Other than that Good luck.

Thats depressing. Who would want to play a server like that? I want a server thats much brighter that will portray life as fun lively place.

Because the dark, gloomy, dirty, and generic tileset was too much fun..?

Era's tileset isn't dark compared to most modern servers'...that's actually the one thing I liked about it. It is, however, something I tried to get revamped for quite some time because it's so bad .

EDIT:
Also, the two interior levels and the gmap that a user can see by logging on are pretty much terrible. Find LATs and don't call yourself one because you lack skills in any other department.

My GAT's are very good in my opinion, I do call myself a LAT because I've made a lot of levels and it's like the only dev I understand lol. And if you ever get gold, I hope you would consider helping me.

I find the graphics are decent.

^ Yes this is my server.

In that picture it looks very dull and the graphics make me want to smash my computer screen because it depresses me. Can someone make a server thats not modern, nor middle-ages, nor future. I would like to see a server that takes in a new time period and uses new ideas instead of the old replayed ideas. Awesome .

Thank you for your criticism.

Even if they include a day/night system, it will only make the server darker during the day.

Please, for the next modern server, bright colours even for the roads wouldn't hurt.

Great idea, will do.

LOL, thanks. Era is great but can use better tiles.

Yeah, we've got broken windows, fire animations and more on the way.

Not at all, look at Graal Ghetto, basically all black.

Nonetheless, cool idea jkldogg. Hope it works out for you. There was another server that got pretty far on the whole zombie idea, but i think the server died. Im sure you have seen it or if not, you should. Anyways my point is maybe you can improve your server even more by talking to their previous staff members and find what ideas they had and how they set their server up.

I agree with this guy.

The server should be very dark, scary and untamed. There should be blood and gore, there should be violence and swearing.

The server itself should be chaotic.

I'd work REALLY hard on eliminating the pattern in those tiles, like the grass and asphalt. Secondly, I'd look up some real references to urban buildings and such instead of even thinking of Era. I can tell there are some bad habits already picked up from the style Era has that has creeped over into your tileset, even when it barely makes sense. These small details are what makes it hard to see anything other than an Era look-alike, even when the overall picture was never meant to be such. What's with the orange traffic-line, by the by?

As for the post-apocalyptic feel... you don't need to sacrifice colors or make it all goth in order to create a post-apocalyptic setting. Destruction of the environment does not necessarily mean destruction of art. Color is indeed more widely associated with beauty and life, but if done well can be just as convincing as anything else. L4D2 pulled it off pretty well, in my opinion.

Totally agree. I personally find Zombie-ish settings to be rather easy to create.

Thank all of you for your great ideas! I intend on doing the whole dark gloomy idea of a server. And if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. I really need people who can Animate guns.

I dunno that it necessary needs to be dark and gloomy, although if done well it would certainly add to the atmosphere.

In any event, here's what our Zombie Outbreak event on Delteria looks like, to give you an idea:

Wow. That's the best modern style I've seen on Graal.
