Update!

Bouncing Betty's break the game on some occasions so do not buy until they are fixed!

www.mediafire.com

A massive thanks to gamer9294 and natesmithzombies!

Today I am re-releasing Contrivance in its final form for now and I hope everyone enjoys the changes as much as I do. I believe I made the map significantly better than the original release and I hope everyone enjoys it! Leave posts for any glitches or bugs and happy zombie slaying!! (See everyone in Black Ops 3 ;) )

EASTER EGG HINTS:

Spoiler: click to open...

*The Word of The Ancestors*...Seek that which sprouts life (farm...)
The Word of The Ancestors*...Spring life where life has been left void...This will give us strength. (burned forrest...)
*The Word of The Ancestors* Face the guardians. They watch over the curse for all eternity. They must be destroyed...(tower...)
The Word of The Ancestors* Generate the power to finally free us...
Dragon, Shiisaa, Temple, Lantern

If you are lame and want to cheat click here:

Spoiler: click to open...

step 1- activate the book
step 2- grab the seed from the rice farm
step 3- plant it at the post in the forest
step 4- shoot the 4 heads in the guard towers
step 5- hit the generators in order. power room, mainframe, teleporter 1
step 6- go to the forest and climb down the ladder
step 7- enter the combination dragon (far left), shiisaa (far right), temple (left middle), lantern (right middle)

Download size is much larger but a lot was added.
Easter egg is not easy but it is also not tedious. If you know how to do it once it should be easy from every other time.

Thank you so much for creating and sharing this map with the CZ community.

UPDATE: Before I even play it, I just wanted to report back that the maps name is listed as "nazi_zombie_beta". Just letting you know in case you may have overlooked changing the maps name. About to play it NOW!! :)

Yea, I go back and forth on stock WAW guns. I usually feel like people are just too lazy to do better, but without a doubt there is no lazy going on in this map. Can't wait to spend some quality time with this map. Now excuse me while I dim the lights and get the massage oil.

Post by: CODCZ115 on April 15, 2016, 05:37:32 am

Took me to round 10 until I finally found power. :) You've really did a great job with the layout of the map. I especially love how many areas have more than 1 way in and out. Since there is no mention of easter eggs or an ending, I'll keep exploring and have fun doing so. All the doors are perfectly priced, I had no problem advancing when I wanted to. The door that led to power, took me a few rounds to find. I kept walking right past it, didn't even notice it. :D

Congratulations on the release and again, thank you for creating it.

Yeah I figured it would be a turn off for some people. I wanted to see how a more classic feel would fit with people but it is in the works to get a version with different guns out but if you end up trying it now I hope you enjoy it! :D

Just used easy fx and a lot of trial and error with positioning and such. I went through about 10 different variations of atmosphere before settling on what I have now. It started as a bright sunny day map actually lol. Thank you for playing I am really glad you enjoy it!

Sorry to hear that for sure. I tried to avoid using T4M due to some people having issues with it but I unfortunately hit the memory limit and hit or came close to hitting the image limit, sound limit, material limit, and fx limit even after optimizing it and un-including most of the stuff from the stock Der Riese files. T4M was what saved this map and ultimately allowed me to release it in the end without having to remove any of the elements I had already added. I also considered releasing a Non-T4M version with a lot cut but I felt it would take away too much from the map itself and ultimately I scrapped it

Thats odd, do you get any sort of error or do it just black screen like a memory limit crash? If it is the black screen with no error then t4M is not installed properly

I had the original version (where it created a nazi_zombie_beta folder upon install) and there was a zombie counter on the bottom of the screen. I re-downloaded the updated version (which creates a Contrivance folder upon install) but now there's no zombie counter. Is there an option to turn it on/of or am I missing something?

Great map though. Wish it had a buyable ending though, not a fan of just playing until boredom hits.

Found a bug or glitch. Entering the area where the Thompson is, in the top left of the map there's a large rock, surrounded on both sides by tarp/curtains (sorry don't know how else to describe it). Was walking along it to look for any hidden objects and got stuck, couldn't move, and killing myself with a grenade didn't free me either.

