Title: Hyperion: Ancient Excavations (Zombies)
Post by: Snake on April 22, 2013, 04:41:34 PM
It's finally here!!!!

Survive the best zombie map ever made for SWBF1! Explore an awesome map while fighting rediculous swarms of zombies with the best weapons and units in the universe! You can play Story Mode (Select Galactic Civil War) or Arcade Mode (Select Clone Wars).

Story mode is completely Star Wars but has awesome weapons like the chaingun to annihilate the hordes of zombies. Get your zombie apocalypse buddies together and help eachother survive!

Arcade mode is even funner. Fight as Super Mario, James Bond, The Terminator, and others with epic weapons like the Wunderwaffe! This is great fun for clan nights, or just having fun by yourself! Another difference is that there are Awoken Aliens that will shoot you with their guns or poison you with spore grenades.


The Story:

On the lightly atmoshpered moon of Hyperion, the Imperial Metals Corp. was soaking the moon dry of it's mineral resources. They discovered several species of mushrooms that prospered in their mining caves and soon became a pest to the miners. One day a group of miners never returned from their mining expedition deep into the caverns. When the news reached the camp rumors spread about a monster living in the caves, or some alien species was going to attack them for invading their planet. Search party after search party went looking but were never seen again. Even the commanders of the station were getting scared.. One day the camp doctor found mushroom spores that had suffocated a miner to death by covering his lungs. The research facilities were immediately focused on these mushrooms and what they did to humans. The few miners that made it out of the caverns said they discovered many ancient alien ruins, which further terrified the remaining residents of the camp. Then, one terrifying solar evening on Hyperion, every lost miner, soldier, and commander were met once again...

Try to find each easter egg:
-The COD BO2 Zombie game
-Advertisement signs (There's 7)
-The Revive dispenser
-Ways over the wall
-Things on the other side of the wall (hint, hint)
-The Peace Sign effect


Bugs
-There's a slight weirdness in the main cavern where you sink into the floor
-Revive dispenser has a messed up texture due to a strangely made model
-Zombies like to "pile-up" but it makes for a lot of fun with the chaingun
-There's no regions in the caves to prevent the floating spores because the spores are supposed to be originating from the mushrooms

Good luck and watch your back!

P.S. I would like to request this for a mod night. Even though this would have less zombies in multiplayer, it'd still be awesome to play with other people.

This looks like a great map, design wise and, well, fun wise! I will definitely try this out on the weekend.

Looks epic, cannot wait to try it! Shame I'l have to wait for the weekend to play it...

Before I download, I will ask: is it anything like Utapau: Island Assault? I mean are there soo many things on the map that my game will crash due to a mass overspawn of zombies.

If the overspawn of units is causing crashes for you, you could host a multiplayer game and choose the number of AI per team. But host using DC or gamespy since those don't work anymore.

Maybe if you have a computer from like the 1980s. It's not a very large map but there's plenty of zombies.

Nah, it's from the 2000's. :P Yeah, I guess it will work then. I know my map can handle mass ai on a small map, but mass ai on a large map is just plain trouble.

Anyways, if it has that Nazi Zombies feel, I will definitely be addicted to it.

I won by using the little Wookiee/Ewok-looking thing and staying in the middle of the map. That got boring after I while and I went exploring, though. :P

By the way, I found all of the things on the list but I wasn't on Xfire at the time. I don't really want credit, but I must say... your Gunship skin is AMAZING.

Well that's the easiest unit to use! Try surviving with just the Imperial Officer. :P I didn't make the gunship skin but I don't think the credits came with the assets. But yes that skin is awesome. Story Mode has different vehicles btw.

This is a brilliant map and one of the best I've ever played. I played it about 20 times after downloading it. The story mode is extremely hard and I still can't survive on hard difficulty (not using tanks or hiding). The AI zombie pathing is really well done; they chase you, avoid grenades and I still haven't seen one get stuck.
The hidden bonuses are good fun too (the chairs made me laugh), it's nice to have the ships aswell so you can see the whole map and I'm still finding more.
I also like the skins, weapons and the variety of areas you can play in.  :cheers:

I'm glad you liked it! I put the most work into this map than any before it, so I'm glad it turned out good.
--
Not sure if anyone has figured this out yet, but the two modes have different vehicles.

Also, I added an easter egg to the list. See if you can find it! (I highly doubt anyone will)

The map, is very impressive, and nice maded. I feel, the realy hard work here... Interesting, how many time, takes placing all those mushrooms? :D
Everything, terraine, textures, props, and light, keeps in main style and wery detalized. Seems I spent lot of time, to read "Zombie Propaganda" posters :P.
By the way, I like, how you make my Wanderwaffe works. :tu:

Weird, but I found some area, probably, maded for some other map, and it's represent some race circuit... :blink:
There is a bicycles for GCW, and speederbikes for CW, so, perhaps you planing another map ;)...

Bugs & issues review:
[spoiler]
1. Seems, you forget, to put lamp texture tga, for my Wanderwaffe!  :o
2. 1st views, are totaly stock :confused:.
3. Zombie melee weapon, has lightseber sound...
4. Minimap, is cud be very handy ;).
5. Gameplay: there is exist high "meditation" factor, for both teams in GCW. So, close to the end of the game, AI abandon fights, and start "meditate".
Unfortunately CW, is, very hard to win (if it's possible at all), so, all fun, ends too fast :(.

Very nice, the zombies acutally chased me, but I've only played it twice so I haven't tried out all the classes or places yet. Also I wasn't aware that there were ships lol. The only problem for me is that one trooper kept going back to low res :( , I think that's what it is called. This would go weell in the map pack :D

It appears the update has removed some of the other posts we made.

Anyways, loved the map, my only bug I found was that there was always 1 zombie stuck in the ramp somehow. I still have yet to put my freecam common in to see how or where it happened.

Haha, thats weird.. Oh well, so much for those posts. Alright, I don't remember this ever happening in testing but I'll play it through a couple of times to see.

Good map 9/10 for design only flaw is the zombies hub camping of north base. Also seems kind of easy to win in GCW. Enjoyable replay value and the level of detail on posters stands out so nice work.

Oh and a huge plus for adding CCSC compatibility for changing the sky texture  :D.

Nice map design and sides. I love the stick/flower guy. He's hilarious!
