I mean, who wouldn't play? D:
A Co-operative Survival gamemode, where you had to look for safe places, and people would be able to play as zombies or as humans, or there would be zombie mobs spawning, and you could look for ammo, guns and supplies, anything that would help you survive.
Coming to think of it, we could use an "apocalypse" version of evocity v33x as map. That map would be great, its big and shit.
-
I was with you on OCRP when this was suggested, and I think it's a great idea. Even better on evocity. We could re-purpose certain places for new use, like barricading up KFC or other places.

Exactly my point.
With NPC zombies, it kinda ruins the RP because they can't /me, they will just attack you.
-
It could be SERIOUS. The enviroment and the situation are great for a Serious RP gamemode. And players could be infected not jut by bites and scratches and all that, (also they should be able to get infected when they wanted to, like you RPing you fell over a dead zombie body and some blood got onto your face. A drop, into your eye. You're infected, and will begin to turn in a few hours/days.. etc. AND there should be something like a virus anti-body that people could inject themselves with, to slow down its action. It would give another purpose for the survival groups to go search for this medicine to keep their infected sane.
-
Would be fun for a week, then boring.
And we don't have the playerbase to start something thats really good, and the playerbase will just bring the RP down and run around, killing zombies.
-
Like I said in the thread "More servers" this is a great idea. I still think it would need a little work though.
Would we have only basic infected or different mutations? How did the infection start? Where did the infection start? What year did it start?
Needs some backstory to get my really interested.
-
I don't think it should be RP, lets just have a zombie gamemode that lets you kill zombies. 1 player starts as a zombie and it spreads. That's fun.

Great idea, but to improve roleplay there should also be needs, like thirsty and hunger, so that once the food of a location like KFC is over you need to go look somewhere else, there should be a way you're infected through wounds, like, you got a wound in your arm, you have to look for a bandage or something to prevent you from being infected through it, weapon ammo should be scarce and zombies should not die so easily, like, 3 to 4 shots to the chest, a shot to the leg can slow the faster zombies(there should be 2 or 3 types of zombies) down and 1 to 2 shots to the head should kill, there should be improvised weapons like a baseball bat with spikes and shit, and once you die you lose all your previous status, like weapons and maybe skills if implemented into the server and other stuff, looting dead player corpses should be possible, so once you die your friend or else can take your stuff(will influence people into killing each other thou).
Skills should be all available to all players and should be improved as you work them out, like, the more you shoot your guns, the better precision and less recoil you have, but not to let them get to a point where there is no recoil thou

That would pretty mush be a non match based Zombie Panic

But that's the point! We need Serious RP servers to atract serious rp players. They won't come because of OCRP or HRP. Maybe because of HL2RP.
If you are to do it with your mind already set in failure, it will fail. There won't be a perfect RP gamemode that will pass through your mind and that will change the whole CG community, and be the most played at first. You gotta start from something.
Imagine this situation: A new, non-rping, player joins the server, just to kill zombies. He'd start with nothing. If he faces a zombie bare handed, he'd die.That's what happens to most people. He would either leave, or have to look for weapons and ammo (which would be scarce) and would probably find other players, RPing, and would get involved in this.
How many of you have never wished you were in a zombie apocalypse? Everyone loves it. Some people even wait for it. The work is half done for you. A serious RP server where players could immerge into that chaos and struggle for their lives would be an awesome attractive for new players. And good RPing players with them.
Don't turn down ideas like this one just because GMR2 died, already.

