Help with Zmod Errors and Issues
--For People Experiencing Issues with Zmod--
(Just a little note I find singleplayer Zmod to be a bit buggy at times. Try the official server.)

First off READ THE DESCRIPTION FOR ZMOD, it will tell you almost everything.

Make sure your Gamemode in the main menu (bottom right) is set to: "Zmod".

If you are encountering errors when you first start your game you may have other addons conflicting with Zmod, I recommend disabling any other addons (other than the map you're playing on) before starting a Zmod game.

Players who are missing models, textures, or visuals and experience errors are most likely playing on a map that requires Half Life: Episode 1 or 2 content. If you own these games make sure to enable their content by clicking the controller icon in the main menu and check-mark the required games.

People who don't own Half Life: Episode 1 or 2 should play on "gm_atomic" as it does not require content from other games.

Make sure to select a map that is compatible with Zmod, if you don't you will not be able to use the auto-spawn feature. (You can spawn your own zombies and items if you want to, just to play sandbox style.)

The list of maps compatible are updated as new maps are made to work with Zmod, so check the description before complaining about maps please.

The controls are in another topic, but make sure you bind a key to "Suit Zoom" in the options menu; the key you bind will drop your backpack if you hold it down.

The weapons require you to press "E+Left-Click" to holster your weapon before you will be able to switch. On some weapons, holding "E+Right Click" will switch between firing modes; however this feature is only available on a few weapons.

Hopefully players found this usefull! :)
If you still can't find a solution to a problem make sure to THOROUGHLY read the description. Many problems are solved and adressed there, or comment below so other people can possibly help.

This is very handy for many frequently asked questions.

i would also point out gm_atomic does use ep:2 content HOWEVER its just 2 props, one being a gnome used for a easter egg (it does not do much just opens a way to a room that has the map cretors name) and the second being a picaxe however being placed near a door may people think its a button to open the door but its just a decorative item.

that aside ild like to add my own to this

1
Q:My weapons are missing / no view model.

A:Delete the zmod form your gmod folder and redownload, this can fix some missing content, if this does not work download "firearms source" located in the steam workshop.

2
Q:Where is the foliage, where is the item boxes?

A: At the current time this addon is being stolen beacuse of its popularity, these stealers are also charging people real money to play thier versions of this mod(just adding a few plugins like vechial spawns), as a result the original aurthor has (TEMPOMARALY) cut content.

*NOTE: If you wish to play the most up to date version you can look for the offical server(just be cutions you dont stumble onto stolen content servers they may ask for money for previleges for plugins that are not even zmod related.
(i stumpled onto one and someone was running around with a rpg, i asked where to get one and they said i had to pay to get certain items, which is alredy part of firearms source anyway)

3
Q:when will the cut content stop?

A: I personaly do not know im not the creator of this mod, however im guessing the mod creator will release it all when he is 100% done with the mod, but he is adding alot of content so it may be some time.

4
Q: zombies do not spawn and !apo,!ato do not work!

A:Its all automated now zombies auto spawn and maps have preset furniture to find loot (think fallout 3+NV)

5
Q:"Im playing on #map# and thers no zombies halp!"

A:Each map has to be hand modified to work with zmod, such as zombie spawns item placement and navigation, not all maps will also work as they have to contain ai nodes that npcs have to follow or else they will just stand still (and that be no fun)

Current maps are :
Gm_atomic (requires min content)
Rp_apocolypsse* (heavily uses on ep:2 content)
Rp_necroforest (uses l4d content)
*note: using this map with l4d mounted causes serious graphical problems (for me anyway)


Hopefully this will help with some frequently asked questions.

Hmm, that is strange. I don't think there's a way to change that, if you can try playing on a higher resolution.

Nothing's spawning for me. There are zombies, but there are never any items or containers. Halp?
Dark Demise May 10, 2013 @ 12:55pm 
@TheDarkChimaera: What map are you playing on?
deven956 May 10, 2013 @ 4:39pm 
samehappens with me sometimes on atomic
Dark Demise May 14, 2013 @ 8:51am 
@Nyaaaa That's not the problem since zombies are spawning, but not items.

I know this gamode is a wip but theres a glitch thats been round for a while. The normal zombie that is bald, has no lips and wears brown has a hitbox error. You can only headshot him in the jaw and the rest of the head counts as a miss. Sorry, its vaque but ill try to add a screenshot of the zombie.

The creators of the models wanted him to remove them.
