mapping

[warped kindle]

oh... wait...

looks broken from the top

[sharp kernel]

Could make some cool non-euclidean environments with this

[wind marlin]

Lakes placement looks similar to how they look like in Lickskillet

could be it

[winged epoch]

Yeah what was Ekron on the map is closer to irl Lickskillet, and this new place that got added definitely looks WAY more like Ekron, so maybe what we know as Ekron will be changed to Lickskillet?

[winged epoch]

Maybe try adding the emptyroom definition on the other floors too and see if that helps?

[warped kindle]

did that and it solves the seethrough the floor but it looks wonky, see the weird shadows?

[winged epoch]

Huh yeah thats weird 🤔

[warped kindle]

yep, i dont know which way should i keep the map tho xD I wish there was a "cleaner" workaround

[dense drum]

Hey what program do i need for mapping

[warped kindle]

You can download the Project Zomboid Modding tools from steam. And I recommend these videos if you have no experience in mapping in PZ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKMrQsxyXTQ

[dense drum]

Thanks Marc

It reminds me of mapping for broodwar, hopefully its a quick pick up

[warped kindle]

It is easy to pick up ^^

[dense drum]

Do you model too marc?

[warped kindle]

Nah, I'm so bad at artistic fields hahah I'm just messing around and i try to do my best

[dense drum]

Hey thats kool, im glad you were around to help my little question

Ive got some neat ideas that i think will get picked up pretty quick but it might take a while to make alone

[warped kindle]

Good luck 😄

[jovial glen]

mehh

what i don't like about emptyoutside: these are definitely rooms. look at the end of your alley. there are faded walls

when i did that, those emptyoutside areas even went dark sometimes, because there was no light switch 😛

[long sage]

Make sure the internal name is set to emptyoutside

v

[warped kindle]

mm will try that

[warped kindle]

nah it does not work, the only way it worked is as moeki told me with the internal name "empty"

[long sage]

are you manually drawing this because my god do they look perfect

yeah, in photoshop

dude, they look insanely accurate

thanks man :)

just dreading getting to the acutal mapping

i need more mapping boyos

if you need any help let me know

ive made a few dwinky maps here and there

hell, id appreciate it

and so would my entire community

u down to DM?

yeah dm me, i have a lot of dm's tho so might not respond immediately.... im a bit of a lazy bastard right now

lol all good

we have a heat wave going on here in Leeds tbh

so im sat here suffering

ive heard

im a texan, 115 F outside

but i got AC

[sharp summit]

Yay, content that makes one feel right at home

[restive swan]

cool. as moeki said. emptyoutside isnt perfect. for the second floor use a randomly named room (void) and set internal walls,flooring and grime to none. fix whatever walls break with the individual wall tool

[restive swan]

there is no internal room definition for emptyoutside

[zealous timber]

emptyoutside is the internal name/room definition, the "name" can be anything and is only for inside the editor

[restive swan]

hmm mine is weird then because its opposite. when i draw a room named EmptyOutside it has no visible walls, the internal name can be anything but i use none/empty as my default.

[thick drum]

is this vanilla?

[zealous timber]

i guess all your seeing is to do with adding an invisible room and not to do with the room def itself as emptyoutside shouldn't even have capital letters in it and is only used to hide upper parts of buildings/roofs that are not over an internal room def when your underneath them

[restive swan]

hmm thats exactly what i used it for in this building. the central stair case was horrible ingame and the building was strange too look at when the center had no room def. working fine now but no room definition

[zealous timber]

internal names are the only ones used in game, names are just for the editor

[restive swan]

but this happens otherwise

with the balcony and ground floor void space

[zealous timber]

not sure whats going on there but that has nothing to do with emptyoutside as that is something that only takes effect in game

[restive swan]

beats me 🤷‍♂️ name = emptyoutside roomdef=room2 VS name = yes roomdef = emptyoutside (displaying as Nil)

[restive swan]

okay so i take this back. internal definition for emptyoutside definitely works better. and for me, having the name as the same helps by automatically hiding the walls and floor when generated. there is also no shadow which is much nicer

[long sage]

this location is 100% indie stones version of ekron which is exciting as hell!

[winged epoch]

yeah the south farm is what really sold it for me when i looked, its basically an exact recreation

[long sage]

there version will be amazing, they always add more sass to a location and more character im hoping we will see some cool little brands of stores or something

maybe even a little dig at the fact they call themselves a city with a grand population of 140 😂

[winged epoch]

So youre gonna make NEW New Ekron after they make this right?

