A few photos I'd also like to point out that MAP consists of several model packs that can be purchased on Fab And buildings are modeled by the month and integrated There's no dependence on MAP This is a principle I'd like to respect for a practical story

We're already about 2 weeks into development on the MAP. In any case, I hope you enjoy all of this. And if there's any bug or problem, don't hesitate to let me know. I'll try to fix it as best I can. But sometimes, it's not easy with Enfusion. 
Looking good mate ๐
Very Nice map๐๐
Yes, for now it's a beta version, but I plan to make a much larger version with two cities.
Preparation of the MAP version V 2 It will be 20 km instead of 10 km Compared to the first version I am also working on custom trees Which would be much more desirable / Yucca brevifolia And I will work on different desert rocks And there will be 2 cities The first city that you knew on the first version And a port city by the sea
I finally finished the missing item in my Map: A nice cowboy hat. ๐ค
will you have LOD's for the joshua trees?
I haven't started preparing the model yet But I had a pack of desert vegetation models And there is this tree in question But the only problem is that I have to retexture it since he was using it He was using shaders for unreal engine https://www.fab.com/listings/78a6b75f-4687-4ba6-ab4b-d863d0af9491

What mod is that cowboy at from?
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/64EB153B8E9A1B8E-USAMeridianMap From the MAP
You can find it in US military equipment
Oh okay thank you. Also is there a game master version?
For the map yes
Okay awesome
this shits fire
?
Hes saying its good, american slang is weird
brev I literally have the england flag in my pfp
Your pop culture is imported from America like Canada and other English speaking countries, Iโm not trying to insult you Iโm trying to explain to bossman
after personally I am French after each his cultures
This conversation has lost its meaning lets bury it here ๐
Awesome mods! ๐๐๐
Did some decorating in GM of the sheriffs office
What kinda additions to the map will there be?, i think a small county jail / prison would be good, maybe some small hill Billy camp somewhere outside the town in the desert too maybe?
I have some big surprises in store for you for map V2
O.o
Great pictures. I have a quick question what hair models are you using in those pics?
A mod called hair and beards
I downloaded that and surprised it works for you
Also if youโre looking for better looking LE vehicles Thereโs a mod out there โsheriff reloads vehiclesโ itโs by a guy named beard
It's the same vehicle just a retexture
What mod did you use for the outfits?
Law enforcement And RHS
Anyways some things that would be cool to see in this map, I've made a list
An extention on the town, primarily more residential buildings / houses, there's already a good couple of shops around.
A bar maybe one in the town and another near the map border on the edge of one of the roads
A motel, being far from the town on one of the large main roads, possibly somewhat run down and rustic
A hill Billy camp, out in the desert a few camper vans, tents and tables
A county jail, a small walled of prison / jail with cells, a courtyard, guard barracks and offices
An abandoned location, or any kind maybe an abandoned motel, or mine shaft, or some old ruined gas station,
Oil fields, out in the desert some oil drills and such
A coach station on the outskirts of the town, where busses and coaches park up for arrivals and departures
A hospital or pharmacy of some description in the town
A fire station
A mechanics / garage, possibly attached to or near the gas station
It's a very cool small map, so hopefully it gets some love rather than pushed to the side for the other map
Would you allow me to use this photo to put it in a painting in the sheriff's station?
Absolutely, if you want i can take a few more ones to use with better backgrounds and stuff? Maybe some older looking pictures to show off some of the previous Sheriff's or something?
That would be great
And I took note of the list. It will help me a lot to know what you will like.
Also if you are looking for some help with stuff like decals or anything similar i can help in that aspect, I'll show some stuff I've down below
Awesome, it's nice to see a creator listen to the people, keep up the good work
Oh, don't worry about this, I'm pretty good at it, I'm a graphic designer in my spare time, but thanks anyway.
Ah okay wicked
I hope the translation is good. Sorry, I'm French and I translate everything with Google Translate. I think there may have been a mistake. In any case, it wasn't my intention to be mean.
Don't worry, it didn't come across as mean, your all good!
Ah OK, well perfect. On this one, I'm going to wish you a good evening since it's late at my place.
No worries, goodnight man
Some reference images
@pearl canopy here are some portraits, let me know if you want some more, or some different ones?
Some Advance on Cherif's desk
Oh hell yeah man, that's looking really good
Hello, I built a baseball field and I wanted to know if it complied with the sport of baseball. In terms of these rules and everything. From what I saw on the Internet, it corresponds.
I also added this Sawmill, I don't know what you think about it.
Looking pretty good ๐๐๐
Both look really good and fit the map well
Afterwards, honestly, I gave up on desert vegetation. Trees are really complicated to grow. I went for a mix of the two. Some forests and at the same time, small desert areas.
could make the map a bit more green perhaps
Afterwards, I like to keep this aspect of cooked grass To show that it is the middle of summer And it is really hot in the reference city that I chose The grass of this color there, well cooked
I also did this kind of wild heist
it looks great but with many trees it would be unrealistic for there to be some green, atleast around the roads and buildings, this photo is west texas
C'est vrai qu'un petit peu de verdure, รงa a ferait du bien. Il faut que je vois comment je peux faire รงa.
