    Awesome! Thanks for this. Love my zombie missions.

    Could you use another upload site in the future? That one sucks...

    Ok so I just tried it out for a while and it REALLY bogs my system down. Is that common? I have a pretty decent system and was kind of surprised to see the amount of slowdown.

    Hm, you tried the most recent version correct (V1.01)? I would try lowering the amount of zombies per KM^2, if you are hosting the game on your computer you will probably see some frame rate drop. It shouldn't be severe though. I have a Vista 32 Bit, Quad @2.40GHz and 3.00 GB ram and I usually get ~20 frames in the mission and ~25 in any other mission.

    I've had 7 other people host and none of them had severe problems...but that doesn't mean there's something else going on. What do you mean by bog down? Does it happen right away? Or is it overtime that it starts to slow down? Try playing the mission on the VVC server (Or any other server) and please let me know how your computer handles it there. Degeneration is about just as demanding as Benney's Warfare is...When comparing server FPS anyways.

    Also, if you are running any other mods besides @DGN, that might the cause as well.

    It's right from the beginning. My system literally lags. It's like I'm playing with a high ping and everything happens half a second or so after I press the button to do it. It never slows down or speeds up. It stays the same constant "lagged" speed the entire time.

    It's on the default zeds per km2. I think that was 50?

    And yes I'm running ACE. I'll give it a spin without ace tomorrow(bout to go to bed) and give you another report.

    p.s. My recommendation to spice the map up a bit is to do sec-ops style missions that pop up. For example save a group of people calling over the radio for help.

    Strange, well if you're sure that you're running V1.01 then I'm assuming it to be some other factor I'm unaware of. I don't try to hide my dislike for ACE, so I wouldn't pass that up as the reason. I hope we can continue to troubleshoot though, I can't recreate the problem for 1.01 and neither can any of my previous testers. I'm sure your rig is much better than mine so that can't be it...


    Like I said, try joining the VVC server (that's where we tested everything) with just @DGN running. If you get the same results let me know.

    Im getting "cannot load mipmap...dgen2.paa". You can click continue and the Cherno map is black but the game plays. This is on a dedicated server running just @dgn.

    Hmm, yeah, this was an issue with including the wrong image. It will have NO affect on the game whatsoever. Even though it is annoying. It will be fixed

    Roger, that error will not effect gameplay, no worries. Map is supposed to be black, as you do not have one.

    Thanks for the report!

    @MacScottie/anyone that is experience the "script lag"

    I went through and optimized a couple of the scripts and managed to squeeze out a couple more FPS for the servers. I updated the first page, go ahead and try the updated mission please. It should be V1.03 now.

    excellent mission... BIG BIG ty great fun i had with my friend... almost feel like the movie resident evil 3 always travel in convoy and scanvenging for fool and ammo. got pound by loades of zombie when ever we stop.... hell even the ending is alike too board a copper fly some where,,, ( i havn't get that far yet only had found 3 chopper part)

    well so far excellent mission. but it would be better if
    1: clearer objective, some in game info would help, i didn't know what was the obj didn't know there r 5 choc part to collect until i come here.

    2: more hint may be? 1 km~ish Viewdistance at a 13 by 13 KM map really discouraging people to find all 5 choc... we spent 5 ish hours yesterday n we could only find 3 choc part, half of our group was already bored to dead because of endless driving

    3: major FPS drop near choc

    4: already mention by MacScottie "script lag"... when u detech or eat or drink... script lag....

    I agree, I will be adding a lot of information underneath the "Notes" section of the map

    Yeah, if you try V1.03 it should be a bit easier...the markers are working correctly now. However it just tells you where one of the parts are and the cache's. I might make it in the future...if a player finds a radio, that the helicopter parts become marked on the map over time via broadcasts or something or another.

    I know about this problem, and it is the smoke. I'm trying to find a better way to mark a downed helicopter's position besides frame rate reducing smoke.

    Try version 1.03. That should all be fixed now

    Keep in mind the mission is ment to be difficult. Finding the helicopter/all the parts will only happen every once in awhile.
