Status of ZM

**sean7488** · 09-27-2010

So since the update, we've been having problems with ZM. Since we switched to zombie reload we haven't really had much of a population in the ZM server. I'd like this thread to be about what we can do to get it populated. What sort of things do you think would get the population back into zm? I'd like to get the server populated again considering it was our highest populated server about a year ago. I know with zombie reload we had made it steam, did we ever get no-steam working with it?

Well I was just in there when a few people joined, it had a few people in there for a few minutes and than people started getting kicked with this message:

Nicklas hansen was kicked for high ping. (72.098243)
Nicklas hansen was kicked for low outgoing packets. (20.457901)

Is there a way to have people not get kicked with that or something. That could be part of the reason we aren't getting people in there.

It is nonsteam Sean. They need an updated client to connect. Sacabu or Cybirth has it. High ping has to be adjusted. And outgoing packets is the rate system. They HAVE to adjust their rates or they will be removed from the game.

i've noticed this also. It only happens on ZM afaik, and i suspect that it has something to do w/the cracked server. I'll poke around and see what i can turn up.

Well first thing we need to do is find any problems in the server like the ping kicking people out, but I've talked to ender about it last night and hopefully he'll fix it soon.
Another thing I've notice was some of the weapon will glich after reloading and will constantly need to be reloaded after 30 bullets.
This is my option but i think parachutes are necessary because having it on every map is not fun when you need to flip a prop over and stuff.

also is their anyway to combine the super menu and the zadmin menu with the admin sounds back on?

that packets thing from rates kicks the few ppl that join so yeah if it gets fixed population would at least double.
also it can be populated by choosing an hour 4 some of us to go in at the same time
someone call 4 it in the chatbox from time to time maybe?

The reason i don't play on zm n/u is whenever i turn from ct to a zombie, or become the first zombie, my screen goes pitch black. I can turn on my freinds list, see my bullets, see my health, see my armor, etc. etc., but i can never see where ct's are except when i use the radar. I know it's not a problem with my computer because i see fine when im a ct, or even when i'm switched from t to ct. When i play on other z mod servers such as Dotty Boy's i have no problem with it. I haven't tried z mod with my new laptop but i may soon. As soon as i have someone to play with lol.

This is most likely your client. Try deleting all of the zr materials and then rejoin and reinstall them. But I have seen reports on the ZombieMod forums that servers do due this on fullbright maps. Check if that's what it is... (Turn on your flashlight). I have all the extra zr features turned off on my server (fog, skybox, lighting, etc.) so maybe you guys should check if those are set or not.

Lol dot. I play on your server not anyways. So it's not a big deal. n/u zm is dead anyways. Helms Deep FTW!
