After many restless weeks we’ve narrowed down the issue we were running into and the reason our last release was pulled. Our DLLs required a special signature that when generated on a new machine was rejected and had to be done differently even with the documentation contradicting this. But having caught this when we did we can now release without issue our future updates! Speaking of which let’s check out the progress below-

IMPORTANT:

Our once lost Wwise Project Files that have caused us significant delays have recently been obtained and confirmed working. This will speed up the release of DLC and new content!

An odd and rare issue with digital signatures of important dlls has been resolved that frees us up to focus on releasing the rest of the work asap!

We are moving ahead at an increasing pace and below is where we’re at with our first Free DLC Bundle-

Announcement: Contagion – DLC Weapons Released… Read on!

Contagion, Aug 5

http://www.monochrome-games.com/Media/2015-07-14_Contagion_DLC_Weapons/DLC_Art_620x355.jpg Here is our second attempt at releasing the new weapons for those who missed the previous update we had to…

Bug fixes (such as cockroach bug in lan games and others), replacement assets, new assets, and map and game optimization and improvements released.

All DLC Weapons have been released and are using our Wwise project files and filters which will play a large role in future updates.

Compound Bow

M1Garand Rifle

Remington 870 Shotgun

SCAR Rifle

All DLC Maps have been released plus a few extras and many ready for our upcoming Flatline game-mode (oh and a new Escape/Hunted/Extraction/Flatline map is nearing the point where we can share some media)!

(Released) CE_Harvest

(Released) CE_CampWhitner

(Released) CX_CampWhitner

(Released) CH_CampWhitner

(Released) CH_UnionStation

(Soon to Release) CF_UnionStation

(Soon to Release) CF_CampWhitner

(Soon to Release) CF_Harvest

(Soon to Release) CH_Harvest

All DLC Characters are finished but we’re currently waiting on the following

Regenerated Bank Files with the recently obtained original Project Files (Great news that means great things for DLC and future updates).

Replacing Voice Work that could not be released but is being recorded now and sound fantastic thus far.

Flatline is nearly ready for release just working on a spawn bug and improved scripting for team and modders.

Contagion OST will follow our DLC releases not long after.

Still working with Valve to schedule a meeting to review our options for Contagion (Updating to an improved version of the Source Engine for Mac & Linux Platform support) and other projects as well as pushing for a free weekend and sale asap sometime this year.

Wwise was updated so modders with custom sounds will (on release of new DLLs) have to use Wwise Build 2014.1.4 and regenerate their sounds.

Remember that this is a DLC release and not our Features mentioned in other threads so expect the following and anything else is just a bonus but we will be working on the rest immediately

4 New Characters

4 New Weapons

2 (looks like 3) New Maps (supporting multiple game-modes)

1 New Game-Mode (Flatline)

We will keep you up to date as we progress

It will be done when it’s done! (Things are looking good right now)

To be clear June is a must for release and we apologize greatly for any and all delays

Please refer to this page for updates. Delays benefit no one so trust that we are doing the best we can. Also remember we are on Pacific Time (GMT – 8:00)! http://steamcommunity.com/app/238430/discussions/0/618456760257254915/

All of the gametracker servers for the ZG community are updated (with the exception of CSGO).  The website should now reflect accurate information.  Thanks again for all of your help. 

Thanks QuaG for checking.  I believe I have it working now.  I thought I’d post the info in case it helps someone else.

Apparently that error can occur if you don’t have the map in question.  In this case, I had not subscribed to the particular map in the Workshop section of Steam.  After I tracked it down, subscribed, and retried, it worked.  Why doesn’t Contagion download the map automatically like most Source-based games but instead shows a cryptic error?  Your guess is as good as mine.

Thanks again.

These are all of the servers, they all seem to be up and working great:

Contagion (East Coast):

• contagion3.zombiegaming.org:27015

Contagion (West Coast):

• contagion.zombiegaming.org:27017
• contagion2.zombiegaming.org:27017
• contagion4.zombiegaming.org:27018

Zombie Panic Source (East Coast):

• zpd.zombiegaming.org:27017 (24/7 DeathMatch)

Zombie Panic Source (West Coast):

• zps.zombiegaming.org:27015 (Mall Server)

No More Room In Hell (East Coast):

• nmrih3.zombiegaming.org:27016

No More Room In Hell (West Coast):

Teamspeak (Teamspeak 3):

• ts.zombiegaming.org

It does not appear to happen when joining #3.  I am not sure about any others.  Thanks for the help.

I am seeing if I can track down this error, is this same error happening with the other servers?

When I try to connect to ZG’s West Coast #2 server, I keep seeing:

I searched on the Contagion forum, but didn’t turn up much.  Thanks.
