[Wip][World Build] Echo Isles Remade.

[BanzBoyz77]

Hello people.


Today I am on the edge of finishing my latest project which is quite a success to me. This area, known as Echo Isles/ Darkspear Isles is divided into sections based on if the isle is large enough to hold a main quest. The main isle, split into 5 sections, is acting as my main questing area.

The player starts in the main camp, progressing into the Training Grounds, then into the Raptor Grounds, into the slaughterhouse of the prisons. From the prisons, the player will advance into the graveyard. These sections and more are in development currently, as 3/4s of the main isle is not in use yet.

From there, we are taken to Zul'Gul Isle. This isle holds the mages, witch doctors, priests, ect. who refuse to convert to the new power source of the Darkspears, Nature power. These trolls, following Zalazane's methods to destory the Darkspears, have possessed many of the great warriors of the Darkspear tribe.

From here, we turn our attention to the isle, Zalazane's Fall. This isle, no longer tainted, is controlled by the remaining trolls that broke away from the Zandalar Tribe. Fighting along side the Darkspear's, they help destory the Zun'Gul Tribe and kill the remaining threat left to the troll race.

This last isle, Sen'Jin Isle, is a placing ground for the last quest. This quest, a combination between a introductions to a boss fight and a real lore solidification, the player is joined by Alsika, Vol'Jin, Zula'Zan ( Powerful Witch Doctor) and the Voodos of Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, and the Wild; to destory the remaining essence of Hakkar, the Troll Blood God.

This and more, is in current creation. Many quests are being created from funny, to real lore establishing quests as you fight Troll ghosts, kill Prisoners, and defeat Hakkar and Zangale' Le ( Leader of Zun'Gul Tribe) to the point of raising your own raptor pet.

Before Postsing:

Do not criticize the lack of doodads in some pictures. This is a work in progress, mainly the main isle is complete. Still the prisons and the graveyard need a bit of work.

Thanks.

These islands look really well-made and blizzlike. I especially like the theme you put together with those building models. The only critique I would like to give is about the shaping of those islands,
some seem a little flat, don't they? (Sen'Jin Village for example).

This looks great man!

Just a quick question, How do you get water to work? whenever i try and do model edits, Water always bugs out on me.

I simply got the all water tool from a guide on the Model Editing guides. It's called Allwater_wotlk.exe

Hey, well done! I can't give any constructive critisism other than what Xel said.
Although, if you dont mind me asking, what textures do you use for the ground?

[BanzBoyz77]

I used Stranglethorn grass, Stranglethorn plant, and Stranglethorn Dirt. blp all found in tileset/azeroth/stranglethorn. Not too positive about the dirt though but the other 2 are in there.

I especially love this! It actually looks like a condensed version of the Cata Echo Islands, but better

[newtech]

Yea, what DavidTwo2009 said. I gotta be honest, I like this more than the Cata Echo Islands. Because this is so much more vanilla like, with the theme and buildings and stuff ;D I just love it ^_^
Really good job on that one +Rep from me.

Thanks

Very detailed with the feeling of that it's the same quality like blizzard could prestate, I got to love it.
I'll give you a five star rating out of five. By the way, check the message I've sent you earlier this day.

[BanzBoyz77]

Thanks everyone.

The idea of this build was to bring back the old idea from vanilla and combine it with Cataclysm since blizzard demolished my favorite area of all time. Last I checked Blizzard, Echo Isles is a jungle, not a desert sand with a little dark green.

I hope to release another edit soon.

I am going to try to make the ground a bit more unflat but I'm also trying to preserve the old echo isles terrain, but i can add a little variety

Well, you've gotten a lot better at what you've done.
Can't say a lot that hasn't already been said. But good job.
