    Monroeville has now been released!
     
    An area south of Rosewood. This map contains a suburbia, Airport, Military base, Research Lab, City, Farms, and various outside settlements. The map is in a usable state. I plan to add more detail and buildings in the future. If you discover any bugs please report them here or in the Steam work shop page.
     
    You may download the map from the Steam workshop here.

    I've used many community made buildings from the Building Pool V2 which was made from 30 different Artists.
     
    I'd love to thank you all for your hard work in making this map possible!

    Below is the initial WIP post, you may also reply your bugs here.
     
    ~Initial post~
    My second map, and currently 10x10 cells. Features a suburb spanning 2 cells, a city, Airport, and various others. Lots of scattered settlements here and there as well. I'm trying to make every single building for the map, so it would be a new experience for everyone and to get some new buildings out there for everyone to use.  I am making this with quality in mind and want to make this map very detailed like others. The area I plan to place this would be south of Rosewood, and should roughly be the size of West Point as far as content..
     
    Not sure on the release date, regardless after this map I plan to make a huge map. Like 45x45 cells or more if possible. (inspired by Cardenaglo's bunjil map.) More info on that when this one is finished..

    everything went fine, although i didnt manage to rotate all of the buildings due to the mentioned retiling and refurnishing problems
    first release will include the map along with tommys settlement (road layout recreated 1:1 as possible thanks to freako's mod menu hacking videos he showed the settlement up close and from perspectives u werent able to see in game so big thanks to him) along with 7 different as closely as possible recreated buildingsfrom the game (the one above for example) and a lot of buildings taken from real life western american lakeside towns, a completely handmade and custom mainstreet lot with 11 different stores to explore along with 2nd story living spaces above (corner commercial buildings have 2-3 of those) amounting to about like 24 i think different places to scavenge all hand created in ~11 hours of work etc..
    2nd release will include the lakeside resort and the 3rd release might include the town you face david in including the bar and grill

    What a delightful thread to pass the time reading whilst my apple blueberry tarts bake.
     
    I once thought I wanted to play with other people, even RP maybe. ND was the clear choice.  But after writing up a great character, falling in love with the idea and then signing up on the website I was discouraged by the huge amount of (to me) arbitrary rules and that the lore was different from the SP game. I really like the lore of the game as it stands, so I didn't join. Boy howdy, am I glad. I would have had a terrible time, it sounds like.

    It's sad to see that most of the issues I tried to talk to the admins with during a stint as an admin on the server still apply. The below is a post I made privately to the other admins during this time.
     
     
    The words of it may seem mincing as I was trying to get the point across and being blunt and direct about it just caused them to close up or dismiss the issues as it just being trolls,. This  is what has sadly been done this time too, apparently.
    I ended up leaving because I had enough of trying to talk with people who take someone trying to use critical thinking to make things better, as personally attacking them. That and the endless arguments and the many issues stated above by Leanmelon above.
     
    I'd also like to add that ERP is a major issue this server and has been for some time. Due to is the very real possibility of what may essentially be paedophilia, due to adults soliciting cyber sex with people who could potentially be minors, because everyone knows it's not just adults who play these types of games. So sort this type of shit out before someone ends up going to prison for it. There's a reason I hate this shit in an RP game, or any game. Get it off your server.
     
    As to the rest Leanmelon makes all the points I would like to about the issues with this server, and has done so in a way which can't be pushed aside as them simply being a troll. Thank you.
     
    Finally for those who have enjoyed or enjoyed the server I hope someone can sort out these glaring issues as RP in Project Zomboid has been some of the most fun I've ever had, and I have New Dawn to thank for that. It's just sad that it's been taking over by admins who are known to abuse their powers for their own benefit and aren't willing to see what they're doing.

    Compilation of Reviews
    Hello everyone! Posting straight on here is none other than AGN's SuicideKamaKize. With the support of many, I was encouraged strongly to make a honest review of the server, being a player on here for two years. I will not only just include my opinions and reviews of the server, but include many others whom have already stated or agreed with points I'll raise or make. Below are only a few of the many records I hold of their opinions of the server. 
     
    Starting us off is Vcarrasola, a little bit about this guy, he's one of AGN's longest running players. He started off in Old Dawn before progressing to the New Dawn we know and love today. His review reads: 
     
     
     
     
    Another player I'll include is my good friend Emios. He's French and has recently started in the server about two months ago. He credits the server for increasing his ability to conversate in English in the real world. His review is similar to Carrasola's, except it provides much more in depth detail about the workings of the server.
     
