Does this look right? http://imgur.com/a/2KfVj If so, it still isn't working. The path nodes are two squares away from each other, the zombie spawners, and the barriers. The reason I have the zombie spawners facing away from the building is because I want the zombies to walk around a wall that I will make between the zombie spawners and the barriers.

Thanks for your response. I fixed that, and have tried arranging the path nodes in various ways, but nothing seems to work. It seems as though a lot of new mappers have this same problem where their zombies spawn in, but do not go anywhere even though there are path nodes.

Making my first map, and the zombies in the map spawn, but do not leave their place. I only have the path nodes from the zombie spawners to the barriers and a few inside the map as of right now for testing purposes. What am I doing wrong?

Hey, I actually figured out that I misspelled something in the keys and values and that fixed the problem. Thanks for your reply though. I do have one more question, however: Do I need to use the purple "Volume" tool in each room of my map, or just one big volume for the entire map?

I'm in the process of trying to make my first map. I don't want dog rounds. As of right now, the sound and light change occur for the beginning of a dog round and no dogs spawn. I don't want the dog round to occur at all though. I looked up help on this forum, and found that I had to do something about the map's _zombiemode.gsc file. I looked into the map's folder, and that file wasn't even there. I don't know how to get rid of dog rounds if I can't find this file. Thanks!

So I have basically zero mapping experience, but I have wanted to make zombie maps for years. I love the old-fashioned WAW custom maps, and am therefore seeking to make Der-Riese and maybe Verrukt-style maps. I have already sought help with making my first map. The forum messaging is great and all, but I was wondering if there was a faster, more one-on-one way of communicating to get stuff done like in the chat or if there is some way to voice chat with other members for help in map making. As a new member, I will have a lot of questions (some of which may seem stupid) but, hey! I'm new. I just ask for patience and help and am looking for someone to take me under their wing as a new mapper. Thanks!

I was watching tutorials on YouTube of finding and modifying this file called "_zombiemode". The problem is, there's supposed to be this folder called "maps" inside the folder of the map that I'm making, but I can't find it. I would send a screenshot that I took of the location of the folder in the YouTube video and a screenshot of me trying to find this folder, but I can't even seem to upload a picture in these forum messages, either. When I try to select "insert image" when typing up this message, nothing happens. So I suppose that's two issues I have. Just a newbie here trying to figure everything out. Your help would be appreciated!

Hi there, noob here. I ran into a problem early on, and as a first-time map maker, I'm not sure how to fix this. Anyway, I've been watching GAM3VIDZ tutorials and when you add in your zombies, there are supposed to be these yellow lines extending from them to your own player spawn (if you did it right). Evidently, I didn't do this right because there are no yellow lines present, and when I compiled my map, no zombies spawned. For the time being, I have the zombies supposed to be spawning inside the playable area just to test them out like GAM3VIDZ did in his video. I would greatly appreciate it if I could get some help with this! I want to stick with this and not give up. I want to make a decent first map! Thanks.

Hey all, this is my first post as a newbie on this forum, and I need some help with path nodes. I just ask for your patience, as I am sure I will ask a lot more questions in the future.

Anyway, I just started the modding experience last night watching GAM3VIDZ tutorial on how to make custom zombie maps using the UGX Script Placer 2.0. I made a similar (Der Riese-style) map to the one in his tutorial videos, and placed path nodes in the exact same way he did. No zombies move when they spawn, not even the dogs which spawn inside the map. I also make sure that I have "connect paths" checked when activating the launcher.

I know I already need help just making a test map, but remember I am new as new can be to making my own maps. I just want to learn how to solve problems when making my own serious maps in the future. Someone's help would be greatly appreciated!
