Zone design question
 

Hi, I did a search for 1 word (complex), but didn't find an answer I was looking for. I was just curious which era of zones we're able to make for EQEmu? I was playing around with the zone builder, but I was only able to make a single level zone. Is it possible to make zones, like black burrow for instance? with tunnels winding around/over etc. Are we able to create zones similar to stuff all the way up to PoP? or is it more old world at the moment? (luclin previous)

I played EQ for almost 5 years and thought it would be fun to try and make my own zones. I use to play MUD's as well as build for a couple, and have been itching to make... something... for years.

Thanks for the info, and once I get my computer back online, i may try my hand at it and see what I can do.

OpenZone is a great tool, but hit its maximum when you want have a zone with a complex geometry. You might be able to create a black burrow zone like by playing with OpenZone and Dungeon Builder but it start to be a good challenge.
Another idea would be to use Q3 Radiant, but one of the big problem with radiant is you will have to force yourself to not do a Q3 like map :)

If you want to do complex zone, eqlive quality, the best thing is "hand edit", aka 3D Software, like 3DSMax / Maya, you can get GMax for free, its a great software. Those software will allow you to do impossible things with an editor.

THanks for the info. Once my comp is back online, I'll start playin around and see what I can do.
