Supplemental game definition file (.fgd) for use with Zombie Panic! Source
Modified for Improved Mapping Use by Kep Pump, Necrotales Games

This is an UNOFFICIAL supplemental Game Definition File (fgd) and set of Valve Material files (vtf, vmt) for use with the HL2 game mod Zombie Panic! Source.  No warranties or guarantees are made as to usability and is strictly "at user's risk."

Version:  1.01

INSTRUCTIONS:

These instructions assume that you have already set up Hammer for use with Zombie Panic! Source and are familiar with the process of map creation, or at least familiar with the file and folder structure in your \Steam\ folder.

1) Make sure Hammer is NOT running.  Place the necrotales.fgd file in the same directory as your zombiepanic.fgd file.  This is expected to be:
   Program Files\Steam\steamapps\<USERNAME>\zombie panic! source\zps\
   
   Place all .vtf and .vmt files in their corresponding folders as dictated by the file structure in the winrar archive:
   Program Files\Steam\steamapps\<USERNAME>\zombie panic! source\zps\materials\editor\
   -OR-
   Program Files\Steam\steamapps\<USERNAME>\zombie panic! source\zps\materials\necrotales\effects\
   
   You may need to create the \editor\ folder.
   
   Note that if you unrar this archive in your \zombie panic! source\ folder, this should automatically be done for you if you click the "use pathnames" option.
   
2) Start Hammer.  In Hammer, go to:  Tools > Options > Game Configurations

3) On the tab that says 'Game Data Files', click on $SteamUserDir\zombie panic! source\zps\zombiepanic.fgd and click REMOVE

4) Still on the 'Game Data Files' tab, click ADD and put in $SteamUserDir\zombie panic! source\zps\necrotales.fgd

5) Restart Hammer.  Icons should now appear for entities such as point_teleport and random_ammo!

If you ever wish to return to the default ZPS settings, repeat steps 3 through 5, but REMOVE necrotales.fgd and ADD zombiepanic.fgd

Many of the new sprites do not require .vmt files (for example, simply placing the new random_ammo.vtf file in your \zps\materials\editor\ folder and restarting Hammer will result in using the new icon), the .vmt files have been included for completeness.

If you do not wish to use a specific icon (for example, you may find it easier to manipulate the point_teleport entity as a box rather than a sprite), simply delete the .vtf and any associated .vmt file from the \editor\ folder.

The full list of affected entities:

env_global
env_smokestack
env_texturetoggle
filter_activator_team
game_score
game_win_human (the .vtf and .vmt are named as gamewinhuman)
game_win_zombie (the .vtf and .vmt are named as gamewinzombie)
info_beacon
info_no_dynamic_shadow
info_objective_list
path_track
point_teleport
random_ammo
random_any
random_def
random_firearm
random_limit
random_melee
random_misc
random_pistol
random_rifle
random_shotrev
random_weapon

HDR setting modifications:

light_environment
point_spotlight

Other setting modifications:

prop_static ("Disable Vertex Lighting" now defaults to "Yes")
info_player_zombie
info_player_human
info_player_observer
info_player_commons

More entity icon sprites will be added in future updates as needed.

HAPPY MAPPING!
