Neutz Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) UNION CITY With Louisville a still a while off I decided to take up the task of getting a good sized city into the game. Also, Yes the map does borrow the name from the last stand web browser games but otherwise has no relation If anyone would like to help out with buildings, comment here or PM me. I don't have alot of time to work on the map these days, every now and then i will post updates though It has many buildings made by myself and other contributors, i have also made alot of custom tiles for the map. Most recent progress Residential Housing High School A Victorian mansion. Just one of Legoland99's many creations, Custom Sprites This map includes new sprites and variations made by myself I have made a bunch of clutter objects to make the world feel more lived in and immersive Thanks to the following This map will also contain buildings from the community.

Neutz Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) I have got most sprites working in game now, The different colors really make a difference and give the game a fresh look for those who have been around for a long time and seen everything. Made a more modern looking home for eg. Edited June 18, 2017 by Neutralnz1 Z3759xy, Nisora, Rekkie and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brex Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Nice map, though I was hoping this would be a recreation of Union City from TLS. However, it still looks nice. That high school looks like it could be an epic base. xXxFANCYCAPYBARA36xXx and Legoland99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashFire Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Well woaw. It's awesome, great work ! That sprite working in order to make the world more 'lived' is awesome. making me think about the ability of actually PUT things ON table/containers would be great too. Keep up the good work !

I made the Window sprites specifically for it. Maybe you can spot the scene it's in Edited June 20, 2017 by Neutralnz1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciber Ninja Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Something that a lot of maps miss that I think you should consider: there are a TON of farms in the midwest where the game is nominally set, and I feel like most mappers bypass their usefullness as a content buffer between cities and forrests. You really need to make very few buildings relative to area covered if you make your farms of a realistic size. Legoland99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutz Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Needed a break from endless suburbs buildings, I started to get an idea on how the beachfront area will play out though it probably wont appear in the first release. Brighter Pavements, Large apartments / Hotels further on into the City along the beach etc etc. Started a modern/expensive looking apartment Anyone wanna make me some palm tree tiles ?

Legoland99 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Almost done with making 80+ buildings this past week for the suburbs, looking forward to any ideas you guys have for me/us.

At this stage the entire map in the overview is planned to be city but we were considering in making a lot of rural farmland to the south if you want extend my original raw map i can send it to you so you can line it up. But don't draw on the areas already layed out as i edit it as we need. Could really be any size as long as its not wider than 12 Edited June 21, 2017 by Neutz Legoland99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutz Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Double post but i had to show off Legolands amazing work. He has created a huge number of buildings which i will now work into the map, This is just showing them all off. While some have a similar exterior they are all furnished and colored differently so exploring is always fun and every house is unique in some way. I also really like the shops he made so here's a closeup . Furniture, appliance and sewing stores, Gun store and an internet cafe. h Edited June 21, 2017 by Neutz Legoland99, VikiDikiRUS, Nisora and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could really be any size as long as its not wider than 12 If he could do that then we could actually make the map more realistic. KY has a lot of farmland and this gives us the opportunity of having the player run in forests, having an outpost at a farm or at the outskirts of the town. It will be remotely set unlike the city, where the player could try to establish an outpost or a safe zone for himself or others to survive. We need the map to be balanced, the the farms and rural area around it would give a great vibe. To you Ciber Ninja, contact Neutz and if not me, we'll talk it over if you're interested and intend to help us. Best of luck, and help us bring this map to the world to see.

Ciber Ninja Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I am thinking of creating a google sheet to list buildings that are needed. Does that sound like a good idea? I think it would help organize the sheer number of buildings this map needs. Todays progress: Legoland99 and srandiny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutz Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Its not really needed, the sheer number of buildings we need people can make whatever they want. Though i will usually request certain types depending on what area we are working on. At the moment its just residential housing, we will probably need another 200 or so to finish the current part of the map. Also your farmlands are looking really great Edited June 24, 2017 by Neutz Legoland99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legoland99 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Darn, the farmland's look really nice. It does give the game more credibility, thanks for helping us out ! Maybe some forest areas in-between would be nice, see as you like it tho ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciber Ninja Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Purple/ Red is planned forrest. Took hours but I finally hit on a simple 200 step process to producing beautiful farm fields. Here is a zoomed in example: It only requires two clicks on each farm you want and every other step works on the image as a whole. So I could scale this up to an entire counties worth of farms with negligible increase in processing time. How hard would it be to add a rule tilezed so that yellow in the veg map translates to grain like is in the farm west of Knox county?

How hard would it be to add a rule tilezed so that yellow in the veg map translates to grain like is in the farm west of Knox county? Its looking really good, Have you loaded the map into tilezed and seen how it appears in the editor? I'm assuming you mean the corn field's just north of Muldraugh in game at the farm? Should be doable if you could find the code that creates trees from the green colours and work from that. But that's a complete guess. On another note here is an update on the suburbs progress, I've worked all of Lego's houses into the map now and thanks to Rekkie pointing me in the right direction i have got first of the pallets and weapon's tables sprites i made working so that when they are looted they appear empty and vice versa, I just have to set it up for all of them. Now sitting at just over 600 buildings progress is coming along well the time consuming part is making the houses.

Legoland99 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Mostly me trying to not use the same house models when creating something new and resisting the urge to just recolor the old houses I made. I've got some things that will soon patch a loot of the neighboring area (houses facing north since there's a lack of them as you can all see).
