

Tried restarting Steam? I had problems launching it until I did it after downloading SDK 2013.

That doesn't seem to be the problem. I can launch the game, but not the server. Note that I've had ZM2 downloaded and in my steam library for a long time now.

I've got no idea, you've tried connecting through the IP?

173.71.141.10:27018

Yeah, that doesn't seem to work either.

I don't know then, I think I remember having a problem like that with No More Room In Hell back in the day, searching up the exact problem gave me a fix with involved deleting a specific file. Removing ZM2 might work also.

There's couple of us here, join up fags.

ZOMBIE MASTER REVIVAL

Get in here lads.

There's multiplayer, singleplayer, and dedicated server. Do I just need the multiplayer SDK thing?

I don't know what's wrong. The only server coming up is named 'Renamon's server' and the IP for that differs from the one you gave me.

Typing in 'connect 173.71.141.10:27018' gives me an authentication error

I think so, that is what I downloaded.

nvm im a fucktard. I thought we were playing ZM2. My brain just read ZM and filled in the blanks.

Hey sorry man, one last question. How do I install this shit?

What else is going to make a comeback?

Download this: moddb.com/mods/zombie-master-reborn/downloads/zombie-master-reborn-alpha-1-windows
Put it in the steam's steammods folder.
Download Source SDK multiplayer 2013.
Restart steam.

Thanks OP, I miss shit like this

Cool, downloading.

9 players atm, get in here lads.

Installin'

Prepare for a micspam storm, kiddo.

OH FUCK I LOVED THIS GAME I JUST JOINED THE SERVER

I WANNA BE A HULKAMANIAC

Where is the steammods folder?

In system 32

So I just did this. I'm on my phone and uh. My computer blue screened and now it won't reboot without blue screening. What do I do?

That ear rape is on point.

Fug. Loved me some ZM and Zombie Panic. Also Brain Bread which was an old gldsrc mod.

You can make any sourcemod non-steam, the server owner just has to know how. /radcorp/ worked it out so ask them.

sourcemods

...

Yeah I don't have that folder either. I tried creating it in steamapps, and it didn't work. Tried changing its name to steammods and it still didn't work.

Put it in a folder called sourcemods. The sourcemods folder should be inside the steamapps folder

Oh swet jesus, I loved this game when I was a kid even though it wasn't very well made. This could be a lot of fun again.

...

It's been like 10 years, man.
If you were 8 back then, you'd be 18 now.

way to make me feel old, man

Nigga I said I tried that. Sourcemods folder didn't exist so I had to make it. Not working. I also tried sourcemods > steammods > zm, in case that's what you meant.

I'm an idiot, help.

You need to restart steam so it shows up. And you need the source SDK 2013 multiplayer thingie.

I've restarted Steam every time I tried putting the folder in a different place aaaaaaaa

Having your "zombie_master_reborn" folder be extracted to the "[steam]/steamapps/sourcemods" directory of a(n active) Steam library should be all that you need for the game to appear under games as "Zombie Master: Reborn" in Steam.

I remember there was some buzz over a guy doing Resident Evil maps and the ambitious plans to make it into some RPG revamp where you roleplay as the characters. And now it's all dead or memory holed.

I hopernone of you chuckle fucks decided it'd be funny to try and use a melon for the generator for old times sake.

There was Resident Evil: Cold Blood, which was a Half-Life 1 mod by (some of?) the developers of Afraid of Monsters and Cry of Fear, if you're just thinking of that.

I'm fucking 26 bud

No, it was never completed and was an attempt to branch Zombie Master specifically.

Guess I'll never play. ;-;

World in Conflict

get in niggers

bump

Random was awesome. Tetris was meh. The toilet map was cool and all those creative mini-game style maps were the bomb.
I miss Nachos and Melons….

You need to restart your Steam client for the mod to show up on your list.