With your first question no there is not a toggle option for it and I am not really sure why that would happen. In my version it is still there and it seems to not have happened to anyone else. Do you have certain HUD elements that you set to not draw in the console? As far as a buyable ending I am working on a quest Easter egg to release with a modern guns version as we speak. I wanted to keep this version with more of a Classic zombies feel aside from the perks and such as those are pretty essential in my opinion.

and Awesome good find I will add that in my list to update! Sorry about that!

Forget what I said about the zombie counter, it showed up once I restarted the map a few times.

On the topic of console commands, is it possible to change the 'timescale' in the game? The first few rounds are quite slow, and I prefer to speed through it. No big deal if you can't, still an awesome map regardless.

Found another bug or glitch. After buying the first truck and fence barriers, there's a little island with Double Tap on it. Somewhere around it there seems to be an invisible barrier that doesn't coincide with the environment (there's some rocks/grass in the area but the invisible barrier doesn't seem to be part of them).

Forget what I said about the zombie counter, it showed up once I restarted the map a few times.

On the topic of console commands, is it possible to change the 'timescale' in the game? The first few rounds are quite slow, and I prefer to speed through it. No big deal if you can't, still an awesome map regardless.

Found another bug or glitch. After buying the first truck and fence barriers, there's a little island with Double Tap on it. Somewhere around it there seems to be an invisible barrier that doesn't coincide with the environment (there's some rocks/grass in the area but the invisible barrier doesn't seem to be part of them).

I also do not like the slow start rounds and I actually increased zombie speed slightly so it used to be worse. Thanks I will look into that too. might be a loose clip floating around somewhere!

Found another bug or glitch. In the PPSH room if you camp near the the back of the room (around the power switch), some zombies will fall through and disappear into the ground when coming after you, then they'll re-appear right up in your face.

Nice looking map, great feel and atmosphere.

A few bugs found:
- 2 player Coop zombie counter not working, stuck on either 1 or 28 zombies whole game/games (played 4 times with same problem reoccurring)
- stamina area stuck player on top of perk machine.
- coming out of trench and just over ramp, stuck player on blue canvas tarp wall.
- power lever still flips back and forth after power is on and shows trigger "f for power"

In the bo2 pap machine area, that big door on the cliff, we hear voices from a crowd of undead or something...does that ever open?

Nice work fun map, reminds me of seelow (birds, flowers, frogs and cricket sounds)

For some reason the map is all messed up. The textures are stretched and flying all over the place. I don't know if this is because of T4M or not as I am new to using it. But here is a video of what it looks like. If anyone can tell me how to fix this that would be great because this map looks amazing. And I would love to play it.

Thank you I am glad you like it! I fixed the tarp area issue and the stamin-up area problem as well and that will be up next week. Those are just sounds for atmosphere but they may play a role in an easter egg I am working on. Thanks for playing and reporting those bugs, hope those glitches were not too much of an issue for you!

I know some mappers don't really care for it, but if possible, could you add a buyable ending? I vote for a buyable ending over an actually EE. Now if the EE when completed gave you a wonder weapon AND allowed you to then end the game, that would be great. :)

Maybe I'm blind, but can anyone point out where the download link is for the 1.1 version? I can't find it on the main post. :derp:

With the newest update there's no zombie counter at the bottom of the screen anymore, or at least there isn't for me. Aside from putting all the grpahics settings to automatic, anything else I can try to get it back? Thanks!

I took it out due to it not working properly in coop. I figured it would be better to take it out than to have it give a wrong number. Sorry man!

The MSMC wall hintstring is labeled incorrectly (it's listed as an AN-94).

Also, I purchased some Bouncing Betties on Round 11 but the game crashed on me when I tried to pull them out; I don't remember the error message but it said something about checking to see if the weapon was "precached".

Interesting, the betty issue has never happened to me before I will check it out. The MSMC thing I cannot fix because it is natsmith's weapon pack but thank you for reporting that stuff I will check it now :D

Yep I just tested the bettys and they didn't crash the game for me the first time but the second time it did. I will work on getting that fixed along with some other stuff. Thank you for reporting that!

