The prop menu

[Meltdown]

I was wondering if there was place for prop menu.

The idea is pretty simply enable a menu where people can buy certain props from the money they got, because if people can spawn a prop it would enable far more options on hard to cade spots or cade maps with less cades this making people spread more over the map and making people stick less to one certain spot round after round and make some maps more attractive to play which might result in far wider map rotation.

Disable the menu for ZE which is pretty clear and like Parachute just disable it on certain maps where you can say for sure it will not be needed or defiantly will make it too hard for zombies. Also limited the purchases by making to props expensive so u cannot spam the props, people should give it a thought what they buy and which situation requires which prop, like big doorway with only coke vends lets spawn a bookshelf or a place with only a bookshelf and a cough lets spawn a coke vend etc


Look I can already dream of the reactions of, just leave zm the way it is it is fine, yes it is fine I'm just trying to give it some thought how it might improve, I think with this we might be able to get more zm maps to work and especially for the die hard cade lovers who are constantly follow by noobs or noobs who come like sheeps to the same spot over and over again, giving the people more to play with enables people to spread more. And since there many people on IBIS who like to solo cade this might be a very good side option.

Of course if people have some addition to this feel free to share your thought.

no.

it's been brought up before.

[Meltdown]

no.

it's been brought up before.

Can u explain what the reason why it was no, because i wasn't around then.

We dont need to make it easier for people to cade crouch spots, and get enough people in a room and the cade would be invincible. Its highly unnecessary, just use the props given, thats how the maker wanted you to play the map, not to be able to spawn your own barricades.

Makes it kinda easy to cadebreak. Prop up onto insanely high rooftops that never were intended to be used, and then troll any other player trying to prop themselves up. I know I do it on other servers. It's hilarious. And damned annoying.

Also, if you got a whole orgy of people, I don't think it's right to have 5 vending machines spawned. Or any prop in that matter. Players should learn to make do with what props the map gives them.


There are probably tons of other reasons that I won't get into; these are the quickest that come to mind.

[Meltdown]

Yes that is true bane can understand that, First of all you might want to limited the usage of props to 1, so you can only select one prop from the menu secondly you can code the menu that you don''t need to have a vending machine in it, Well and aren't there admins to prevent people from cading crouch spots.

Things that come to mind is like bookshelf or a small cabinet etc, just giving an extra prop for a spot that is otherwise hard to cade. I think but you never know how it will developed in usage, if you code it good you will give people more space to play with.

@ blackout I know map makers personally and there are allot of maps that are not made with the thought of zombie classes and parachute this making allot of spots useless, that is what I want to compensate.

[Rezel]

It won't work, seeing as we already have way to many good players the zombies would be an extreme disadvantage if we were able to barricade some messed up zones. Also on that same note it totally throws off the balance of the server meaning we would have to re work it, honestly it's not worth the effort or time for something which will make zombies unable to get the humans.

[Chef C Green]

no.

no. (There an echo in here )

Cade maps have props already on them... adding additional props to these areas would make ALREADY OP cades impossible to break. For the spots that you may feel could use some more props, go to another spot. Some spots are meant for team cooperation, others are meant for holding out alone.

In addition to this, it would cause more problems than it solved (referring to blackout's thoughts on crouch spot cading, OP cades, etc.).

i dnt like the idea honestly. and im a guy usually pro-change in zm...

[Meltdown]

Ok all understandable, Just want to add one thing, people who keep brining the argument up of props that already on the map, this is total irrelevant argument. If you think of most maps are made when there was no zombie classes aspect, aka speed zombie, high jump zombie then u already know there maps out there whit total useless cading spots.

But I'm fine with all the arguments whatsoever for me it is not really that big deal I just like to see more usage of some maps who have great potential.
