hmm this don't seem to be changing anythign beyond clip planes for fog...
could you explain what this should do?

oh another thing, it seems like your line has more values than I have collums in the zone table...

[Sakrateri]

Yes with some newer databases there have been new colums added, try this and it should work with the newest AX and PEQ DB.

INSERT INTO `zone` VALUES ('nektropos','','Nektropos',0,0,0,0,0,28,0,0,1,NULL,-2030,1500,2000,500,2000,0,0,0,2,1,1,0.4,2,0,0,0,450,450,0,0,0,450,450,0,0,0,450,450,0,0,0,450,450,'',1);

As for an invisible maze I am not sure, I downloaded the file myself and tried and it works fine, the only thing I can think is that they did finally use that zone and mabey there is an eqg file in there, See if you have a file called nektropos.eqg in your EQ folder and if so rename that file to something else and try.

[ChaosSlayer]

don't seem to work
my DB is latest from Cavedude, but your insert line has like 3 values more than i have collumns =)

Also there is no .eqg for Nektropos

oh while we on subject of new zone and graphics- is it posible to change the splash screen? The stupid DoD werewolf is hideously annoying....
I won't mind going to a splash screen from one of the previous expansions

Silly me. Tried to use this with the standalone tutorial from SOE and it didn't work. Teaches me to read the entire thread next time.

Hey all, been awhile but I have been trying to perfect my zone making ability and here is one to replace ruja it is a massive zone made entirely in 3dmax...hope you like.





It is not finished yet as i still have to add all the zone models (trees , shrubs, ect.) but heres a taste...


Ruja

Once perfected these will be the kind of zones seen in my game FatesDestiny I am working on.
