Horde is a single/multiplayer PVE gamemode that draws inspiration from Killing Floor. Players progress through killing waves of enemies. It currently features:

• Customizable Shop: Spend your rewards to buy various items. The shop has different categories and features a weight system similar to Killing Floor. You can add Any Entities you want to the shop!
  
  
• Customizable Enemy Spawns: You can set Any NPC(e.g. zombie, combine, etc.) you want to spawn. Spawn options also include modifiers (e.g. health/damage, weapons, boss) to spice up your game. Spawned enemies will try to seek you.
  
  
• Class/Perk/Rank System: Each class owns a unique ability and can be configured to have different weapon pools. There are 10 classes in total: Assault, Demolition, Ghost, Medic, Heavy, Engineer, Berserker, Warden, Cremator, and Survivor. Each class comes with its own set of Perks. Level up your class Ranks by killing enemies or healing teammates.
  
  
• Difficulty System & Multiplayer Scaling: The number of enemies scales dynamically with the number of players. You can set certain enemies as Elites/Boss, scaling their health according to the number of players. You can also choose to play on 4 difficulties: Normal, Hard, Realism, and Nightmare.
  
  
• Works on any AI Noded maps. Moreover, Horde also has its own mapping entities. Map makers see here: https://github.com/tpan496/Horde/wiki/Mapping.
  
  
• Included Default Config: I configured a 10-wave setup using ArcCW weapons and VJBase Zombie SNPCs. If you wish to play the default config, you need to download additional addons and start the game with all default config options enabled. I would recommend disabling ArcCW Perks for a more balanced experience.
  However, if you just want to customize everything on your own, you do not need any additional addons.
  
  
• Dedicated Server & Lua Addon Extension Support: Besides the client UI, you can create config addons using lua! This might be more efficient if you are creating a large setup and allows you to share them on the Workshop. See more here: https://github.com/tpan496/Horde

Q1: Can't change player model?
A: Use 3rd party addons like Player Model Selector / Outfitter. Horde overrides sandbox models by default.

Q2: No enemies are spawning / Shop is empty
A: If you are using the default config, make sure you download the additional addons. If you are not using default enemy configs, by default no enemies will spawn since nothing has been configured yet! You need to configure them by saying !enemyconfig.

Q3: No commands work
A: Make sure you change the gamemode to Horde.

Q4: Infinite enemy spawns
A: Don't use spawners (e.g. random zombie). Horde cannot capture spawner-generated enemies.

Q5: Where are the last 1 or 2 enemies?
A: Enemies are guaranteed to spawn. Try to move around or check the map more closely. If you are using "spawn limit" option, make sure you are not ABUSING it. Only a very small portion of your enemies should have "spawn limit". You should leave "spawn limit" as 0 for most enemies.

Q6: Why are my custom changes not saved?
A: Make sure that you are not using the default config! (horde_default_enemy_config, horde_default_item_config, horde_default_class_config) and do this before your game starts.

Q7: I cannot buy using F3
A: Some hr_ maps have dedicated buy zones. You need to be in the buy zone in order to open the shop.

Q8: What does "elite", “weight” mean in the enemy config tab?
A: Elite monsters scale health based on the number of players. Weight refers to the relative weight for spawning. If A=2, B=1, and they are the only two types of enemies in a wave, then A has twice the chance of spawning than B.

Q9: Can I use any other weapon packs / NPC packs for configuration?
A: Yes of course. If you want to customize, you don't need to download any of the required addons listed on this page.

Q10: Where is the config data stored?
A: garrysmod/data/horde.

Q11: Enemy deal no damage / AI disabled
A: This gamemode uses Sandbox as base. Try changing related sandbox settings.

Q12: ArcCW Attachments not working
A: By default Horde only allows you to buy ArcCW attachments from the shop. You can uncheck the "Free ArcCW Attachments" option in the game mode menu, or type arccw_attinv_free 1 in console.