[long sage]

hell to the no, im done with map modding

i burnt out for the final time 😂

[winged epoch]

Yeah i get that youve done a LOT so i feel like thats only natural eventually

[long sage]

I'll probs make a few tiles here and there when im bored but i must admit its refreshing to be gaming again and not thinking so much about weird random ideas @winged epoch

[winged epoch]

4 more people and their area code will be their population

[long sage]

i trhink it was 140 back in 1990's i totally forgot been a while

[slow wigeon]

wasnt there already a town ingame that everyone referred to as ekron?

[tiny atlas]

Yes

[warped kindle]

Mmm i might try this, the thing about my building is that whenever i get to top floor, the 0 floor (ground floor) looks weird. I'll try it this afternoon

[haughty kite]

why do they not add a pride flag tile lool

[pallid iron]

grime technician 😅

[warped kindle]

btw how did you created those small floors for the balconies? i might need it :3

[warped kindle]

it looks amazing

[pallid iron]

thnks haha

still have a few more buildings in line for erosion application 😭

i already dread the day i'll hit those 7 storey buildings 😂

[warped kindle]

Uhh its gonna be fun😂

[spring widget]

me eternally

[restive swan]

can confirm this is Grimey!

[restive swan]

its a custom version of the Industry floor trim

[warped kindle]

looks neat!

[fluid blade]

I made progress on making my own tiles, which I started with posters. but when I attempt to place posters on the walls, either ingame or in the editor. they vanish when going on the walls? does anyone know whats wrong?

oh

smh

though how do I fix the ingame issue where it wont place in the proper direction. Such as this being the default orientation when trying to play in the south direction

i did though

I have a tile facing south and east

oh I think i fixed it

I just copied the tile data from an existing ingame painting and just applied that to my posters. but for some reason I had to invert the directions of my posters

swapping the south and east

ya but its weird that the vanilla tiledef didnt work lol, i had to edit it

yeah lol, its not the weirdest thing I've seen PZ do

ive had the headache of dealing with the scuffed book models

[wise grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-scott-thats-what-she-said-he-said-gif-25165146

@restive swan i set you up.... 😉

[restive swan]

i cant believe i didnt get it in....

[fierce valley]

Hey all, I'm having an issue with some custom tiles I've made. I made these windows and although they smash correctly and removing the glass works too the issue I have is that when I face away from them they look like this:

You cannot see through them at all and when I do face them they look like this:

So I can see through them but they become entirely transparent. Does anyone know what definition I've done wrong as I've copied the commercial vanilla ones and this is still happening :/

[fluid blade]

someone should recreate The Office in pz lol

[restive swan]

hmm not sure what could be wrong. testing now to see how vanilla behaves. how do you place them in building ed?

[restive swan]

Dylan did it 🙂

[fluid blade]

lol

bruh

[restive swan]

@fierce valley mine do this

but so do vanilla

my definition for comparison

[wise grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-shrug-steve-carrell-michael-scott-gif-3430235

[slender mist]

anyone know why worlded crashes when tryna generate lots?

[restive swan]

havent seen that before. can you do cells individually?

[slender mist]

ya

think its just a memory issue

its one cell in particular that seems to be causing issues

[restive swan]

sounds like it then

but it can generate individually?

[slender mist]

ya

[restive swan]

whats your system memory?

[dawn burrow]

Anyone know where I can find the rules & blends for this map palette?

[restive swan]

i think thats Dirkies. not sure if its public

[dawn burrow]

Found it on pztiles.com

[tiny atlas]

I also have it on my map 🤣

Everybody using my rules 😅

[dawn burrow]

Was there blends to along with your rules?

[tiny atlas]

Nope

Nothing to blend

[restive swan]

should have locked it behind patreon support 😉

[dawn burrow]

I have the rules i found buried here, but I keep getting this error.

[tiny atlas]

Well im not sure whats up with your blend files

[tiny atlas]

I actually lost one of my three patreons due to lack of content

[restive swan]

noo its not the OG was it?

[tiny atlas]

It was

I thought about streaming about half a year ago but with the new baby i really dont have the time

[spring widget]

Maybe they wanted more cat photos from you 🤔

[tiny atlas]

I cant even finish my map 😅

[spring widget]

Don't worry, in drips and drabs you'll get there

We'll have a race of 2 tortoises

[tiny atlas]

I need to still zone about 140 cells

Aand then do the map for the entire thing

A good tip would definetly do it as you go

And not at the end

[restive swan]

if blends thinks thats a tile then it probably hasnt been defined as an Alias

[tiny atlas]

Thats dope though

[fluid blade]

lol, also sorry if I came out a bit rude last time we talked. I was just very frustrated and tired lol since it may have been like 1AM or something