Afterwards, I noticed that in certain seasons It looks pretty much like what I would just have to change the color of the leaves otherwise
Oh, honestly, I think it might be too complicated to be able to put green grass in some places. I'm already very limited because of the 5 material limit on the terrain But I'll try to see what I can do
I think a few small dotted trees is good, but mostly bush and grass vegetation works
This feels like too many trees, i think a few scattered ones is better
Afterwards, I don't really know, I find that it's a bit fast, otherwise there aren't many when you look at View from Above
Otherwise, here is where the map is from above.
Ah okay that's not so bad from above tbf
I think it was just the angle, a few trees scattered out into the desert may be good too
But I'm still going to try to work a little more with other elements to avoid putting too many trees
I'll see about trying to do that.
Bushes and shrubs are good, there's not too much diversity in the vegetation out in the desert so i think it doesn't matter too much as opposed to most maps
Otherwise, I can't wait to attack the 2nd city which will be by the sea, I think it will be magnificent
Afterwards, I admit that I don't really want to put only areas where there are only bushes. I find that it's a bit fast for such a big map. That's why I prefer to mix between trees and bushes. With this semi-desert side.
Fair enough
Because the problem I had on the V1 was that it looked too much like a desert in Australia or an African desert and it looked less American whereas here, with the trees, I find that it corresponds much more After all, everyone has their own perspective on things. But in any case, it's nice to be able to debate it and get your opinion. Thank you very much.
No worries, did you want any ideas for the city on what to include?
Well, anyway, thanks for your ideas. I've considered the bar idea. I think I'll make one.
I think it would be a cool idea for a hang out spot
Afterwards, I have this area where I don't yet know what I'm going to put. I think I'm going to put more businesses.
After all this area, I think I'll put mobile homes there. To create a deprived neighborhood.
I think a motel would fit there either a small one or you could work in a big car park outside the motel to fill in all the space?
Oh, I hadn't thought of that at all At first, I had planned to put it in the middle of nowhere But now, I admit that would be perfect And it would avoid having too many shops in the same place
Will we see more custom american style houses or do you plan on using alot of vanilla houses?
I temporarily plan to use some wooden houses in vanilla but as soon as I can, I will make custom houses but well, it takes a lot of time to prepare and to have a correct result. But I will already make a collection of mobile homes with several variants it is in one of my number 1 priorities
And I think I'll base it on a GTA Mobile Home. There's no better reference and these batteries, the style I want.
Sandy shores is really good reference to the map your making tbf
To be honest, the 2nd city, I completely redid the roads Since I find that in terms of size it is perfect and that it is very hard to find small cities in the United States. After I do not intend to remake it as it is in GTA I rather plan to make it like a Very modern city Which has a lot of money thanks to tourists But which still remains a small city That is a bit what I am aiming for as DA for this city Afterwards I don't know what you think about it.
Like if you did something like this layout for the hotel and carpark? Blue area being the motel and grey being the car park
That's what I had already started doing lol
Afterwards, I plan a slightly smaller structure for the motel and to make a swimming pool in the back.
This is what I plan
That looks good, maybe have the sign in office / check in, on the right in the little corner
Exactly the idea I had
Oh, and I admit that over the last few days, I've been looking at a lot of reference images on Pinterest and motel plans. So that helped me quickly get my idea off the ground.
It's looking good so far
Would be cool to see some streets like this, towns like Prescott, Arizona could be used as referance and it would fit with the vibe of your map
That's kind of what I have as an idea for the 2nd city, honestly.
Anyway, thanks for the ideas.
maybe to add a little idea, If you need to fill some rural space, adding a simple outdoor shooting range with some dirt walls and a little shelter might be neat. Also hard to imagine the US without one ๐
Oh actually that's a really good shout, a gun store / gun range
And a small rural bank or something either in the city or smaller city
Some ideas to fill out the stores
Clothes store
Gun store
Supermarket
Tailors
Antiques store
And that's good, I had planned to make a gunshop But once again thank you for all these ideas It allows you to participate in developing the MAP Otherwise here is the progress of the motel. And in addition, I had planned to make a shooting range in the desert in the middle of nowhere.
It's looking good
I think something like that at first
That also would be good
Have you got a discord we can follow your progress in or is everything being showcased here?
Bro it looks pretty good for mid summer in the South.
It's only green when it rains
The map looks excellent, excited for something that won't look so European in layout
As for the company buildings on the new version of the map, the company buildings have changed quite a bit and regarding the roads I have already reworked them quite a bit on the New version
Anyway, what I can tell you is that the next update will add a lot of things.
Looks really good so far, excited for the release
Me too, so far the maps been amazing
Hell yeah, that's looking awesome
agree, really looking forward to this map
keep up the good work and dont forget to take breaks
Unfortunately, what really slows me down is my daytime work. I can't wait for the weekend to make crazy progress.
would it be out of line to request you add a fast food restaurant so we can have a COD MW2 Burgertown reference?
