Zombie Horde 1.3.0

Overview

Zombie Horde 1.3.0 introduces new zombie movement abilities, a new zombie type, an improved configuration menu, Better stability and reliability, expanded difficulty controls, and additional server administration commands.

Gameplay Changes

New Zombie Movement Abilities

Zombies can now:

• Build stairs to reach higher areas and overcome elevation changes.
• Sprint and jump across small gaps and reach slightly higher positions.

These abilities make zombie waves more dynamic and reduce the effectiveness of simple defensive positions.

New Trapper Zombie

A new zombie type, the Trapper, has been added to Zombie Horde.

The Trapper expands the variety of enemies that can appear during a wave and adds another threat for players to deal with.

New Zombie Animations

New animations have been added to improve the appearance and behavior of zombies during gameplay.

Configuration Menu

The configuration menu has been redesigned and now provides two configuration modes.

Simple Mode

Simple Mode is intended for quick and easy setup. It contains the most important settings required to configure a Zombie Horde with minimal effort.

Custom Mode

Custom Mode provides more detailed control over the behavior and difficulty of zombie waves. It is intended for server owners who want to create a more specific gameplay experience.

Difficulty Settings

The previous strength-based configuration has been replaced with separate settings for more precise control.

The following options are now available:

• Zombies per Five Minutes
  Determines how many zombies are spawned during a five-minute period.

• Zombie Damage
  Determines how much damage zombies deal to players.

• Zombie Health
  Determines how much health zombies have and how difficult they are to defeat.

These settings can be adjusted independently. This allows server owners to create different difficulty profiles, such as large groups of weaker zombies or smaller groups of stronger zombies.

Server Commands

New commands have been added for server administration and Zombie Horde management.

They provide server owners and administrators with additional control over zombie waves directly from the server.

Wave Join Despawn Function

A new function has been added to handle zombies when a player joins an active wave.

When enabled, zombies can be despawned as a player joins the wave. This provides server owners with more control over how existing zombies are handled when players join an ongoing event.
