Hi everyone, few days back I joined your surf XP server. I really like surf servers with some addons or special functions, but I couldn't find many of them. So im happy to see some special surf servers over here. However, after few surfs and kills, it again turned into kind of boring and monotonous surf server.
One of the biggest problems here is XP mod itself (It is not so dramatic as it sounds, chill out). Here are very big gaps between levels. I know, that this mod is primary focused for ZM servers, where is easier to farm. But here on surf if u have few levels more than your enemy, it is very hard and someties even impossible to do kill. So I got some dieas how to update and maybe breathe new life into this surf.
1. XP Gun mod + unlock special guns menu
Level gaps - Despite the fact that this mod is primary aimed to zombie servers, with few changes, it can be generally focused XP mod or even Surf focused. First of all, there should be smaller XP gaps between levels. From beggining it is easy to farm but after while, you need literally 500kills to get 1 damn level. And it is boring farm for lot of ppl.
More weapons for same level - You also should to consider add more guns at same level, for example UZI with TMP, AK with M4 or sg552 with aug.
Unlock menu - There should be more unlockable updates for low level weapons too. Now, there are unlockable weapons mainly for high tier weapons such as M4, AK, Galil, etc. These weapons are good itself if u are playing against normal players (in meaning, not zombie with 5K hp). So, there should be few updates for low tier weapons like uzi, tmp, glock too, to make this game more interesting for begginers too.
As long as it is surf, you should add surf jetpack (For example like this - Surf jetpack).
!BUG! - It looks like parachute from unlock menu works only for CT (bcs in zombie mods, zombie players (as T team) are not allowed to use parachute)
Enhance XP gaining - Here are only few special bonus XP for kill streaks. But it is not big deal, bigger problem is that after reached maximal awailable XP streak bonus, from that point u are gaining only 10xp for each kill and for each type of kill. Maybe it would be good change XP gaining like:
+5 (or any number u want) bonus XP for each HS to your kill XP
+5 (or any number u want) bonus XP for each knife kill to your kill XP
For each 10 (or any number u want) kills (kill streak) +10 (or any number u want) bonus XP to your kill XP
Bussiness part - +5 (or any number u want) bonus XP for VIP for every kill
Ability system - Once you reach maximum level of guns, there is basically nothing to do. You don't need to farm anymore cuz you have glorious M249 in your hands so you can rape anyone you want. For those who are ego maniacs it is life goal, but for rest of us its become boring game so, there should be some after farm for some kind of abilities like better speed, smaller gravity, lower visiblity, +start HP or +start AP.
2. Maybe new XP system?
If you will decide to do some changes regarding to some points I wrote up, you may ask question: What will be better? Do chanes in this zombie XP mod or try do find new one / create own one? aaaaaaaawell in the end it doesn't matter if it works. But I tried to look over interned and found something interesting here: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=165138
Also you should find / create plugin where you earn XP and you can unlock weapons regardless on position. For example every weapon has some XP value and if you earn enough XP, you can buy that weapon. You will able to pick taht weapon on every start, or pick that weapon from ground, ofc after purcache you will lose those XP. So you will able to unlock only those weapons you really want.
3. Crossover with another mod
As known, XP farming is based on kills (oh shit sherlock) and often easies way to farm kills is camping. But surf should not be about camping, so it would be good to add some activity what will indirectly forcing players to move, surf, etc. If you want (and even if you dont want), here are frew my suggestions:
Add ranking / top5/10/15 players which did the biggest surf speed
Create some timers so guys can compete in who will surf to specific end direction faster + list of fastest ones. The easiest way is to use some tiemr plugins like
