After an extended development time, I finally decided to just release what was done as an open beta. It was taking so long that it was starting to stress me out.
Anyhow, this is a beta, so it's lacking a little bit of polish. There are a few minor cosmetic things that I need to change, such as team names and flag icons, but those don't directly affect gameplay so I'll figure out how to change them later. There might be a couple bugs, but I tried to get rid of most of them.
At the moment, I don't want this submitted to any mod news sites. It's a bit too rough for that.
Requirements:
BF2 fully patched
FH2 fully patched
Installation instructions, this is VERY important:
The folder "FH2Zombies" goes into the EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods folder, obviously.
In order to launch the mod, you MUST configure and use the provided shortcut.
Right click the shortcut, and go to properties. Make sure the target location points to your FH2.exe, NOT THE BF2.exe.
Here is what my shortcut looks like. You absolutely must have the +modpath line at the end.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\FH2.exe" +modPath mods/fh2zombies
Once this is done, you can apply the provided FH2Z icon image to the shortcut if you want. Just click the change icon button, and navigate into the FH2 Zombies mod folder and it should show up.
Please read the readme for other important information, such as co-op settings.
Just as a heads up, due to certain problems I had, the default player team is always the zombie side. Just switch to the survivor side and everything will be fine.
It has been a while, and I completely forgot if I included anyone elses content in the mod. I'm pretty sure I made all the textures in this version myself, but if you spot something that you definitely made, let me know and I'll credit you. I also kind of.. forgot to credit myself. lol.
Things I'm aware of:
Zombie and Survivor teams are currently "America and Germany" respectively. Needs renaming.
Flag icons are American and German, instead of survivor and zombie. (I need to find out why I cant save the flag icon dds.)
There might be a crash on Eppeldorf if you play with survivor bots. But it seems to work fine with just zombies. This is probably due to the push mode.
If you find any bugs, let me know.
Things I have planned:
Convert all of the maps.
Add additional "fun" things to the maps. Right now quite a few have a stock selection.
Bring back the old sprinting system. No more infinite sprint.
Make zombies walk faster. (possibly)
Find out why I can't save my custom flag icons.
Rename sides.
More polish all around.
If there are any major bugs, I will fix them as soon as possible and release a patch.
Multiplayer:
Me and Havocide were planning on renting an actual server for this, but there were money problems.
For now, I highly recommend using tunngle (http://www.tunngle.net/). It's far more stable than hamachi. Just set up a "local" server and you and your friends can start playing.

The old thread has even more buried in it.
Hopefully everything works right and you guys enjoy what's done so far! There may not be as much unique equipment as I had wanted, but there's still plenty of zombies to bully! And they seem a bit smarter in this version too.
By the way, there's only one easter egg in this version. It's a vehicle. Depending on how much you like Japanese stuff, you may be shocked or delighted. ;)

Having trouble with the shortcut. I have bf2 for steam, can anyone post a screenshot of what the shortcut address should look like? Thanks!
EDIT: I have
Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2\FH2.exe" +modPath mods/fh2zombies
Start: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2\mods"
When I open the shortcut, it asks me if I want to run the FH2 configuration, and no matter whether I press yes or no, it opens up a dialogue box that says that my fh2config.exe file can't be found, then nothing else happens ???

Should be:

That's all I can think of at the moment, try that.

Downloading. Thanks for your effords ;) Maybe I will post some feedback later on.

The uploader couldn't upload it tonight apparently, so I have to upload to a mirror myself. This will take a while because I have really slow DSL.
Probably 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.

I played a bit on Vossenack so far. The Zombie AI seems to work well, they try to defend and even attack the crossed out main base. The survivor AI on the other hand bugs around a bit and does not try to cap something nor does it spawn on the SL. I like the new vehicles and it is really good to have FH2 Zombies back. One weapon that you could maybe buff or remove would be the PzB39. Maybe you could modify it to have better or at least the same precision as the K98 because in Zombie mode, it is even worse than versus tanks in Africa.
Really good work :)

Yeah, I didn't really test the survivor AI. In order to get the zombies to ignore the flags I had to remove the code for them. Which also makes survivors ignore them. :P
I added the Pzb to be an analogue to the ptrd, and yeah it could probably use some buffing.

