I recreated the classic Zombie Mod from Counter-Strike in s&box

Hello! I tried to recreate the good old Zombie Mod from the CS:Source and 1.6 in s&box. If you played back then, you know exactly what this is.

If not, here’s how it works:

  1. The game is round-based. At the start of each round, you pick your weapon. After 20 seconds, one random player becomes a zombie.
  2. Human weapons knock zombies back and deal damage. Zombies infect humans with one punch, move faster, and have a lot of health.
  3. Humans must survive for 5 minutes. Zombies must infect everyone.
  4. Physics objects work like they did in the original Source games. Humans can shoot furniture and props to block doorways and slow zombies down.
  5. I tried to bring back all the key mechanics and classic feel of Zombie Mod, from zm_lila_panic to the sounds.
  6. This mode is made for online play. The more players, the better.
  7. Dedicated server is live 24/7.

I also added several features inspired by Zombie Mod from Counter-Strike.

What’s already in Zombie Mod [s&box]:

1. Extra Shop and Currency System
During matches, you earn credits that can be spent in the Extra Shop. Right now there are 11 items available, from armor and miniguns to the legendary Guitar Gun and Violin Gun from CS 1.6. Yes, I actually ported and adapted those ridiculous classics.

2. AirDrop System
Every round now features 2 airdrops. Each airdrop drops 2 crates:

  • one for zombies
  • one for survivors

Inside is a random item from the shop.

3. Weapon Drop System
Press G to drop weapons.
You can throw away unwanted guns or share them with other survivors.

4. Maps
Currently there are 2 maps:

  • zm_lila_panic from Counter-Strike: Source
  • zm_assault_1337 from Counter-Strike

Maps rotate automatically every 15 rounds.

I also added a separate Warm Up mode.

It automatically activates when there are fewer than 4 players on the server. Instead of waiting in an empty lobby, you can fight zombie waves, earn credits for the main mode, test Extra Shop weapons, and compete for leaderboard records by surviving the most waves. I’m actively working on this project and releasing patches almost every day.

P.S. In the video, you’re seeing the Warm Up mode where I’m just testing Extra Shop weapons. The main mode is much more chaotic and fun.

Feedback is welcome. Thanks in advance.
