I've been working on a small nostalgia project and decided to rebuild one of my old favorite CS 1.6 Zombie Mod servers from the mid-2000s — TweakGaming.

This isn’t the modern type of zombie server with classes, props or RPG-style systems.
I wanted to recreate the panic-style gameplay a lot of us remember from 2006–2009:

•Classic bunnyhop movement — zombies show their real skill by chaining jumps, air control and timing to break into survivor camps
•Classic knockback behavior — rifles give light push, shotguns deliver strong knockback just like the old servers
•Humans never run out of reserve ammo, but you still have to reload (no endless spray)
•Parachute + air acceleration — experienced zombies can glide, angle, and redirect mid-air to access survivor spots newer players can’t reach
•Clean 1–3 weapon menu
•No added soundpacks, no extra visuals, no modern effects — just the original oldschool aesthetic

It’s been a fun “digital archaeology” project — fixing HLDS quirks, compiling old AMXX modules, updating configs, and tuning movement + knockback to feel exactly like the 2006–2009 era.

If anyone played TG or other classic zombie servers back then, this might bring back memories.

Server info (for anyone curious):
IP: 157.180.38.74:27015
Discord: https://discord.gg/jHxdTHKYMG

As more people discover the server, the goal is to eventually have it naturally fill up.
Until then, I really recommend joining the Discord — whenever me and a group of friends hop on to play, I’ll announce it there.
Makes it easier to catch the server while it’s active and recreates that “alive” zombie-mod feeling even if it’s not populated 24/7 yet.

Happy to share configs, plugins, or server setup tips if anyone wants to recreate other 2000s servers.

The server also uses the oldschool map flow:
• /rtv – Rock The Vote
• /nominate <map> – Nominate your favorite ZM maps
• End-of-round map vote with the classic layout

I've managed to find a bunch of OG ZM maps, like:
•zm_deko2
•zm_toxic_house2
•zm_anekin_house_v2
•zm_boatescape
•zm_blocks
(and more coming..)

Nice work on reviving that old‑school Counter‑Strike 1.6 Zombie Mod server — brings back all the panic‑mode vibes from mid‑2000s. The classic bunny‑hop, knockback, and reload mechanics over spray? That’s pure nostalgia. If anyone’s down for a raw, OG ZM run — count me in. I’d love to help test configs or spread the invite so more old‑school heads join.

Love the old-school feel! Your CS 1.6 zombie setup sounds perfect. I can't wait to jump in and remember those frantic runs from the mid-2000s!