EDIT:
Does your normal fh2 shortcut work?
-
A friend of mine has a non working FH2 shortcut. He just started Vanilla and joined my server so that the games started the mod by itself.
-
I suppose you could launch the mod from in-game. I can't even remember why the shortcut was needed in the first place..
Something about shaders? I don't know.

yes, shader were bugged. eveytime you launch mod from the game, shaders went black and white n shit while aiming.

Yeah the normal shortcut works :(
Perhaps I have the shortcut info wrong. Can someone with the steam version of bf2 copy and paste what they inputted into the shortcut?
-
Does it still mess up the shaders if you start it in the game? I never experienced this since the new version of Forgotten Hope 2; neither does my friend who joined me that way.
-
Havocide says (8:32 PM):
I was going to suggest launching fh2 and switching to zombies from the mod menu, as it uses the same shaders as FH2, it should be fine if you launch it from fh2 and not vBf2, is my thinking

Cant find the jap tank... Is it the PzKpfw IV Ausf. D on Brest with the writing in front of it you are talking about? cant find wake island converted too..
-

No, it's not on Brest.
I think I removed wake island due to problems.
-
Wake Island was always fun to play with friends. Two or three take the flags and one is on the arty or strafes with the P47. The new maps you added are fun too :)
-
Bump. Any chance to get Wake Island working for the new version of the zombie mod? I've heard it is complicated to get an old map into a new version of FH2.
-
I still couldnt find the easteregg tank... :-[ can I have a hint?
-
The thing that most i laughed at was the Matilda in Vossenack that popped molotovs in the air ;D
Excellent mod :D
*The most known bug i know is that Anctoville crashes, in a few minutes in game.

I had to move my bf2 installation somewhere due to running out of space on my drives. The map shouldn't be too hard to convert, but no promise that I can actually get around to it.
Anyhow, I've been too busy lately and haven't been able to work on this. I also ran out of motivation as well.
So from this point on, I consider the mod "open-source" and anyone can continue to mod it and do whatever they want with it. I would recommend renaming it though, to distinguish it from my old version.

"Allied" main on goodwood. The northern one.

Guess I should've tested ancto more. I didn't have a chance to test with multiple people.

Bloody hell I wish I could get this to work.

My feedback/bug reports/suggestions:
Destroyed Zis-5 in France?
(http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/8428/screen304w.jpg)
As you can see here, bots dont really get the vehicles out of the base, sometimes they dont even move. I suggest to remake all bot support since this bug is on all maps:
(http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/5705/screen303.jpg)
Bots dont go over to the south-west corner and dont cap it. The battle does not move. Also if you could give more ammo for the pistols:
(http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/232/screen301.jpg)
Kit icons?:
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7412/screen300.png)
Aghhh, flashlights, pleaaase!
(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/4504/screen302.jpg)
Well, the skin is awesome, but one thing. if you could make the sides of the stars white, that would be much better:
(http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/614/screen299.jpg)
Just like this:
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/URSS-Russian_aviation_red_star.svg/630px-URSS-Russian_aviation_red_star.svg.png)
Awesome Russian skin! One thing, if you could use the Italian helmet (the one the MG kit wears in Italy maps) instead of the US helmet, that would be much better:
(http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/1136/screen298.jpg)
Im a zombie, but I picked up an enfield LOL:

Suggestions:
- Maybe make Eppeldorf 64 also for Russians? That would rock.
- Do you guys have a ModDB page just like NML did? I think if you could start one, that would catch more interest.
-Please remove the irritating sound that starts to play when the survivors got only 10 tickets.
- Enable spawning again on the map Escape from Crete
- You know Omnicide mod for BF2? Here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/omnicide
If you could cooperate with them... Their 3p zombie animations are so cool, and some sounds etc... might be shared.
Cheers
Oh, and I found the easter egg tank, pretty cool ;)

