Providing Free Maps

[Azura Skyy]

Please Read Before Posting!

NO EXCLUSIVES. (All of these maps will be public releases on rAthena)

 

 

The idea is simple. I'd like to take a few suggestions/requests for free maps from the community. I'd like you to tell me what the map should look like, this includes:

• theme (prontera/rachel/einbroch/lighthalzen/morroc/payon)- these all have very unique styles.
• setting (early morning, night, noon? Is the climate warm or cold?)
• nature (are there a lot of trees? bushes? flowers? what kind of trees? are the trees dying or full bloom?)
• terrain (is this region mountainous? Is there any water nearby? How does this play into the theme/setting/nature)

The more details you can provide, the more likely I am to take your request and the more likely I'll be able to create the map in your mind. I'm open to feedback and tweaks, but do understand that this is a free service and I am not required to fix endlessly until I have your satisfaction.

Things to Know

I DO NOT WORK WITH CUSTOM MODELS OR TEXTURES

 NO EXCLUSIVES. (All of these maps will be public releases on rAthena)

I will only be accepting a few requests- I'm thinking 3 or 4.

Should I find your request to lack enough details for me to work with, I will decline the request.

The maps I make will be made to order, but will be NO LARGER THAN 100x100 (200x200 in-game)

Each map should be expected to take no less than a week. They may be done sooner, but don't count on that.

Mapping is not an exact science and a lot changes over the course of creating it. If you want to be part of the process, I'd be open to taking feedback on your request throughout the creation process. (Screenshots and updates through Skype or rAthena Message system)

Hey Azura, here are some ideas/suggestions ^^.

 

Angel faction map -
� Theme - Rachel - I'm looking for a map simillar to Rachel's out line

� setting - Early morning, warm, bright and "friendly/majestic" in appearance.

� nature - Not and overbearing amount, but still a very present amount of trees. Preferebly ones in full bloom, I reall y like the Cherry Blossom trees in Amatsu, trees along this nature would be nice.

� terrain - I think it would be very interesting if this map could take place in the sky. Therefore, something simillar to this: http://hercules.ws/b...1-pvp-valkyrie/ . This may be too hard to implement, but pehaps a fountain in the middle of the map (with an Angelic statue?), If possible a castle of some sorts would be awesome as well.

 

 

Demon faction map -

� Theme - Rachel + Niflheim - I'm looking for a map simillar to Rachel's out line with a Niflheimic twist

� setting - Noon (dark, but not obtrusively dark, sunset. A little lighter than Niflheimic) , Cold, rugged features simillar to Niffilheims.

� nature - Not and overbearing amount, but still a very present amount of trees. Preferebly ones that are completely dead simillar to those in Niflheim. Cropses, dead shrubury.

� terrain - Rugged, but organized. Perhaps a mountainous terrain surrounding the city. I think it would be interesting to have a fountain in the middle of the map simillar to the one described in the Angelic realms but perhaps a Demonic statue, rough and rugged in stature. Also a castle would be amazing if you could add this as well. Sharp and rigid in features, with a very ominous presence.

I will began working on both of these today- outlining and clarifying details with you and should have something to show you by Saturday or Sunday (not a completed map). It is important to know that Sky maps have to replace existing Sky maps and therefore have to use a name with the same amount of characters, and of course, you will lose whatever map you replace.

 

That in mind, what map would you like me to use? Only sky maps I can think of off the top of my head are the Pope's sky temple from the Arunafeltz quest line and the Valkyrie map where the player rebirths. If you are using a job changer and my Quest Skipping NPC, we can make both of those maps redundant.

 

EDIT: Also, would you like it Rachel layout? Like the city's template and design? The building layout and pond in the same corner? Or just Rachel Textures/Models?

 

Other than that, I have my own ideas for what to do with the given information.

 

Thanks,

Awesome! I'm very eager to see what you come up with. You can replace the Valkyrie map if that works with you.

 

As for the Rachel themed layout, I defenitely like the cities general design and layout (a cross-like format). However, as for the lake take your liberty with it and move/get rid of it as you see fit according to the maps design. 

 

Thank you for taking on this project, i'm excited to see the results!

Feel free to add me, Azura Skyy (Ian) on Skype. This will make contact easier if you have specific ideas for the design.

I will be home in about 3 hours with a.rough design layout for you.

Thanks,

Very nice map Azura! I will definitely be using this in my server.

Hi Azura,

 

first of all, nice Work!

I will also start mapping very soon :3

 

 

Nevertheless, a nice idea for you from the "Night Angel Trilogy" by Brent Weeks.

 

City name: Cenaria

 

Theme: Hybrid with a rich side (east, Prontera themed) and a poor one (west side, maybe a bit smaller and payon themed)

Both sides are seperated by a river with a bridge as connector.

 

Poor area: muddy streets, barely any stones and most buildings are influenced by different architectures

Rich area: solid streets, houses and large mansions with little front gardens, a marketplace and a big castle on a little seperated island piece

 

Setting:  Early morning-noon, maybe if possible a bit dark atmosphere in the poor area

 

nature:

Rich area: some trees and flowers in the gardens, maybe some trees close to the main street.

Poor area: barely any plants but here and there some swamp flowers

 

 

I dont know if this is too large to be made but nevertheless its an idea

If wanted, I can provide some more information.

I regret to say that I do not feel comfortable taking this project. The map itself doesn't sound too difficult too make, and I rather like a divided city, but I don't think I could fit it neatly into the size of map I am offering.

 

I feel rude declining a map, but I do hope you can see it in-game sometime soon. While not free, there are several skilled mappers in the rAthena community, and you might do well to view their paid service threads.

 

Regards,

~Azura Skyy

Thanks for the nice responce and I really counted with a rejections since I knew the scale of the map would be kind of too big ^^

 

Therefor I will look at it as my first mapping project

Thanks anyways!

Halloween is drawing near.

 

So something I'd like to see is a Halloween Themed PvP map.

 

Preferably small, something that is 2v2 or 3v3.

It can be any layout that you'd like.

 

Only things I'd like to see is Halloween Styled Colors for lights and Decorations.

Accepted. I will began working on this as soon as I finish the Demon Faction Map I am working on. I imagine it will be no later than this time tomorrow that I start, and no later than Saturday morning that it is complete.

 

Thanks,

[Diconfrost VaNz]

[Azura Skyy]

Definitely trying. Did you have one you'd like to see? I haven't opened BrowEdit in a month.

[Diconfrost VaNz]

Well, personally i do have some but i don't think it can be done for free? LOL

 

Let's try.

 

• theme: Close to guild_vs3 map but something more different. it looks like the dragon ball z tournament arena but a bit different from it.
• setting: a warm-night setting
• nature: there are something like little grass around the arena with cute little flowers for decoration
• terrain: around the arena there's a sewer or dirty canal to make it scary shit.

 

HAHAHA

Just noticed this. I am busy for at least the next two weeks, but I will review this post again and get back to you.

Sorry for the late reply,

Okay

[Ego]

sir can you make a edited/custom map for LHZ dungeon 04... just a simple grayworld

I mean I got grayworld on most maps but since LHZ4 is a new map I don't have one.

so can I request one and please put on a guide on which folder should I put it in to or a grf file maybe.

thanks in advance... and more power!

 

just like this if you can...

As I told Disconfrost VaNz, I'm going to be inactive for a while, but I also don't work with custom textures. I'm not up for learning to use custom textures at the moment and not interested in producing a guide to match it. Sorry,

too bad
