OpenZone 1.0
On the EQ Development forum there was a question about making our own zones. I've had a program for a while now that can make .WLD files that you can use, but only at the cost of overwriting existing ones (it's an EQ limitation, not an OpenZone one). The program lets you create scene files or import existing ones and export them to .WLD, but that's only scratching the surface. It also includes a script parser that makes it really easy to add more things to the zone geometry, like buildings, staircases, or anything else you can script.
There's a lot it can't do, like put in placeable objects (trees, torches, and such), but there's a lot it *can* do. Think of it as a proof-of-concept program that would be a good starting point toward making original zones.
I've typed up some basic documentation for it, and it has sample scene files that you can immediately export to .WLD and try out. To really get the full use of the program, you should place the textures it needs in the appropriate folder; the docs tell you how to do this.
THIS PROGRAM IS TOTALLY UNSUPPORTED. I'm washing my hands of it, and the source is included (I can't even begin to tell you how sick I am of working on it). I'll entertain questions at the start for people who want to get started using it, but don't even ask me for bugfixes :P
It's in the SourceForge files section. You can get there from the "Files" link on the left side of the EQEmu homepage.
