ZMod Rank Balancing

[ZERO]

Yes body shots is correct. Currently the default game only gives them for HS so I made a mod a long time ago to give them to body shots but it does not work very well and also stacks on HS. I will be making a new one from scratch.

So were getting back the old deformed?!?!?

What was the difference?

the old deform was very strong and everyone feared it because it had hardly any knockback. Now its just useless because of how slow it is plus theres more knockback then before.

Old deformed did rape... quite hard too if i remember haha. I kinda don't mind where we're at with the deformed to be honest. It's not as good at getting in to crouch spots alone (unless you're starter with the 13k hp), but it can be a great way to start off a Z-train into a tube or something (once you get the first 2-3 zombies behind ya, ztele and save yourself for another cade). The speed is slow for sure on the cade maps but when bhopping through escapes it makes good time compared with other classes. Slight increase on the speed for cade maps would be nice just to get around the map though =\.

On a side note, this class is EXTREMELY slow in the vents, dunno if that could be bumped up separately from when not crouching? or that may be a valve limitation?

or.... just bring back the old deformed which was the best class

It was the best for a reason, it was a tad OP . If it works better with the new adjustments being made, I'm all for it. If it becomes too powerful though, we're just gonna find ourselves right back in here (except there will be whiners rather than civilized, rational players ).

In the next few days a major change will be made to knockback. It was originally programmed to make things more manageable but it is clear from the code it is a clusterfuck. I will be updating the code so that knockback will work as it did in the original ZM.

FUCKING RIGHT! Thank you Zero! Also, great work with the Zspawn. It's working very well.

To kill the old deformed required teamwork and this new deformed requires none.

I'm assuming this is gonna fix (hopefully) the issue with hitboxes vanishing into the ceiling when players are bhopping in crouch spots to hide them from humans? More knockback for body shots?

Somewhat, but not really.

That's bullshit. I rape with the new deformed. It only has more KB because it's headshot KB was increased, which it needed. Now when the new KB mod is in place, it may need a bit of a buff.