     
    Unfortunately, for some reason, these reviews weren't left for long on the New dawn forums website, so I took the liberty of saving those and personally spread it around for those to see. Needless to say, the two were great guys OOC and were capable of some good roleplay. Keep in mind however, they won't be alone. They'll be joining a lot of former, disgruntled AGN players in a number of games such as Neverwinter Nights, or spend their time in another community with each other. Truly the best roleplayers have left for greener grass. Luckily for me, I am now a part of this band of roleplayers. Shoutout to these former players, who all left or was banned for similar reasoning. [Jack Bauer] [Dylan] [FatherTimesGames] [Jesterphobia] [Pvt.Motherfucker] [Devon Roberts] [Killsoty] [Mr.Blue] [Zaak] [CandyBar] [PrincePaul87] [Emios] [Vcarrasola] [Stotch] [Pann] [Capture Point Crusader] - - These are the guys I currently still have on my friendslist / / remember due to their excellent roleplay and OOC behavior. All driven away for the same reason. Let us remember them with our old theme, the Emotional Titanic Flute Song.

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
     
    I've no intentions of boasting, but for the sake of giving this review credit I must reveal a little bit about myself and the time I've spent here. Prior to NewDawn, I had been roleplaying for four years on multiple different communities and games. I came and spent two years before the inevitable death of Kamakize.  During the two years here, I've spent time in four different lores, and each and every time I can tell you right now. It's very repetitive in a sense. The server is presented the same problems each and every time, but they do not provide any concrete solutions to these problems. So many good players have fled because of this, and after tonight marked a breaking point for me. 
     
    With all of these problems AGN is presented with, where do they come from? My main theory is from two things. The two being:
     
    Playing To Win
    When you are roleplaying, "winning" should not be a goal in your mind, but rather telling a story from the point of your characters. Players playing to win want the best for their characters, being that one (not) badass tough guy spouting out cool one liners, or that one guy all the (IRL MEN) ladies pine after. This itself isn't a problem, but this is where everyone done fucked up at. If at any point something doesn't go their way, they will try a number of slimy things OOC to attempt to get themselves out of a predicament which could potentially have them lose or shame their characters. This is a very broad statement that covers a number of things I will try to discuss in full details later on. 
     
    Out of Character Cliques & Rivalries
    The destruction of roleplay itself, OOC cliques includes activities of holding & acting upon grudges because of one friend, meta gaming (sharing IC information OOC and acting upon it) and of course the subject I'll cover later admin corruption. These groups only do things to further their own gain and to keep their enemies down. Unfortunately for the server, when one group fills in EVERY admin slot on the server, that's when shit starts to go downhill.
     
    With a basic idea of what the main roots are to many problems facing AGN, I will now discuss the problems branching off from it.
     
    Combat Roleplay
    Combat before and during the "Gunderson Lore" mainly took place in the form of mechanical fighting. The rules were simple, you did a countdown before you went ape shit crazy on each other, and KOS was only allowed if the two parties had some form of roleplay before hand. This was a very effective way of executing battle scenes in my opinion, there was no hold ups or any mass confusion during any fight scene with however matter of players. The system is part of the game, which means its concrete and cannot really be cheated on like text / roll fighting. It does have its flaws, one being the target automatically chosen is the one closest towards you. You may roleplay a character being decent with aim but mechanically can't hit shit. [I suggested having each players aim raised to lvl 3 because it's the apocalypse and I'm sure somewhere during road they've learned or handled one. As for players roleplaying things such as soldiers, have them raise it higher. For the guys like me who you hate for having high stats? Set a ca - - 
     
     
    Eventually after this lore mechanical fighting was taken away all together and that's when things went downhill quickly. Everyone quickly scrammed to become the world's greatest hand to hand fighter, as well as be the perfect shooter in all of Kentucky. Players would attempt to dictate where the shot would land at, both for other players and themselves. Despite accepting grievous injuries that would hinder basic movement, if not all movement, players would find themselves pulling off super human actions. Almost every person I've combat fought over this server had power gamed to a great extent leaving behind a mess of roleplay. I cannot stress how tired I was of seeing ten+ bullets graze a person at point blank range. I cannot handle seeing a man being beaten near death, only to somehow escape by running into the nearby forest because mechanically they could sprint away. People pick and choose what they like, which includes being able to mechanically sprint away while at the same time be offered protection from any incoming mechanical fire that may result in doing so. You shouldn't be able to choose where a bullet lands or barely misses, a system should do that for you. Admin intervention is necessary, but when the admins themselves barely know what would happen in a situation like that so many of these things go unnoticed. Not to mention how you'd get away with things if you're friends with them.
     
