[Admins] new server/server change?

i was recently browsing for some new servers to play when i came across one titled "Zombie Hell". in it, instead of 10-20 zombies max, player controlled, there were over 30, continually respawning AI controlled zombies that were much easier killed (one good shotgun headshot usually did the trick, so around 200 hp (estimate)). the game progressed through "days", and the humans had to progress by killing a pre-set amount of zombies. from "outbreak" (kill 15) to "swarm" (kill 500), the humans progressed until they won.

so what i want to know is if spawnpoint can make this kind of thing, cuz that would be pretty much the only server i'd play on. ;) ^^

ONE IMPORTANT NOTE!!! is that humans, if overwhelmed by zombies, RESPAWNED AFTER 15 SECONDS!!!! also, the zombies only did about 15-20 damage at a time. this, if you decide to make the server, would be extremely important to cut down on player frusteration.

many thanks to any who consider this. thoughts?

I'm not the one who you should direct that question to.

Just for your information: -

"Admin" = on server rules enforcer who deals with server issues and upholds SpawnPoint's server rules.

"Staff" = Forum/web services/server set up...:thumbup:

Asking "admins" to get involved, strictly speaking, is incorrect :wink:

Hint taken ;)

It's something we can look into. I'd need to check to see if it was popular and as it's apparently no longer being developed if it would be compatible with our set up or if it has any security exploits.

We've got quite a few other server side things to take care of so it's not going to be high on the priority list. I'm sure you'll remind me if I appear to forget ;)

/sarcasm lol?

but anyway, im perfectly aware that a lowly poster's suggestion wont go over quickly, or frankly, well at first; ther will always be hackers, glitches, server problems, security issues, and much, much more that you STAFF will have to deal with before you even begin to consider making a costly new server that will have its own problems. like most of my threads recently, this is a suggestion, not a command.

thanks for the considerations, though. :smile

the security exploits I was thinking of were things that enable a hacker to gain full control of a server. GunGame 4 had this problem which was why we had to upgrade to gg5 and the hide and seek mod had similar problems.

Suggestions are always welcome, even from regular members and even if we don't actually implement them.

We never had a hide and seek mod, but a clan at SP did and it tended to get hacked. On server that means admin entries wiped, random people banned, server settings messed with, rcon passwords reset etc. Not something we want ;)
