grivcin Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Just had a big boo-boo happen yesterday..... My laptop decided to crash so I had to reinstall windows again..My brand new router also decided to go POOF! Crappy day, crappy day. Luckily I make backups, but wasn't the latest backup since last week.......G*&^**!! At least I still have some of the backup on the cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctahWong Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Question, what did you use to make you map?, thinking of making my own(I'm terrible at drawing though), unless Mendonca's Random Mapzoid gets updated with features like highways(The large roads aren't large enough, trying to mimic the main game's highways), oceans(seas, and rivers). And that map looked like it took weeks to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that map looked like it took weeks to make.I used Photoshop because it's the one program I know how to use, but photoshop sometimes screws up my bitmaps, don't know why. So I started using GIMP (which is also like Photoshop...just not as pretty) which is easier to use than photoshop just getting used to the keyboard shortcuts. I looked online for the map to Chernarus, then just basically drew the map with keyboard and mouse..all doable, just takes time. Especially with all the layers....

mendonca Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 You can edit the width of the 'major' roads in mapzoid, if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a separate config file called 'init.cfg' that has a few variables you can play about with. One of those is the width of 'major' roads (the roads which run from town to town, and sometimes in the centre of larger towns). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grivcin Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Ok so this is what I'm after. I managed to make a poster, but I also made a custom wall but it doesnt line up properly...it overlaps with other things, bad placement I suppose..since there are no guides yet on how I'm just free ballin it but am stuck.

grivcin Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Here's the poster, it works properly, Here's the other view, i guess I transformed the image, maybe stretched it to far And this is what I want to accomplish,(not mine) but would like some help to understand tile placement to be able to create it and make it work and have the tiles connect or join properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctahWong Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Maybe Thutzor could help you, since he is making a tile pack for his very own map project, so he probably knows some stuff. And that's a nice looking archwall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mendonca Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 http://theindiestone.com/community/viewtopic.php%3Ff=34&t=5627.html Check the above tutorial out ... It was written a while ago and the image links are broken, but it might be a reasonable start. I'll dig out the template files I had set up and share them here. (Nice rubble walls, Grivcin ! ) Edit: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/66536185/TileObjectsSplunkoid.pdn https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/66536185/TileObjectsArchitecture.pdn Try either of these files in Paint dot net, it might give you a pointer on how to lay out tilesheets. (note I do not know how to make tilesets work for the new Zomboid - just managed to do it for previous versions - Thuztor is the man for that ) grivcin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctahWong Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 LOL. Wong you crack me up. What's TF2? I'm not a heavy online multiplayer person. LolA FPS game made by Valve, it turned FPS in 2012 i think. It had a map that has a sort of styling like that building, man if only HL3 was released... but ever since they made Steam, games never came from them... OVERKILL made Payday in order to give us hope in Valve... but it failed, and they're making monay thanks to Steam... and here's their new slogan!: "We used to make games. Now we make money.". Kind of makes sense. But hey!, at least Steam is better than Origin right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grivcin Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 For anyone who wants to place tiles according to what type of tile it is, here is a reference (kinda'). Basically you just put the tile where you want it to show up. So basically when creating multiple tile objects make sure they are within the cubes, so when aligning the cubes in the editor they will join perfectly!
