with Gamma's firefight being based somewhat on cod5's Nazi zombies,why hasn't anybody tried accually making the Nazi zombies map? i mean CtrlAltDestr0y made

"The Barrier" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWaXNpF5PXE

and

"The Mystery Box" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2IsvxEDMVo

but why hasnt any body attempted to make it? just curious....

Because CAD is magical, and the rest of us are still working on replicating the barrier and the mystery box.

But why not borrow the already made Barrier and mystery box and just fix the bugs,texture,ect.?

Because those are CAD's tags.

has anybody ever tried asking him?

anyways,i was just curios if you guys could make a fourm with the barrier and mystery box that you guys are making?

making a forum for progress on that is a but too much don't you think >:)

but it's too minor to make a topic for that. if they wanted to do so, they'd post it in the semi official work topic

CAD useually doesnt not give his work away, pretty pointless if you ask me but its his choice. Anyways those barriers etc, dont sync on online multiplayer so it would be strictly singleplayer.

Accually,it might sync if you use the same methoud as higuy is using for the bridges in garden, for the barriers it might be plausable,but even if it didnt work it would still be a nice challenge,i mean the orignal nazi zombie's was intended for multiplayer ans singleplayer gamplay.

anyways does anybody know if anybody elese was working on the barriers and mystery box?

-_- besides them?

Technically Treyarch, because Activsion is the publisher.

The mystery box is easy to make. The barrier is possible to make. The reason why not so many people are going to make them, is because a complete remake, is much more tedious to make than you think. For example, even if you do have the barrier, you'll have to make the AI run at the barrier, and slash at it until it's dead. Then, once it's dead, you'll have to play an animation that makes them climb over the windowsill. After that, you'll have to repeat the process for every single encounter, and window. Oh, and let's say you want a door that opens if you pay for the points. You'll have to create a boolean that checks if you opened the door. Once that's done, you'll have to create new encounters for every single window on the other side of the house for that one opened door. What's that? You want to unblock the staircase as well? Even MORE AI that you'll have to place. And what's Nazi Zombies without a points system? Have fun writing the points system like I did, and set up scripts which dock points when you buy weapons. Speaking of weapons, you'll have to create devices on the walls that look like the weapon silhouettes, and have a piece of scenery that uses the weapon model to appear once you buy the weapon. Oh, and you'll have to create scripts for buying ammo once you have the weapon. And if you throw away the weapon, you'll have to re-buy the weapon again. More fun variables. So you see, it's totally so easy to go out and make a complete remake. I sure don't know why everyone isn't scrambling out to make the easiest thing out there.

so it IS possible, just hard. :D

Or to make it easier, put trigger volumes Just behind the door, so when the player walks in the triggervolume activates a script allowing the spawn & acces for zombies in that area!

EUREKA! well not exactly eureka but lol, thats my concept.

Just make it set a boolean to true, and have AI continuous scripts that only activate if it's set to true. Of course, you still have to place the encounters.
