DayZ - DeerIsle (Map)

[grillstern666 43]

"DEERISLE"

 

 I want to share my work of my first terrain project for DayZ with you: "Deerisle" - a 16km x 16km area (4096 * 4m cellsize). Since I`m not a pro and relatively new to Terrain Editing in DayZ/Arma, I do not know how long this project will take to finish - but I will do my best and I`m willing to learn if stucked :-)  This first pic is the current Sat Image of the planned island.

If you want to have a look/walk around the real location on google maps: click here

Tools & Sources used so far:

• Google Earth (to get Coords (lat & long))
• Google Earth Downloader  (to download all sat tiles and compose them to the big Sat image)
• Heightmap from:  https://lta.cr.usgs.gov 
• L3DT (for editing Heightmaps)
• Photoshop (for editing Heightmap, Sat- & Maskimage)

this looks like it could be an awsome map

Since I got my map the first time running in dayz today, this is the first very early wip video :-)

One playability suggestion that several of us have learned from maps like taviana and namalsk - While it may not be entirely realistic to do so, destroy/put holes in some of the fences.  The walled compounds on taviana were so horrible to get into and out of sometimes!

Thx for the info. I will try to take this into consideration!

Hi I notice your clutter is working but i recently lost  all mine in the  Tools update fiasco  .

 I wonder are you using Chernarus  ground texture and so it is working  because same names  or are they custom texture with new names and config ? 

 

Cheers in advance

Hi, it was a long long way until I got the map running ingame. I was surprised when clutter was displayed, cause I read your post where you lost them, and I did not expect to see it on my map ingame. So it was a positiv "bonus" when clutter was displayed (and until now not disappeard).

Back to your question: I am just using the basic textures found in my P:\dz directory  in my layers.cfg - nothing special or custom made. If it helps, my layers.cfg

class layers
{	
	class deerisle_broadleaf_dense1
	{
		texture = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(0.5,0.5,0.5,1)";

	};
	
	class deerisle_broadleaf_dense2
	{

Ah cheers  ,, becuase you use  origial cp_   prefix it will work   but i used  my  prefix  and  now its broken , in Arma 3  using cp_  meant origianl chernarus would break  and change to new   maybe in new engine its not so , 

 i will go back also to cp_ i think . 

 

Cheers for info

The map has a very interesting landmass. To make this map fun and meaningful, it needs working boats.(connecting all islands with bridges would break much experience.) Until these are delivered by BI, it takes a while. This means for you that you can also take the time to design the map. Thumbs up for you.

Hey man,

Very nice map ! Could you post your config.cpp ? I can't get my own clutter to work even with the original cp_ prefix