Holy fuck I remember that, so many good memories and laughs, people would never get through though if I was ZM

Fuck yes, hopping in as soon as possible. This shit used to be my jam back in the day.


!rtd and upgrades were the cancer that killed ZM

Someone set up a nosteam server, not sure if it was anyone from this thread though.

im here

Join up you faggots, servers is dead as fuck at the moment

pls join

on my way now lad

We got some people playing, come on goyim.

4 on the dev server right now, join faggots

rib serb

Server is back up, come on.

...

We're still playing.

Joining

dead server

rest in piss zombie master reborn

This looks cool, are you guys playing tonight?

Probably, people flock in at random times, I'm on right now waiting for more people to join in.

Picking up a pizza and joining in 20ish min. Keep it alive ya fags

We've got some people on, c'mon you hogs.

Good game, thanks all here is link to what I streamed of my session
www. youtube. com/watch?v=3Mik9RlloM8

Neat

Serb has plenty of people right now

boy, you guys have either poor timing or dont pay attention.
we (and by "we" i mean the lads at >>>/radcorp/ ) hosted eternal silence last gamenight which was another forgotten/dead sourcemod, a couple gamenights before that was dystopia (which was so much fun and so popular a dev popped into our server for an impromptu Q&A and talked about dystopia 2). Sourcemods are fairly popular for gamenights so feel free to post details such as playerlimits, filesize, if its easy to set up, if there's anything extra, etc and links about this mod or others over at our board (which we use for mostly archive and schedule purposes, main gamenight discussions are held here on Holla Forums)

Hmm?

Other user from /radcorp/, there's nothing wrong with faggots running whatever they want at the same time as us it just makes it harder to all play at once. Also I kinda wanted to play ZM since I loved it and I really need to play PR instead.

Ehh it's a nice contrast this week as Project Reality is basically No Fun Allowed: The Game in comparison to something like this or Joint Ops.
Besides it's not like anons host other shit during game nights it's just that they mostly fly under the radar

I'd agree, also /radcorp/ can't do ZM since it doesn't really support more than ~16 people and even that is pushing it. If you lot are still going on Monday I'm going to drop in myself.

exactly. dont want to overshadow other gamethreads just because we tend to host every 2 weekends and get stickied. better to be fair

there's always the option to host it on an offweekend, the turnout is smaller and might make it easier to manage

Well yeh, I just don't want anons to feel like other games get fucked as a result.
I think ZM is doing fine as it is now.

its trash

I dunno, I played HL2 deathmatch a few times and it's decently fun.

I hope there are still some playing once I get the SDK downloaded. I am adequately prepared for banshee spam.

I remember that map causing a lot of buttache.

We're here.

My favorite moment in zombie master was on the tornado gas station map. I managed to spend half the match sneaking one of the "explodes into flame and screams" zombies into the elevator despite the fact pathing made it nearly impossible. When they finally repaired the elevator and called it down it ignited 3 people and afterwards they were telling me how the jump scare of the scream out of the elevator fucked them up.

I'm still not sure if that was a catfish or just some really lowlife attention whore from halfchan.

it was a guy im 100% sure
he will steal your shekels

That shit was fun, I'll be around later tomorrow if any of you guys want to play again. Add me on steam or something.

/id/atouterheaven/

Hey I remember this!
I remember it being FUCKING SHIT.
actaully that was zombie panic cause I sucked at it

Banshee would be proud

Who /eternal2007/ here?

...

Friendly reminder that (((Billy Rising))) has named himself the new king of Zombie Master and has his own discord.

...

...

...

Who here is running that no Steam server? I've got the fixed versions of maps here if you want to put those on the map list.

Dev server is down but we're currently playing on a community server.

But it's back up faggot.

That's not the dev server, that's the GA server.

post them

Where do you want them uploaded to?

use filebox.moe or something

filebox.moe/lrzchjlt.rar

Someone should suggest to the devs to change the rifle ammo to make it easier to distinguish from the magnum. Also the revolver sounds are a bit off

Making a map 4u nigs.

