while we are on the topic is there a way to take one of these meshes and export it to 3dsmax for editing? ive been meaning to ask anyway as even some of the default meshes are missing textures lol (the brick buildings for instance) Mainly im wondering if i can use these to make an entire zone in 3dsmax and then export it afterwards to oz

Scorpious2k

I don't use 3ds max, I use anim8tor.

I wouldn't know, I do models outside OZ, and import them from 3ds format to use in OZ where I do most of the actual zone work.

I downloaded anim8or not real sure if i can import meshes in it though I do know you cant import them to 3dsmax now LOL I checked

I might be wrong but the files 3ds.part1-4.rar sound like warez to me.

quadroplex

06-08-2008 10:43 AM

your indeed wrong lol its a trial version the same one you can download from download.com and other mirrors its not cracked its a 30 day trial now as i was saying... and those werent supposed to be in there anyway out them in the wrong folder those arent for the general public they are for the zone builders on my server

Ive removed the original texture archives and im uploading my own i added textures to fix some of the mesh issues with the buildings that come with oz ( some were missing) the brick bank tavern and store or whatever it is now are fully textured if you use the textures I am uploading, I also want ot credit GeorgeS There are the textures from his world editor in there as well and a few i scrounged up from royalty free sites as well

the textures include

Scorpious2k's Custom textures
GeorgeS UWE Textures( As ive been using his tool as well to make zones and import them)
The base Textures for Openzone
Some textures from royalty free sites
Some added textures for fixing the meshing issues with some of the original meshes

quadroplex

BTW the new texture packs will be up in about 42 minutes its a multipart rar archive so you need all of them to extract the archive( I didnt feel like seperating it up and what not )

As I go through all the mesh files and find more missing textures ill add them

Absolutely. I was just thinking about including your original zones that I modified, and that would fit right in!

I am reuploading my new texture pack to my mediafire account it has all of georges' convertex textures( I converted them last night too lmao) and my entire meshes directory which also has converted meshes from his app all nice and ready for use in OZ! I will post here when the files are uploaded again the textures are a multipart rar file ( had to do it as the file would be like 300 megs big now) just download them all and extract all the textures to your oz textures folder overwrite as needed

Details of texture pack:
1803 textures

I highly reccomend everyone grab these when I post they are ready as they will be needed for any zones I post and will be VERY USefull in further zone creation.

quadroplex

06-10-2008 12:49 AM

would it be alright if i started exporting the objects in these zones that are not in the meshes you posted and made another mesh pack scorp? Or are they propriatery so to speak?

As you can guess ive kind of been trying to take care of the resources end of the zone making process for people lol

It's been pointed out that I got a little careless with my sql entries and the zone.sql files have errors.. The correct sql for each zone is:

Nektropis is correct in the zip file.

Sorry aboiut the errors. I will have updated versions up later.

Changes are uploaded and online.

The DB I am using is 1108, so you may have to add a ,1 at the end of the zone sql. I assume that is within most serverOp's abilities :P

It should be mentioned that if you use scorpious2k's zones youll need to delete the bazaar.eqg and tutorialb.eqg files

Is it possible to add these as 'new' zones without overwriting old zones? I tried adding copper city as a new zone, adjusting the values in the sql to make it a new zone, and inserted it into my db, changed the names of the files to ccity.xxx, restarted my server and logged in. I did #zone ccity and nothing happened - it didn't give me an error, but it didn't zone either. any thoughts?

i was thinking if i could get these added as new zones, i could make them accessable via quest or npc - kind of like tutorial.

The list of short names for zones is hard coded into the client, so you can't add a new name. It will always be a trade-off, one existing zone for a new one.

There are some zones that are in the client but not used in the game: tutorial, aviak, tutoriala, tutorialb, nektropos, arttest, and probably others. So you could technically use these without affecting the game or taking a zone used in live.

The best way to find these is to match short_name from the DB zone table with files in your EQ folder.

I just rename them with .old on the end.

This does bring up a point. The client always looks for <short_name>.eqg first when loading a zone, if it doesn't find it it looks for <short_name>.s3d - so if you add a new zone (s3d) and there is one with the same name ending in eqg, it will ignore the new one until you either rename or delete the eqg one.

I thought about this and that zone is too awesome to not make available even without source. So I will set up a separate category for zones without source.

Thank you Richardo!

Im having some issues with manhattan, juno and nektropos and Tutorialb...

The zone lines when you hit them try zoning me into "Unknown zone" and puts me back to the zone in point of the zone im in, and sometimes right on the zoneline causing a neverending loop of zoning...
