Zombie's Coop Server

[TigerTheGreat]

I'd still want the more recent DZItems, perhaps we'll find some way to tear it apart and make it usable again.

The main difference between the original cache rip of DZ items and the newer version is that Zombie made the newer version dependent on his server side mutator.



Apparently the mutator is needed for the scripts to work and for summons to appear though I haven't tried it myself.


Yeah I do wonder if someone can code a new mutator to make it work with DZ Items again it would be nice to see that happen.

If Zombie ever were to allow his source to be released I'd love to work on it. Sadly he took great pains to break functionality if you tried to access his assets. I can appreciate his stance but at this point there's just no reason.

[Robaxlin]

Yeah there's no point in emailing him as you won't get a reply and it's the only way of contacting him.


I can understand his stance as well because he never wanted DZ Items made public since it was cache ripped against his personal wishes.


There's no way I can see to get your hands on the source so I think we're just at a loss now unfortunately......

I had made my own personal version of the mod on my private server maybe around 2014. It's a bit experimental, but I had added some extra stuff like some effects for mobs that are pregnant. As you dealt damage they'd get fatter and they'll eventually explode their mobs instead of just turn into a gib, inspired off of the flood in Halo CE. I don't think I ever made it work server side though, if I did it was the last thing I did to the mod.

I did make a recreation of the EverlastingItems. I don't know if there's any differences between this version and Zombies, but this should make a good substitute for those.

This mutator lets us summon the pawns and inventory from the DZItems package: DZMutator_v1.7z

Wow thanks for posting this and putting your time into this mutator. You came out of nowhere, joined the forum 9 days ago and here it is, something everyone has been looking for, for years. I'm using the 96Kb version of DZItems. Like you said the newer version won't allow summoning without a server mutator, which it appears you've solved. The monsters dropping other monsters when killed is part of this mutator? I looked at the source of DZMutator and it looks like that's the case. I've had to rely on DZMapM to accomplish this.

Wondering if you know how to make it spawn in that neat line of weapons it would add at spawn? That would make it much more realistic, vs. using GivItem and 5200 of everything when they join.

Also there were some places that had monsters like on Vortex2, the large room with the fans and lift, there was a Titan in there somehow. Haven't figured out how Zombie did that. Pretty sure he used DZMapM in some cases to replace items, like MaleBody would be replaced by a LethalNaliChild for example (probably not the exact thing he did), but it's what I did, in order to add some more monsters in.

I could putz around with this on another test server to see if we can get it closer to how the original DeadZone was.

Zombie's is Back!!! He has it as Zombie's Memorial Server!! Maybe we'll get some coop players back!

It's basically the same, minus the Pencil (a DP that you can draw on walls with) and removed the more powerful quad shot cause :gasp: Reject_Forever would be traumatized for life and have a heart attack if those were in there. He rage quit over those two inventory items and to the best of my knowledge has moved on and never returned.

Someone to share a newer version of the dzItems?
I Remember that it had a dual dispersion pistol.
The version from zeke dies not have this.
