[Minimod] Survival Games / PR-Z



I've been working on this project for the last 2 months. The primary objective is to host a Survival Games Event that is both fun and challenging.



The concept is quite similar to the movie "Hunger Games" and has already been used in a DAYZ event. This event will work as a small tournament where the players will be teamed up in groups of 2 or 3 and will spawn unarmed. Their priority is to survive and for that they will need to search for pickup kits that are spread through the map.



Most of the main required features have been done and I will be hosting some test sessions to check gameplay of the new versions.



While the events are being being hosted, I will continue improving and adding new features and that is where I will need some help. If everything goes well with the events, the secondary objective of the project is to further develop it into a PR-Zombies minimod, keeping the features used in the SGE event and adding some more specific to how the zombies are introduced into the survival games.



For that to be a reality, I will need someone to help with tweaking/recreating a few weapons and skins. That means someone to code, texture and animate some of the content.





Here's some WIP reskins for the Civilian Players:







Here's the Admin's player skin:

EDIT: After 3 Successful Survival Games Events we are now developing PR:Z. Here's the concept plan:



Quote: The PR:Z game-play is defined by surviving against zombies but also against other survivors. However we do not want this to be a Player vs Player only type of game so we will be adding specific rules to prevent it from having the same fate as all the Day-Z mods had.



These rules are still being defined but have the primary objective of balancing the "humanity" of the players with the possible elimination of some of the survivors. This means that if you play alone and focus only on hunting down other survivors or kill too many survivors, you will be punished unless if you have balanced it out with teamwork and cooperation. That is after all what PR is all about.



Every player joins as an unarmed survivor which will have to find gear and weapons in order to survive. Kits spawn all over the map in random quantities and at random times. An individual survivor will not be able to join a "squad". That is an advantage that will be given to those who reach a certain value of positive teamwork points by cooperating with other survivors using local mumble. Such players will then be able to group up and use squad mumble, markers and the ability to talk to other groups either for cooperation or possible negotiations. This will be easier if you already join with a group of friends to play with as I'm sure it will be difficult to find someone to team-up with in game due to constant mistrust.



In the same sense, if you reach a certain value of negative teamwork points (killing other survivors), you will eventually be punished by a team-switch to the zombies team after dieing (-1 Point or more) or instant team-switch (-X Points). This means that the only way to play is by cooperating with someone else in order to get positive values which will then be reduced every time you "TK", and in there lies the balance.



If a survivor gets killed by a zombie (or suicides), he will still be team-switched, so a player only gets a second life as a survivor if he gets killed by another survivor while maintaining a neutral or positive teamwork value. You are able to return to the survivors team after killing at least two survivors as a zombie. However, zombies that have a negative teamwork value will have to kill a bigger number of survivors to get a team-switch.



We are trying to make the zombie game-play as fun as possible to guaranty that players do stay on the server even if they get team-switched. Not just by adding an objective/reward but also by trying to make sure that there is constant action. This is ensured by a controlled relocation and respawn of the zombies based on the location of the survivors on the whole map.



We will also probably use the civilian ROE system to prevent unarmed survivors getting killed too much, which will require some close attention and possible role-playing.



The plan is to have 4 different "game-modes":



- Survival: Equal to the SGE game-play but with a few changes in ROE and Scavenger Requirements

- Rivalry: Based on the CNC gamemode, it will be a fight between two groups of survivors trying to establish bases in the most secure or resourceful locations of the map.

- Last Stand: Assault and Secure a important location which you will have to keep for as long as you can. Support Squads will be needed for outside defensive perimeters and support roles such as scavenger and resupply.

- Quest: A journey across the map from point A to point B with a few detours to find loot in order to increase the chances of survival.

If you would be interested in helping out, please send me a PM. We are in need of another mapper for the audits, another python coder, a modeller and a 3p animator.



The Survival Games Events will be not just for the fun of it but also to test some gameplay aspects to see if such a concept would work well when further developed for a PR-Z minimod.



We are working hard on completing the requirements for the SG Event aswell as trying out new things in the hopes of adding some unique features. Once everything is ready for the SG Event, we will not only organize it and perhaps improve it but also consider developing PR-Z. For that to happen, we will need some help from not only the modders to do the work but also the community to show their interest and support on this project.



I would like to ask you to post here if you would like to see PR-Z being developed and perhaps even make some suggestions of your own on things you would like it to have.



EDIT: The first Survival Games Event was successful, we are working on improving the minimod for the next events.
