Rydus-Wall

[Slanesh]

Almost completely finished this one. It's going to be one of the main cities in my RP'ing server, so I wanted to make it have a separate map from the hunting areas (I've attributed off everywhere beyond the bridges, so when you cross a bridge it actually moves into a different map. This way, I can have this as a SAFE map to disable PKing in town (means it's a safe place to idle, etc).

I still need to add the quests, but I've got all shop enterances and most of the NPCs working perfectly

I'd like opinions and possible improvements please!

EDIT: Thanks to Farril and Toxick for suggesting how I should work the attrib markers and MapInfo - works a treat!

Very very nice map I really like it. I think maybe some more path somewhere just to fill it out a bit more as it still seems a bit empty if ya know what I mean. Other than that nice map, very nice. Good luck with server, I know I'll be playing definitely.

 

[Slanesh]

Thanks m8 I'm actually filling up the map now as I type (well not AS I type, but whilst I'm browsing boards). The image quality is a bit sucky, as you can't see half of the detail which was already in it.

 

[Vagrant]

wow!nice map m8 any chance u releasing it ?

 

[Slanesh]

I won't be releasing my server map files publicly (obviously you'll be able to downlaod them). If I ever get around to it, I'm actually planning to make a spare server map set (of like 25 maps) which I'll be releasing.

 

[Far]

really like that, looks v proffessional, imo it would work better if you could go outside the castle. but its still very good like tht. wd

 

[TheBoss]

Very very nice map

 

[Ragnar]

That map looks VERY good, although yes if you would add a forest and stuff around the town it would be PERFECT!

I really like it but its too similar to BW looks a bit boring , but its an awesome map .

ok thanks m8

 

[Toxick]

the map looks very nice, nice detailed and everything, i just have some things to pick :P

firstly, when you walk out do you pass the bridge to change map? and can you walk inbetween the water and the wall(the small sand area) as the middle part of the right hand side, its to close to the end of the map, so if someone ventures out to there... they will see blackness..

secondly the trees, from looking at the picture, they all look the same,(ecpt for the yellow ones:P) im just saying try and have a bit of variety, and such :P but maybe you did and its just me :P

anyways it is a very nice map

 

[SkyDragon]

thats nice that m8 , would be more professional looking ingame if you could run freely about insted of keep changing maps. ingame it might look better very nice map m8

 

[MentaL]

if it had caves it be fantastic

 

[Slanesh]

I just plan on having it as the case for this map alone (so there is one safe map). I'm unsure how to make safe zones, so it's the only resort I can possibly think of to keep the town safe.

 

[Toxick]

to make a map safe, in the Map info put this beside it SAFE

and it will be a safe zone

 

[DayWalker™]

Yeh but i think he wants certain parts of the map to be sz?

If not ive read his post wrong , soz.

/Stan

 

[Toxick]

if he wants certain parts of the map a SZ then, he will need to but a town teleport spot, all around it, town teleports spots have a safe zone of 8x8 so he will need to do alot.

 

[Slanesh]

Okies, thanks for the info

I just went and made whole map SAFE to save the trouble, as I have seen on some private servers people getting PK'd as soon as they leave the SZ, so it'd save a lot of hassle and griefing.

 

[Richens]

Nice detailed map.
Like people are saying its layout is slightly similar to Bichon (being square and all). But again, the detail is nice and i would like to have a walk about it in game to see further detail.

8/10 I wana see the rest of the map now :P

Shard and AngelOfDeath are taking a break for one day, hope they will cool off, if not continue in the HoF section.