Well, you know, zombies cant drive. ;D you have to become a survivor then hitch a ride to the zombie base ;D
Zombie sniper lol ;D
-
I found it ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
If there is a voulenteer mapper, can he make some city maps with tons of Zombies? I've got a concept.
Its a map where you try to fight while run towards an escape vehicle, just like Escape from Crete. You start in a city, trying to move towards the harbour -where a ship is waiting for you- with limited ammo. There will be zombies waiting around the city, and there are a few ammo boxes scattered around the streets, which is basically a labyrinth kind of thing without the dead ends:
(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/7595/adszkxz.jpg)
the concept is still rough, can be improved vastly. I cant do it myself because I cant map, but if anyone voulenteers, we could get a diamond out of this. :)
-
This is a excellent idea :D
I have posted in the "Modding Q&A" thread, about trying this out. :)
-
Destroyed Zis-5 in France?
Ehh.. well the problem with that and all some of the other Russian equipment I made early on is because I forgot to specify the textures as Russian with the "_ramelle" tag. So instead of being on some maps they're on all of them. Oops. :(
Bots dont go over to the south-west corner and dont cap it. The battle does not move. Also if you could give more ammo for the pistols:
I never really tested survivor bots, and I think they're broken because of changes I had to make to get the zombies to work. I was mostly gearing toward CO-OP play.
Pistols have the default ammo partially because I was lazy and partially to make the map harder. I figured situations where you run out of ammo and desperately flee hoping to find a pick up kit would be more fun. :P
Kit icons?:
The zombie side has no kit icons partially because I was lazy and partially because the zombie side technically isn't intended to be playable.
Aghhh, flashlights, pleaaase!
I ran into a load of problems with those and the end result just didn't seem like it was worth the effort. The beams would just over saturate everything.
Well, the skin is awesome, but one thing. if you could make the sides of the stars white, that would be much better:
I think I just used the FH1 textures as a reference for that star. If someone else wants to do it I'm pretty sure I still have the PSD laying around. That star you posted is also an aviation one according to the filename. :P
Awesome Russian skin! One thing, if you could use the Italian helmet (the one the MG kit wears in Italy maps) instead of the US helmet, that would be much better:
Looks like I goofed on that one. I was trying to make sure that all Russians had red star helmets but I guess I missed that one. And yeah maybe the Italian helmets would've been a better choice..
Im a zombie, but I picked up an enfield LOL:
Yeah I didn't know if there was any way to prevent that. Zombies aren't really meant to be playable anyhow.
Flying AT gun:
I have no idea why it's doing that, I'm pretty sure I never touched any of the spawn coordinates, just what side they spawn for.
Suggestions:
I appreciate them, but I've kind of retired from this mod. I just don't have the time or will to work on it anymore.
Anyone is welcome to take what's already done and make their own version though. Maybe a bunch of you guys could get together and make it better than I ever could. ;)
I think this is it, but i cannot enter it ???
Judging by your sleeves, you're on the zombie side. Zombies can't drive. :P
By the way, in the easteregg tank, if you allow your health to fall dangerously low, the music changes to something more dramatic. ;D

Thanks for the answer. ;D in the future when I learn modding I can work on this maybe

Question:
I'd like to add a new weapon to the survivors. But I cant find the "Survivor" faction in the objects_server/kits section. Which thing do I edit?
-
I believe (not for sure ;D) you have to do it also on the BF2Editor (edit maps/kits/vehicles).
The same jolly stuff i am working on. 8)
-
Nah, I have edited kits before. Its really simple once you learn the name of the weapon in the codes. And good luck with your work :D
-
Alright,
My work is coming slow but at least i can move around the maps of the FH2 Zombies. :D
Maybe we could make this mod together sometime. ;D
-
I would like to help, but I have very little knowledge :P
Maybe Matusalem can help?

Question:
I'd like to add a new weapon to the survivors. But I cant find the "Survivor" faction in the objects_server/kits section. Which thing do I edit?
There's no survivor faction, I just used pre-existing kits. Except for GW_ZOMBIE UW_ZOMBIE and uh... GW_Lupinkit I think.
I believe (not for sure ;D) you have to do it also on the BF2Editor (edit maps/kits/vehicles).

I did absolutely everything in notepad. :P
-
I am not sure if i can "make" maps quite yet. ;)
But, can I take the original FH2 maps and convert them into "zombie" style. Even if you have other stuff you need help with.
I have some pretty creative I ideas forming into my mind. :D
If so, can you give me some tutorials. 8)
I would be glad to help this mod out. ;D

Easiest thing to do would be just to look at the maps I edited and copy paste chunks of code. :P
Only things that are really changed if I recall are init.con (zombies have to be on team 2 or stupid things happen.)
gameLogic.setKit 2 0 "gw_zombie" "GcWhSnow_white"
Is all you really need to get some zombies. If you want to tweak their AI, check out the ai folder in the coop folder.. in the maps folder.
texturemanager.customTextureSuffix "ramelle"
texturemanager.customTextureSuffix "brest" (I think)
and a couple other ones load zombie textures.

