  • Taking a break

    Just to let everyone know, i am taking a break from the community for a while, ive been running it and supporting Sammys-ZPS for a good 7 years+ now, and as much as i want to be involved in expanding the community i just need to take a step away. i will still be on from time to time but i wont be involved with any management.


    Due to the recent changes with the community and changes of permissions and privileges me and verg have decided to give admins, (which we hope to make the server run with less issues with player behaviour, player bans, any admin abuse that may occur, and a better understand of rules in the server for all) i should not need to get involed with day to day issues the wonderfull world of sammys-zps can usually offer. Verg has full control and the person to report to with any server related questions / additions to the community from now on !.

  • Server Stability / Forum Change

    Just so people know the issues, the New dedicated server is crashing, quite alot...which means it takes down the EU servers and Website for a good 10-15 mins. As there are no logs into why its crashing, i am taking the EU servers down ( UK will be up still dont worry! ) and will see how things go ( auto restart now works on these too :) ). the issues seems to have arisen since i put the ZPS servers in place there ( As we had some test mine craft servers running for 2-3 weeks without a crash ).


    I am sorry all, but when things are stable i can finally work on expanding games and adding a lot more new features to all servers :) and get the community expanding !


    As for the Forum, I updated the Linux box this website is running on, which updated ... alot of things. which broke the original apache install ( as this was updated ) and this forum software was not a happy bunny, almost all permissions and dynamic content was destroyed and was pretty much impossible to fix.


    but hopefully the issues where linked to the ZPS servers and the Windows VPS it was running on.

  • Medic 2.0

    Fungrades Medic Feature - 2.0


    The new medic mod is (currently) a session based Upgrade system, which
    allows you to upgrade your medic abilities differently each time you
    play.


    There are 4 Upgrades;


    Heal Total


    Upgrading this will increase the total amount of healing you can give yourself and others around you in any one round.


    Heal Rate


    The Heal Rate upgrade will heal both yourself and others around you faster.


    Total Cures


    Total cures will increase your cures by 1 per upgrade point spent.


    Cure Chance


    Starting at 35%. Each upgrade will increase the chance of a successful Cure by 15%.


    You will level up by doing well in a round, EXP Is calculated from all
    stats. So make sure you cure and heal your fellow survivors if you want
    to increase in rank!


    How to be a Medic


    Once in game, type !medic to assign ( previous questions will return! i know people loved them )


    To Heal: Stand near a wounded player ( Glowing Red ) to heal automatically. Brighter the Red Glow = More wounded they are!


    To Cure: Once a Fellow survivor has been infected, they will show
    up BLUE. To Cure, Press E when standing next to them. Your cure will
    take 5 seconds and, with any luck, Cure them!
