Can we have REAL fast zombies back?

[killkill85]

Im not a zombie2 hater(infact the zombie2s should have models in every smod),but i LOVED the fasties's models and sounds that vet put in .45 and it would be awsome to have them back,maybe with edited stats like less health,more speed,stuff like that.That was my only dissapointment with 0.67. Also,can you put a headcrab replacement like that (slightly)disturbing pygmy zombie in .45 or a facehugger or something?

If I remember correctly the fast zombie was dropped for a technical reason, it wasn't a choice but rather at the time there was no other option. However I wouldn't count them out just yet, I think that if vet could get them working he would gladly bring them out of retirement. So it is possible that they could be Incorporated into future versions of outbreak but I can't say for sure.

May be Vet can give you more details...

Whenever he is released from the Mexican prison he's being held in, (or where ever he might be).

Woot a reply to ma first thread i started EVER.In ANY FORUM EVAR.Anyway,its mostly inevitable that he'll find a fix for it eventually.I kinda doubt its technical,I think he dropped them because 2's are fast and jumpy and agile enough to fill their role.

As i understand it, They were cut because the settings to tweak their health and damage are hardcoded and can't be altered by console commands. So with the current Outbreak damage system they would be nuisances instead of actual threats.

exactly, i love the idea of a fast moving, all terrain climbing quick slashing zombie, it adds variety to the npc types

but as OneMan pointed out, there are ZERO cvars to control their values, which indeed does make them a nuisance rather than a threat, like a mosquito that needs to be swapped at

thanks for your input though kill, and welcome to the board
