Vote ZP!S for ModDB 2016 MOTY!
Once again we'll need your help with voting ZP!S for ModDB 2016 MOTY! As stated in the previous announcement, due to us winning previous awards we may only be eligible for an honarable mention. Nonetheless, that would still be just as wonderful. We're asking that you please take a moment to cast your vote for us again as well as your other favorite mods, we'd greatly appreciate it.
As another little bonus, we'd like to give you a little more info regarding v3.0 and its progress.
New Item Sharing Feature
One of the new features we'll be adding with the release of v3.0 is the ability to share weapons and ammo with a specific person who is requesting them via the voice commands.
How it work is the person who needs a weapon or ammo opens up the voice command menu and uses the appropriate voice command to request it.
Then a player can hand them a weapon or ammo by looking directly at the person requesting it and pressing the key to drop ammo or weapons when within range.
This will give the item directly to the person requesting it instead of dropping it on the ground. That way it goes directly to the intended person and nobody can steal it. Or if you're in a location where there's a risk you'll lose the item if you drop it, you can hand it to your teammate instead as long as they request it. If they don't have room you won't give them the weapon or any more ammo and you'll drop it on the ground instead. You can also only give them one item at a time so you can not grief someone by giving them a bunch of weapons or ammo to slow them down.
Source Code Rewrite
We were given the source code some months ago by Monochrome Inc. so that we could continue development on ZP!S. It comes as no surprise that the code is quite outdated, and thus a lot of things were broken on the new engine and required fixing.
Now after a month of testing this port and continuously running into an odd server crash that we can't find the cause of as well as some other minor issues, we've decided that it would be best to completely rewrite the source code. This way errors because of outdated code will likely not be an issue anymore, and our programmer will be able to figure out what's causing the crashes or other issues as he makes changes/additions. So at this point it's no longer a port, it's a complete rewrite of the source code from scratch.
Don't panic though! This will not delay the release of v3.0 for very long. In fact some testing can still continue while the code is being rewritten, and we'll be completely back on track in no time.
Unfortunately we still do not have a release date to announce for v3.0, nor even an estimate. We need to put everything through the proper amount of testing before we're ready and can be certain of a release date.
Removal of ZPA Gamemode in v3.0
We're going to be removing the ZPA gamemode from the v3.0 release for several different reason. The main reason being that the gamemode is broken on the new engine and will require a lot of time and effort to fix. ZPA is also not very popular or practical so we thought it'd be best if we focused our effort on making sure everything else in ZP!S was functioning properly instead.
We also feel like the gamemode itself doesn't make a whole lot of sense and could be much better developed. We either want to revamp ZPA completely, or possibly replace it with a completely different gamemode that maybe draws some inspiration from what ZPA was.
We're very sorry if this disappoints any of you, but it's for the best. Whatever we decide on doing, it will be much better than before.

Nominations Have Begun For The ModDB 2016 MOTY! + V3.0 Previews
Hello, everyone!
The Phase 1 Nominations for the ModDB 2016 MOTY began a few days ago and will be open until December 11th. So go and vote for your favorite mods to give them a chance to make it into the Top 100 and be eligible to enter into Phase 2 of voting to become MOTY. As courtesy of ModDB, members from the community who vote have a chance to win a game from ModDB's #modlove collection. Be sure to register an account for a chance to win! You're not required to be registered to vote though, so if you don't want to make an account you can still vote.
As a bonus, we'd like to share some screenshots with you to give you a preview of what's to come. It's important to note that this is all still work in progress, so it's still under development and subject to change. What you see here is by no means the final product for the release of v3.0.
Improved Animations
Below you can see the early stages of a big feature that we're very excited about: improved animations! No longer will the survivors use those klunky, old HL2/HL2MP animations. We're now employing animations modified from DoD:Source, which ships with Source SDK, with noticeable improvements in weapon wielding and movement.
Cascaded Shadow Mapping
Cascaded Shadow Mapping is another huge feature we've hinted at previously, and we think you'll be pleased with the progress. CSM allows us to give a fresh breath of life to our existing maps, giving them crisp shadows and making them look more natural. To use CSM you'll need at least Direct X 9.0c or higher.
Here's some previews of CSM:

Zombie Panic! Source coming to Source Engine 2013!
Hello Everyone,
Our team has some excited and long-awaited news to share with you! After years of delays and putting the development on hold many times, ZPS on Source 2013 is finally happening!
Before we get into the details of what this will mean for the game, we must introduce our newest programmer, who offered to do the port of SDK 2007 to the latest Source Engine version SDK 2013, and is willing to support ZPS even more: Jonnyboy0719, from BrainBread2! He has been doing outstanding work porting this game to a proper build, fixing up lots of old bugs, issues and critical glitches from the old engine and making this happen for us!
So let's get to the news and what this means for the community.
Source 2013 was released awhile ago by Valve, and we were working on a port already back in 2014, which would be the release of ZPS 2.5 that never went further because of delays and other problems that the team had to face.
Now, with this new engine running on our upcoming build, we're excited to introduce the following:
Better optimization, fixed memory leaks and multi-core rendering, making the game run smoother, faster and more stable, for both players and servers.
Proper Linux support for dedicated servers.
Fixes of old engine bugs and glitches that were causing the game crash or close itself.
Better Hit-registration and lag compensation.
Better Steampipe.
Working achievements.
If everything goes as planned, we'll be releasing these features in ZPS v3.0, along with other improvements, as soon as possible. For now, enjoy this small teaser, showcasing the alpha state of ZPS 3.0
Meet Pedro: our newest Survivor!
Pedro was in development for a long time back in 2011, by our 3D artist EArkham. He's a ex-drug dealer from Mexico before the apocalypse started, and we'll make you guys finally meet him in-game sooner than you think! Here are some previews of what he looks like:
New Engine means major changes!
Since this is a totally new engine port, basically rewriting the game from scratch, Jonnyboy will be doing his best to make everything work how it is supposed to be working in ZPS. However, like we mentioned above, some things had to be changed, which will affect some custom content that was compiled for the Source SDK 2007.
This will affect all of the custom maps and content as they will be incompatible with the new engine. The major changes on the port is a flip of the names/numbers that determine how your map reads the Teams (Human, Zombie and the Spec). Technically speaking, if any map running the entities: "filter_activator_team" and "func_ladder"; and was compiled in SDK 2007, it will be unplayable in ZPS 3.0 version.
But don't PANIC! yet. if you're reading this, are a community mapper and still active, then don't worry, the changes that have to be made are small and easy to do. We'll create a guide explaining how to do these small changes on your map, recompile it properly to be compatible and ready for the future release in no time! We're informing you now so that you have time to prepare but as we are not fully done with the build, other requirements needed to make maps work on the engine may be discovered. If so, we will inform you in due time.
New Upcoming Maps!
Speaking of maps, this update will include two old, popular community maps, made official: Zomboeing and FrozenHeart! Both objective, having lots of additional details and other changes that have improved the gameplay and look of the maps. We would like to thank Ratboy and Darb Dude for doing an amazing job on bringing back Zomboeing as an fully-fledged and incredibly entertaining experience!
And also, releasing bunch of maps improvements & fixes on other stock maps, introducing our first official Hardcore map, zph_pithole, by Xufe!
Improved Server Security - The days of malicious crashes are behind us.
One of the most important changes in this update is the solution to the age-old exploit that has been used to carry out server attacks for years. This behavior is not something we want to see carried over to the new build.
To help secure the community until the new build is ready, we've set up a Server Setup and Security threads. With the help of the community, their threads will help you secure your server to deal with the attacks to the best of the current engines ability.
When will this update roll out?
After all this information, you guys might be asking yourself: update, when!? As we've mentioned, the build is currently in Alpha state, and our team is doing our best to bring you guys this update as quick as possible. The update is focused on bringing stability and security to the game, adding a bunch of new content is something our team wishes to do but we won't let it prolong the release date of this crucial update.
Future updates, that will introduce more new content and tweaks, will be shared with you as always through our announcements.
In the meantime, share these exciting news with your old friends through Steam, Facebook and even on Twitter! Tell them that ZPS is coming back in a more secure and stable state than ever seen before.
The next announcement will be the changelog of the ZPS 3.0 build. Looking forward to it! We sure are.

Zombie Panic Status
Hello everyone! We hope that you are all enjoying the new update. With the help from you, the community, we have been able to fix a lot of issues with the stock map rotation. An effort that is long overdue.
We understand that there may be some confusion as to who this new development team is, and what we are planning on bringing to the game.
What we're up to?
We are a team of volunteers within the community who reached out to Monochrome, explaining to them that Zombie Panic! Source was in dire of development support, and if they wouldn't be able to support it in the near future, the community should be allowed to update the game on their behalf. Monochrome has agreed to this and the team now has the access necessary to make updates go live. However, our team still lacks access to the source code of ZPS, rendering us unable to make any changes that require coding. Monochrome is working on providing us with the source code. We'd like to return this game to its former glory with fixes, new content and proper engine support whenever possible!
We won't promise you guys updates unless we are absolutely sure that they'll happen. However, we will be doing our best to bring fixes and new content to the game. What we can promise is another maps update, which will bring similar fixes and improvements to the rest of the stock rotation. We can't say when this update will happen but we are working on it. There still exist age-old problems with this game that need to be fixed and we are aware of it. For now, enjoy this first updated half of the maps and some teaser of what's coming up!
Visit our forums!
Another thing that we will be focusing on is active engagement with the community, along with frequent updates about development status - Even if that status may seem dead in the water at times. We feel that communication with the community is crucial which is why we encourage you guys to share your ideas with us on our forums!
So come share your ideas for new features and content for Zombie Panic! Source here!
We check these threads frequently and we do take any idea presented into consideration.
PS: The next update will have some changes on your .cfg files as well as including an additional file called autoexec.cfg, so better do some backup now somewhere and save all your game commands and binds in there when the next update goes live. I've created this basic guide on how to do it:

Thank you for reading,

Contagion - Biotec, Stone Creek, and more in July Update!
ZPS is something we WILL come back to whether it's fixing, polishing, and moving to 2013 or something more. But thought you'd guys would be interested in our update with the just released remake of Biotec and Harvest is not that far behind.
As promised we've released our much anticipated Zombie Panic: Source Biotec Remake (Escape & Hunted Game-Modes), Stone Creek (Escape Game-Mode but in many ways Survival gameplay) the most popular Workshop map now in our Official rotation, our new Melee System that is not only much more user friendly but now with bladed weapons can more than cut off limbs but now decapitate zombies as well!
Of course we updated all existing maps with improvements, optimization, bug fixes, and exploits being removed.
Here is a look at these new maps!
Contagion - Biotec
Once again seek out the experimental vaccine that may hold the key humanities very survival! But it would seem that Biotec security was unable to either handle the horde invading... or was it from within?
Contagion - Stone Creek
With the most subscribers on Workshop and our promise to bring the communities favorites into the Official rotation (with permission of author) we're happy to include the very claustrophobic, classic survival like Escape map "Stone Creek" in our Official list of maps!
Check out what went out in our July update!
July 31st Update - Changelog:
Added new map Biotec (Escape & Hunted Game-Modes)
Added new map by popularity from Workshop Stone Creek (Escape Game-Mode)
Added gasmask objective item that prevents harmful chemicals from affecting player
Added gasmask voice muffling for survivors
Added Keycard objective item for unlocking security doors
Added keycard entity system for mappers
Added Zombie Decapitation with bladed weapons (Kabar not included)
Updated Melee System (WIP for balance) with decapitation
Improved navigation mesh for all existing maps
Changes to networking system in an attempt to fix LAN related issues
Kill Cam with the above mentioned bladed weapons also decapitate zombies when using stealth kill
Fixed weapon holstering issues
Fixed exploits, issues, and bugs on all maps from bug reports by the community (Thank you!)

There will be other updates before and after as well as a second Free DLC bundle with amount of content not too long after but this in no way impedes our ability to further optimize and improve our game.
