RingoD123 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Hey guys, as some of you may know, the first community map mod, Bedford Falls ( http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/6672-bedford-falls-test-v1/ ) is in its first test phase, once I have enough reported bugs and a few more buildings have been finished I will be tidying it up, meshing it up properly with Muldraugh and West Point and releasing it as a final version. In the meantime I have started planning the next town (city really), which at the moment has the brilliantly original name of "Newtown" because: A) Its newandB) it has a very large city area made up of typical American "blocks" that reminds me of New York. Its 10x10 cells big, making it 4x the size of Bedford Falls, were looking at 4 full cells of very dense city centre, 12 full cells of less dense city centre around it, 12-14 full industrial cells, about 24 full residential cells and a good 6-8 cells worth of farms, the rest will be made up with wilderness around the outskirts of the map. Obviously this map mod is going to take some considerable time to complete compared to Bedford Falls, but I wanted to get the basic plan out there now so all you lovely building makers have some ideas of buildings that i'll need. Im going to measure the smallest city blocks and the largest city blocks and then let you guys know these dimensions so you can make your "city centre" buildings accordingly.Specifically, I would love buildings that occupy an entire block, but with each face (North, East, West and South) possibly belonging to a separate store/office. So, for example, you might have a 5 story city building where the south facing side is a store that is restricted to the first 2 floors, the west side is also a store, but is only on the ground floor, the east and north facing sides are both offices that reach all the way to the top floor, but do not join up inside (unless someones takes a sledgehammer to the walls ).Any/all other buildings are still welcome, but the above style buildings will help the city centre look a lot more like a city centre. Also, another "type" of building we don't have that many of at the moment are regular houses/stores that face West or North, so they would also be good to concentrate on. Anyway, heres the first 2 pics so you guys can get a good idea of the layout, notice I even have an area for a "central park" <3 syfy, Maklane, Jela331 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctahWong Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Damn you Ringo and your original town names. I can't think for shit of a town name. So i steal them from The Last Stand since i'm so unoriginal. :3 Anyway, looking forward to this completelyoriginalandbrilliant project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thuztor Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Give me the values of the land and I'll make you one, or maybe several. Skype me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingoD123 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Give me the values of the land and I'll make you one, or maybe several. Skype me.Were looking at 40x23 tiles for the smallest "block" and 63x39 tiles for the largest "block", so buildings of these sizes and anything in between would be great. But if anyone wants to make larger buildings, thats fine also as the city area just outside the centre has larger "blocks" which range from 70x58 tiles to 103x112 and values inbetween. If anyone who wants to make a "city centre" building wants to know the exact values of a certain block to make sure your building will fit then just give me a holla, but generally speaking, at least for now, any city buildings made to these sizes or inbetween will fit somewhere in the city.

leviafern Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 This is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloDiaspora Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 This, THIS is why we need elevated highways. Be sure to put some kind of highway system in for the town, if only so we can lead the resultant ludicrous hordes around the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaelkerensky Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 With a city center that dense I wonder what would be the result of setting zombie number to insane in sandbox... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobheckling Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 This will be amazing to play on multiplayer or single player with npc, imagine setting on insane(lots and lots of zombies)hopefully the city will only have hordes of zombies and it will reduce the further you get away from the city.The developers need to include cars before this gets it's first release....

Painis_Cupcake Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Looks like it'll be amazing! Now I just have to figure out a new name for my project. I actually live in a place called Newtown and I'm already working on the map for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pridelost Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Once I release Dreadwood I'd love to take a more active role in this. I think of Zomboid every time I go into Boston. If I could get the specific cell size for the Central Park I'd be really interested in doing that. Here are some town names cupcake.

dannyisdude Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Holy shit. I've wanted a map like this, sort of like NYC that has a very dense city area. I would love to see any work done on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
