The Realism Mod adds rpg-like elements to your much loved zombie-mode, leveling up your character and weapons to earn new abilities and attachments are the core of this mod. There's a ton of other features included as well though, like a PanzerSoldat, JuggerNauts, Nova Crawlers, Special zombies and Supply Drops/Care Packages for example!
You can create a new map, of apply it to an existing map. As long as you have acces to the .map file you can add this mod ( yes some changes in radiant are needed, so unfortunately this mod will not work on the stock WaW zombie-maps! ).


Heavily based on and inspired by the 'Realism Mod' made by HogRampage back in the days, Tomikaze and me came up with a recreation of this awesome mod. We hope we did it justice, we certainly gave it all we got!


What's included in the Mod?
-All character / weapon progress and unlocks mentioned below are saved in between games, and also transfered between maps that use the Realism Mod. Even if you play another map, you can simply continue leveling up your character and weapons where you left off!
(Make sure to use the Instalation-Creator included in the download to propperly pack your map for use with the Realism Mod! )

-Class system, players can choose from 5 classes at the start of a match ( Medic, Tank, Assault, Breacher and Demolitionist ). Each class has it's own specific benfits and it's own 'skill tree' ( perks will unlock in a different order, and have different prices. Also some perks are exclusive to a class, giving it unique benefits ).
Some special 'perks' are: Phantom ( teleport to a random location ), Self Defense ( stun the first zombie that hits you ) or the ability to use a special ammo-type ( freeze-ammo, acid-ammo, or shotguns with extra impact-force )

-XP and level-up system, players can level up their characters to get acces to new perks. An extra perk-slot or extra weapon-attachment slot. There's 50 levels, and on top of that 10 prestige levels. Prestiging will earn you Double-XP time to get past those low-levels faster, and will also unlock new game-modes and new-weapons for the mystery box!

-Weapon rank-up system, getting kills and headshots with a weapon will unlock attachments for it. From laser-sight, fast-mag, extended-mag, rapid-fire to dual-wield and sight/scope attachments. All statistics for each weapon can be viewed in the pause or main-menu, things like kills, headshots, times upgraded and wich attachments are unlocked/available are all tracked and saved!

-A lot of features included to spice up your gameplay! Things like:
  > BO3 PanzerSoldat
  > MW2 Juggernauts ( a melee and a mingun version )
  > Nova Crawlers
  > Special zombies ( vomitting and exploding zombies )
  > 'care package' drops, ranging from ( but not limited to ) points or double XP to a sentry-gun, a guard dog or one of the 10+ overpowered special-weapons!

-Players can fully customize each game they play. By default they have Easy, Normal and Hard difficulty available. By leveling up they can unlock an Insane and a Realism mode ( last one has no health regen, but health pickups like 'old fashioned' shooters had a lot ). Besides that they can enable/disable features like the Panzersoldat / Nova Crawlers / Special zombies etc to their liking, to play the game the way they prefer!

-over 13 special achievements for you to unlock, with awards like weapon-camos / character customisation or even a little help ingame. These are for the die-hard zombie players, and wont come too easy!

-All weapons are replaced, for a full list check the spoiler. Some special ones:
  > Drop-Kick. Sprint and hold down the use-button to preform a drop-kick and let those zombies have a taste of your feet!
  > Different grenade types to unlock. ( impact, energy, shatter ). The demo-class has a wrist-mounted launcher with unique abilities
  > Gersh Device
  > Limbo LZ-52 ( AW ) fire a horizontal line of pure mayem, allowing you to dismember or take out big-groups of them zombies!
  > Ray Gun MK2 ( BO2 ) with bullet penetration and 'propper' impact FX
  > Rorsch Railgun
  > Cel3 Cauterizer ( AW ) energy-shotgun that can be dual-wielded when leveled up!
  > M.2187 ( IW ) an incendiary version of this remastered shotgun. This will rip and burn them up at the same time!

