Does anyone want some custom zones?

Anyway yes by all means release Copper City.

Okay, two things.

FIRST: I want to give out the SCN file along with the *required* textures and meshes for that zone (or put together a package of textures, meshes and models for this project as an add-on for openzone). I would like people to be able to play around with what we have done, change it , and learn. I feel this will lead to more people doing zones, and then everyone benfits.

SECOND: I registered a project on sourceforge today. It will take a while to get approved, but when it does I can't imagine anyone else I would like to ask to be an admin on it first. Interested?

I am also very sorry to hear about your bad luck and feel bad I cant do anything to help you out but I am starting a new life in a new country and its taking all I have to survive at the moment, I hope things look up for you soon.

Thanks, and best wishes to you on your move. You didn't move to some strange country and have to learn a new language... like Canada did you?

Also I offered before to make any zones to replace EQ zones for people or even for SimpleClient and that offer still stands as long as no one wants my scene files too :O

With the new sourceforge project, there will be a central place for new zones, textures, meshes, etc to be shared.

Truly a frightening thought indeed. Godspeed, Sakrateri.

Hey Scorp. You can give away the zone I gave you too by the way.

Thanks, but I don't have the scn file or textures/meshes for it.

I am trying to keep it open source (as much as OZ has "source" for a zone)

I found this, it will give a little preview of what I am talking about: http://scorpious2k.cafe150.com/ click the picture of the zones you want to see more about. I didn't have Homeland Islands in when i did this, so for those zones you will have to wait to see (or download the files and get on my server and collect your own screen shots

Looks like we need a plan "B". I got this back from sourceforge:

Greetings, The project you are requesting is being rejected, as we have
determined that it is a content generating project, rather than a project
developing Open Source Software. SourceForge.net exists to allow projects a
development environment for creating Open Source Software. Its purpose is
not to host personal content or content which may take up our resources but
which no real software development may be realized. Based on the description
of the project you have provided us, your project is being rejected.
Thank you, SourceForge.net Support

Ideas anyone?

I thought about this and that zone is too awesome to not make available even without source. So I will set up a separate category for zones without source.

Thank you Richardo!

Richardo's Sunset Home zone is now online and available for download.

Im having some issues with manhattan, juno and nektropos and Tutorialb...

The zone lines when you hit them try zoning me into "Unknown zone" and puts me back to the zone in point of the zone im in, and sometimes right on the zoneline causing a neverending loop of zoning...

Did you restart the server and making the changes?

Can you paste the numbers from the DB - select * from zone_points where zone like 'ruj%';

That would give manhattan and juno (and others) if you used the same zones we did.
