Multiplayer Zombies Works! Somehow...

At least one gold server managed to get a slightly buggy version of multiplayer zombies working. It was pretty fun, too, despite some problems with people respawning only at the beginning of a new round if they joined late or ran out of followers to respawn into.

Multiplayer zombies is pretty much everything you would hope it could be.

Unfortunately, something always ruins the fun in the end. In this case it was a guard -- server admin, my bad, saw his name was purple and he was freezing me -- being a jerk for no apparent reason. So on a server that's been running a new experimental mod, I somehow ended up with admin powers (to enter editor mode, basically). I don't know how. Maybe it's a side-effect of mixing the single-player zombie mode, in which you can do that by pressing escape and clicking edit mode, with multiplayer. Maybe someone accidentally gave me mod powers. Since I don't own a server, I have no idea how that works.

Regardless, we were playing around for about an hour and the original person running it had long since run off. Suddenly, I was frozen. But who was freezing me and what for? The answer is apparently blueboy23.

So yes, multiplayer zombies is awesome, and no, guards idiot server admins being obtuse is not. Here's the convo, you tell me what the problem is.

Not only that, but he's the owner of a different clan every other day.
Maybe he wants to get respect as the leader of a one man clan, but when people figure out he's an idiot he makes a new clan and try's to dupe people again?
Also, I think editor would be fine on an EXPERIMENTAL server.
After all, did Blueboy ever think that editor would be helpful if, say, you were showing some others your neat zombie trap?

 

Things would have been a lot better for all involved if he had simply said something like this:
blueboy23: Hey, I'm a server admin. Can you please stop using edit mode?
Beelzebub: Sure. I don't even know how I can access it.
blueboy23: That's weird. Let me check if you have admin powers on this server.

 

Now if only 8 year olds could comprehend that...

 

I don't really think you should be calling people "idiots". Knowing not to abuse admin powers on a server you shouldn't have admin on is pretty common sense. I'm pretty sure this is the kind of stuff people are suppose to be banned for.

 

Admin powers, or the ability to go into edit mode? I could go into edit mode. I didn't have powers to freeze, ban, or kick people. Considering I also have edit mode abilities in single-player zombie mode, it's more than likely that that crossed over into the multiplayer server mod rather than me suddenly cracking the KAG code and doing whatever Neo-in-the-Matrix stuff it takes to hack this game.
</br>--- merged: Mar 29, 2012 5:35 AM ---</br>
Also define "abuse" when there's only one team and I'm building a castle in a place where there were no stated rules. Because that's what I was doing. Not chopping down other peoples' structures, or dropping huge stone chunks down on unsuspecting players. I built a couple zombie-proof walls, and at one point killed a Z-knight (first time I have ever been able to kill one, by the way) by dropping some stone on it until it died.

 

I do not belive. Give me name of server(and password to it, not rcon).
It looks on first as fake, but who knows?

 

It was called "Zombie Test" or something like that and it was a gold server. There are only like 5 gold servers, so if it's online you should see it.

As a side note, what's rcon? I keep hearing the term but I don't know what it's referring to other than some kind of tool that records building collapses.

 

At least i know is RCON Password is used to get admin powers.

Code:

USE HOME
/RCON <PASSWORD>

 

Blueboy is literally twelve; to expect logical reasoning from a prepubescent child is either foolish or ignorant, depending on your awareness of the fact. He could have stood not to blow it so out of proportion and constantly repeat himself, but at the same time, "there were no rules so it's justified" is a pretty transparent excuse. Any way you put it, you're in the wrong too, but I am sure you realize this much.

I'm not sure how Geti and MM feel about the whole jury-rigged multiplayer zombies thing, but if people are randomly getting editor access, it's probably better not to tamper with it. At the end of the day, I'd just avoid playing servers administrated by 12 year olds no matter how alluring the content is.

 

Blah blah blah. Not that I'm tooting my own horn but it can't be excused that young children can act however they like on the internet. We're not a daycare center. I don't get paid for this shit. If some little boy wants to go on an immature power trip, well... He isn't the server OWNER, right? I thought those were the people who could do whatever they wanted?

Anyway, I don't wanna get another warning so I'm just gonna leave it at young age != immaturity. Shit, half of my clan is like 15 years old and are more mature than me, and I'm 10 years older.

 

Zombies on Beo's server nr.1 worked pretty much perfect yesterday for two hours straight. Only the migrants were spazzing out, but we didn't have a lot of problems from them.

 

I don't see why MM and Geti would be pissed that we're checking it out. It's really just for fun now until the real deal is finished.

 

Yea. Looking at Beo's server I'm surprised THEY haven't released a test version for all premiums yet. It's really not that bugged anyway.

 

It's actually pretty bugged. XD

There's a few issues like zombies spawning in the middle of the map instead of at the sides and shit like that. Otherwise it works pretty nicely!

 

They haven't complained about people grafting kegs and all the other shit into the game, as far as I know the only officially endorsed (as in endorsed to be working) gold content is day and knight and hats, anything beyond that is modded in isn't it? I'm sure they don't really mind and if they did would have said something.

 

Poor thing is, boulder-raping team-killers.
WORST.
F**CKING.
THING.
EVER.