  Besides that some weapons have unique features. The an-94 fires the first 4 bullets of a burst faster, if you hold down the trigger for the Cel3 after a few shots the fire-rate will increase, for the OHM you can buy a targetfinder-attachment to fully utilise it's bullet-penetration, and some weapons have working ammo-displays on them for example.

-Unique custom wall-buys.

-Custom Powerups. Random-weapon, Killing Time ( freeze time for 15sec, each zombie you damage will die when the time is over ), and Points Lock ( 'negative powerup' you temporarily dont earn any points )

Huge thanks to BluntStuffy, he spent countless hours making this mod; on top of that he had to listen to me brainstorm ideas endlessly - that must have been excruciating. There is nothing that Blunt can't do and this mod proved it. He's a zombie modding god of the rarest kind and a hell of a friend; I'm lucky to know him.

I hope you all get a chance to play it and enjoy all the love and work that went into it; it was a crazy ride.

Well looks like I'm going back to WaW modding then 
A big thank you to both Stuffy and Tom for the work you put into this as it's arguably one of the feature-packed and best mods out there!

One question: If you make anything custom to this mod (custom bosses/objectives for example), is it possible to make it so that these also give xp and rewards or would it mess up something?

I have included all custom .gsc's / .csc's / animtrees / animscripts etc. Everything is there for you to change it.
Only thing i left out are the stringtables and scriptmenus, making one small change in there could potentially screw up everything.

As long as you edit the scripts provided, and dont mess around with the actuall stat-numbers or overwrite allready used stats. you should be fine.
Look at the 'script reference' file included in the download, there's a few things you might find usefull. Functions like:

rewards_hint_hud( <hint>, <short> )
add_xp_for_player( <xp> )
get_xp_for_action( <action> )

Also if you scroll down in the _blst_utils, and look for the funcion 'get_table_ref( name )' you will see a list of available stats and their corresponding numbers. In the _blst_utils file are also functions for adding values to stats etc, like: 'add_value_to_stat( statname, amount )'

Congratulations on the release of this amazing mod! Can't wait to see it in new maps. 

Congrats man

mate, you got skype/discord, kino is a fuckin mess, and i need to discuss what can and can't be scrapped to fir this in, let me know, cheers

When you install it to an existing map, pretty much every stock-script that is commonly used is overwritten. So you basicly end up with your map + the mod on it, but none of your Original custom sripted features. Things like an EE or a custom boss that where allready in your map are most likely overwritten by.gsc's from Realism, and you would have to re-add them. ( unless they are all in newly added .gsc's but scripts like _zombiemode, _zombiemode_spawner, _zombiemode_powerups, _zombiemode_utility, _laststand,  etc etc are all included in the mod and will be overwritten )

Just add it like in the tutorial, and see if the map loads or if you need to re-script stuff to get it working. Once you get to that point, figure out what actually is still working, and what's not. And decide if you want to re-add it or not.
If you are affraid the map itself might be 'too big', for greenhouse i had over 800 images loaded just for the map. With all features except the Juggernauts this still worked.

I had some issue's loggin into Skype, but i think i'm good now and can get back into my old account. Should still have you on there from way back i think, unfortunately i prob wont be online untill sunday though..

Got it to build, but i get gpspawn on round 1 after first zombie kill, can you adjust, to make it like a reduced version? iv'e cleared out as much of my map as i can

hmm, sounds like it could be another issue as well maybe. But you could just remove the 'feature-pack' and run only the core-version of the mod to see if that helps. ( delete the _patch from your compiled-mods folder and the .IWD you built for it. Then open the new_realism.gsc and set all the features to false at the top of the script). NOTE: if you dont use a feature-pack .ff you need to compile your _patch.ff manually like you normally do!

btw:
have you tried enabling the 'cg_drawfps 2' console command, it also lists the entity-count. I wonder if it's a g-spawn caused by a script, or that you're really that close to it..
