[9sam1]

I have a couple dungeons drawn up on paper with some generic storylines for each of them. The one involves the lair of a scallion warlord with a fetish for killing gnomes, and its got a few puzzles to get past his security. I probably won't start working on my maps until I get something accomplished with 3D modeling and sound effects though.

[kuba]

Can someone reference the map for me please. We should start by selecting a portion of the map as to where the starting town will be and assign people to work on that.

[Karl G.]

Yeah you guys don't even have to use the map I drew, I just made something to give people ideas. This is really where the community can go wild making all kinds of creative awesome stuff

Just remember that things that are above-ground will get put into the game much sooner than below-ground, as they will be easier to include and more relavent to the first players.

how about this:



everyone either take a whole section (like ABC123) or just 1 part of a section(like C5, A1, G3)

[thadiusofx3]

also I'll throw some town names out there:

T1 = Oriens = rising, the rising sun; east; morning
T2 = Cccasus = setting (of the sun, etc); the west; fall, destruction.
T3 = Meridianus = midday, afternoon, south.

Guess ill take GHI 789. Do i make the dungeon as well as the entrance?

[thadiusofx3]

either/or

if you want to make the dungeon go for it, if not, leave it for someone else, just make sure you note that you didn't create the dungeon along with it (although be sure to make an entrance)

[9sam1]

mk ill make the dungeon as well i guess. When im done do i just post the file here?

[thadiusofx3]

upload them to the ftp server in the /Mapping/Maps/ folder as GHI789.pvm

[thadiusofx3]

also I forgot to mention scale, each unit (A1, B2, G4, etc) is 100x100
so an entire section should be 300x300, which i think karl said was the max map size in the map maker

[Karl G.]

Yep, 300x300 it is.

This looks very well organized, thadius, great job! I can't wait to see what you guys can do

[9sam1]

k well mine might not be exactly 300 X300 since mine is near the water so i made the edges of the map all bumpy and stuff like you drew it.

[thadiusofx3]

yeah thats fine, the water is included in that 300x300

[9sam1]

someone should upload pics of some of the xen maps for us to use as refrencing.

[9sam1]

ok im done but wheres the ftp???

[9sam1]

nvm

[kuba]

So as to keep things organized I've created a topic titled Starting Continent where we can post all relevant material and map assignments for the starting continent. I didn't notice we already had a topic going for assignments (my apologies) but I slightly modified Thad's map for balancing purposes, so check that out and let's get things rollin'

[9sam1]

ok i finally found out that ftp stuff lol, i kinda think i didnt have enough trees and stuff so if you wanna add some or whatever thats kool. Ill also do DEF 123 if thats kool.

EDIT: Done with DEF123 uploaded it.

[logitech]

what hasnt been done yet? ill start working on it..

[thadiusofx3]

check the starting continent thread

[Vitriol]

I did mention the Tamriel Rebuilt project didnt I? THey have a unique system for splitting up work. We should emulate this.

[Karl G.]

Yeah I had a look at that, but they have a huge project going on. I don't think we need quite that elaborate of a system.
