An old zone view with some custom content :

I'm not a 3D artist, Just use basic function of openzone for make object like ground.
I make my Global_obj.s3d with my objects and use objects from kerraridge_obj.s3d
Many many many patience and Db table Doors modification.
Is not marvelous but custom everquest zone :p

Nice screenshots Belfedia, and glad to hear you succeded in using "global_obj".

This is a good example of customising a zone using EQ contents, and note that, like Belfidia said, there is no modeling skill required here, everyone is able to customise their zones.

Some new examples of custom zone.
I use only OpenZone for make my Global_Obj.S3D and many work with the table Doors.
I can use it for change many things in zone.

Looks real nice, does all that come in the OpenZone package, or did you handcraft some of it?

looks really nice, ive always thought about takeing a look at doing custom zones and stuff, but i first need to get better at peral and database related stuff, one step at a time, but that looks nice.

Each zone have more graphic files

Namedzone.s3d (the zone graphic)
Namedzone_chr.s3d (the char graphic in this zone)
Namedzone_obj.s3D (the object graphic for zone)

I use in DB
the table door (contain doors and tp stone but also placement of little object)
I can put more object from Namedzone_obj.s3d, like tree, barrel, door, torch, etc...

I can't add my object in Namedzone_obj.s3d
But with the help of great openzone software,
I make my global_obj.s3D files who work with all zone.
I put in additionnal object like wall, tente, flag, door, etc...
Objects are designed in OZ for many. A friend with 3D modeler help me
for some complex object like tente :)
