DayZ Map (Satellite/GoogleMap)

[#Sleepy 572]

So for my group of friends I was gonna have a Website made where it was just the DayZ map sort of like (http://dayzdb.com/map) but like the "Satellite" view from Google Maps. And I'd be able to make markers and lines drawing to where my friends should post up in real time.

It'd look sort of like this (http://imgur.com/a/ImMEL#1) except it'd be all of Chernarus, and essentially you could make one of those super large images from the birdseye views of Chernarus like 90000x90000 (Not literally but you get the gist.) and using the Google Maps website software it'd allow you to zoom in multiple times and move around.

Anyone know if one of these "Satellite" Maps of DayZ already exist or how you would go about making one.

I always thought directions would be cool. Like being able to find a route thats fastest to your destination.

Like DayZ map quest? xD

A lot of things would be possible you just need one person to make the birdseye view map part. They'd have to like have a new map or turn off loot/car/misc/tents/etc. So only the map is shown and nothing differs.

I would love to see this, I assume you are using the ArmA editor and not taking screenshots from a helicopter? I do know of this but it doesn't have any buildings on the tiles. I'm not at all familiar with ArmA but there is probably already a spectator mode or camera addon/script that could be used for this in the mission editor.

GCam came up in a quick search, I'm sure there are others too. http://www.armaholic...ge.php?id=10390

The DayZ wiki has a satellite map.

I've personally never used the Arma 2 Map editor I understand how you control it though, anyways I don't know how people make the huge pictures you can zoom in on. I mean like can you take an image that big with a standard computer rig or?

You would probably want to take screenshots of each grid.

Something that I think would be amazing, is if someone did a google maps street view of Chernarus.

That would be good

Yea, a lot of work. I'd have to divide the map into X amount of parts then go into Arma 2 Map Editor and align the shots then edit them and so forth. I'll look into this more, if anyone is interested in helping or has any ideas let me know.

I use this, it a bit more responsive than the dayzdb map.

10k*11k map =)
