Ok , here it is, the rar file also contains the linkermap so put that in your eqemu\server\maps folder and then replace your tutorial zone with the rest. I dont have time to finish all the quest im working on for the zone yet so you have to fill it up how you want , Hope ya like it.

hello all,
I'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong but when i tried this zone out, all i'm getting is the Original tutorial zone with some buildings and trees missing. So I guess i'm not to sure what to try next, I probably missed soemthing very simple just can;t seem to find it.
Thanks

THANK YOU!

Very very cool!

Do you happen to have a serverside .map for this too for spellcasting purposes?

Would be really helpful and appreciated!

One other question, please. Is there any chance that you'd release the openzone files for this so that people who want to use it could, perhaps customize it a bit further? For example, maybe change the signs a little... or perhaps add some more or different windows.. or put in more furniture and objects?

You know, stuff like that.

It's an incredible piece of work you did, and it can also serve as an excellent tutorial for a lot more than EQ... it can also serve as a tutorial on Openzone, which could perhaps help more people get into that facet of world building easier.

Especially in terms of trees, which are oh so difficult to do, especially considering there are no zones like this available in OZ format to study (that I know of).

Please consider making the source for this zone available?

yes I put a linkermap file in with the zip. I dont mind giving out the scene file either but you would need all the textures also that I have. may take a bit for me to get that all into a file and put it up for download.


but anyway , heres a pic of another zone im workin on and i got the trees to work finally thanks to Scorp.
