Zombie waves - ubiquitous mod

[anno1404]

What a great suprise! ubiquitous messaged me today

For those who don't know him ubiquitous is responsible for the time travel in the infinity mode, and much of the technical breakthroughs of the best mods here.

He has a great idea for a mod:

LOL I can't believe you guys are still around How's stuff been going? Just dropping by to see if anyone cracked debug mode for OTR yet?

If not well I have been out of the modding community for sometime but how would you like to undertake a project I had in mind before I left?

Essentially creating an actual mod

Type: Survival type mod (Waves of zombies)

Objective: Survive hordes of zombies (Time based waves). Upgrade base between waves with cash acquired through the waves and rewards.

Upgrades to base: Fences to limit zombie movement. Possibly traps for zombies? Been a while since I have played so not sure what possibilities there are.

Upgrades to player: Better weapons, Gear equipped with boost (I.e. Boots that give player speed, Shirt with better protection...etc).

The base can be centered around a pawn shop so we can re-use their system. Of course around 80% of this project is going to take place in the missions.txt file.

It certainly not an easy task to accomplish but as far as I recall it was a very possible mod with the knowledge I had back then.

Looking forward to hearing from you and glad you are still around.

Any way to make a poll so I can get an idea of what area or level people would find most suitable for base building? I'd like to get a general idea of what people would find fun so I can incorporate ideas into that place. Possibly something found in DR2 so I can easily make it on DR2 then transfer over to OTR with little effort

make another thread and create a poll in the thread in the first post.

It should be free roaming still. Allow players to set up shop at any one of the defense spots and have to defend it to earn points , level up and move to the next. Have multiple defense missions set up in the sand box like challenges... After you have conquered  a "defense challenge" you get called back to defend against gangs... which are survivors that have taken your area over and now you must assault.

Have this happen randomnly over time keeping the game fresh, new and dynamic as you do survival defense challenges. Sandbox games like this suffer from the lack of procedural generated missions and content. we can create a sense of conflict and never ending challenge by alternating between challenge states. Having defense missions randomly convert into assault challenges and trigger a timer on the next nearest defense challenge change will create a gang war type feeling that is unique.

While were at it might as well make the different groups that take the assault challenges from you different gangs, like the bad bitch mob be all hot girl characters, or the phycos gang be all bosses from the game etc. Have war challenges as well where if two different gangs that have take over completed challenges close to each other they trigger a war mission where you have to assault the challenge and fight both survivor gangs while they fight each other and zombies. 

I might be new to this blog but Im down to do whatever help necessary to make this dream come true. I am especially motivated by this because DEAD RISING 3 WILL ONLY BE FOR XBOX ONE. So we and only we have the ability to make the PC incarnation of this game live on. 


Viva La Mod Revolution!!!




Example from the Bad Bitch Mob Mod Im working on releasing soon.
