Well, I got to work yesterday fixing up how the zombies spawn, and I have a prototype going right now- basically, we're going to have them spawn in groups (rather than singly like they do now), and closer to you, trying to keep the pressure on. I have one of our new spawning volumes working in biotics lab, spawning 1 one 3 different preset "squads" of zombies (at the moment, I have squads of 3 clots, 2 clots and 2 wretches, and 1 stalker, 1 wretch, and 1 clot, but alex will be able to expand the squads he uses to just about anything, with different groups of squads chosen from randomly depending on the wave) regularly. Overally, I'm extremely happy with the way this puppy works, I just hope that the method for choosing which volume to spawn at- the next step- is just as awesome as this.

Okay, the code side is done and alex is voluming (is that a verb?) the levels as we speak- I tested it on biotics lab and the gameplay improvement is amazing! I can't wait to show you guys.

Fraps gives me a headache. It hasn't worked properly on my system in months...  And yeah, ive downloaded and redownloaded it a million times in various legal and illegal forms with equally shit results. |

Also, encoding is nice to have so we can keep the download size under a Gig.