Great video! One thing though, the description links to the old thread. :P
Also, *drum roll*
I just finished a quick and dirty patch with the wake island map. It also includes a couple mega-minor changes to the rest of the mod, although I can't even remember what they were. I don't even think I fixed any bugs.. Either way, all players will have to have this patch if they want to play wake.
Oh right, I "fixed" some dumb code which would make American survivors look like zombies. In order to use American survivors in your map, add these lines into the appropriate spot:
LevelSettings.CustomTextureSuffix "ORIG"
texturemanager.customTextureSuffix "ORIG"
Hopefully this patch works right, I didn't have a chance to test it with anyone.

Downloading right now. I'll let you know how it works tomorrow. Many thanks for adding Wake.
-
Would be nice to hide kill messages if possible. In case of zombies they are just SPAM :P
-
Awesome update, thank you for your time and work you spent on this mod.
Wake Island plays fine, but there are a couple of annoying bugs:
1). Until any flag on island is captured by survirors on island, they die immediately at aircraft carrier spawn.
2). Bots don't use planes at all.

Can't fix those. It has something to do with the maps AI pathing or whatever, which is beyond my abilities.

I am trying to add Bardia and Ramelle to this minimod, then I change the kits in the "Init.con" file to the appropriate zombie or survivor kits.
The kits do not show up at the start screen and then bardia or ramelle crashes to desktop before i spawn. :-\
I do realize i probably need to add zombie AI and other stuff?
-
You need to repack the map using the new map packing scripts.
-
I am sure i did do that, exported the orig server.zip files onto a temporary folder (changed the kits in the Init.con), zipped it back up, replaced the old server.zip with the new one. Then, finally i packed it with the 2.45 mappacking script.
-
It doesn't work that way, Roughbeak. You should unpack both server.zip and client.zip straight to the level folder ("Extract Here" option), modify whatever files you need, then run the script, without manually zipping anything. The script updates some files and creates valid server.zip and client.zip for you.
-
Ok thanks guys :)
Now i need to figure out why both sides are zombies and why the zombies have weapons ;D
-
Ok, i finally made a "makeshift" wallpaper of the FH2 minimod: Zombie Mod. :)
I am hoping it will get better, soon. :D

I never could get this to work. I wish i could help, but modding on BF2 is much different that 42.
If you could turn this into a survival type scenario, like Day Z, it would be "mucho mejor"
Good Luck.
;)

I am taking it, very slowly. I am working on alot of other stuff that needs to get done.
Yeah the weapons and textures for the zombies is very hard to do.
Currently, zombies (with weapons) are scattered on each side in my maps. :P
Keep in mind i am in doubt also ;D
Wish Lupin would help us here.. ;)

You need to give the zombie team gw_zombie kits. That's technically the only thing that makes them zombies.
Take a look at this:
gameLogic.setTeamName 1 "DE"
gameLogic.setTeamName 2 "US"
gameLogic.setTeamLanguage 1 "FH2American"
gameLogic.setTeamLanguage 2 "FH2German"
gameLogic.setTeamFlag 0 "flag_neutral"
gameLogic.setTeamFlag 1 "flag_de"
gameLogic.setTeamFlag 2 "flag_us"
gameLogic.setKit 1 0 "UW_AirborneScoutp" "uw_frogcamo"
gameLogic.setKit 2 0 "GW_ZOMBIE" "GcWhSnow_white"
gameLogic.setKit 1 1 "UW_SMGAssault_Limited" "uw_mixed"
gameLogic.setKit 2 1 "GW_ZOMBIE" "GcWhSnow_white"
gameLogic.setKit 1 2 "UW_RifleAssaultp" "uw_frogcamo"
gameLogic.setKit 2 2 "GW_ZOMBIE" "GcWhSnow_white"
gameLogic.setKit 1 3 "UW_LMG_Limited" "uw_ranger_pvt"
gameLogic.setKit 2 3 "GW_ZOMBIE" "GcWhSnow_white"
gameLogic.setKit 1 4 "UW_Lupinkit" "uw_mixed"
gameLogic.setKit 2 4 "GW_ZOMBIE" "GcWhSnow_white"
gameLogic.setKit 1 5 "UW_AntitankAssault_Limited" "uw_ranger_pvt"
gameLogic.setKit 2 5 "GW_ZOMBIE" "GcWhSnow_white"
gameLogic.setKit 1 6 "UW_NCO" "uw_ranger_sgt"
gameLogic.setKit 2 6 "GW_ZOMBIE" "GcWhSnow_white"
DE is survivor and US is zombie, which is admittedly a bit arbitrary and confusing but it's how I did it. The most important thing is to make sure they all have the GW_zombie kit.

Hey guys, so I was on Moddb and there is this guy called ProfKiller336, and he was interested in the screenshots I uploaded about F2 zombies, and he did some animations for zombies, so I asked him, why not join the FH2Z team? And he said yeah why not?
He is a mapper and tweaker. Lupin, what do you say?

You guys can do whatever you want since I'm not working on this anymore. :P
It's all open source.

Okay, thanks! ;D

WIP on map Tunis Sandstorm by Sgt_Prof (Profkiller336)

Looking pretty good!
-
When I saw the sky my mouth was drooling.
Is there some kind of snowstorm or sandstorm effect in FH2 files? Would be good if the effect was put here.
-
I think there's a snowstorm effect, although I'm not sure.
-
If that can be converted to sand colour, that would really be a plus for the map. Gonna tell this to Prof.

Mersa Matruh new environment by Sgt_Prof (Profkiller336) made to be more creepy:

Oh nice. :)
Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't look like Mersa Matruh instead?

Oh you're right, corrected. Thanks for pointing it out :)
-
How many maps is Sgt_Prof redoing? :)
Bardia and Ramelle would be good zombie ones. ;)
-
I think Ramelle might be an upcomer, but no idea about the number of them :)

There's a sandstorm effect on Supercharge at Tell el Aqqaqir. Maybe you guys can look into how that works by going into the editor files.
Btw this looks great. I just started really following it and those new map atmospheres look AWESOME 8) really gives the map a new post apocalyptic feel. It'd be nice if all maps could have this new feel. I might try and dl it soon keep up the good work guys ;)
-
I'll tell that to Prof, thanks for the compliments :)
-
Love it! My friends and I play it at least once a week now (along with regular FH2).
Keep up the good work, we look forward to seeing more!
-
Le Bump!

Sgt_Prof did his magic again 8)
We are very close to a release! New lightings for some more maps, flare gun can kill, and also expect some surprises soon! Not sure if it will be in this version, but be sure, it is something I was waiting for a looong time! :D
Also if anyone can do minor editings on building textures, I might have a small job for you! :)
-
That's good news :) Seems to pretty good work on the atmosphere.
-
I love the foggines he gave to the maps, lovely work he has.

Het, great minimod. I had so much fun. One thing though... could you somehow disable use of grenades for bots, cause amount of TK's is too damn high.
-
I'm interested to update the mini mod

Got newest build to work, added new shotgun from develop013 weapon pack and tweaked it to fit other weapons. Isn't that perfect for custom zombie apocalypse?

(http://media.moddb.com/images/members/1/473/472573/BF2_2017-02-16_16-21-36-78.png)
Also I might add new reshade for release since it improve visuals.
However, after FH2 update I cannot modify fh2 maps and add zombie kits. Just after I load added new map, kit is invisible. I know it's more hardcoded but help is welcome.
-
Looks nice, I love that shotgun!
Btw, I updated the post with resized images (so they are not so large).. ;)
-
Thanks @Roughbeak
Also I'll try to work on new build as I cannot get zombies to work on any new FH2 maps. Seems kits codding stuff have been changed. So I'd use old FH2 as new FH2z build and link soldiers/statics/weapons from newest one. I would be very happy to get russian maps to work with zombies.
-
The kits need to be loaded in the tmp.con. For that you need to pack the map using the map packing scripts from the fh2 main folder.
pack-map.py
Run the script, type in the name of your map, press enter. You need python to run the script, you can easily get that for free from their site. IIRC 2.8.2 is the latest version that is guaranteed to run the script.
