Hunt for food is good, I'd suggest crows, seaguls and pigeons go on the menu.
Growing food maybe not, though growing some medicines (if you really have to have a growing production thing).
Water ok, I can live with but make it a polluted/cleansing system.
Basically my ideas just trying to bring you away from the whole harvest thing but still keep the rts side of things.
But yes sounds very good.
I'm happy that you've decided to give to the community something and let me be the first to say:
I'll be waiting for more.

The food growing was mainly to keep the players doing something, I don't want people doing nothing and getting bored
Also, these zombies only attack at night and most buildings you can go in(small town), are dark inside, so there are zombies in them.
Right now I am having trouble making the buildings, also, I can't seem to find any good trees to make a dense forest... I tried to make a dense forest with tons of small stuff, when I get to close, it lags the game bad... no LODs being used at that range...
Also, there are no pictures to post at the moment, once I finish the Inn, I'll post a picture of it.

Sounds good, I think there is no need to grow food, you can spend time scavenging/hunting for food etc. do other jobs like finding fuel canisters for gens, sorting the water supplies out. I'd have a daily amount of each spawn each day a bit like the mushrooms in harvest but fuel, food and birds.
As for the trees, only way to have thick as you want is use low poly tree 'cards' in the distance and high poly in the main areas. then add a fog to cull everything at a certain range, or just design the forest so hint brushes or occulders can do the culling.

Use left4dead trees for the forest and tree cards for the borders like fug said. Since this is a zombie map, make the fog plane extremely close. You shouldn't be able to see a zombie 50 yds in front of you. If you have left4dead, the first level in Blood Harvest would be a very good guide for you to check out.
I'm interested to see how you implement the day/night system.
Oh and don't forget a bunch of Ravenholm style traps.

Well, I think you only see zombies attack at night, giving the player time to do there tasks during the day, though if you go into a dark area, like a house or building, there might be zombies in there.shiftey wrote:Since this is a zombie map, make the fog plane extremely close.

Wish I could, but as I said before, no L4D :/shiftey wrote: If you have left4dead, the first level in Blood Harvest would be a very good guide for you to check out.
Can I rig the env lights to one name and have a script set there brightness or color(for dawn)?shiftey wrote: I'm interested to see how you implement the day/night system.

In theory you can have enviroment light matching to night and a couple of extreme Constant lights to brighten up to daylight. Though you will definately suffer "Too many light styles" if you try to use dynamic lights in open spaces. Also Episode 2 Tress and cardboxes would be fine. Imho ripping L4D trees is a little extreme.

Absolutely. The tree models wouldn't take up too much space since there are very few. PM me if you decide you want them. I seriously doubt you'd get in trouble for using them. Look at all the illegal model transfers going on with gmod...
And I believe you could use the technique that KON_air suggested. But its worth a try to see if the light_env can be turned off/on.

Yeah, I just looked :/
I would hate to, but maybe I'll just dim the screen, then when it gets to a certain amount, it stops and I can just kill/turn off the env lights.
So it looks like it got dark.
Though, I would dislike doing it that way, I wanted the battles at night to last all the way to day... have to think of a new way... any one have any ideas?
