Issue having my new zone(s) work

Are you putting the weapon models in your zone? If so, that's the problem. You would have to replace one of the gequip* files to add weapon models.

OpenZone doesn't support particle effects. I simply haven't had the time to reverse-engineer how the client does them, and I don't think the .WLD format supports them. If you mean spell effects, I haven't reverse-engineered those either. If I did, I wouldn't put that capability into OpenZone anyway. That sort of thing really calls for a separate program.

I followed the steps for gequip replacement with my own files. My first 2 attempts thus far have allowed me to import some custom weapons, but once i zone out of the zone im in the game crashes. I am not yet using SC so .wld is still out of the question for a possible format. As for particle effects, I was mainly looking for weapon based particles. Ive had some time to mess around with both 3ds Max and Mia (Maia) which ever it is spelled, and I am a AutoCad and drafting expert (2 years mechanical engineer, 1 year architect, and about 6 years of AutoCad.). I cant say my renderings are the best out there... they arent, but my library is growing drastically as to what I have for models. Im just looking to basically recreate a new game from the gound up model and texture wise so that as SC gets developed more and more, I can eventually render my own game from scratch.

I cant seem to figure out why it crashes when I zone, and seeing as everything including the textures are within the parameters given within the forums, I am at a loss right now.

Far as I know EQ Uses wld format inside the s3d files i dont think simple client uses them at all

wow, my bad, wrong extension type, now i feel like an idiot posting, but my files that I do infact use, are in the correct format and yet they still cause a crash upon zoning. I ment rather then .wld being the correct format for eqemu. I dont use the .(extension) that does with SC just cause i havent gotten there yet.
