New World Map

[ziggman]

me and Karl are working a new world map since the new Editor will beable to handel it. it measures 5000x5000 and will have several different towns and Villages. this image is simply a spoiler and is scaled to 5% of original size!!. so this map is fkin HUGE and may possibly be map used in game. Karl can you confrim my information is correct? this will be the new continet?

[Karl G.]

yep! Zigg has graciously offered to take up the responsibility of setting up the new continent, which we will create in the new map editor once it's all planned (planning the world + finishing up coding on the editor should take about the same amount of time...) If you want to help, post here!

I'll help just lemme know what to do.

[ziggman]

do you want a full size copy? its pretty freaking huge, something like 70MB

make Dungons and stuff on ms paint. each pixel = 1 tile. dont use a bunch of different collors, i know the floor may be a different color or have a nice pattern. but it makes it very busy and hard to see what is what exactly.

someone can draw me up the great Fortress of Kir'Kahn. (3-4 Storys high)(Medium size(smaller than T3caslte))

Karl, will we actually beable to have elevation? 2 story dungons and stuff, that are ACTUALLY 2 storys high or even higher? you can walk up and down hills? will the camera angle be moveable?

i wanna be able to add 3-5 story watch towers. and cool casltes. the game can have MUCH more complicated dungeons if we can move the camera and actually have hills/houses/towers ect.

zigg--eventually, yes to all of those. for right now, no.

try saving the file as a PNG then sending that to me

[ziggman]

Hey Karl is there anything esle i should be working on with this?

[Karl G.]

Zigg--I'm taking your sweet base map and I'll be creating the world from it using the ideas you sent me. But I've been focusing on other things recently, so nothing extensive has happened. If you'd like to help out, try finding more Fantasy scenery sets for me to buy and put in the game

The map looks as though it is going to be massive! :O This is excluding the areas required for dungeouns!, How much bigger is this than the Xenimus map?

[Karl G.]

It's roughly the same size, but the dungeons and stuff will be on a different map.

nice one, the continent looks really nice karl

[Karl G.]

Zigg designed it

sweet work zigg - going to be cool running around on there!

just out of interest Karl, what is happening about dungeoun server style gameplay, you know like where everyone gathered, which even turned out dangerous for newbies too, like t2DS, is there something of similarity being implemented or is that something to consider for the future do you think?

[Karl G.]

That's something for the future. Right now, I'm just working for a single server

[Richard. UK]

Nice - sounds interesting I just can't believe this is so close now to release...hopefully people will realize from xenimus what has always been missing plus so much more haha!

Were all behind you Karl

Even if this ap is roughly the same size, it will probably be a lot richer an more complete then xen's (at some point), seeing how input is actually welcomed and map editors and stuff.
