Description
Zombie Plague is a Counter-Strike server modification, developed as an AMX Mod X plugin, which turns the game into a Humans vs Zombies struggle. It is based on the original infection mod, but it takes the concept to a new level by introducing:
- New Gameplay Modes: Nemesis, Survivor, Multi Infection, Swarm, Plague
- Zombie Classes System: allows addding unlimited custom zombie classes
- Ammo Packs: awarded to skilled players, can be used to purchase goods
- Extra Items System: allows adding unlimited custom items to buy
- Custom Grenades: Fire, Frost, Flare, and Infection Bomb
- Deathmatch Mode: players may respawn as zombies, humans, or randomly
- Admin commands: can be performed through an easy ingame menu
- Special GFX Effects: from the HL Engine
- Customizable Models and Sounds
It brings many customization through CVARS as well:
- Change nightvision/flashlight colors and size
- Adjust in-game light level (lightnings available for the dark settings)
- Set zombies/humans health, speed, gravity, ammo pack rewards, and more
- Enable unlimited ammo or knockback for weapons
- Enable random spawning (CSDM-spawns friendly)
- Separately enable and customize the new gameplay modes to your liking
History
This project started back on December 2007, when the free infection mods around were quite buggy. I wanted to make one on my own, but with little to no experience at AMXX scripting, I had to start from the very scratch.
Not after spending over a week looking at many plugins (mainly Zombie Swarm) and scarce tutorials, I somehow managed to have all the basic stuff working quite well (even though the code was really messy). The following months were spent polishing things up and trying to fulfill new original ideas, most of them quite worth the hard work.
In the meantime, I had the chance to try the plugin out on a 32 man server. This meant a huge progress on development, and after lots of testing and bug fixing, the mod turned out to be more than the simple infection plugin I had originally planned it to be.
The project has come a long way since, and I'm glad to say I'm finally making it freely available. All I'm asking in return is to keep my name in the plugin.
-Enjoy!
