Map Descriptions:

Resort 2 is a building, similar to the lila building on an island surrounded by deadly water. A small boat drives in a circle around the map. There are some additional islands surrounding the main one, and there are a couple buildings floating in the water. One of them has a basement underground.

Umbrella Corp is the Umbrella Corp building, but isn't actually from any of the movies. It has offices on the main floor, but if you go down there are also storage areas and then secret labs at the bottom. The labs make for good barricading. There is a helipad on the roof. Players can go in and out of the building and the parking lot.

420 Office 5 is fairly shitty when it comes to detail, but there are many good camping spots in the map, and it is very fun overall. It's a little more abstract than the other maps we have on the server. Less detail, but detail isn't important here.

Tanna is a small village that subsists off of the rice fields around it. It consists of two big main buildings by spawn, and down the hills of rice fields you will find a small school and a couple of small houses. This map has a lot of barricading spots.

Added map:
zm_base_day

This is a remake of zm_base_fixed_b3 done by MoOnLiGht and me. Moon changed the atmosphere of the map from night to day and added some scenery. She also did some work on the balance of the rooms inside, and added the zm_natalyas_ship radio tower. I added all of the secrets it now has, added an extra teleport, and two non-secret rooms to the basement. One is just regular climbing camping, but the other room is Death Pit 2.0 -- a new remake of the bridge room in cabin. The new one features a bunch of fire at the bottom, a cooler pit in general, and now although the humans can't see into the hallway from across the bridge, just like cabin, the zombies are now able to see from the hallway into the pit room, giving them a little bit of an advantage here, as compared with the original where they couldn't see either.

[siosios]

did you test it and make sure nothing dies?

[Natalya]

Moon tested on her server and it worked 100% with 40+ players. It doesn't have any complex entity systems like vehicles or cameras so I wasn't too worried about this anyway.

[siosios]

yea but tested on one server and not ours can be 2 different beasts......

[Natalya]

Well we played it tonight on N/U with 8 people, all the way through with no bugs either. 0;

Messed with Prop Menu:
- Set Exploding Barrel price to 5
- Removed Shelf
- Added Vending Machine
- Set Vending Machine price to 8

The vending machine is the big blue Breen vending machine from hl2. Aim far away and use it only in open areas or you could get stuck inside of it, but if used properly it is a huge fucking zombie blocker.
