~ 'ALAGAESIA: Realm of the Dragons' Map Development Thread ~

[Eden]

Welcome to the Map Development Thread for Tri-soft's OTS, Alagaesia: Realm of the Dragons!

In this thread, you will be able to watch as the massive map is created from now until 7.7.12, which is the set date for the opening. Proper credits will be given at all times, for this thread will contain mapping work from multiple people working on the map, not just me.

To begin with, and this might be stupid to some, but I'm not showing direct mapping work yet. Below I'm going to be posting the current drawn map plan.

Now, the next picture is very important for I need to know some opinions here. Below is the distance plan in comparison to the drawn map. I want to know if you people think it's either too small, too big, or fine. I will also post an edited picture of the drawn map for the sake of comparing, which is how i determined distances via mapping and paint.
PS: Sorry, I know the image is huge but i need to show you exactly how big it is planned to be right now.

That's going to be big xD, good luck!

 

[Transeti]

looking good!!!

 

[Eden]

@Leftwing; That's what she said.
Hahahah, okay on topic. Yes, it's going to be pretty damn big, but we saw fit that it should be because this kind of OT would suck on a tiny map.

In order to complete such a huge map, it would require at least 4 mappers that work every day for at least 2 hours, and it would be done somewhere in February. Good luck hiring people :S

+1 what he said

 

[Eden]

Except it's to be finished by July, not Feb =P
I will be working it personally at least 2-3 hours a day though, starting December 7th. For now, I'll be just putting as much as possible, probably an hour or a little more. Pretty darn busy right now =x

[Machima]

Yeah he is, Machima
And I was telling him the same thing, Leftwing, when he was making it =P

lol'd when i saw map size. only 25% will be used of it for a start, so why create sooooo big?!

What do you mean only 25% will be used?

I've never even left a cave unused...

 

[Eden]

Anwyways, to ignore that silly reply, here's a little random thing. Took a little longer than it should have, but it was 4am in morning and i was pretty tired. Here it is anyways.

 

[kilteranet]

well, good luck with the proyect. but 99% of all custom projects does not come online, mainly because the map is not big enough - you got a high goal, good luck

nice mapping, but how do you get the latest sprites?!?!?!

 

[Eden]

Thanks, but this is a swear upon my own grave; I alone will not stop working on this server until it's finished, even if that means that I will have to learn scripting by myself from square one.

And just download the latest rme and the latest 9.31 server distro, use the items.otb and .xml from that distro and put it in the rme 9.20 folder. Done =P
