Make our own. If we remake Xenimus maps, we already know where everything is (and that's boring!).

I'm hoping that PV can be constantly updated with new maps to keep it fresh.

I'll lay out a general sketch for the world map in Photoshop and upload it in a few mins.

so we all just pick places to work on? k ill just do the top left part under the circle. what you want over there? i already have 1 dungeon (3 levels so far) and a troll camp.

double post

[9sam1]

make an undo button. there is now a giant bum model in the middle of my map that i cant delete.

[Vitriol]

some ideas

[9sam1]

yea i think we need to edit that map so its more detailed this way everyone knows what to do. like tell what to put there so the person making it knows what to do.

[thadiusofx3]

I think the idea is to first make the continent in the top right hand corner to be the alpha testing continent and then make the rest of it later after the game is more finished.

wish karl would elaborate more. idk what those giant poo lakes are.

[Vitriol]

lol "giant poo lakes"
Just make them lakes.

[Serenity]

One of those le looks like a sting ray...OMG its the one that took Steve irwins Life

[thadiusofx3]

lol i thought stingray when i saw that too

[Serenity]

lol i thought stingray when i saw that too

When I first saw it I thought OHH Skate (ministingrays = not fun to walk on) then thought meh stingray has more history

[Vitriol]

well we can name it stingray lake.

[Serenity]

swish

[Karl G.]

Hahah yeah well the giant lakes of poo are supposed to be mountain areas. Kinda forgot to put that in a "key"

The top right-hand area is what we'll be focusing on. I want the whole map to be 10,000x10,000 units large, making the area in the upper right-hand corner around 3,000x2,500...which is larger than the Xenimus map. Just to give you an idea of scaling.

The squares are towns, and the brown thingies are paths.

The best thing I can say to do is to blow up the Alpha area and set out regions for the different dungeons (which go INSIDE the mountains, BTW!) and locate various things on the map, such as dungeon entrances, graveyards, outdoor hunting zones, etc.

[Vitriol]

that system is really dumb I think. Putting the dungeons inside the mountains just makes the entire thing completely open for exploits and such.

[Karl G.]

it might be dumb, but it's easy. And exploits can be avoided with (a) good map design and (b) bug-free code

[thadiusofx3]

yeah dungeons inside mountains is really the easiest way to do it and like Karl said you can avoid exploits by doing the opposite of everything EJ does

Zing! lol

I think also that there should be a feature like when you make a dungeon the floor tiles inside it cant go on the outside cause i find it often goes outside the walls. this would also allow for a fill tool (think mspaint) just a little thing to make it easier.
