John, when it comes to multiplayer games, the ability to pause is incredibly rare. The game world continues moving even if there are no people playing so it really doesn't make any sense to let someone pause. To pull off the effect in the past it required server sided effort to make sense of the player who would suddenly be marked as off limits to zombies and was not affected by normal game mechanics.
There is a very well written weapon tutorial but I haven't posted it simply because I've only added a few of the many new weapons it contains. I didn't want to confuse people or spoil anything. I plan to post patches that will continue adding new weapons and maps, but I do like your idea and I will probably modify a copy of the weapon file to post what the game currently contains. > I've just spent around 20 minutes > with the new swamp, and here are some preliminary thoughts. > I have to say that I liked the way that > the old menu system worked, where you couldn't enter the > menu if you were being chased, but could (and pause the > game) otherwise.
