Here are the two new zones replacing mmcg and mmch, both are made using heightmaps and I hope you find them useful.


MMCG

MMCH


All of these Openzone zones can also be found on my forums

Anyone get a chance to check out the MMCH zone I made by chance? just curious how you may have liked that made with a heightmap.

leslamarch 09-11-2007 08:09 AM

Sorry there,
I have been out of town for the holiday and just got those last 2 connected and WOW like i said before they just get better every time you release them. There now getting to the point that they top sony's best zones. :D I have every zone you created linked together so when you zone from one you end up to another :)
I only have 2 of them spawed though lol. The Castle Idea Looks great, the only thing i could think of adding is maybe like Sakrateri's INN to give you some kind of credit for this great work. 8-)
On a side note i was wondering how much a person can do to changing the size of a zone? like the loading zone seems to be a waste, could that be made larger with open zone?
ok enough rambling here :grin:
Thanks Once again for your great work
~LL~

Sakrateri 09-11-2007 04:44 PM

Yes you can change the loading zone also to whatever size you want, there are actually three loading zones though , 1: Load 2: Load2 and 3: Clz If you would like me to make something up for one of those let me know . And thanks for getting back and trying these out.

anthonyjaltman 09-12-2007 06:25 PM

you made that zone!? i didnt know u could make zones. or is it completely retextured old zone?

Sakrateri 09-12-2007 07:57 PM

Its a completely home made zone from scratch using Windcatchers OpenZone you can find it on the forums here to download and use.

Thanks for the great offer, i'm just looking for something very simple kind of a starter zone if you will, to replace loading zone. I did attempt this my self lol, was not pretty :( I would for sure take anything at all that you created for those loading zones or any other for that matter lol.
Thanks again

Here is a new CLZ zone, to use it rename your clz.eqg to something else then extract these files into it and see a new character select screen:)


clz

Windcatcher 09-22-2007 04:21 AM

Any chance on exporting some of these to .XWA so I can try them with SimpleClient?

Sakrateri 09-22-2007 06:03 PM

Of course, let me get em uploaded, and sorry I didnt think if that before.

Sakrateri 09-22-2007 06:38 PM

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG....

<<<< speechless......

Sakrateri - you are my personal Tunare , Mother of Nature... :cool:

tell me just one thing - does old zones have to be overwriten to use any new ones?
Also what is this Necro...somehting zone? Where that comes from? I never herd of such zone in eq.


PS I also prase Windcatcher and all others who working on this project =)

Sakrateri 02-09-2008 10:18 PM

Yes, rename your zone name to something else before copying the ones I make to your EQ folder, eg, change gfaydark.s3d to ORIGgfaydark.s3d or something of that sort.

Nectropos was a zone that had never been used (until recently I believe) I have it set to zone to the nexus and mmce I believe, been awhile i would have to check, I made an NPC on my server in the nexus that ports you to Nectropos.

ChaosSlayer 02-10-2008 05:59 AM

does this Nectropos has original files?
or its just a reserved zone name?

Sakrateri 02-10-2008 07:14 AM

No, no original files for it.

ChaosSlayer 02-10-2008 08:50 AM

thanks Sakrateri !
I got your nektropos files, but when i went inside it seems the zone some sort of invisable maze? whatsup with that?

try this and see if this works for ya

Code:

REPLACE `zone` VALUES ('nektropos', '', 'Nektropos', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '28', '0', '0', '1', null, '-2030', '1500', '2000', '500', '2000', '0', '0', '0', '2', '255', '1.00', '1', '2', '0', '0', '0', '500', '2000', '0', '0', '0', '500', '2000', '0', '0', '0', '500', '2000', '0', '0', '0', '500', '2000', '', '1', '1', '1');

ChaosSlayer 02-10-2008 02:52 PM

hmm this don't seem to be changing anythign beyond clip planes for fog...
could you explain what this should do?

oh another thing, it seems like your line has more values than I have collums in the zone table...

Sakrateri 02-10-2008 05:06 PM

Yes with some newer databases there have been new colums added, try this and it should work with the newest AX and PEQ DB.

Code:

INSERT INTO `zone` VALUES ('nektropos','','Nektropos',0,0,0,0,0,28,0,0,1,NULL,-2030,1500,2000,500,2000,0,0,0,2,1,1,0.4,2,0,0,0,450,450,0,0,0,450,450,0,0,0,450,450,0,0,0,450,450,'',1);

Sakrateri 02-10-2008 05:18 PM

As for an invisible maze I am not sure, I downloaded the file myself and tried and it works fine, the only thing I can think is that they did finally use that zone and mabey there is an eqg file in there, See if you have a file called nektropos.eqg in your EQ folder and if so rename that file to something else and try.

ChaosSlayer 02-10-2008 06:04 PM

don't seem to work
my DB is latest from Cavedude, but your insert line has like 3 values more than i have collumns =)

Also there is no .eqg for Nektropos

oh while we on subject of new zone and graphics- is it posible to change the splash screen? The stupid DoD werewolf is hideously annoying....
I won't mind going to a splash screen from one of the previous expansions

uglybob 02-27-2008 11:01 AM

Silly me. Tried to use this with the standalone tutorial from SOE and it didn't work. Teaches me to read the entire thread next time.

Sakrateri 08-13-2008 01:37 AM

New Zone
 
Hey all, been awhile but I have been trying to perfect my zone making ability and here is one to replace ruja it is a massive zone made entirely in 3dmax...hope you like.

http://www.kheprigames.com/maxter1.jpg

http://www.kheprigames.com/maxter2.jpg

It is not finished yet as i still have to add all the zone models (trees , shrubs, ect.) but heres a taste...


Ruja

Once perfected these will be the kind of zones seen in my game FatesDestiny I am working on.

Richardo 08-13-2008 01:28 PM
