COD4 mod: Before The Dawn - Zombie Bot Mod 2.1



updated d.d. 9-1-2009



Before The Dawn is a zombie Bot mod for Call Of Duty 4, Players have to fight against waves of angry zombies and try to survive until the last wave.

At the moment the alpha isn’t really a total conversion, but by the time the next update is released, we hope it will be on the way to a full multi player conversion with a lot more features.

Servers

XGS before the Dawn test server - 217.146.84.250:32000 - None camping server (updated often)
WJF Defore the Dawn clan server - 217.146.84.240:28930 - Camping server

The mod is basically a zombie game type where you have to survive as long as you can, killing AI zombies which come in
waves of your choice. Thats right Zombie bots.

So how do you play and customize

As you have the mod, with your own server or locally, you have full customization on the mod. Basically player have to
survive from the zombie invasion, which the mod is entirely based on. There are waves which zombies will swarm the map
and try to eat you, each wave the number of zombies increase, making it harder for the player. between each wave, theres
a grace period (when its safe and all zombies are eliminated from the wave that just took place) there are depots which
spawn on the map which regenerates your ammo, and gives you time to hide somewhere else. however, if zombies kill all the
players, game over! Additionally most of the game settings are changable such as the zombies per wave; number of waves
and grace time. Including much more such as zombie strength/speed. Look down to "Changable settings"

This version is an ALPHA release and not feature complete, expect to find a few bugs.

Features:

* Waves of angry zombies
* Single Player & Custom Weapons
* Custom Rank System
* Ability for admins to use custom music (advised to get permission from artist first)
* Custom HUD
* Anti Camp System
* Custom Pickup System
* Custom Menu
* Night / Day settings
* Custom vision settings
* 1st / 3rd person views
* Custom Server messages and kill spree messages
* differant wave settings
* custom admin features (pickups, vision & nightness)

+ YouTube Video

How to install on your game server:

Simply edit your cfgs to how you want them (game settings). Make a new folder in your servers mod folder (rootmodsz"new folder here") Called btd_alpha_001. However you can call it something else. Then simply upload your updated cfg's/mod.ff/iwd's to the newly made folder.Then change the command line.

example cmd line to create a local server.

create a shortcut to cod4 on ur desktop
right click properites
and edit the game target

"rootiw3mp.exe" +set fs_game mods/btd_alpha_001 +set dedicated 0 +set map_rotate +exec server.cfg"


Update:

You will need:

• A game server, preferably from a host like XGS.
• The mod
• Thing you could have which make it easier to do:
• FTP - FlashFXP (google it, its good) This is used to upload files from your machine quickly, the game panel is rediculous.

First download the BTD_alpha_001 mod from a reliable source, it will be hosted for download here on sunday aprox, or I suspect you can get it from XGS on friday/saturday if you buy a server from them.

Now locally edit your cfg(s) (configuration files) *If you don't know what they are, they basically tell the mod what to do. You may get more than one config. To change the server name, rcon, make it private, add redirect, map rotation etc etc that will be the "server.cfg". But there will probably be another cfg probably called zombies.cfg where you edit things to do with the zombies. You may get other cfgs such as weapon cfgs etc.

open your cpanel, go to file manager, and in the directory go to "mods" folder. Inside the mods folder simply just upload the EXTRACTED btd_alpha_001 folder. If you don't want the name as btd_alpha_001, rename the folder.

Personally, I don't use the method I just shown you, I manually make a folder, and upload the "mod.ff" and the cfgs into that folder. However, thats entirely upto you.

now you have done that, well done. Now you need to change the command lines. Now, go to your "command line changer" and click "new" to make a new command line. In the command line name call it your mods name. Then the box below where you have command: +set fs_game" type mods/btd_alpha_001"name of folder where your mod files are" So with my example it would be mods/btd_alpha_001, depends on what you called it. Also make sure you tick the select box. However, leave the "+ set sv_punkbuster" field blank, unticked and totally blank. As far as I am aware, you don't need that selected at all, as it auto turns PB on with XGS anyways.

Now obvously click the save button to that and restart your game server.

That should be up and running now, you can always edit your cfgs to change the the way the mod does things, like changing zombie health etc.

Hope it helped, I know it was kinda long/long winded. but some people havent used a server in there life time.

Geweldige mod! Alleen dat je met nighvision moet rondrennen is vervelend, aangezien het anders te donker is...

[kriDje]

Vlak die AbneyPark niet uit hoor, hij heeft ook aandeel in de Pezbots en hij heeft extreme sniper en nog wat ander mods gemaakt! 2 goeie bij elkaar!

[kriDje]

Ik ken AbneyPark niet zo heel goed, maar ik zag inderdaad dat hij ook wat mooie dingen had gemaakt. Leuk dat ze hun krachten hebben gebundeld.

[Hendrik]

Ik heb hem erop gehad.....

Een stock 32 man gevulde server trekt maar 4% cpu maar deze mod trekt hem vol tot 98%.
Ik heb hem er weer afgehaald al was het wel een leuke mod.

[cybereye]

Hoi,

Wij hebben even gekeken en we komen op een aantal dingen.

1rste als de zombie wave komt zie je de zombie's zo snel binne 1 sec van de enne naar de andere kant zo snel.

2de wij missen in de download file een Config genaamt: exec btd_trade.cfg

Die kan je nergens vinden. Hopelijk kunnen julle ons verder helpen.

[kriDje]

Ik zie die file inderdaad ook niet. Ik zoek het even op.

// edit: In die van Call of Duty Filefront zit die file ook niet.

Kun je die speed niet instellen?

[Buitenbeentje]

Ook leuk, met die bots zit niet iedereen te schelden omdat hij zombie is geworden

[Mr. BlueZone]

Topicstart is aangepast!

You can always edit your cfgs to change the the way the mod does things, like changing zombie health, speed etc