I did get the stuff to work though thanks to your videos and also the videos by Azakaela Redfire. I just need to move the textures a bit so they dont conflict with larger tiles suck as ovens and ect

[spring widget]

https://tenor.com/view/borat-borat-very-nice-verynice-thumbs-up-gif-25080066

[restive swan]

doing it as you go has its downsides aswell. i had to turn off adjacent cells in worlded because it would crash quite often loading all the buildings, map data and zones for 9 cells. especially in town center

[tiny atlas]

No worries 😘 👌

[tiny atlas]

To live is to suffer

[restive swan]

yo! i got my tile pack posted (finally) so if people want to use the random stuff i make its all here! i might even update it from time to time https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2837923608&searchtext=

[tiny atlas]

Nice, you flipped the vines. Why disnt I thinkof that

[silent sierra]

Finally made some proper American styled street lights

[restive swan]

xD i was inspired by one of your rooftop patios. ithink you used rail tracks and vines on top, or grass

[silent sierra]

I'll share it with you after I'm done with some touch ups

I made it so it can be as big as you want

[tiny atlas]

You should make a sunken rail so its in the street and not on top

[spring widget]

Good on ya mate. Looks like that hard Yakka paid off

[silent sierra]

You mean like that?

[tiny atlas]

Not like exactly

More like those

[spring widget]

Hmm

[silent sierra]

Dunno how to make it like that lol

[spring widget]

That vanilla porch raised tile they use could work in a kitbash? (?)

Orr trim a vanilla rail down and put it slightly lower on a tile?

[silent sierra]

need to figure it out somehow

[restive swan]

put curbs on eiether side of it. in PS not in tilezed

[silent sierra]

Yeah, I might end up doing some photoshopped ones

although this area is a bit too complex

[mortal frost]

i think that looks cool

[silent sierra]

Yeah, probably leave it like that for now

Closest I could achieve is this

[dawn burrow]

Could I bother for a link to your rules? The one I have does not match up to the map palette rgb colors.

[tiny atlas]

@silent sierra This is just in photoshop. Its just a suggestion though. It looks good as is

[silent sierra]

Yeah, that looks nice

But then I would need it for every diagonals

[spring widget]

Omg is dirkiedirk a mixup of your real name diederik

It's an anagram

https://tenor.com/view/brain-explosion-gif-18355735

[restive swan]

i mocked up one from street blends

[dawn burrow]

Appreciate that. I swear the default blends file defines dirtgrass but for some reason your rules file doesnt. I defined it myself in your rules since the tiles werent being used by any others rules.

[silent sierra]

And now do it for every single variation of turns

I might do something custom in the future

Might also make tram tracks turns simpler

[tiny atlas]

Nah, so basically when I was tiny (like 2-3 years old) my parents used to call me Dirk instead of Diederik as my full name was quite a mouthfull for such a little brat.
Through the years I never really had a proper username and usually just used Diederik (heck, even my world of warcraft character was named Diederik)
Now my buddies called me Dirkie dirk a handfull of times but it wasn't a reall nickname or anything but I liked the sound of it
So when I became a dad abit over 2 years ago I put daddy in front of it and "daddy Dirkie Dirk" was born,

[spring widget]

Awww

Diederik lore reveal

[tiny atlas]

yes or you could do less angles.
Probably best to keep it as is for now

[warped kindle]

Yo there are some amazing tiles i could use :3 Might use it for my map ♥️ (Do i download the mod itself and then take the .PNGs and put em in the tiles 2x folder?, besides needing the mod ingame?)

[sharp iris]

dope

[fluid blade]

lol hi

[restive swan]

yep you got it! in your mod.info if you put require=ModID you can have it automatically turn on required mods

[warped kindle]

cool, thanks man 😄

[winged epoch]

LETS GOOOOOOO!

definitely think i need to redo my firestation now with these tiles available

[silent sierra]

Feel free to use it if anyone wants it

with this you can make bigger street lights

[restive swan]

You going to put it into a pack @silent sierra ?

[silent sierra]

Probably not for now

As I'm constantly adding new stuff ect.

[slender mist]

getting back to working on my map

https://gyazo.com/1512c68b635e2209e349afece8f76e5a it's pretty big idk

[silent sierra]

@restive swan just curious, does double TV from your pack work as TV?

I assume not, as it would require some custom sprites?

and not exactly sure if it's even possible

[restive swan]

It's got the property for tv signal but not sure it has a visual function

Honestly never tested it

[marble cloak]

@spring widget TY. Champagne time ayeee

[plain dust]

The only connection between double-tiled Iso objects is the spritegrid coords. Something like a double tiled TV will place properly, but the game will likely treat each side as a separate TV allowing different channels at same time.

