The Project 1.0
 

Hello Everyone,
Most of you guys might not know who I am.
Well my name is Jonathan and I am iZone Lat Admin.
I've been away from Zone Forums and i'm sorry for that.

The Reason why i'm here posting this thread today is because i would like to know what type of map update you guys would like to see around zone.
Over all updates that i can make happen.

Example
-Events
-Bases
-FightClub
-Gmap

Also i'm hiring a few lats so if you wish to apply, click the link below.
(http://zone-play.com/forum/forums/hi...at-application)

Other then that, i will be checking this thread every time i can.

Here's some ideas have more planets readd all the bases and make more maps like irica and those 2-d side scrolling maps for combat add mechs, tech, able to fight with a ship in interplanetary space

Change Zone back.

make the map like 2013 pls that was way less confusing also why tf is fishing closed

John is a hard-worker. He has made our entire new map in ONLY 5 days!

Hey john nice to see you again,
How about different types of Bases rather than repetitive types such as a giant futuristic tower with energy coursing through the walls, and what if one of the bases was a crashed alien ship that players now use as a base on the inside with alien defences.

Personally think mainmap should be small square like one with central start/w spar mission & showdown!near start..and cut out the big long roads/open spaces where your player ends up in a blank bluetiled level.

With showdown then near the start it can become more of a solo big event
-get highers to make a scoreboard showing who has won the most games(make big thing not just a box in waiting room saying it)
-they more types of maps could be used (for starters you have like iricia etc tilesets to give different theme to each game-more mapstyles/diff planet like stuff could always come in future)


Bases
-all i have to say is stay away from era style bases-ok there alright but its sameoldsameold with the doors etc (so maybe a more opened up base?)


Although if a tileset really is a priority thing all this might need to be changed again to set into the tileset.

-Bring back the terrain on the boring old blue tiles, there used to be grass on them along with water, what happened to the beach? Its so boring, make a quest a proper quest.

-Make a better lightsaber gani to unsheath and sheath and make a new lightsaber that you can throw.

-Jetshoes
-New jobs
-New types of bases (Alien ship with alien defenses, Futuristic tower with energy coursing through it that can shock you)
-Better spar awards

Holy **** please for the love of god remove spar. Please, its cancer killing izone from advancing in guns and derailing combat from more tactical based to whoever has the best strats wins. Seriously remove current spar and then redesign spar to fit new guns.

This idea I rate 10/10

If I were lat I would wait for a new tileset

That's not a good thing.

was thinking the same thing lol

here's an idea: don't work on a new map. there's no way to make it any better than the rest if you have nothing else to add to it. using the same tileset with no sense of direction or theme isn't going to get you anywhere.

I find the tileset really ugly, the only changes to the map I'd like to see is the removal of the odd looking trees and grass on the roads cus they seem out of place

what i found confusing when playing zone, is that the missions dude (delivery) doesnt really specify where to go, and even if i press M, theres no way to find some info point

functionability of the map and the correspondence with quests would be nice if that worked :S

This. Seriously tho delivery NEEDS to be fixed, so either change the map back to the map that works, or update delivery.

Sounds like a nice idea.

I'm not sure why it's closed?

Showdown- I'm planning something for it, before i start it i want to just expand on ideas.

Bases- I agree with the stay away from iEra, I'm thinking of a new type of basing style for zone so it can be it's own unique game.


Beach- I'm not sure what happen to it, I had resign when the beach was removed then came back 3 weeks Later.

New type of bases- Alien ship with alien defenses sounds cool, i want to try something like that.

-Spar awards- I'm trying to get that added into the game.



I'm already doing something like this.
i agree with the fact the fight club needs to be totally fixed.




Doesn't really matter about the tileset, it mostly depends on how you use it.
I might of complained a few times but you can still do so much with the tileset.



@Elk
@adventure923

I will get that fixed as soon as i can.

Not much new to say, but here it is anyway.

I think simple and easy to navigate should be the top priority for the gmap. The more compact, the better, generally speaking.

Best of luck to you and the rest of iZone staff, I can't wait to see what happens and I have high hopes for iZone.

Nice to see staff involving us in what's happening/what they are wanting aswell :) I'd actually play abit again(barely play nowadays as ol staff/work etc) Showdown was one of reasons i kept playing zone for awhile, I got most of fatal's hours just by dominating it but then it became less popular-as was not base anymore and you got like 2zc for a win or something then it got thrown like a mile away from start and deserted, SO can't wait to see what happens with it!

I'm a big fan of basing, spar and pking.
I'm going to make sure it's worth going to showdown also :D

PLEASE PLEASE get someone to finish that tileset that Shane was making. its the first step to making zone look less trash

Add hologram trees.

that wouldnt help, shane was remaking it with digital art, not pixel art. though it would be a lovely reskin, it would still off put every other graphic already on the server - including future ones

Oo interesting could someone post so we can atleast see it.. or is it one tashkin put up while ago?

Yes please someone do this

Also fix the hologram statues and such, its ridiculous

I 1000000000% disagree. Give me a tileset with one single green square and I'll try making something appealing that will attract many players, which also compliments the gameplay. Call me crazy for my exaggeration, but it's the truth.

not sure if serious, or sarcasm level = over 9000

The analogy is pretty ridiculous but he's right, the tileset matters a lot.

Can I be both?

When i say,"Doesn't really matter about the tileset, it mostly depends on how you use it."
I really mean that iZone tileset isn't all that bad, when it comes to Skyword wise, it's just how the server was set up that makes it look totally bad.
It does have a lot of water and the tileset is mostly outdoor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anways!

I'm starting to work on the bases, and planets.
Any suggestions before I start?

Alien traps, alien creatures such as 18 legged spiders or alien vultures that attack. Alien pits, fall in and your fighting for your life. Alien habitants, Air pressure, slows you down unless you wear a certain hat. Alien nests we can pick up and throw.

make Aquarius a planet.

John I got a question well I'm a 2012 player just came back to zone I'm a sparrer But did the SST tournament already pass

I don't think sst is a thing anymore, I don't think anyone even spars any more

People still spar But Why take off SST

I tried to bring the SST back but it never happened... sadly. Wel technically it was the TVB, but that's what was meant by SST.

SST wasn't removed. We plan on another tourney soon.

Ok but when will be SST be

/Close Thread

All my projects won't be worked on anymore.
Reason: Not iZone Lat Admin anymore.
I would rather not talk about it.

Sorry Everyone.
