General Questions - I need a good theme for my zone Anonymous - Fri Mar 25, 2005 5:40 pm Post subject: I need a good theme for my zone
I have been busting my brain with making my first zone. I don't want to move on with constructing bots, tilesets, lvz, and maps etc. if i dont have a theme to work off of.
I want something cool.
I want something out of this world. Its my first zone. I want to start kind small, but I know how to make .lvz files. I need a staff as well so if anyone is willing to help with ship sets and bots I would appreciate it and make you apart of my zone staff.
I need a cool theme. I was thinking futurama lol. Mabye Mortal Kombat. I would like theme suggestions to be imaginative. Thanx

Well, if you're good in GFX, then you have a lot of options. Liquid Mercury - Fri Mar 25, 2005 7:30 pm Post subject:
Theres been this new craze with people turning ships into humans. Mainly CTF zones. I think you should bring back some classic flagging and old ships. I haven't seen any new decent flagging zones in a while.

Do you think that that will bring a good ammount of people? And what type of map would people like?

I'm thinking the classic maps an ships would bring people back. Afterall, the leading zones with pop are like that. People like the maps with bases obviously if they play in a flagging zone. Make sure if you're making a flagging zone, its decently fast. I've seen slow zones that flag and honestly, they suck.

LOL, k thanx. Then I will make a good old fashion flagging zone. I'm good at making bases. Should the map be big with alot of bases? I need a size to work with so I know what size the border should be. And what should the bot have?

The rest is up to you. I'll check out your zone some time and see how its going. Maybe i'll submit some bases after you're done a tileset. Unless you're not making one Anonymous - Fri Mar 25, 2005 7:51 pm Post subject:
I still need an idea for a bot though lol. What does a normal bot have? I think I'm just going to use a normal MERV bot for pub; then use plugins for sub arenas. I hope this zone is successful. I have the idea for the tileset. I'm about to work on it. Any idea of what the name for the zone should be?

Wow, I think you are setting yourself up for a major upset. Don't be surprised if your first zone isn't successful especially if you have no idea how to make an "old-fashioned flagging map" You really should work with the basics before you start worrying about the bots/lvzs get the lvls down first that is what will eat up a lot of your time.

So you want a bot just for the point of having a bot? Bots aren't there for looks, they're there for functionality. Figure out what functionality you want and you'll know what type of bot you want. Also use ASSS instead of subgame as you can do things bots can't (additional functionality).

Bak, no zone is complete without a bot-controlled dueling arena, bot-controlled vote-elim arena, and flag.dll in pub!