[slender mist]

https://gyazo.com/a792eec75672b1b2715d7a978917c3eb anyone have any idea how I could make it look like these poles are connected?

[vale canopy]

if someone else has made a map, can i add spawnpoints to that map myself with a spawnpoints file for a server, or perhaps create a mod that just adds the spawnpoints (not sure if possible), or would i have to make a copy of the map mod and add them that way?

the map has no spawn points and i wish to use it as the spawn for my server.

[restive swan]

Yeah you can do it. Look at the base game files, media/maps/Westpoint. See the two files in there? Those are the two you would need to make a spawn point mod

Alternatively download one of pillows spawn mods. Have a Sus of the mod files

[long sage]

marshes

[sharp iris]

I think you should make an edit to the hay files and make your own vegetation for the marshes, yellow isn't a wet enough color

you need like dark green

maybe make them cat tails

[long sage]

A dam broke and flooded the area!

[long sage]

I don’t disagree

it’s kind of a time concern thing though

best be expeditious

not to mention I'm also gonna be adding a dope af cave system to the mountains

[fathom trail]

cave base?

UNGA BUNGA INTENSIFIES

[warped kindle]

I'm having some issues with my custom tiles pack guys. Idk why they dont work in game. To work with them on the editor i put my custom tiles PNGs on the tiles-2x folder, then i have a separate folder, lets say, "Custom tiles" where i throw in the same png's to create the pack file, and also i created a new tiles definition for it. From here, they work on the editor, but when i create the mod i have a folder called "Zomboid"-mods-myMod-media-texture packs where i throw my .pack file (and my tile definitions as well, i dont know if they should be here) but then i can't start the game without any problem but my tiles don't appear

[tiny atlas]

.tiles file (the tile definitions goes in to MODNAME\media
.pack file goes into MODNAME\media\texturepacks
in MODNAME there should a mod.info file (its just a text file)
In that textfile there should be the regular stuff but also in include a:
pack=NAMEOF THE .PACK FILE ( in my case its "pack=diederiks_tile_palooza")
tiledef= NAMEOFTHE.TILES FILE with a number between 100 and 8000 (in my case its "tiledef=diederikv_tile_def 7001")

DONT USE 7001, that will create an issue with my tiles mod, use something else for a number

[warped kindle]

got it! Thanks a lot 😄

[sharp iris]

Two levels are vegetated and floored, 3 levels to go X_X

[wise grotto]

its looking great Aza! 😄

[warped kindle]

This is looking amazing

[wise grotto]

So how does that work? Is that inside a building?

[pallid iron]

I wouldnt be suprised to eventually find an old aztec /mayan towering temple in there one day 😂

[spring widget]

This shit mega cool. Maybe I should make some in my map too after all

Imagine when they add animals little mountain sheep living in these caves

[wise grotto]

would be perfect for Peaches

[warped kindle]

Guys one question, do stairs work as intended when placed with tiled instead of inside a building?

Or should i make a building without walls and place it there?

[wise grotto]

What are you trying to do?

[spring widget]

Make some stairs sounds like lol

Outside ones I mean

I.e. freestanding

[wise grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/why-asking-confused-gif-4593721

ah i see

[spring widget]

Like the ones you don't understand

[warped kindle]

just make some outside stairs

like my village has 1 level so it'll have 2 places with stairs

[livid plinth]

How long have you worked on the map? Can't wait to try it

[sharp iris]

feels like it's been forever lol

[spring widget]

Yeah

Doing worse than me lol

[restive swan]

@warped kindle LMK you tile definition name and the number you choose and i will add it to the list so no one else picks it

[warped kindle]

7575 😄

[restive swan]

got a name for the definitions?

[night zephyr]

hello, I'm trying to get into making custom sprites and I'm just wondering if there are any guides in making them? The only guide I found on youtube was made 8 years ago and its in a different language

[restive swan]

guides, tuts? nope! xD but if you download TK's photoshop template from the pins and load some vanilla tilesets into it you will see how they line up, are spaced out and cut

other then that its just pixel art and trying to replicate the base game art style

[night zephyr]

oh alright I see thx

[warped kindle]

jsut that "adm_custom_tiles_definition" 😛

[restive swan]

sweet. been added

discord names change so i dont want to leave it at just that

[silent sierra]

Updated my street lights, for even more variation + pedestrian lights (borrowed it from tk tiles)

[silent sierra]

So now that I finished traffic lights, I finally made tram tracks

Gonna take a while to make all turns though, probably make them simpler

[spring widget]

Mm nice

[restive swan]

they look good my dude

[warped kindle]

just if anyone was wondering, it didnt work on my end, i just did a building extend the part of the street i wanted and placed those stairs there. If i placed them on tiled (Furniture Layer 1, because if i did not i could not paint them so close to the building) the character just passed through them.