You can edit it Psych, you just gotta go into the weapons.gsc or wherever the weapons hintstrings are stored, and change it from "AN-94" to "Uzi".

oops you're right I just looked and it is correct in there so it must have been the hintstring issues I have noticed with the map after I added my Easter egg. I am trying to figure out how to fix that too

Found some bugs and errors

Hintstrings are broken:
The box hintstring says something about "insufficient scripting see readme"
Power doesnt change the perk Hintstrings
Translator doesnt translate anything.
Teleporter still says initiate link even after linkage
the "Spirits" in the beginning dont change their hintstring after the 1st step
you cannot make it to the teleporter pad on time From the electric cherry teleporter AND the Wunderfizz teleporter even with a pistol.

Cannot find the 3rd step and I looked for over an hour

the fog drops my fps.

dont know where the door in the electric cherry room opens to.

and may I suggest reducing the vulture aid range for the perks I can see the perks from the test map underneath

Yeah the hintstrings are becoming a big problem everything works normal its just the text is wrong. The second teleporter is very reachable and it is easily made with stamin up. The hinstrings mess up the easter egg so I added hud text for the clues. I am fxing the hinstrings rn so hopefully that will be done soon as they should have been implemented in a better way thats my bad lol. Sorry about that. The door in electric cherry is a power box that opens 1/3 of the PaP on the roof. there are 3 of them you need to open to get to it or you can use the one for free in the Forest. I just added the cost to it for balance. The vulture aid thing isnt a test map it is part of the easter egg ;)

Very great map. Loved the size of it. Textures and customization. Amsolutely phenominal even though it took me a while to figure everything out. Probably #1 in my book. But you can also get all the guns in the game if you get mule kick, turn the power off and on again, and buy another weapon lol

I found a bug on the map, I got stuck behind a single standing up tire in the back of the map, it was in the tunnel where who's who is located but much closer to the zombie window in that location.

Its not a huge problem but this sorta stuff can make or break a map for me. still recommend it though :)

Ok soo I played the map and during the 2 days ive been playing it, I found a bug and the map crashed a few times. The bug is that when I tried buying the Kar98k ammo off the wall, it didnt let me. The game randomly crashed a few times but overall it seems like a really fun map! Another problem I had wasnt the mapper's fault but my own for having a sucky laptop and had to run the map at 10-15 fps XD. I couldnt play alot of it but I wish I could because I had alot of fun, even with the low frame rates. :)

Unfortunately i found this map @ http://customzombiemaps.com/contrivance/ (http://customzombiemaps.com/contrivance/) and that didn't have the "update" text that this thread has regarding the "bouncing betties"... which I discovered in round 13... argh. It does reference v1.1 so I assume it's still the latest.

Otherwise I was having a blast, had found power, perks, etc. Was really enjoying the detail and size/layout.
Saw the perk hint strings issue, but one thing I noticed hasn't been mentioned, and maybe it's supposed to be this way, but I thought I'd throw it in:

Other post make mention of the "zipline", but my experience with finding the zipline was going up near pap and just walking off the ledge and getting "flown" in the air back to near the gate,.... with no visible zipline. I just float over there. Works every time, but I didn't see any zipline. Also experienced the mainframe linking issue where linking doesn't work. As far as translator... I picked up a translator, found I could read one of the letters in english, but other things still said I couldn't read because they were in Japanese.

Hope these few issues get fixed for a v1.2 udpate so I can play again, great job on map though.

just another note on the betty issue, I bought them at the end of round 12 with a couple crawlers, at which point I was going to try to place a couple in good spots, but the action button did nothing at all (didn't even put it in my hand to then allow left click to place). I figured it was a bug and was just going to ignore, but then round 13 started and the graphic sort of changed underneath the betty icon so I thought I'd try it again, that's when it actually tried to put it in my hand and let me place it, then crashola! Thought I'd describe in case it helps the debug.
