The Undead Mod

[GODSPEEDSNAKE 12]

Charon Productions,

I have been working on a mission using this mod and the USS Nimitz addon, everything seems to be working fine with the mod until I put a Nimitz on the map!?!?! Any idea if this mod or the addon would be at fault and what on earth could be causing such a thing???

Guys, I have to be doing something VERY wrong. I just bought the game today, basically just for this mod. I messed around with the editor than downloaded the mod. Here's what I did.

1. Placed the Undead-Infected module

2. Placed an infected in a town.

3. Created a group of civilians

4. Created a unit, that I would play as.

I hit preview, and all the civilians and zombies just stand there. The infected don't attack the civilians, nor I. Any idea what I did wrong. I probably missed something dumb and obvious.

Did you put down the Undead module and the infected module, or just the infected module?

Also, did you buy just OA or Arma 2?

[Craig_VG 20]

The Undead module is the infected module.

Toss down the Infected module, a single infected, and the Spawn module. It should then work.

If you want slow zombies put down the Zombies Module, a single zombie unit, and the spawn module.

It's just Arma 2. I did what both of you say and they just stand there. The zombies don't attack anyone.

Sorry for the double post and all, but adding that file hasn't seem to have done anything.

[dissaifer 10]

Sorry about that... try this

No change, the zombies still seem to just stand there.

Did you go into the 'Intel' box in the top right, and change the 'IndFor Friendly to' to nobody? That could be the problem.

Oops, Mission Data is something else XD Fixed it >_>;

Wow, I'm terrible at this, I can't find where the Mission Data box is at.

[dissaifer 10]

it is the box on the right hand side at the top where the first word is "INTEL" you can click on the box and you'll see some options.

[jmol 10]

Changed IndFor Friendly to nobody, they still stand there.

[dissaifer 10]

can you zip and upload your mission? The only other thing I can think to check is that you have the 'zombie' module on a woman (there is a problem with that) but I'm guessing that's not it

Question 1: what version of the undead mod do u have?

Question 2: does the spawn module spawn zombies?

Statement 1: it might have something to do with the fact that u only have Arma 2.

Statement 2: best thing to do is upload your mission.

Thanks!

Question 1: .84

Question 2: It doesn't seem like it.

I gave it a whirl.

I started the game with only arma 2. Not combined ops.

The file you gave me worked just fine, both with zombies and with infected.

Do you have a pbo file in your addon folder for the zombie mod that says something like "undead control"? That would probably mess it up as its for the .90 version of the mod, which is very buggy.

Also do you have a pbo in the addon folder that says "chn_undead_misc.pbo"? That should be there also.

The mission is fine, so it must be something with your addon, or how you put it in the folder.

I hope this helps!

Hmm yes I hope he returns too, I would like to get my hands on this V9.0 for a mission that has been in waiting for a year. Hope things work out for him, and his not finding it too tough out there.

Anyway, a problem I brought up earlier that sort of fixed but still isn't favorable. I want one certain AI unit to be immune to zombie attacks, not only by note getting infected, but by not getting any physical damage from their melee attacks. I sort of got this fixed thanks to a tip from someone I forget the name of (Sorry whoever you are). Anyway I looped this script for the character:

#start

~.01

CptnDonnan setdamage 0;

CptnDonnan setVariable ["CHN_UNDEAD_INFECTED",false,true];

goto "start";

;

This USUALLY made him immune, sometimes he still died, but it worked at least 90% of the time. However, when the AI unit was crowded by at least 4 zombies, he would go to prone and would not get up even after they were gone. He was not injured, yet still wouldn't rise even after using several commands such as unitpos up etc. So I team switched to him, and found that not even I could force him up, was stuck in prone the whole time. This is problematic as there is a "running" sequence later on. Thanks for taking the time to read.

^ Godspeedsnake, sorry I'm not a 100% sure what is wrong. Are you running other mods? Also, if you are using the "zombie module" rather than "infected module" and there are female units on the map, if they become infected that will cause a crash due to their inability to utilize the slow zombie (Zombie) animations, they can only do fast zombie running animations (Infected).

Bezzy,

I am running other mods though EVERYTHING works fine without the zombie module and say 1 zombie on the map, then add the module and zombie crash, then i take JUST the USS Nimitz off the map and volla she works like a charm, for some reason the ACTUAL zombie module and the USS nimitz can't be on the map together... Bum's me right out as to why!!!

JMOL,

Did you set in the mission intel for independents to be friendly to NO ONE?

Yeah, I loaded it up as well. No issues. I don't think you had a problem installing the addon because there are zombies there (the mission is kinda funny btw because the civs don't run).

Anyway, I would just delete the addon, get it from armaholic, and reinstall. You probably have a corrupt file.

All the files are there, I am going with the recommendation to delete, and re download from armaholic. I hope this works.

Update: No luck with deleting and reinstalling the add-on. This is very frustrating.

[Craig_VG 20]

It's also very strange. I'll look for a download link for .90...

Edit: can't seem to find one...

i have arma 2 operation arrowhead and i understand this mod isnt compatible for arrowhead but ive heard that their is someway of tweaking the mod so it works on arrowhead, is this true and if so, how?

[dissaifer 10]

If you have arma 2, then it does "work." Its' just that the zombies that kill Takistanis will get up as Cheranus (spelling?) looking zombies.

If you don't have arma 2 you have to change the config settings to reference the "OA" characters. You'll lose all the artwork that Charon did, but the functionality would still work.

[jmol 10]

I still can't get the mod to function, any ideas guys?

[Craig_VG 20]

Do the missions that came with the mod work?
