I have had the luck of getting drawn twice now to test DS2 on the PS3 - this weekend is my second go around, wish I had a way to take screenies and such, but so far so good :D

Just wanted to share some King's Field maps that I remade in RPG Maker a while back. Was thinking about doing some sort of fan-game or remake in the program, but put it on hold shortly after I discovered the SOM editor. I may pick it up again in the future.


This is the remade first floor of the Royal Cemetery, from King's Field 1.


And the unfinished second floor.


The West Shore from King's Field 2.


Lastly, here's a combination of Quist and the Ancient Battleground from King's Field 3.

Hey,

Pretty much decided now I'm gonna re-create most of the stuff from King's Field, with more polys and quality. It'll be posted in this thread as I complete enough to release a pack. These packs'll be anything from textures, to item models... Maybe even a map piece set or two if I can keep focus when making one.

If you wanna use these resources with SOM, there's a few things you'll need to know.
1) The models aren't scaled to SoMs default size. You'll have to do that one.
2) They're not plug and play, you'll have to convert them to a format SoM can handle (I'll post models in .OBJ and images in .PNG)
3) I probably won't texture the item packs, just because I don't know a thing about texturing items.

These are some SoM controls which might be helpful. ‎  I'm not sure if they're listed elsewhere so I thought I start a collection.
If anyone knows other less obvious controls, please post and I'll add them.

On the map assembly grid:
Shift + LMB = select an area of pieces
+/- ‎  = raise/lower selected Piece's elevation
Ctrl + LMB (Twice) on a placed Map Piece ‎  = Go to that Piece on the Piece list and copy its elevation when placing other Pieces
Ctrl + Left/Right Arrow = jump to left/right side of map window
Page Up/Down ‎  = ‎  Jump to top bottom of map window

On any 3D preview window:
LMB = Rotate model
RMB = Move model sideways
LMB+RMB = Zoom in /out

In Parameter Editor:
With "Registry List" slot selected, press 0, 1, 2 etc = jump to item #000, #100, #200 etc (Pressing again goes forward 1 item)

In the PrtsEdit tool:
CTRL + (letter) when selecting piece data ‎  = jump to files starting with that letter. Doesn't work for "H".

On various text lists such as Item/Object dropdowns and Event command lists, you can push a letter key on the keyboard to jump to the items that start with that letter. For example, you can press "w" in the item dropdown to jump to "weapon" or "b" to go to "Begin Screen Effect" in the event command list. Pushing the same letter again will cycle through entries that start with that letter.

Dunno, I got bored this afternoon, and having not found a job yet, money is really tight, so I made use of sources of entertainment I already had, and put some time into MS3D. I remade some of the clutter from King's Field I (US), and also a sword I was inspired by King's Field to make... If someone wants these, you can have them, they're not great though.

Barrel: (Textured, not my sources)

Quote:Just a barrel really...

Quote:This next one has one of the HD King's Field texture remakes I'm doing for the stone.

Quote:This also uses the stone texture which Brazier 1 used.

Quote:This is pretty much just a smaller barrel, I just noticed it was clutter in KF1

Quote:My first attempt at making a sword... I think it went pretty well, just a shame I'm not artistic enough to give it a nice texture... Ah well.

I was searching for "King's Field IV" this morning, and I found this image result --



Dunno if anyone has found this before, but it looks like the area where the girl with the first fire crystal is, but who's the guy by the gate? He isn't normally there if I'm not mistaken...

Another here, what are these?



This last one actually looks like a totally new area... Any information, am I just being stupid?

Original Post:

While still debating what I'd like to do for my next SOM project, I am coming very close to the end of my first Shadow Tower playthrough and was pondering the thought of developing a lite remake of Shadow Tower using the SOM editor. It wouldn't be an exact replica, obviously, it would play more like King's Field and have slightly different weapons, items, and enemies. The maps seem like they'd be easy enough to recreate, all of them are indoors and Shadow Tower is built on a grid system just like in SOM, so it'd be like connecting dots (kings-field.neocities.org also has some convenient reference maps that would help with that). Just to clarify, I only intend to do this with the default resources that come with the program, as I am not skilled enough with textures or modeling at all.

Anyway, if you have any ideas or suggestions, please share them.

I was just remembering how impressive the system used in The Elder Scrolls Morrowind was, where you could walk forever in any direction and never come to the "end of the world" wall. It accomplished that by making the world out of seamlessly joined grid of square maps which were loaded or generated as the player entered an area. If you walked to the edge of the continent in any direction, you came to the coast, then islands, then finally just endless ocean- but still no "end of the world" wall or instant death event like other games usually use to contain players.

Since you could make new islands/continents anywhere, you could expand almost endlessly without having to "teleport" to new areas. That added a lot to the sense of immersion.

Does anyone know of other games that had "endless" auto generated game worlds?
