This is a rather good idea that I may take up in the future.

I've already addressed this in earlier posts.

I tried something like that, but it got way out of my level of coding way too fast. Maybe in the future I'll revisit that, but not for now.

Looking at the code, they are classified as being "tf_zombie"s. That's my reasoning behind it.

To answer your questions, no. I will not be making maps for this mod. However, there are instructions in the README.txt that guide people through adding support for other maps by copy/pasting a few lines of code. As I said above, this should work for any map that is compatible with Team Fortress 2, with the exception of Mann vs Machine.

As I said, I will not be making maps for this gamemode, but anybody who wants to could add support for this, so if someone were to make a map, it would be easy for them to make it into a zombie apocalypse. This is not in any way a "mod," in fact, I consider it more of a base for people to work off of, create their own zombie gamemodes, maps, boss fights, and whatever the hell else they want.

That would be interesting, but I'm considering doing something with an Arena map and the neglected "Skeleton King" from the most recent Scream Fortress. It'd be sort of like a boss fight, although I would still have to work out a few things for that.

Thanks for the feedback! This is my first time doing something like this, and I'm happy to have some helpful criticism.

This is actually what I based the initial experience off of. I wanted to make something that would allow for people to experience those feelings. In fact, for most of my testing, I had "Who Will Save You Now," the song used in Part 2, playing in the background. As for the dark levels, I do think you're right about that. Upward and Process do not have the sort of environment one would expect from a Apocalypse (although Kong King does), and I truly have no idea why I chose those two maps for this gamemode. However, in the README.txt included in this mod, there are fairly simple steps detailing how to add support for any map compatible with TF2, with the exception of maybe MvM maps.

This is actually something that I tried to create in this gamemode, but, this being my first time doing something like this, I was unable to. It is quite possible that something like that is possible, but I'll remind you that everything in the gamemode operates out of about 2 config files. I'm limited to using the basic commands that come with the source engine/tf2. I know that it's possible to spawn a "super zombie," such as the Skeleton King from the latest update, but I don't know how I would cause that to happen using the console commands.

The four player limit is meant to encourage the players to voice chat, to get to know each other, and how the others will react. As I found out, making it through Upward is incredibly difficult when I'm playing with people I don't know. I based this part of it off of MvM, in how you would get a party of people together to play it.

Although I see your logic, this gamemode is incredibly easy to install on any server (it was even designed to work on listen servers). It does most of the work for opening the server up to the public, although some minor things like port forwarding will have to be done manually. When I was testing the configs, all I had to do was "exec base" on my listen server and my server, and tada, anyone who wanted could join.

Again, thanks for your feedback, and I'll look into adding some of your ideas in the future.

This video shows off the new gamemode I created. All it is is a simple config file that the server downloads, and executes, allowing for anyone connected to play in a Zombie Apocalypse, without any download required by the client.

From "About.txt": "The game is a four player co-op match where you attempt to complete the original objective of the map. In Upward, you push the cart, in Process, you capture the 3 control points, in King, you try to capture the control point and survive for 3 minutes. Unfortunately, in Apocalypse Rising, the players are hindered by zombies. These zombies spawn in groups of 6, every 20 seconds. Not only that, but each player only has one life per match, adding to the overall difficulty. [There are 3 maps that have support included in this, Upward, Kong King, and Process, all of which represent a different difficulty. Included in the readme file are instructions for adding compatibility to new maps.]

Apocalypse Rising was created in order to give clients a fun, easy way to play TF2 as a zombie game. The policy I had when making this was that I wanted there to be absolutely no download on the client's end, and that policy has held up until the end.

I'll take a moment here to say that Apocalypse Rising is completely open source, just read the configs to see what's happening, and feel free to change or add stuff to it.. Maybe I'll even make a video on that."

Thank you for looking at this. -Gideon Seymour
