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...

Did you restart the server and making the changes?

Can you paste the numbers from the DB - select * from zone_points where zone like 'ruj%';

That would give manhattan and juno (and others) if you used the same zones we did.

Code:

INSERT INTO zone_points (id, zone, number, y, x, z, heading, target_y, target_x, target_z, target_heading, zoneinst, target_zone_id, buffer) VALUES

(1468, 'ruja', 1, 1750, -288, -180, 1354, 709, -541.1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 235),

So the x/y and target_x/target_y values need to be reversed.

ahh thanks ironicly lol all idid was use your sql files so i have no idea how that one happened

actually the db structure is y,x,z ? Dont uinderstand lol now im really confused

Foiund the problem!

All my target_zone fields are set to 0

buffer and targetzone got swapped when i ran the sql queries that was the problem

In the screenshots of some of the zones i saw some custom creatures any chance any of those source files are going to be released as well or do the designers of those want to keep those to themselves?

The only custom creature we used is one that comes with OpenZone. All the rest are eqlive.

how can you tell what models are stored in what zone ?

i know, kinda an old thread, any chance of some updated links? I am mostly curious if these files would be the completed or the files used with openzone/gmax/3dsmax ??? either way it works for me

I would LOVE to see what you created since I am trying to create a couple of zones using ones in the database that do not exist, namely Nektropos and Neriak D.

I am learning how to use Gmax and some real examples would be nice, since I dont want to create something and have it be too small for someone to fit into or just way to large.

thanks in advance if they are given, if not, no biggie.

Count me in as being interested. I will try to read through this thread ASAP.

So all of the download links appear to be dead, are these files not longer available ?

It's a 1-year old thread, so i'd assume so.

Well there was talk of a Google Code share, that is why I was wondering.

Is this what you are looking for?

Links:

MESHES

TEXTURES

ZONES

Yes, thank you, thank you.

What are the difference in the compressed files that end in SOp ?

I noticed when I tried sourcing in the SQL, there were errors.

SOp files are for server ops, it contains the source so they can be changed. The others are just the files to play with.

What kinds of errors are you seeing with the SQL?

Likely there are going to be errors with the SQL since the schema has changed for things such as doors since 6.2 DR6.

You'll just have to go through the changelog and see what things were added, and add them in the query accordingly.

Do these zones require "ZoneProxy"? I remember reading about that lonnnng ago, and it scared me away from ever making my own content with OpenZone. I tried once and made an OZ custom zone named "Nexus" and it worked pretty good... then, ADHD took over and next thing you know I am doing DB work elsewhere.

I like the work Sak was doing, and so far not convinced about SimpleClient (no offense - just never gave it a good whirl). If nothing, I'd love to learn how to "properly" create custom zones like this. In short, yes. Please.

These are pretty damned nice. Is there any way to see who is the author of each? I am interested although not really a real part of the community so feel like I need to ask the author themselves.

Edit: Go go reading text files! Ignore my question and emphasize my "These are pretty damned nice"

Edit: Oh hello extremely old thread.