[spring widget]

i see thanks for the update

[restive swan]

question. when making overlay files is there any naming convention? or will the game just load each file in the folder?

[tiny atlas]

Nice

[tiny atlas]

No convention. I used to have overlays in the same png as the cobtainer and later moved them to a seperate file.
It only needs the overlay file with the info

[spring widget]

How do I make a civil war fort without making it gigantique

Maybe the trick is to just add another cell to my map and make it bigger than gigantic

there's a good one in the revenant

custom walls, trims, grime, floors..... havent even started on the wall damage and furnishings.... the Adams family mansion is getting some primo treatment

unseen are some cool overlays that i want to spawn randomly on walls 😈

[jovial glen]

unseen?

[restive swan]

the overlays will only show up ingame

but its like lifted floor boards and holes

[jovial glen]

ahh. did not know that

[restive swan]

dude i think thats how you are meant to do the street cracks

overlayMap["blends_street_01_48"] = {{ name = "other", chance = 38, usage = "", tiles = {"floors_overlay_street_01_16", "floors_overlay_street_01_17", "floors_overlay_street_01_18", "floors_overlay_street_01_19", "floors_overlay_street_01_20", "floors_overlay_street_01_21", "floors_overlay_street_01_22", "floors_overlay_street_01_23", "floors_overlay_street_01_24", "floors_overlay_street_01_25", "floors_overlay_street_01_26", "floors_overlay_street_01_27", "floors_overlay_street_01_28", "floors_overlay_street_01_29", "floors_overlay_street_01_30", "floors_overlay_street_01_31", "floors_overlay_street_01_48", "floors_overlay_street_01_49", "floors_overlay_street_01_50", "floors_overlay_street_01_51", "floors_overlay_street_01_52", "floors_overlay_street_01_53", "floors_overlay_street_01_54", "floors_overlay_street_01_55", "floors_overlay_street_01_56", "floors_overlay_street_01_57", "floors_overlay_street_01_58", "floors_overlay_street_01_59", "floors_overlay_street_01_60", "floors_overlay_street_01_61", "floors_overlay_street_01_62", "floors_overlay_street_01_63"} }}

oh man thats all the cracks that can appear on the tile blends_street_01_48

[jovial glen]

hmm

[restive swan]

and its a 1 in 38 chance

[jovial glen]

just on this one single tile?

[restive swan]

thats world gen though not errosion

[jovial glen]

where did you find this?

[restive swan]

the file is much larger and details each of the street tiles

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua\server\Items\FloorStreetOverlay.LUA

[jovial glen]

i got 8 custom streets and currently its neither with cracks, nor counts as street when driving 🙂

damn.. i searched hours. WHY is it in the servers folder? 😛

[restive swan]

i would put road underneath. your custom tile on flooroverlay. cracks should show overtop kinda like how wall cracks show over graffiti

[jovial glen]

they would. yes

but i made the street brushes to save a layer, to avoid edged shadows everywhere and to work faster

did you ever see a manually tiled street in the dark ingame? 🙂 that's terrible 🙂

and it is a huge performance hit

but thansk so much for showing this lua 🙂

where do i put this custom lua?

@restive swan

[spring widget]

only easy building ive ever made in this game lol

[restive swan]

ModName/Media/LUA/Server/Items

[restive swan]

it seems bland at first but its looks exactly like it should xD

could even use Dirkies raised flooring to get the basement windows

[jovial glen]

does not show anything ingame yet

why is this in a server folder?

[restive swan]

server is still used in solo

[jovial glen]

ok

[restive swan]

its more like client is used when connecting to a server afaik

[jovial glen]

i added my tiles in the script and placed it in modname/ media/lua/server, but there spawns nothing on startup

:/

[restive swan]

renamed it to be unique?

[jovial glen]

no 🙂

[restive swan]

could be it

[jovial glen]

it isnt 🙂

[spring widget]

only thing about that is its not possible to have a centred set of stairs there and it makes the floor ultra-deep

[jovial glen]

use 3 tiles of the stair set

there is the large on missing in the middle

[spring widget]

do you mind elaborating

[jovial glen]

i know now what you meant. i am elaborating currently ^^

my solution

needs a custom tile

those walls are roof_walls

[spring widget]

mmmm i see

what did you use for the stairpiece there or did you make that just now?

