8 months ago Note from SWBFspy Administration 231231 It's been a long journey for the Walking Dead: ZeroFront mod, as well as our mod team and fans. The legendary v0.98 has finally dropped as of 231231. We went from less than 100 stock maps to over 300 during the last few months of 2023, with several having been ported from SWBFII. Thousands of hours, and the efforts of over 100 modders (including even some of the game's developers) have went into this mod's creation. ZeroFront is by far the greatest mod EVER made for SWBF (2004). Only a small banned cult of seething envious loser trolls have attempted to insult/plagiarize/censor the TWDZF team, but they failed miserably.
In addition to all of the epic new stock maps, The Walking Dead Campaign has been extended and is now on the 12th season (World War Z) of development, with prototypes released already for Dead City maps and more. Battles take place across 4 continents in S12 alone! The world of the walking dead is really expanding since the end of the comic and flagship TV series. New locations, characters, cutscenes, sound effects, weapons, vehicles, enemies and zombie variants are being added! Ideas are being mapped out for S13 and possibly beyond. For more really cool insight see this thread Seasons 12-13 Campaign Structure https://swbfmodders.com/index.php?topic=2092
Phobos has also updated the SWBFSpy master server, and BF1-PC game servers with the new ZeroFront v0.98 mods, along with the gametracker/github/vimeo community pages. We also consolidated all of the BF1-PC, BF2-PC, BF1-PS2, BF2-PS2, and NMRiH-PC servers, so that we now have only 5 game servers running (instead of 7-10), for 3 games, across 2 platforms.
Going into 2024 will be one of the biggest years ever for the SWBF community, as well as the TWDZF modding team. This is because on September 21st the game will be exactly 20 years old, so that is the day we have chosen to release TWD ZeroFront v0.99, which is the penultimate build of the mod -- as far as TWD campaign goes -- but there will also be ZeroFront post-v1.0 releases for new mod/hack additions. We plan on having at least 400-500 playable stock maps by then. As of today, the final day of 2023, there are 302 playable stock maps in the mission LUA + shell missionlist.
Celebrate our epic new mod build in the SWBFSpy servers (IP 66.85.14.80) on ports 3658 and 3660. We're hosting a special event today at 5PM EST on SWBFSpy with the new mods! All CW/GCW, Alien Wars, Boot Camp and Tournament related maps are on the first server, with all zombies and diablofront mods on the 2nd. The new mod patch compresses all the way down to 2.5GB yet is 18GB when fully extracted! Thanks and happy new years to the SWBFmodders crew for keeping the community going, the websites and servers running, and creating such epic new content for the game! :cheers:
