ZOMBIES ++ MOD
Developer: @ItsCahz
Link: https://github.com/Paintball/BO2-GSC-Releases/tree/master/Zombies Mods/Zombies%2B%2B/v1.2
Hello guys, I'm bringing you guys my variation of Zombies that I've been working on for a bit. Basically this is supposed to enhance the vanilla BO2 zombies and make it better. There's so many things that I need to cover.README
All of the important functions can be toggled on and off inside of the dedicated_zm.cfg file or by utilizingset <dvarName> <value>. Almost no need to go and edit the GSC.TOGGLE-ABLE FEATURES
- Zombie Counter on screen
- Custom Powerup drops
- Extra Perk Machines
CUSTOM POWERUPS
- Money Drop (Random amount of money)
- Pack-A-Punch (Upgrade the current weapon of player) (this is super OP)
- Unlimited Ammo (Probably the best one. Credit @_Ox)
- Fast Feet (Super sonic speed)
EXTRA PERK MACHINES
- PHD Flopper (Nuketown, Tranzit, Buried, MOTD, Die Rise) (NO SPLASH DMG AND NO FALL DMG)
- Stamin-Up (Nuketown)
- Mule Kick (Nuketown, Tranzit)
- Deadshot Daiquiri (Nuketown, Tranzit, Buried)
Note: I cannot use the models of things that are not on the map already. Luckily maps like MOTD and Die Rise have assets I could use for PHD Flopper. But other custom perk machines will be using the Quick Revive model, Juggernog model, Speedcola model, and the Doubletap model. This also goes for the custom perk icons on the hud. Had to use already on the map icons.
OTHER FEATURES
-
Force Spawn players on Round 1 (No more having friends spectating until Round 2)
-
Game Length gets displayed at the end of the game (hours and minutes)
Some Pictures
I wanted the perk machine locations to be in spots that would not normally be used, so exploring the entire map should result in finding them.
My favorite perk and perk machine!
All perks for Die Rise. (PHD Flopper, Deadshot, and Staminup)
Nuketown All extra Perks (PHD Flopper, Deadshot, Staminup, and Mule Kick)
MOTD PHD Flopper Machine!
Nuketown Mule Kick
BURIED PHD FLOPPER (back of witches house. have to go tunnel way instead of fountain)
I don't think there's much else to say here other than have funVersion 1.2
should be more stable. Won't know until server owners test it.Cahz pls help! I really wanted to try this mod on motd but when i drag the maps folder (with win rar) to data folder and i start a game there's always error and plutonium closes automatically

I have updated the mod as parts of it broke with the recent plutonium updates. Please check the new version on github to see if it works now

I'm using the pre-compiled v1.3, without editing anything.
So far on all maps I have seen PhD flopper which works great and as expected and I'm loving the zombie counter!However, which maps have the custom powerups and how many of them are pre-enabled to spawn in? (as aforementioned not edited anything, just using as pre-compiled)
On Die Rise, the Perk Bottle spawned in (shown in screenshot) which works great as perk list shows, but the other powerups e.g. fast feet, random money, unlimited ammo did not spawn.
On Mob of the Dead and Town, nothing appearedAre the custom powerups on a toggle before hand basis? But if that were the case then the perk bottle should not have spawned
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for this awesome script!!

If things are not working as intended, I would highly recommend waiting to use the mod until the next Plutonium update which should HOPEFULLY fix the issue with loading scripts on Version 1.2 (which is inherently more stable and doesnt have bugs like you are explaining)
TLDR; Plutonium devs broke loading some mods, and it would be best to wait for their update to fix it and then use version 1.2.