[jovial glen]

you just need a custom set, where you move all roof walls on the other side of the tiles 🙂 a whole set done

the one stair wall already there is from the vanilla tileset

search for roof

[spring widget]

are you sure this isnt a DDD asset ?

[jovial glen]

yes. because i just worked with the vanilla set 🙂

walls_exterior_roofs_04

here. did it for you

[spring widget]

aw. thank you Moeki

[jovial glen]

that's the new mirrored version to make stair railings

@spring widget keep the movement in mind 🙂

a single fake stair which looks like this wouldnt work ingame

[tiny atlas]

Also keep in mind that those custom tiles are movement blocking, making it so you can't jump out of the windows.

[spring widget]

good i hope they get trapped in and eaten alive

[tiny atlas]

😂 👌

[jovial glen]

i used yours and i could jump out

they blocked movement but.. as soon as i placed a window next to it, the movement block got disabled

[spring widget]

cannot for the life of me find those stairs but i did find some by pert

[tiny atlas]

REALLY?

[jovial glen]

yes

[spring widget]

at least temporarily they will do

[tiny atlas]

ah right, thats what windows do, I forgot about that feature

nice. that creates so many more options. I LIMITED MYSELF FOR NO REASON

[jovial glen]

it looks really cool, when you jump out a window and there are solid tiles

the jump is longer and you overpass all raised tiles

[spring widget]

i do like to jump through a window and climb over a table

[jovial glen]

but then you just turn and walk on the floor tile

meh. about 300m from my house, deep purple is playing live. i can hear it very well, but i can't see it tonight 🙂

[spring widget]

how do i decorate the inside of a building over 150 years old... this is a new challenge

[wise grotto]

Old school oven

The metal one

Wood Shelves but not the full height bookshelves

Some carpets

Quite empty

Wood table

And a 32” plasma state of the art tv 😎

[spring widget]

it HAS to be heinz 4k

[wise grotto]

Colonel Custer was a raging apple fan boy

He had an Apple Watch on while he made his final stand

He said

“Siri play Decpasito one last time”

Which is why it’s called

Custers Last stand

[jovial glen]

first steps are good 😉

[spring widget]

i am exctied to have a basic building for once i dont have to make 1,001 assets for

[wise grotto]

What about the really rustic floorboards?

[spring widget]

i googled the interior and it actually looks like that

it has surprisingly nice floor

[wise grotto]

Fair dooos

[spring widget]

yeah im gonna make a fort

lean into the historical angle bit more. my professors would be proud of me

only thing with a fort is i gotta make it so theres nothing in it so it wont be a perfect starter base lmao

although there arent many zombies out in the wilderness anyway so walls dont matter that much

[jovial glen]

i am tiling a monorail 😀 will take a while

[vestal scarab]

Howdy-!
Ok so I wanted to ask this bc I’m working on something that I want to include it in, but
Does anyone know if the “Underground” tiles (the big pillars of dirt and stone, I believe added by TK’s tiles) can be made to be destroyable from any direction? Or is it solely stuck to being destroyable from the upper left?

[wise grotto]

I'm not sure, I found them quite glitchy when I've used them

But that could be my own doing 😂

[vestal scarab]

They seem pretty stable for me - the only thing that isn't is the aforementioned destroying
Hold on, let me try to get a recording of what I mean

[jovial glen]

those are cool. did not know those

my idea to this is: are all tiles needed for this effect on the same tileset or is it possible to use 2? one with the wall and one set with the dirt

[vestal scarab]

Its all a single tile

[jovial glen]

if the dirt is on an extra sheet, you could make a custom copy of this sheet and rename it with f_ in front

a single tile. do you have a pic how this looks in the editor?

[jovial glen]

ok. so the wall is on another tileset

if you make a copy of underground and rename it to f_underground_01, these walls are undestroyable

no sledging anymore

but i see... your question is "from any direction" 🙂

quite the opposite

did you try to edit the properties?

currently, those seem to count only as wallW(est)

[wise grotto]

making a bunker ? 😄

[jovial glen]

or something like that

[wise grotto]

@jovial glen hope you are having a good week btw!

[vestal scarab]

Where do I go to edit those-?
I'm new to all this, so-

[vestal scarab]

I am lol

[jovial glen]

i certainly have 🙂 thamks you and hope the same for your week

[jovial glen]

puh.. there are dirkiedirks tutorials linkd/pinned above, about custom tilesets and properties

i can't find a solution for this yet in the properties

@vestal scarab

try to set this custom tileset from TK to scrapable

this could work to remove it from every side

save your own custom properties.file in C:\Users\username\Zomboid\mods\modname\media

it's a name_definitions.tiles file

you need mod.infos etc, too. how to do this is in the guide in the forums

[long sage]

i'm making a desert/swamp map and i made custom water tiles that can be slowly moved across and cannot be drank from

so people are forced to go to secret locations to ge twater

[jovial glen]

do those tiles move ingame?

