Map request

[Zurvivalist 300]

I know some of you guys are a lot better at this than I am , 

So I'm asking for help making maps marking all the 

 

Game trails / Foot paths in the game ( trails through the woods , not dirt roads or paved) 

Actual freshwater locations with something like a blue highlight overlay. All the streams,ponds and puddles 

 

Animal spawn locations marked by type . 

 

I have been working on these on my own using photoshop and DayZTV squad maps. But its probably not the best method 

[boneboys 7988]

When work is finished on Chernarus+ there will no doubt be a toggle texture option when in the Map.

All complete BI maps/islands to date have this.

I would assume so as well , but for now I was thinking more along the lines of something simple , player made , just for those that find this info useful at the moment . 

My group prefers to hunt rather than loot for food , prefer to use ponds for water and fishing rather than wells . 

 

But total lack of useful info on say.. animal spawn locations, leaves us completely at the mercy of chance and luck , rather than knowing the good hunting grounds to atleast check for the spawns . 

I've personally only been able to lock down 8 reliable areas to hunt. None of which are above the northern highway line where a lot of us live. 

I have only seen , Elk, Boar, Chickens, Cows , in 59 , spotted Deer in 58 occasionally.  I've heard rumors of a Fox wondering around , but unconfirmed , and have yet to see any of the other animals listed on the wiki 

 

 

Sad this side of the game gets so little attention ... while Heli crash sites and routes are updated instantly ....

Many confirmed, under gallery The Fox .59 i posted a video. They are back since .58 someone say but not seen as much. Last couple of times i have witnessed 2 or 1 running around the world lol

 

seen the squirrel yet?

Lotations ? I've learned our critters are very territorial and tend to stick around specific neck of the woods

I'm not much good with photoshop either but I can give you some northern coordinates where I've seen and killed game.

Forgive me if I dont remember all of the builds exactly, but the locations are all solid in my memory.

013/054 - one white chicken, one brown chicken and a fox (all this build)

022/027 - cow herds (the last few builds)

015/049 - boar, I've seen him twice here (once this build)

014/030 - deer herd 

017/020 - deer herd (last build)

049/104 - deer herd between ponds

062/014 - deer herd at pond

064/017 - deer herd on treeline (several times across different builds)

037/011 - deer herd (I saw them only once here at the pond, I think it was .56)

073/029 - fox

077/041 - boar

 

If I can remember any more, I'll add to the list.

 

and another fox, this one north of Berezino woodline, approx 116/058

Awesome . I'll add them to the map I'm working on 

[Zurvivalist 300]

Starting to see a pattern 

[GaryWalnuts 1680]

A few more I can remember, not in the north

 

119/115 - deer

021/066 - deer

086/014 - fox

014/111 - boar

088/059 - cows

 

114/040 - at the top of Klen, I saw what I thought was ... a rabbit.

It was several builds ago, I believe before the fox was in.

Is there even a rabbit model?  or was there?

119/115 - deer ,I killed a boar just up by the tree stand  , .. interesting ... 

021/066 - deer

086/014 - fox

014/111 - boar  I also have shot a boar here 

088/059 - cows

Great , some of these I already have marked as located sighting myself , Which is great. Further proof they have set territories , 

 

Only rabbit I have ever seen was the dead rabbit from snares, would assume we have live ones, but never spotted .. probably help if i would figure out how to just disable grass entirely 

Chickens for example hide perfectly in high grass. As seen in my sig gif

I can add a few from playing on 0.59 experimental from release, plus 0.59 stable.

044.073 - Chickens south side of the hill marked as Veresnik near a military base (see 2-3 every time I pass through there).

081.071 - Chickens east side of the hunting shack in the Lesnoy Khrebet forest (One off sighting).

072.077 - Deer spazzing out inside the town of Novy Sobor, just southeast of the police station (One off sighting).

136.041 - Deer On the beach by the Rify shipwreck (One off sighting).

035.125 - Boar in the fields just north of Komarovo (One off sighting).

[Zurvivalist 300]

It this a pattern , or just simply where everyone travels ? 

[LucidHills 94]

You missed 035.125 (Boar).
Also, wouldn't it be better to separate the icons per animal species?

When I used to do a lot of heli hunting I would frequently see an animal near the heli spawn point.

Coincidence?

 This is a rough draft to look for patterns and other stuff. Once I feel I have collected enough data , I will make one in photo shop. 

Looking to see if their is a way to .. i dunno pull the data from the game files or something , like people do with loot spawns and heli sights

seems to me like the west side of the map has had a lot more of the developers attention than the North and east sides . As if they are trying to keep people congregated to that one side of the map for some reason. 

[Kirov (DayZ) 585]

Good work with the coordinates and the map, you gang. Just recently I wanted to ask for some good hunting grounds.

[sneakydudes 278]

Lotations ? I've learned our critters are very territorial and tend to stick around specific neck of the woods 

Location was right becide the south west military area in the open field going west. Close to the deer stand was its pathing.

 

Another one i found was just north west of cherno heading towards cherno the fox. It too was in an open field heading south.

 

I hope that helps locate them.

Would need rough coords to isolate possible spawn point 

What I'm planning on doing is maybe drawing radius circles around actual spawn points to show what areas they travel. 

But something tells me that they don't randomly cover a circular area. They have a set spawn point , then a preferred path they take. If something attacks them , Then they either run off into random directions or the attempt to follow set path at full speed. 

I did figure out from chasing a chicken around for a little while , that they do have object avoidance for the most part. And will stop occasionally to check and see if they are still being chased or to choose their new path.

Rough idea of what i want the map to be based on 

Video of me chasing a chicken , mainly to learn the AI a bit , but also for fun .

[sneakydudes 278]

best guess was 02X, 12Y down but started in top grid 03 12/11 my best guess. It was heading straight west to 01 cords.

The other was just 05x by 11/12y.

 

It could have been the same fox on different days, that circled around and followed paths or it could have been multi fox's running around at the same time.

 

There is no way a litter of pups got out did it? hehe

Are these locations of animals?

[LucidHills 94]

Yes, but they're not guaranteed as they are just the locations where animals have been seen by those in this thread.

[igor-vk 909]

Then I can add: 086-104 - two (or maybe more) hinds on pond with small dam.

And white chicken on that same road in direction to Electro.

Both just few days ago on stable.