I think there should be infection levels, like, the more you kill and consume people, the more advenced your infection stage will be, but if you die your stage resets to the starting level
About the story, i would suggest an virus outbreak, a chemical explosion or something, but that is too much cliche, but i'll try ;P
"About 2 years ago, the government was trying to create a cure for cancer, a cure based in a virus that would live in your body, like an anti-cancer virus, that would consume cancer cells and spread around the body to prevent it from having cancer ever again. They managed to get to such cure, they named it ZRP. At first, everything seemed to be going just fine, people no longer were showing to have cancer cells in theyr bodies. Evocity was getting a lot of money from the whole world by selling this cure, but they didn't think there would be any bad side-effects as the time was passing. 5 months later, people were starting to show very strange symptoms, and no-one ever imagined that the cure was the responsible for all this. They didn't predict that it would eventually consume the whole host body and take complete control of it. The virus needed to feed itself another cells, so it made the host seek for clean blood, and meat to keep theyr host from loosing it's strenght. And the worst part is, once this advanced stage enter in contact with another body, it quickly spreads through it's body by consuming the the other ZRP cells and turning them into the same stage cells. So it quickly became viral, as it would easily infect another body through wound and contact to eyes or mouth. The bites from infected were pretty much a death sentence, as it takes 10 to 15 minutes to completely turn the new host into a zombie like being that is thirsty for new blood and meat. As the infected consumed others, they grew stronger, but they were still human bodies and needed theyr organs to work, so it was not so hard to put those creatures down. The military forces decided the only way to destroy this menace was to sacrifice the lifes of hundreads of people, so they did they needed to do in order to save the human race, they threw a small scale nuclear bomb in the main source of the infection: Evocity. Luckly some people managed to survive the explosion by hiding in the subway lines that were not affected by the explosions. The infection was not stoped, but the bombs reduced considerably the amount of infected. The remaining people manage to survive with whatever they find, waiting for a military extraction that would never come..."
Ok my creativity ended at this point, enhance the story if you like to and give some ideas too. I think it looks kinda cool :D
-
Wouldn't a nuclear bomb kill everyone with radiation?
-
It would get boring after a week, I would reccomend a zombie survival server instead, one that does not have any RP involved.
-
Wouldn't a nuclear bomb kill everyone with radiation?
Ok let's put a napalm bomb instead of a nuclear one :P
-
Wouldn't a nuclear bomb kill everyone with radiation?
Imagine it like a larger Chernobyl, we can go to Chernobyl, we can visit it, but we can't really live anywhere close in Pripyat, but it's safe to visit, that's what a larger nuclear explosion would PROBABLY be like, just less safe, and lasts a lot longer
-
I think it would be fun. I'm Not to sure how I feel about using an evo city map, but I haven't seen an apocalyptic map for x33 so maybe I can be convinced otherwise.
I think npc zombies would be okay. Have a somewhat lighter Rp tone for the server but a lot more then ocrp.
I would defiantly put dedication into Administrating and playing on it if we had one.
-
A Zombie Apocalypse Rp Server would be epic, you cant find to many of those these days.
-
I think you guys should play it on gm_atomic (http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=52608)
Just sayin'
-
rp/gm_apocalypse is a lot nicer than atomic
-
i really like this idea for a Zombie rp server it would take a bit to make but at least a Lite or semi serous sever would be good
-
Definitely, +support

Lemme give a storyline a try. After that, I will give out my opinions on this topic.
"The dreadful, desolate wasteland that was ruined by a pre-war ancient weapon that plunged human beings into a fearful nightmare. Back in 2015, the government of Russia signed a agreement with China to launch a full-scale massive war amongst the United States of America, Europe, Canada and anyother NATO country out there along with other self-countries. Apparently, the NATO countries have lost due to being outrighted by the powerful armies of their two opponents. They have lost and everything that was theres was now occupied and controlled by Russia and China. In 2017, a Resistance party consisting of American and Canadian neighbours built a chemical that could turn a exposed human being into outrageous, out-of-control zombie. Some are slow and some are fast, some have different appearances but all of this went straight to hell. The survivors were the only ones that could make it out alive... Alive, healthly carriers are the ones who could save us all.
In 2018, the war started. 3 years of urban attacks with nuclear and chemical attacks consisting of the most brutal wars - yet not one of the only brutal. This is only the start. The good and bad started to join up together to fight the infected. The infected people were outrageous, hideous zombies who revolutionized the whole Earth with their appearance, walking through streets, buildings, subways, gardens and any other urban district just to find human beings to eat them. To crave for human flesh.
In 2019, the population of humans have lowered greatly and the population of zombies has increased. The armies and survivors often have trouble fighting as more people speak for help. The internet, telephone - almost everything used by human beings were now gone and left. "Beep, beep, beep, beep..." is heard continously from a phone echoing through the building as it waits for its user to take it and call. The chemicals that were used by the humans were now destroyed by mixing solutions and throwing them into barrels where they are left to contaminate, mostly the ocean area where it is left to rot and decay on the ocean floor. Almost every urban district is ruthlessly devastated by zombies. Medical supplies, food, districts, towns and cities are now lowering. Survivors who are expertised with their jobs put it to good use as more and more saferooms hidden underground are used to create new medical supplies and even technology. Most factories are heavily gaurded by the military that let survivors put their jobs to work to create items. You take the boots of a survivor from a different country and different story go along with other survivors to put your hours, months, days, years to good use. It's what you need to prepare for the... zombie apocalypse. The clock starts... now."
Good, yes, no, yes? Up to you, I made the story that was mixed with war games like Homefront, Call of Duty, and all those kind of games just to make one paragraph. Anyways, time to announce my opinions.
1. Garrysmod 13 will be a better option to implement this gamemode in and shouldn't be used in just one community but for other communities aswell so the gamemode can spread. This way, those communities can modify this gamemode and share their opinions about this too.
2. In order to make a great gamemode, you should probably mix up Half-Life 2 Open Aura with some people who are excellent in computer things like scripting, SWEP'ing, mapping (most modding games include great mappers) and other people aswell. This way, you can bring more experience for users who are playing it. My question is, where would you get these kind of people?
3. Patient is key. Just don't give up on this type of gamemode.
4. Change the storyline abit - nothing like the Half-Life 2 storyline but pure fiction. I mostly involved the military and survivors and some mash-ups of movies and videogames all mixed together. The in-game models are suppose to be abit different in skins, models, weapons, environment, storyline and other things. Probably insert some eastereggs and events. This will work greatly for a publc, downloadable mod.
That's all for now I guess. +SUPPORT

