Autohost map suggestion: NOTD Aftermath 1.5 Beta 8

[Terreocti]

Hello. I'd like to recommend NOTD Aftermath to be autohosted by Clan ENT. This map is an old classic that dates from 2006, I believe. Night of the Dead: Aftermath is a zombie, survival, sci-fi map that has been the base for other zombie maps such as Undead Assault II and Dawn of the Dead 6.0. The main aspect of this map is survival and fighting hoards of zombies as a military soldier, whether alone or with a few good men.

There are 2 fire teams (Alpha and Bravo) of the fictional 3rd Platoon, Echo Company, of the U.S. Marine Corps. Players are marines that are deployed first to protect a small village called Ravenholm. Later on, there are various, possible missions such as defending an airfield base, restoration of a power generator, and even fighting against a rogue marine company. One other thing about this map is that there is a save/load system for players (ranking system based on the Marine Corps). Over the course of each game, you will gain experience. Players start as a Private (Pvt.), and with increasing amounts of specific experience you will obtain new ranks. e.g. 1500 exp = LCpl

Enlisted ranks: Pvt, Pfc, LCpl, Cpl, Sgt, SSgt, GySgt
Officer ranks: 2ndLt, 1stLt, Capt, Maj, LtCol, Col, BGen, MajGen, LtGen, Gen

I think if ENT is the first to autohost this map, it will really make a difference on bringing this map to light again. Most of the old NOTDA community has died; however, I've noticed there are still some casual, old players. New players are always welcome, though. And if they get a chance to play, then that's one of the best things in the world: a new experience to something old.



P.S. Minimum of 4 players is sufficient. Oh, and here's a link to the map itself: http://www.epicwar.com/maps/95640/

Edit: Thanks for autohosting it. But, there seems to be a technical problem. It says, "Failed to authorize map" when I join.

Accepted. 0 games so far, please reply if there is an error with the setup.

seems i have the same problem when i join game and i guess there's something wrong with either the map file or the bot (ENT21)

PS
i think NotD3 is more popular than NotD:AM. i'd like to see it autohosted if possible since many players still play this map.

weird, it shows the same error message "Failed to authorize map" when i join game

i guess i sent a bugged version earlier (really sorry for that if true), maybe this version will work :>

Oh, sorry, in that case it's a different problem, I will try to fix it.
Edit: hopefully it works now?

[IDe]

yes, now its working, thanks a lot
but .. somebody just told me that's the bugged version of NotD3, can u change the map file again :>

[IDe]

hmm, those versions on epic war seems awkward, sorry for the wrong epicwar links i sent :<
and the bot seems to have the right version, i can load it with "!map Night-of-the-Dead-III.E.w3x",
or this is the same version on makemehost

edit: the wave messages are bugged in the F version, and there are 2 game modes missing.

Might as well change the topic's title to "Autohost map suggestion: Night of the Dead III".
