Development Note: I reached the deadline of free time I had to work on this (Friday, December 9th, 2011) and this is what has been completed. Going forward, I won¡¦t have the time/energy to work on this further. This city does require finishing touches to bring it to life. See README for more details.
Oriental Adventures City
Setting: Those of you who have watched Kung Fu films (especially those produced by the Shaw Brothers) may find this city familiar in many respects. One of the strengths of the Oriental Adventures D&D system is that it mixes numerous real Asian civilizations. So it is my hope that you can find some use for this regardless of the nature of your project and despite its strong Chinese influence. If you are short of ideas on how to use this city, it was designed as a martial arts culture with rival martial arts schools, rival criminal gangs and rival clans all in the same city.
Usage: For Documentation on this city, please download the README. For any questions/issues, please visit the following thread on the Bioware boards:
oa_city_build.rar: This is a directory with all areas included
orient_city hak.rar: This is all the content customized for this city. It should be top of the hak list
oa_prefabs.rar: These are prefab buildings etc for your use
oa_blueprints.rar: These are customized blueprints for your use
The remaining downloads are optional. They are individual area erf files. All these areas are in the city build directory already:
OA_Full_city.rar: The city area
OA_Building.rar: All the custom buildings laid out in an area
OA_Placeables.rar: All the custom placeables laid out in an area
OA_Random.rar: Has placeable doors that fit each building
OA_Shops.rar: Has all the shop interiors laid out in the area.
Credits: You may use this area in any way you like whatsoever without giving me any credit. You can cut/slice/dice/expand/improve etc. this area any way you see fit and repost your creation on the vault and elsewhere. However, if you do so, I would appreciate it if you did two things for me:
1. That you give your creation with the same expectations as me. In other words, no demands for credit giving on your part. I would like to see this work shared as freely as possible in the most unrestricted manner. So I would be disappointed to see people put demands on others regarding the usage of this prefab.
2. That you do give credit to the following authors whose placeables were of great use in creating this city (and vote for their work too). Just because I do not believe in credit giving doesn¡¦t mean that those who do should not be given credit. To each his own.