I agree with Stalker this sounds like it would be a really fun GameMode just that it should wait till GMOD 13 gets released.
-
Sounds like a decent RP but it would be hard to keep it serious. People would spend all time killing zombies except of RPing.
Disagree
-
I like the idea but they can Ban people for being UnSurious...
Support.
are you kidding me, seriously?
how about you detail why you like it instead of place a dumb +support
you have any idea how annoying these posts are? hmmh?

My attempt on a backstory (i'm really good at these)
day after first infection
A mysterious mutation of the flu caused by a spongiform manipulating its DNA has appeared out of almost nowhere. It's been heavily spread around the population. Everyone thinks it will be like Mad Cow's disease, as it will blow over very soon. There are no current symptoms as of yet, except for the obvious, yet strangely suppressed flu-like symptoms. The government calls this flu Instare fata, or as the rest of the populace calls it, the Red Flu.
One week after first infection
Headline news: A man on bath-salts infected with the Red Flu attempted to ear another man's face off. (see where this is going?) Reporters say he was deranged and crazy, spoke in a slurred, somewhat feral voice. His skin was very pale and he appeared to be very high.
10 days after first infection
Many other incidences of cannibalism is reported. What appears to be a riot begins in Atlanta, Georgia, calling the entire police force of Fulton County to downtown. Other cities nationwide are 'rioting' as well. A man in Sacramento, California, a professor of Latin in the university of California has translated "Instare Fata" to "Impending Doom." Apparently, the government knew what was going down.
2 weeks after first infection
The Flu like symptoms wearing off of 90% of the population, with rabies-like symptoms sprouting. People have become Feral beasts, feeding on uninfected humans and even other infected. If someone lives with just a bite, they will become infected within a few hours. Bites are the ONLY things that make you turn after this point.
16 days after first infection
Many of the largest cities in the world (Tokyo, Atlanta, New York, London) have been overrun with infected. Almost no people are still alive in those cities. And those that are have little chance of survival.
19 days after first infection
The US military takes as much of the surviving population as they can from the cities that have not entirely been overrun. It turns out that for years, the government has been hiding information from their populace. Humanity has colonized the planet Mars several years ago, in case something bad like the Red Flu were ever to happen. All of them boarded a space shuttle and went on their journey to Mars.
25 days after first infection
EvoCity has barricaded themselves in. They are the only self sustaining city in the world so far. Their master plan was to import (before the infection, they had their own Latin Scholars ;)) hundreds of treadmills and place them around the city. That way, if an infected tried to get in, they kept on walking on the treadmill, where the snipers would dispatch them (idea gained from here: http://slaymyboredom.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/screen-shot-2012-03-25-at-11-56-37-pm.png?w=580) Meanwhile, on Mars, everything goes according to plan. Everyone settled into the Colony, Everyone was fine. Except... there was a stowaway on board.
One month after first infection
One zombie came into EvoCity. Just one, and then the entire city got overrun. But there were many survivors. About [insert player number here] survivors, that wouldn't let up to the zombies. But the city's defenses were down. Soon even more zombies came into the city, and more survivors died. The human race was almost extinct, as Mars had been unexpectedly overrun as well. But the Evocity survivors did not give up.
"That is the end of my dream, and my story as well. For it is your future I saw."
Give me constructive critisism please, not "LOL UR STORU SUKKS BALLSAKS LULZ" as many others have done.
SMILEYSPAM :) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o 8) ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-\ :-* :'( SMILEYSPAM

Agree. If people join this Zombie RP Server and then join HL2RP its going to be hell for people to learn how to Serious RP.
I like the idea.
But i'm going to have to pass.
