I don't understand what you mean by "either"???

I finished the Minecraft version but I decided to do it in Arma instead, because of cars and more modding capabilities.

Updates

I started the Outbreak Launcher, it's still unfinished, I'm going to polish it up later.

- Can change settings
- Can set Arma 3 path and launch parameters
- Can set Windowed mod and close launcher after chosen a server
- When opening the launcher it will check if you have two required mods, if not, will bring up a window saying where to download them and the launcher will check if they're installed.

Verify/Install files feature

- The program will check the integrity of your files and update them
- The form automatically updates with new files it sees when it requests a list from outbreakmod.com
- The verify files form will show if a file is out of date or needs installing

TODO:

- Show server list
- More settings customisation
- Save servers
- Double click server to join it

 
Welcome back!

Development has resumed.

Changelog:

- Rewrote fracture and leg breaking
- Optimsed user logging in (all just one big SQL query instead of many queries at once)
- Weapon caliber balancing when shooting other zombies and players
- Dynamic events now rotate around the map every x minutes
- Morphine now fixes broken bones
- Basic zombie AI (written from scratch by me)
- Zombie sounds depending if they're idle, throwing a punch, found a target etc
- Converting magazines with same caliber and keeping ammo count (eg double clicking DMR mag will turn it into a FN/FAL mag, and double clicking a stack of .45 ACP for revolver will turn it into a 1911 magazine)

Bug fixes

- Fixed a bug where logging in with 0 health will put you in a constant respawn loop
- Health updating/checking is instant now

How zombies work

If zombies have no target:

- they will wander around making noises
- once found a target, they will keep chasing that target (if they're within distance).

If a zombie is 2 metres or less from a target:

- they will attack and throw a punch
- if a player moves away since a punch was thrown there will be no damage taken.

If the target runs away from the zombie:

- the zombie will wander around where they last saw the target.

TODO: Gun shots attract zombies

Video demonstrating basic zombies coming soon

Yes, but if you have anything you'd like to say, please share it here.

can i set up a server and help to work on it ?

 

[Quackster]

So @Brad helped me test the mod, to make sure there's no bugs with multiple clients, unfortunately there's a huge bug which I've encountered!

- When a zombie hit a player, the effect is broadcasted to every player

can i set up a server and help to work on it ?

Unless you're a talented modeler with Oxygen 2 or a decent graphics artist I don't require any help, and setting up a server is currently a waste of time as both server and client mod are being constantly developed.

still got my steam account with 70 games on, i might just get another PC to start playing again, this mod looks great! ecspecially on arma 3.
