Looks -epic-. Add in first person support for kicks? But also; how do I switch weapons? Oo I pick them up but, I dunno. The chainsaw worked for me (No clue how I switched to it, though xD), I just had to press reload, which I guess is like pulling the ignition or whatever those people do when they pull the string.

Me and Ceriux just played some online; it's awesome. Few things, though. Online, you have to share the water and food, and you run out way too fast. Give us a little indicator to show what the other player's health, hunger, and water is so we can share efficiently and it would be great if you could scale the amount of drops based on the player count too.

Wow, very impressive work! Critic time (imagine 10 times that amount of the text below, praising you and this mod, please!): I find the "you always have to reload manually" mechanism annoying. Would like "reloads automatically if you try shooting with an empty magazine but you can always reload manually" much better.
The mouse is way to inaccurate for me. Might be a Linux issue? I have no idea. It hops around the screen in what feels like 5px jumps. Might be too high sensitivity, I'll try.
The monsters tend to walk in lines.
The chainsaw did not work for me.
Does the exact mouse position actually matter or does it just decide the angle? If the ladder I would suggest making the aiming work more like in "now i forgot the name of that game, duh. That one with the electro cannon." where you can get a laser sight later to pinpoint distant shots. Basically the cursor would stay on the same radius around the player.
This might be a personal pet peeve but I like it more if a) the monsters stand out more from the background somehow and b) if dead monsters are less visible instantly.

spirit i think the mouse problem is that of your own, it seemed to work fine for me. also the monsters are zombies, if you watch some kind of zombie movie they generally group together and walk in a line twards you they have no thought of avoiding bullets. (a good way for easy reload is to bind mouse 2 to reload rather than r or something. =)
EDIT: THIRD PLACE =D !

And here I thought that after swearing off Crimsonland I'd finally get to be productive again, now I'm never going to get anything done. :) The readme mentioned a prebound config, but I didn't find any bindings in horror.cfg. I really like the food and thirst management, and I prefer the manual reload over an automatic reload. The combination of the two mechanics really helps to create a sense of desperation, without which the game would degenerate to sitting in one place and unloading on the closest zed, only stopping to change positions every so often.
I do agree though that health/food/water pickups need to be more visible. Just giving them the same pulse effect as the weapon pickups would work perfectly. A lot of games ended because I ended up trapped in a horde and I couldn't plan a route in time - when you're in that situation you just can't focus on anything but your immediate surroundings.
I did catch a few zeds getting stuck on world geometry after spawning though;

cl_prydoncursor is *very* coarse at higher sensitivities. I had to lower mine to about one fifth of what I normally use.

Hit reload first. :)

I would like to see immediate alpha fadeout on death or maybe Crimsonland style gibbing for the weaker zeds, sure.

Actually, I was never able to get the weapon switching to work. I even poked Ceriux in #qc, nothing worked... I could reload... But not switch weapons. Consequently, I never got far at all. Supa; I actually tried the reloading on the chainsaw, it didn't make it do anything... Reload itself did work though I used it a fair bit with the pistol, and with a shotgun.

[17:33] <Ceriux> go into options and set next weapon to q [17:42] <Spoike1> yeah, impulse 11 to change weapon Thanks a lot guys, *hands on hips* Though I did try the existing ingame binding of next weapon to no avail. I'll give impulse 10 a go when I get home tonight. Thanks.

Yes, I played numerous times last night, using your bind of impulse 11, along with the next weapon bind (which was set to / by default), and picked up a pump action shotgun, and a double barreled shotgun, and a chainsaw in different instances.