Hoping to have multiple objectives the ZM can chose from and rain. Almost got the level design done.

Automatic classic.

Those absolutely terrible models and their derp faces always gave me a chuckle. Kind of took away from the tension.

Dev server is back up and we got some people playing.

Got any good hammer guides?

I saw tentacle porn for the first time from a spray in ZM, sweet!

Haha.

Ehh honostly I always learn't as I went along but this channel here is pretty good and would get you up to speed relatively fast.

Where are you Mr Clean?

Do it this way:

Is server kill?

Turns out bob is 12 and doesn't know the famous hacker known as 8gag.

Server's back up.

LETS GO NIGGERS! Time for some Monday Night Zombie Master!

Actually, nevermind. Someone let their little brother on and he's shitting up the server by not shutting up. Not to mention a ton of epic memers. The server is beyond saving now.

bob a cute

Lighten up pal.

You need to get your /2007/ on.

...

skeedie "six million more" bob

I had fun, I feel sorry for Bob though: Getting homeschooled is a bad idea. I don't want him to end up like us.

skeedie "long nose, in the oven it goes" bob

...

Map progress coming along nice, got it to run in ZM natively and got the rain working somewhat. Going to start working on gameplay soon.

If anyone has any suggestions for meme traps to put in I'd love to hear them.

fun as fuck like always

put a bean in it

...

Dropping big things on little people.

...

Have a pill-bottle somewhere with green and purple capsules spilling out of it. Or have a spot that has some "secret button" that just dumps you into a gas chamber.

looking /cyber/ as fuck my dude
schway as fuck

People on the server right now if you want to join

Oh fuck i remember that map

We're in 2007 right now.

jesus has come

this kid is pretty cool

...

hi everyone I used to play on a wonderful zombie master server back in 2008. It was ran by some guys from fighting amphibians. I won't be playing with you all, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could relive one of my own great memories.

garrysmods.org/download/14789/zm-winchesterzip

the map is based off of the movie Shaun of the Dead. I think there's a lot you'll appreciate about it. It had some fantastic scripting too.

Please enjoy yourselves on my behalf. I want my memories to live on for a crowd that has never experienced it. Thank you.

We play on that map all the time.

Reminder that skeediebob is the king of zombie master

Skeedie "The Black Death" Bob.

I find it funny I keep running into you guys even after all these years. That server really was something.

Skiddie confirmed to liked thicc androids

So Steam still has the old page on Steam Store. Other mods are now being hosted on Steam. Why isn't Steam hosting Zombie Master? Some of the store page functions don't even work like the community hub.

The mod never reached a stage to be released on steam, that page is probably just forgotten now.

dead game

you can thank the invasion of children for that

I blame 9gag.

*8gag

*4gag

Counter sage.

We got some people playing right now, fresh 2007.

Those were good days.

Also, skeediebob isn't around if that get that gets triggered by 12 year olds wanted to play.

Pasta night game night, come on.

How did I miss this thread?

I wish, just found out about this today myself.

i'm in one of 4 servers, never played, get in lads

I'll get on soon, just taking a break.

PANIC

It's been updated.

Im getting on now.

Update

Im in lets play faggots

I posted a link on the thread dude. C'mon man.

GET IN FAGGOTS

...

Dead game.
Also niggerball.

Saturday night, motherfuckers. We got some people on the server, let's get some more in.

dead thread

Anyone else surprised that no AAA developer tried jumping on this premise?

Left 4 Dead would have been improved immensely if the infected side was handled this way.

Because it's niche as FUCK

This game really deserves more love. There was zero players for like three days straight.

installing now

I've played for 5 days straight and got burned out, no other cocksucker has bothered to get on the server and try to get some players in.

But just because I like you faggots so much I'm on the server right now.

get on the dev server

We never talked about guitar hero, that's what we're missing from 2007.
