Engin Ear's Tromacity

Description
Hello again friend.

I've made something once more, and would like you to see it.

Unfortunately, I ran into a couple issues and I wanted to know if you can help, If you
think you can read the Map Woes section.

As you may know, Playing B 41 for me, felt like I was playing the old Resident Evil games all
over again. so I made a map that is a playable Modder's Resource, for mod testing. very much
in the style of Resident Evil 3.

Tromacity is a 1x1 challenge map with Survivors that is not connected to the main game world
and is made for mod testing purposes, it has a insane amount of weapon spawn sites, medical
spawn sites, and car spawn sites. It would also probably be a great map for that tow truck mod.
Considering I've blocked many of the roads with wrecks and road blocks.

I wanted to make Tromacity to get better with TileZed, and the WorldEd. while also making a
cool map for everyone to play. Tromacity is also a Modders Resource that can be used by
anyone for anything so long as you link back here. I've included all of the Raw map files in a
.RAR in the mods folder. Including all the buildings I edited.

I didn't make most of the buildings on this map, almost all of them came from the pack
blackbeard has on the forum. I made a "Clocktower", some parks, and all the road blocks.
Special thanks to EnvyDemon for his Sheriffs office that I edited and added to this map.

Thank you to anyone who has ever contributed free assets to the community.

Mods Used - https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2417853422
I would suggest NOT using Cars Redistribution from this mod list as I've hand placed alot
of custom spawns.

I would suggest playing with Custom Sandbox. I found it's most enjoyable with
high item spawns and a zombie population of 2.0 with redistribute hours set to 1.0


-Map Woes-


I had many issues with making this map so if you are a map maker or know about
map making and want to help me add me on steam and we can talk.

Basically, I Lack an understanding of some of the systems that the map editor uses.

Some Examples
I wanted to place stop lights. I couldn't figure out how to place the stoplights top tile one
level up. So I made the stoplight into a lot in the building editor and placed them that way.
I would assume this is not optimal.

Another issue with layers not levels. What layer do the Cars sit on? Because
drive over any manhole in the map and it looks WIP, Drive too close to some of the fences it
looks WIP, and I don't want it that way.

Lastly, in the building editor if you make a room without a roof it will be dark even though
it is light outside. My only workaround was to put lights outside see the Water Tower
in the center of the map for an example.

If you post in the comments, know I'll be archiving it from now on. I will be Reposting your stupid comment if you deleted it, so everyone can laugh at it.

Thanks for reading my ramblings.

My next map will be bigger and an island "paradise" (Need answers to my "map woes" before I finish this.)

Based off the Lloyd Kaufman film?

Update: This will probably be the last update, including bug fixes. I never got an answer too the questions I asked. so I moved on from Zomboid, Probably not coming back to modding until the game is released.

Thank you for all your support.

Keep an eye out for my other projects.

Until I have a mouse again,

This is the only released version of this map. V.1

I'm gonna assume you are ESL and talking about Tromaville.
Tromaville is Small town with less buildings in a 1x1 cell.
Where as Tromacity mostly city for a 1x1 cell

I made these maps as resources for the community to learn about map making. while also providing a testinghall of sorts for mod authors.

Hi, what's the difference between this and your previous version?