[long sage]

they do yeah

[jovial glen]

nice

how did you get the water moving? thought its a special water texture

[long sage]

oh i thought you were asking if people can move across thme

no they do not animate

[vestal scarab]

Well this is
Odd
I can't find where the tiles are anywhere

Its not under any of the .tiles

[vestal scarab]

Ah, I had meant in the tile properties thing
I found it, though, so-

[silent sierra]

That turn took a bit too much work

but at least it's done lol

[jovial glen]

wow..poor passengers. that's a sudden curve 🙂

[silent sierra]

Wish I could do better lol

[wise grotto]

https://youtu.be/Z48N4s6YZ28?t=19

[jovial glen]

i know, i am annoying 😛

[jovial glen]

thanks for the laugh😂

[silent sierra]

It has to be like I did it for now

turn is hidden underneath the tram

[jovial glen]

its ok 🙂 those sunken rails are great

[silent sierra]

Thanks

now I need to do another angle

[vestal scarab]

Do TK's invisible walls show up in game or do they only appear in the editors?

[wise grotto]

They have shadows

It’s better to use the debug food or the other one next to it

They block players from moving

Used it on my bunkers too

Debug flooor*

Yes they show up in game (they work) but you can’t see them

But the walls block eyelines. So you get a black shadow

[vestal scarab]

Ah, yeah, I realized invis walls would be needed, but I've been using TK's the entire time, only now questioning if they actually are visible or not lol

Ahh
Yeah so I prob need to use base game ones for it, then, for people to actually see the slopes and whatnot?

[wise grotto]

What are you trying to do?

[vestal scarab]

Just block the sloped areas so players can't walk through it

[wise grotto]

I’m not on my pc but what are the options in the tk invisible tiles

[vestal scarab]

Options as in-?
Like what tiles there are for it, or-?

[sweet pawn]

anyone know what I'm doing wrong? the left is what shows up when I put my isolatedStorage.png file into WorldEd :(

using 90, 100, 35 for RGB values

[wise grotto]

Could you send a screenshot of the tiles next to the debug wall in the tiles for tk invisible

[wise grotto]

Dirkie made a video on this in the pinned posts 🙂

[sweet pawn]

thank you!

[vestal scarab]

As in this-?

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding lol

[wise grotto]

Debug solid trans

That’s the one

So place that as a furniture or something under the bunker slopes

It stops people from walking through the bunker slope, which spoils the illusion

Also place it on the outside edge of the roof so people don’t fall into the bunker slope from above

[vestal scarab]

Yeah lol
I had done this, without taking a min to think about how they'd work lol

[wise grotto]

I’d say delete the wall

Debug wall

[vestal scarab]

Planning on it, yea

[wise grotto]

Nioce

[vestal scarab]

Just gonna use it as a guide for the moment

[wise grotto]

Cool

You can always hide and unhide layers at the top right

Visibility and opacity

[vestal scarab]

Where should I put the tiles on the edges-?

[wise grotto]

Above the tallest slope

Think you have it right

But not on the roof*. Only the outside

[vestal scarab]

Alright cool

Ty

[wise grotto]

See it like an invisible blocker

[sweet pawn]

@wise grotto i'm following dirkie's tutorial but I keep having the same problem with the red :/ any tips?

[wise grotto]

This video? https://youtu.be/3wkOkyC58Uw

[sweet pawn]

ohhh no I was watching his tutorial but I'll give that one a go, thanks

[jovial glen]

when i see this.. what about players who build a stair next to it and just walk above the invisible wall? they would be jailed on the inside, if they don't have mats for another stair up

[wise grotto]

Like they way the character jumps over the rocks 🤘

[wise grotto]

Yeh they would be, but they can go in debug mode to fix it

[vestal scarab]

Djdbdjdnd yeah I had thought about that a bit but I think I’m going to want to keep roof access to being inside only—

[silent sierra]

Need to figure out how to make intersecting rails look good

[fierce valley]

Guys have they removed one of the sinks? I'm noticing a lot of sinks missing in my map, seems very odd :/

[restive swan]

You figure it out?

Iirc Gotta open Tilezed go to tiles and set the tile folder location. Relaunch both applications after

[sweet pawn]

yeah I got it, thanks!

i have a new appreciation for maps in this game lol

[sweet pawn]

shot in the dark but does anyone know how I can prevent my brush from having multiple tones?