    *Cartwheels away from bullets* *Drags large HAM radio after being starved and just given birth to child* *Shotgun blast close-range grazes leg, allowing him to run away*
     
    While this is a roleplay server and while it is ideal for things such as combat to go through proper roleplay, the community itself cannot handle such a thing. The mindset of the majority is fucked up and no one will punish them for this behavior. While we're on the issue of combat, I'd like to address "pistol spamming." I'm in no way claiming to be a military expert whatsoever, but if you think a man sits still during a gunfight and carefully fires off one round at a time because he's some super soldier, you're sorely mistaken. Now, this is roleplay and I honestly don't care if your guy does that or not, but when you begin to harass the players who's characters fight a different way by "pistol spamming" that's when I get salty. If you've done a bit of research, learn the definition of fear roleplay, you'd know exactly how many rounds a normal person would go through in a gunfight. Even if this an apocalypse where supplies are low -NewDawn never replicates the starving environment.- the last thing on that guy's mind is whether or not he'll have more for later. That's my take on things here. 
     
    Another thought to think about is whether or not mechanical death has any meaning. Let me tell you, if your characters death didn't mean shit over mechanical fighting, it certainly won't mean anymore over text fighting. A lot of the people here like to romanticize things, including the death of their own characters which is stupid. The chances of you smiling after being shot a shit load of times and cracking some shitty one liner is so low. Realistically your guy would be crying, shitting their pants, etc, but since this is NewDawn and everyone wants to be that badass with the greatest heroic death, it never happens. Moments before your death, my character cannot see or hear some third world narration on your characters demise as well. It breaks the rule where you can't emote your own character's thoughts or feelings.
     
    While this isn't related to combat, we should go over properly emoting things as well. Elitists, and some admins love emoting obnoxious thoughts OOC attacking the player/characters. It's so fucking sickening, I don't need to see three paragraphs on why your character is having fish tonight and why he hates another character. Just emote your actions like a basic human being and roleplay any visible signs of agitation or anger, thanks.
     
    NEXT TOPIC
     
    ERP
     
    Anytime the word lesbian is thrown in any PZ chat wherever, the first thought that comes to mind is NewDawn. Now, in recent times ERPing and lesbians running out into the woods hasn't been an issue. It's a thing of the past really, but there's still ERPing or RP that cater towards that way. In my opinion, I'm actually indifferent towards this. If you're so immature or young that you can't see that type of shit, the fuck are you doing here in the first place? It's an apocalypse where fucked up shit happens like rape. Then there's the fact we murder and manipulate each other which isn't very child friendly. No, ERP itself isn't the fucking issue. It's isolation RP.
     
    When I originally joined NewDawn, it seemed there was a large female character population that all surprisingly were homosexual. This didn't bother me at all, but the fact they all ran off together somewhere in the middle of the woods and didn't roleplay with anyone else, including new players pissed me off. Part of the reason why I did an entire lore of banditry was to rectify this. Drive them out of the woods, have them do some sort of conflict roleplay which would include other players. Simple right? Not so due to the fact they'd fight me not IC which would be good, but OOC. While there are so many details regarding this part of the post, it'd simply be enough to say, if the legendary bandit Edmund Gunderson didn't exist, the current lore would probably be similar to the ones in the past. Lesbians ERPing and a bunch of elitists talking shit around the campfire. 
    This ties in with us today, many of these players who had *ahem* ERPed or spent time together in these isolation camps have formed cliques. I don't need to name specifics, if you spent five minutes in NewDawn you'd know EXACTLY which players I'm talking about, because almost everyone else who isn't stupid and hasn't left has the same opinions such as me.
     
    Corruption
    This is actually pretty common in A LOT of roleplay servers today, AGN is no exception. We've had promises to clean house, and we did for brief times, however the admins that got kicked to the curb always came crawling back. Probably because of the lack of willing players, that's probably why the owner let them come back despite being exposed with evidence of their ill-wills toward players and activities. While I no longer have the screenshots, these guys are some of the nastiest elitists I've ever encountered. I've had several friends in the admin team working alongside them, and every day, they'd post some players information in the admin chat and would proceed to literally shit on them non-stop. If you didn't conform to their shitty roleplay standards it was basically over for you. They have abused item spawning, character resurrections and even turned a blind eye to cheating. (Item spawning, and skill boosting.) This all sounds relatively absurd, but when you pretend to be some fuckers friend and pretend you don't believe them, believe me, they'll start shelling out screenshots of their stats and items. I've witnessed admins follow characters during PVP initiations and hand out directions to their friends so that they may get the kill IC. I have seen admins even combat log and have their friends cry ignorance when the time came. (He was caught because we actually had one legit admin during this time.) Multiple players including myself brought this up with the owner, and he did nothing. There's so many stories I have there's simply not enough time and interest to go into details into each.
     
