Blackbeard06

So far so good, took a short break so I don't get too burnt out, but Monroeville is coming along nicely. I just finished up on a area of suburbia, added a few things, and now working along the commercial areas nearby. So far I have made 35 new buildings which I'll release separately when the map is done.
Added a pic of my 4 monitors. 10 points to whoever can guess who I'm listening to, 10 more points to whoever can guess the name of the music video. Hint, gonna visit Canada to see them at Montebello RockFest this June. By then I should have this map done or at least in the final stages.

WELL HOLY SHIT BLACK BEARD JUST OPENED THE FILE

IM GOING TO CRY
This is fantastic work

So far things are going smoothly. A lot of time will be spent on making each building for this map as I am trying to make everything on my own. I may outsource other buildings from other creators, but for now so far every building is of my own creation. I am working on the suburbs section of the map, making sure I get some quality work done, hopefully I can estimate an ETA, but so far I'm still not sure when I will be done. I've also decided to make a laboratory in the map, this place will be a key location that could add some backstory on how the infection spread, in time we will all see soon what could be there.

Very cool! I really like how the layout is setup. I will be looking forward to this map! I am also making a map and buildings are becoming a time consumer. I will share what I have, also if you make some could you host them for us as well? Also, I am trying to fix some old community buildings and so far I have fixed all of Atoxwarrior's red ? issues I'm going down the list of what I have. I have not fixed all of them, yet.. I have updated the Building Pool and added some new buildings I literately just finished making. I am currently working on the residential side of my map and have made 13 various residential buildings. Once I get to the city I'll have more city buildings. Check out the building pool topic for the download link and updates, also I'll link the download directly to the 2/22/17 update for your convenience. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4F2G0d3O96VVkwtVmJVYUNQZDg/view?usp=sharing

Now I have even more reason to finish that tutorial i was making for randomly generating maps of any given size. 

Moved to Mapping WIP.

Alright so I have learned some new things and decided to rebuild the map using the new techniques. After a few hours... I'm Done! Here's some pictures of my first map.

I've managed to search the forums of every player made building and assembled them all into one archive. In addition I have created this forum post that organizes all the buildings to make searching very fast. (link down below) This would hopefully help mappers easily find and use buildings to save some time. As I was looking at each players contributions about 35% had dead links, so I could not get all of them. Also if the buildings required custom tiles I did not include them as there were no working links.

This greatly improves finding which building you need rather than wasting time searching.  I have also added Pictures so most buildings in the archive now comes with a picture you can view before opening.

For all your hard work and dedication!
 
If you have buildings you should add it to the database Simply create a folder with your name and add all your building .tbx files into it then send me a download link. Feel free to add any pictures.
 
If anyone does not want their creations in this archive let me know and I will remove them. Since I am dealing with a lot of files, I will need you to provide the building names.
 
One last thing. Please credit the original artist if you plan to use any of these buildings in your creations.

Yay! This was way due! Finally someone made a great video tutorial instead of a messy forum post.
 
EDIT: not forgetting Thuztor's great tutorials!

After learning what I could with making a map I am now working towards my first of 3 projects.
 
The Limited Area is a real-world naval military installation located in Kings Bay, GA. This part of the base is a storage facility for many of the nuclear warheads in the United States. Using publicly available information I am going to recreate the Limited Area of the base. I will try to make the facility a 1v1 scale, but will exclude some details and will incorporated some of my own for the Project Zomboid universe. It will be made entirely form scratch and have custom buildings. Here are some of my work that is currently on going.
 
I am not sure when this will be complete, but I am working on it everyday and am anticipating to complete it in 2 weeks.

Sweet! Awesome updates. Keep it rolling.

Here you will find a (hopefully) comprehensive guide to map modding using TileZed, from scratch, to uploading to Steam Workshop.
 
Step 1) Installation and setup
 
 
Step 2) Creating a new map

- Creating A Master Image
 
- Creating The Base Map Image
 
- Creating The vegetation Map Image
 
- Creating The Zombie Spawn Map Image
 
- Importing into WorldEd
 
 
Step 3) Creating/Adding custom buildings
Navigate to your TileZed folder and create a new folder inside named Buildings, this is where you are going to save any buildings you make or download.
 
- How to create custom buildings
 
- How to add buildings to your map
 
 
Step 4) Exporting and testing the map
- Exporting
 
- Getting it in game
 
 
Step 5) Adding world detail

Big thanks to Capt_Paradox, Blackbeard06, Suomiboi, Thuztor and the whole modding community ❤️

After a very long time of waiting  I have decided to bite the bullet and do my own research and find out how to make a custom map for Project Zomboid. After a Red Bull fueled, grueling 3 days of research I have finally found out how to get started with making a map. I have decided that I would do the community a service and create a tutorial video on how to make a map. A complete all in 1 guide that covers all aspects of the tools and steps needed to get your creativity in gear. The video is long, but worth the watch as you will be on your way to making maps in just a little over 1 hour. I've also added skippable chapters in the video description so you can skip ahead or easily find what your looking for.
 
~update~ I've added another video explaining the spawnregions.lua file. It is annotated in the video with a link.
 
This wouldn't be possible without some help from others and would like to thank Capt_Paradox, Will, RingoD123, and EasyPickens for your support!
 
If you have any questions please feel free to reply to this topic, the youtube video channel, and or The Indie Stone Community Discord and I will try my best to help you in anyway I can.

Blackbeard put some serious work into this. I can't say I've seen a tutorial this in depth before.
