I was wondering if anyone with programming experience could make a zombie mod for close combat: modern tactics. There could be some serious strategy to holding a perimeter against waves of the undead. Just a thought.

A rough one could be made.. no question,,,

Theyd have to be equipped strictly with modified and very effective mellee weapon (redo the weapon file) youd also have to equip them with very good protection, so tough to kill.. and even probably tone down effectiveness of the non zombie weapons as compensation.

Redo a sound file for them with moans and groans...

A big problem is they still would still move like regular soldiers.

How long woudl the playability be for this though really?? Mind you I am the one who made the Gilligans Island, Jethro and Louisiana Swamp Jamboree mods for CC3! Wink

I don't have programming experience to make a mod, but would like to find someone who could. There could be some serious replayability. If you have ever read World War Z by Max Brooks or played zombie mode on Call of Duty: World at War, you might see the point slightly.

You could have objectives, like evacuating people on apc's or on foot, clearing out infested areas, defending fortresses from zombie waves, and leading a massive military retreat while calling in fire support on a merciless horde. You could even redo snipers and make a farmhouse with a small band of individuals fighting in a Night of the Living Dead mission. This would definitely be a unique mod.

Lastly, think of the fun of multiplayer. There could be a tactical doctrine for using zombies in an assualt.

Max brooks is a genius.

You'd have to have a small map, with limited ammo, otherwise you'll run circles around them.

If anyone reading this knows how to make mods and makes a zombie mod, then they will earn my gratitude.

COD WAR is "Nazi Zombies" and its a blast!!

Its not tough to make the what I outlined, but I dont have, nor am I the slightest interesteed in getting MT. I could do this for CC3 or CC5...

Your talking abvout, with trial and erro maybe a couple of hpours of work for the data change to achieve this.. you simply add a few small maps and mae as many scenarios as you want.. its not tough at all.

Consider how few mods there are for MT and youll see the old supply and demand answer, not many modders because its not a popular version of the game.

I might buy cc5, but all I have is that and cc2. Is there any place that will teach me how to make mods? I have zero programming experience.

I've always wanted a Starship Troopers scenario and have discussed it over a year ago on another CC forum, but I think it's impossible to model with the current hardcoded limitations of the CC engine. As far as I know, it's impossible to make a unit 'fearless' so you zombies will pretty much always drop for cover in the middle of an assault or break and panic - which is quite un-zombie like.

Though I could be mistaken.

If someone could help me I would be interested in making a mod. I have some military training coming up and won't be able to work on it for a while, but would like to when I get back. If someone would help with programming, I could invent a campaign. Battlemaker would be fun too, pitting tanks or whatever you want against the undead.

Capcom will sue my ass.....

Heres a couple of things to throw out there

To balance any clitches in game performance:

Make the non zombie teams only 2 or 3 soldiers, while the zombies are larger.. AGAIN, only if theres a big non balance.

Im thinking how much fun it woudl be PLAYING AS THE ZOMBIES.

Obviously limited if any armour or arty to balance things.....

For CC5 small maps only and the entire map is a small town joined together. I have doen this before with projects of mine. I am willing to make all the maps if soemone else codes them. Small town heavy maps is in theory soemthign that could make the fight more balanced or perhaps in the favour of bigger units on the zombie side.

Oh... Ill keep them coming

THANK YOU! i really want to play a mod like that, just have to get through basic training first. would the mod allow for custom battles? I think that that and a campaign would make it interesting.

How can I gain access to the game for modding though? I would really like to be able to learn how to make mods. I only have cc2 and ccmt, but am going to buy cc3 and cc5 to try that mod. sounds really fun so far.

Lastly, custom maps could be made. a shopping mall map would be ironic, or defending a bridge against zombies.

It will be fun to have a zombie tactical doctrine.

I just found out how much cc3 and cc5 cost, and it was a little over $50. cc3 was $60 something, practically extortion. I might still buy cc3 just because of your mod. I do have cc2 though, and am attempting to mod it.

Where can I find the files that you used to change weapon and melee effectiveness? Also, can I use a paint application to change the look of my soldiers? Thanks.

Im testing V1 of the zombies tonight.

Basic stuff: VARIABLES

Zombie Melee added to weapons

Zombie replaces German Inf team, all equipped with Zombie Melee only

Using small City map, more cover and crannies means better chance zombies dont get cut down in long LOS

I figure Ill need to modify the zombie protection and make the weapons that will be used agaisnt them weaker. But before I do that Im simply going to take teams of only 2 or 3 soliders in RR (Russian side) and see how they do at this basic step.

Ill let you know how it goes.

sounds good so far. leave for basic training on wednesday, so will have to spend 8 weeks wondering how the mod is.