    It was pretty much over for me since the beginning anyways, since I had aligned with a certain Jack Bauer and played multiple bandits with him. By ripping the virtual girlfriend off certain admins, they began their hatred of us and thus began their long line of corruption. They even began harassing us in whatever way they could, spawning zombies in near our base, etc. It even evolved to one point of them finding Jack's facebook and trying to "strike" him. [Funny actually coming from a squeaker, a gender-confused boy/girl, and their feminist friends LOL.]
     
    Death of Kama
    Because I'm a guy who likes realism and believes death is a good part of roleplay, especially in an apocalypse server (fuck me), I got handed the meat repeatedly multiple times and I've managed to put up with it. I originally planned to quit during my second lore but because of a friend I stayed, and I was planning to make this lore (4th) my final by the end of it all, but it looks like that ended for me prematurely which doesn't bother me at all really. I knew I was going to get some shit from the admins (especially when the new head admin is the actual GF of the lesbian girl IG of whom I've roleplayed killing their girlfriends and burning their farm). During another confusing gunfight, players began shooting at me with shotguns with their low rate of fire, firing at least six shells before I reacted and fired five shots back at them. Instant ban hammer, and who was going to stop it? Anyone from the admin team who's all besties? Nope. The owner? Nah that dude's out. So just like any death should be, I said two beautiful lines before passing.

    Final Verdict
    This server suffers from so many problems and the staff and players alike are not willing to change this. They're happy with what they have which simply isn't good enough for me. I loved this server to the point it kept me tied down to PZ for over two years. If you've kept up with my rambling through this post, I ENCOURAGE you to join this server. Just like every single roleplay server in existence, it has its flaws. The players are immature dumb asses, the admins are weird and judgmental, and so 7/10 times your role play is going to end with you arguing with some kid on who's characters dick's bigger. However, you're going to meet some pretty cool guys as a result of this, and as my dude told me, the small parts of the server that you laugh and enjoy about is enough to offset the rest of the bullshit. It's my end on this server and probably the PZ game. NewDawn kept me tied up for about two years, so I'm gonna lace them up with a 6/10. Shoutout to the guys who made this a good experience.

    to be fair
    gta v had like more than 1000 people working on it according to benzies with a budget of about $250 million and the development went on for bout 3 years, most of those people had prob 5-10 or so years of experience on professional game making and are / were pretty much top tier professionals doing that for a living while pz started with like one or so devs on a crappy laptop and went through several major overhauls and its more indepth and enjoyable than 95% of the games currently on steam (at least in my opinion and im really picky about what i play in my freetime) and they have about 9 devs out of which 4 i think only joined in halfway into development and the coder theyve talked about whos joined a few weeks ago if im correct so if you put that into perspective you gotta give them that they did do a lot from the start on theyre the first people i know to replicate a big part of an entire real life state into a working isometric perspective with a whole lotta limitations, im from the midwest and the developers arent even american and yet they managed to make an us replica that makes me feel more at home than many us made games set in the states do and an engine they built from the ground up with this java thing which apparently is really limiting too
    i know gta v is probably a world away from pz in many ways but you gotta think about the fact that about 330 game dev legends with a budget of about $250 million took 3 years to develop an open world game and these guys are 5 years in development starting with no real budget and a tiny team of like 4 people and nowadays its a giant indepth zombie survival simulator on a near 1:1 replica of a part of a real life state with a billion features and more to come including an npc system that fooled several watchers into thinking the npcs are actual human players
    (not im not an expert on this so dont quote me on anything pls k thanks)
     
    and compare that with the steaming pile of shit known as dayz for example which was just a mod for arma 2 adding a hunger and thirst script along with some bare bones survival elements and a crappy generic zombie face texture and its 5 years into development with pretty much no big game changes and its still running on a hybrid arma 2/3 engine
     
    the devs did a whole lot of shit that you gotta respect wether you like this game and its current state / development speed or not
