Hello survivors, wanted to reassure everyone I'm back at work on the new version of Dreadwood.
I know I've posted many progress updates in the past but this project is much bigger in comparison. To be constantly posting screens of the map isn't very productive as everything is constantly changing for the better. On top of that the maps size is now up to 64 cells (8x8 square) and I've plans for every last one of them to ensure each location is interesting and varied.
As for now my focus has been on flushing out all of the many roads and building the larger buildings I have planned. I've done my best to stay up to date on creative mode but I'm still not sure how much of an aid it will be creating all the residential homes I'm hoping it can. By far furnishing buildings is the most time consuming which is why I'd like to get my hands on creative before wasting any more time.
Otherwise I hope to get this map done and on the steam workshop this summer.
Here's a small mall I've been working on.
hey there @Pridelost, just wondering, i am wanting to get into making a map based off of a town i made for a World of Darkness campaign, but i kind of need to make new vegetation lists and new tiles and a bunch of stuff... do you have any advice or anything else that i could use to get started (this is going to be a relatively big map with some very dense and interesting locations, and i am planning to use stairs (hills) and walls (cliffs) to make the lavacones the place is built on seem more realistic and 3D
I've only worked with the vanilla tiles so any advice I give is just speculation. Anyways you'll have to arrange them on sprite sheets, make sure they're in the directories the editors look for the sprites in. Than in BuildingEd enter the Building Tiles screen (double click anything in Tiles and Furniture tab) to add your sprites into the game. I'm positive there's more to it as I've never done it.
Best advice I can give you though it to stay away from attempting any type of elevation. As the engine is for Zomboid it'll only be clunky and awkward. If I remember correctly elevation has been being discussed lately, weather or not it's to be added I cant confirm, but I'd suggest waiting if it is to be.

Hello fellow survivors. Sorry to bump this without really anything to show for the time I've been absent but I just wanted to say I'm still here. Got a great heap of adult stuff to deal with that's been weighing pretty heavy on me. It's been awhile since I've worked on the updated Dreadwood but I still have all the work waiting for my return. I hope to get back into a good groove and continue working on this project, but yeah things kind of suck right now. Until than thanks everyone, i'll give an update when I figure it out more.

Servers still doing well and is on Build 32 now. If anyone's looking for a challenging survival experience and realistic role play this is a good server to check out. The forums are being moved and it's a little messy but all you have to do is register on the site. Hope to see more players soon!

they look like parts to a metro or subway train.

I was worried about the same thing but a quick play-test let me go right up them. Added more railings so it don't look so treacherous even though you cannot fall off stairs. Thanks for the feedback! The platform is a little bland right now but maybe a little table or box could fix it. Been trying to test my buildings so as to not forget about them in the process, the less bugs the better!
-
I was did diagonals as buildings too but also made straight buildings spanning 100pixels each. I think I'll use them ass place holders and repaint them in tiled if I run into any problems. Thank you!

Maybe when the the cell is filled in with more rooms instead of one giant one the lagg will not be so bad, not sure if the roof would cause lagg if it's just one big flat-top. I was thinking of something similar, except using the hedges to make a huge 1-cell hedge maze for last stand. Get to the exit, have wall-less rooms for loot along the way and some small shacks for sleeping if in SP.

Spent awhile looking around the forums, I know I've seen someone else ask about this, but couldn't find it. Is there any chance we'll be getting the tile sets for the places in Valley Point? I see store-brand signs in the mall, the Gun's a Blazin inn, a fireplace in the hunting lodge. It really isn't a big deal, just looking for an answer. Otherwise I feel like I missed them somewhere :\

Hello everyone, hope you're all well. Going to be taking the weekend off for my birthday so I uploaded images of the map where it is right now. You can check them out in the original post on the first page.
Whats new?
Improving the grass texture to make it more realistic
Added more trailers
Added more suburban homes
Added some shops and a train station.
Added the highway asphalt
(train station)
A lot on my plate for Dreadwood but man it feels good to be back into mapping. I may try and add more cells around the map for just vegitation. I get the feeling having the city on the edge of the map might be a pain

Not empty enough! Maybe the occasional dead mouse or rat. Or so much dust its an item.
I'll check out that definition, thanks for finding it.
-
Maybe you could request them to add a null room definition that does what your looking for? I've tried finding a way but yeah the "all" definition makes it impossible.
-
Thanks for the replies, BuildingEd seems like the way to go for this.
-
Is it best to create railroad track sets in BuildingEd then place them as .lots in the world or to paint them in tediously with the stamp tool in TileZed? Is there much of a difference between the two tasking wise?
-
Never give up! Good luck in your mapping endeavors.

I see in the Muldraugh train yard the train houses have industry wall caps. I've looked through every sprite sheet (not just the wall cap ones) and cannot seem to find it anywhere. I may be tired and not realize im looking right at it haha.
The only industry roof cap I can find is the white one with green trim. Walls_exterior_roofs7

Is there an option or something that saves it as an image? Or do I just have to cut and paste all the cells into one document with photoshop or something like that?
-
Thanks for the help!

There will be 9 for sure. More possibly if I need to expand but that should do it.
Here is a survivor doing well enough in the new Dreadwood.

I've been unable to make my grime selection apply to the exterior wall, it only modifies the interior walls (of the room I have selected). Normally not a problem but I'm doing trailers and I'd really like the base of them to be a part of it. Seems like I have to tile it as grime so it wont be counted as furniture (does not look right if I just place it anyways) but it won't apply to the outside. Any help?
Gah figured it out 5 minutes after I posted this.
The secret was going to properties and realizing there was a building trim. Still cant get the edge pieces to look right.

If anyone has this problem:
Place Building in WorldEd
Save as .pzw
Open cell in TileZed
to Edit -> Preferences -> Zomboid
Add the .pzw file
Restart TileZed
-
Okay this one is really bugging me. I place my .lot (building) in WorldEd, however in the cell view I can only save it as a .pzw. How can I save it so that I can view it in TileEd for detailing the terrain around it? Please help
So frustrating!
I remember when I did it before that the buildings just showed up in TileEd when placed in WorldEd. Why wouldn't they now? I've uninstalled and re installed the editor so many times and kept everything in the same folder on the desktop, in the zomboid folder, in the editor folder, but nothing is getting these buildings to show up. *cry*

Sorry to hear about all the difficulties with the original Dreadwood. The project ran into difficulties in the past which is the reason I've been making a better one. As it stands I'm not going to put the original on the Steam workshop as it's out of date. Maybe it'd be for the best if I just removed it but I'd rather just take the time to add more to the new map.
