How are DayZ Custom maps made?

[Mini Maracas 37]

Hi, I was wondering, how are the DayZ custom maps made? Like Lingor island, and all the others?

I was wondering, because I have a little bit of experience in level design/making for games, and am just curious of how the DayZ custom maps are made :)

Are they made by official people? Or just randomers out in the DayZ world?

Thanks.

P.S. I made a topic about this like half an hour ago, but it disappeared for me. I can't see it, not sure if it posted, so sorry if this is the 2nd one from me. :)

Arma2, only some objects etc are spammed around the maps by people... and some people have done that very badly, exsample the takistan... what an awfull map.

The maps are community made for ARMA not DayZ, they're old maps converted for DayZ

Adding the mod to the map I can't provide a tutorial for.

Ok thanks a lot! :) So buildings in the maps are all pre-made then? Is there a way to make new buildings? :D

Thanks again:)

I think you should check the BIS wiki and the BIS forum and ask for help here.

If you want to make a propper island it can take years before reaching the final version. It's not only some objects that are spammed around the maps by people :rolleyes:.

cya.

I have already merged your question because this is not the correct place.

If you can't find your post I guess you didn't click my content in your profile tab.