[vestal scarab]

You need to use the pencil tool, pretty sure

[sweet pawn]

thank you!!

[primal summit]

does anyone have the blackwood or raven creek regions? I seem to get 5 to 10 frame drops when in those areas zoomed all the way out

[restive swan]

Not sure what you expect? Zoom has cap settings because it requires exponentially more cpu. Raven Creech is especially demanding because of the multi story buildings. Blackwood and grapeseed get similar fps drop because they are just complex, I think it's normal what your experiencing

[primal summit]

ok

ty

[long sage]

random half awake thoughts... has anyone ever wondered how cool it would be if the GTA5 map was put into Zomboid? too bad terrain isn't a thing yet.

[dawn burrow]

What is this tile called or what tileset is it in?

[restive swan]

its on the industry tilesheet

[dawn burrow]

Thanks, figured it out.

Also, how do you change the z-level when placing tiles in TileZ? IE, placing a microwave on a counter.

[restive swan]

you just put it on a higher layer. furniture2 probably

the only z level you can change is floor lvl

[brisk gorge]

yeah, go into the Brush Settings tab and uncheck the hue variations

also moving from brush to pencil mode is great for doing map work

[winged epoch]

I've had a similar idea to this, making a Rust inspired map and remaking all the different monuments that spawn on the maps in that game. It could either be a standalone map thats just a little rust island or I was thinking I might make a town to go into the vanilla map that is called Rusty Town, KY or something and have it be a rundown town with the buildings from rust

Ooh Rustbucket, KY would be a good name for the town too

[warped kindle]

Guys one question can i change my PNG of the terrains for each cell without affecting the buildings and everything i placed? In case i need to modify some part of the river/dirt/etc

[spring widget]

If I understand right, changing the PNG and rewriting the BMP to TMx will undo all the custom work you've done in TileZed at least. Afaik anything you can do in the PNG stage you can do and more in tilezed

What is it specifically you're trying to modify

[warped kindle]

just the width of the river

i think it's easily fixable on tilezed tho

[restive swan]

you can re-do Bmp to TMX but instead of selecting replace maps, select update maps. however you want to to a TMX to BMP before making any changes to the PNG in photoshop

and this will save all your work in Tilezed

[warped kindle]

does this only update the terrain?

[restive swan]

yep it only updates the 0_floor layer

[warped kindle]

thanks man 😄

[spring widget]

yeah easypeasy mate just use the Water brush and have a go with it

[warped kindle]

btw i got another silly question, anybody knows where this church altar block is?

[spring widget]

that raised bit? looks like the ones i used for my Manassas house I got from trailer tilesheet

[warped kindle]

ty! 😄

[restive swan]

also got some color variants in industry set

[warped kindle]

mmm but the ones in trailer don't stack up imma try the industry

[warped kindle]

im not sure which ones you mean i can't find any in the industry

[warped kindle]

ohh i see, thanks man

[restive swan]

what an effort

[spring widget]

lmao

theres actually good content on there if you sort by top of all every few days

[restive swan]

i bet

but i would loose a significant portion of my spare time if i new about it

[spring widget]

i keep wanting to get a project zomboid art commissioned but i dont have anything i really want to commission 😭

pert buddy do you want to test my map for me

[restive swan]

ill do it monday night but i want to smash out some map stuff over the weekend

i dont have the energy to map after work but i can play

[spring widget]

nw

idk where i am with it anymore either. im tired of making custom assets and im still lost on what i want lol

this mapping stuff is really hard work

[restive swan]

haha i been smashing custom assets for this current house. loving it

so you think its ready? or you just want to do a round of bug fixes?

[spring widget]

it's not ready. and i think its way off being ready. but im wondering if i get a new perspective of it from in-game that i will need or want to change things about it, which is better to do now than once ive 'finalised', detailed and perfected everything

Adding my cannons as an isometric item in the Laundry section

[restive swan]

what do you mean laundry?

[restive swan]

:/ you know you can make new sections right....

[spring widget]

naw i wanna put it in laundry

[restive swan]

okay xD

[tiny atlas]

Thats very cool. Please stop doing it, I dont want to update my entire map

[spring widget]

pert mate but sorry you're setting a bad example. now we're all going to have to work harder

[restive swan]

im trying to slow you down so i can beat you to release

[restive swan]

go on! get to it

[spring widget]

this is like the tortoise vs the hare but they're both tortoises and you cant tell if they're still alive or not

[spring widget]

i am so excited when you make a new asset because it means i can eventually use it without doing any work

also, those trims are banging
