At least 3 hulks, more brutes, several fasts, spores and fungals, and I don't even know what a B is!  I think your only option there is to hide behind a fire and hope they burn to death as they run towards you!

Goddamn. That is possibly the most epic thing I have ever seen rendered in ASCII.

Towering bonfires of flame, reaching up to the sky like hellish fingers of red. Dozens of zombies are running towards the lone figure in the middle of all this. Hulks, funaloids, brutes, fast undead, slow undead... This is what the end of the world looks like. The lone figure cocks his shotgun, unsheathes his machete and charges, because he does not fucking care about thousands upon thousands of the undead running towards him with the expressed opinion of ripping him limb from limb, and the raging fires that are spreading very very fast. He doesn't care, he just wants to kill as many zombies before they finally take him down.

He doesn't care in the slightest because he's already lost everything. His home, his family, his friends... Why bother?

Meanwhile, an NPC stares down his binculars at this insane spectacle. For the first time ever, this digital construct creates it's own code to say something.

"Holy shit."

Then the game crashes with the error being "FATAL EXCEPTION: TOO AMAZING"

I think the crashed helicopter in the northwest provides an even more intriguing possible background - is he the lone survivor of the downed vehicle? Crawling from the wreckage to see THIS?

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's a playground to the NW.  :-\

That just makes it worse. What if he was trying to get his daughter out of here (Supposing this is the start of the outbreak) and she got eaten? D:

Were the playgrounds added to the official release from my mod? I haven't played in a while, I thought it only took baseball yards and bars (did it take churches?).

Pretty sure it had the basketball courts, playgrounds, and churches too, I think.

Yeah, I still need that church  :-[  If you've got the mapgen.cpp code handy I can pop it in real quick!

mapitemsdef.cpp

itypedef.cpp

mapdata.h

I am sure you won't forget to add the appropriate names to various .h enums :P (to ter_id for t_cross, also items and buildings).

I also didn't include spawning code for the church, just make it to share the chance with a bank, there're too many banks IMHO.

Also there're a table and a bench (new objects which work like counters in terms of slowing you down).




Do you need bars and fast food locations? I think you haven't included them, and I liked to visit bars to get wasted and to sleep in fastfood place back rooms :P.
