v3.0.9 Update
Hey everyone,
Remember when we said v3.0.8 would be the last? Yeah, we lied. Sorry! We've updated ZPS to version v3.0.9!
This is an important update because it features changes to the rounds manager where late joiners won't be able to play as a Survivor every time, a penalty for players who choose to 'zombie skip' during the round, small changes to ZP Options, tweaks to pistol fire rate and more.
We also have slightly increased movement speed for regular zombies! Check the list below for full details:
General Added a "Game Manual" button that opens the Steam overlay to our official ZPS manual. (Special Thanks to: Orphanage and the dev team)
Updated English and French translations.
Code
Added a warning threshold to zombie lives counter (will flash red if zombies are almost out of lives).
Health is no longer considered critical below 20 (HL2's value), it is now considered critical below 35 if you are a survivor and 80 as a zombie.
Maps zps_sapidcerebrum
Weapons Fixed golf club dealing more damage on the stomach/chest rather than the head.
Decreased pistols firing rate, the time between 2 shots has been changed from 0,11 seconds to 0,13 seconds.
Zombies Increased movement speed for regular zombies 140 to 145.
Server owners are required to update their server as soon as possible - also be sure to backup your server.cfg file. Steam will automatically update your client shortly.