Ovbiously any real fastfood brand would be not allowed, and burgertown is likely copyright by activision, but im sure the community can come up with some other name
Bad ass
los pollos hermanos ๐
Crazy Jack's Burger
I am pleased to announce that I have released an update to the MAP And I needed to release it to fix some bugs It is now no longer possible to play on V1. There was no longer much interest And it was confusing for some people. Unfortunately, I did not have time to make the Mobile Home and the restaurant in city number one But they will be available very soon ๐๏ธ
@night robin
Sick
Oh dude this looks so good
Call it... "Town burger." Very original. Definitely. Yup. ๐๐ป
Wish I could find a mod to get a good plate carrier version but this will do lol
Tbf it's not that far off what they use, that or the first selection of plate carriers are also good, the thin tan ones
Olive ones also look good from the RUS box
Yo what mod is it that allows you to search and detain someone like this?
Unfortunately it's just the animation mod everyone uses, and i positioned them to make it look like that, the officer is actually doing the House dance, i just froze it at the right moment ๐
Yeah honesty I hate the white version of the uniform they all just be green or tan lol
Very good idea, it's really nice to see people trying to participate in the project. I will see if your proposal suits my projects.
Thank you
It will be fixed soon I forgot to remove the door since normally you are not supposed to enter this bathroom
i love a shitty MS paint diagram
@pearl canopy will you be adding a county jail in the future? just thought it might be a cool idea for the map
I know thereโs already a few small cells in the sheriffs office just an idea lol
Sounds awesome thank you!
It's inspired by a pizza hut ๐
Here is the progress on the restaurant
Neat!
i can't wait to see the inside:
Is hospital, school and fire department are in plans?
there will be no school but there will be a hospital
Awesome
Mobile home is like trailer parks right?
Yes
Awesome!
It would be cool to have both. Maybe houses on the nice side of town and then trailers on the not so good area. Also little Tommy is gonna hit so many cars if he hits a home run his dad is gonna be pissed๐
Both are cool
Have a mobile home park near the crappier side of the town, with a fence around it, iwith a front gate or something.
I'll try to think about where I could put it.
But it's true that both options are very interesting.
However, I admit that in this location, I mostly see a rather modern residential area, with only houses, given that we're close to the city center of this small town.
It's something to think about, but I see that the votes are leaning towards a residential area. ๐ค
This project is dope
I think a residential area near to the big city would be good and then out near the smaller town a trailer park would be good
A US styled big city isn't really possible unless he makes a ton of custom US styled buildings
No not like a proper big city but he is doing a small city
Here, this sorta city
That's not a city, that's Old Town style
Imagine fighting on the maps against aliens or xenomorph on the map ๐
you mean like the things from #1345385587733172224?
I foresee a slightly larger city than the other with lots of American buildings and small buildings
Personally, I like fighting zombies in Still the Walking Dead.
but otherwise this is what I plan for the residential area ๐ก
Any chance we can get the buildings in a seperate mod in the future once the project is complete so others can make US styled maps with them?
That be awesome! ๐๐๐
Yes, it will be possible very soon. I will soon change the license of the mode so that people can use the buildings And the decorative objects It's just that for now I can't yet I have to sort out some things about the licenses I have that at the beginning, I had associated myself with a project but that finally I prefer to remain independent
And I started a first house for the neighborhood.
And I tried a little thing for the sidewalks, I don't know what you think, but it looks pretty good with it. To be seen with the houses Otherwise, I will model a model For the sidewalk if you don't like it 
Is that the concrete pad asset? It looks fine. Lots of places in Rural US don't have sidewalks though, so I think it'd also be fine without
They'll have a strip of gravel on the side of the paved road instead. That should be easy to texture
Afterwards I base myself on a neighborhood in this style I really like the style and I think it would go well

residential area with houses
victor_answer_emoji_name
๐
Will house's have multiple different textures so there's variation?
the new buildings look very cool. Which program are you using to model them?
Yes I'm aiming for about ten different houses for this neighborhood. I'd like all the houses to be different to immerse the player in the environment.
I use Blender for modeling and textures and Substance Painter. But I use about ten Blender plugins to make my work easier. So I have a somewhat custom Blender, honestly.
really cool!
I was thinking on starting to do some buildings myself (I was thinking on small french town assets) to let people start building other maps other than eastern looks)
If you need any modeling advice, I'll be there, no problem. And I speak French, I am French.
love this map, i'm gonna make a mod that adds armed US civilians
do you think you could maybe take a screenshot of the LOD texture and make the satmap look like it?
Great idea.
I'll have to look into it, but for now I'm focusing on the residential area.

Damn, you make assets quick.
What's the destruction model going to look like?
I haven't implemented this on my buildings yet.
And here is the 2nd house, more UVs to do and the textures.
Omg I can't wait to use these beautiful models
Quick question, will there be like a โnicer sideโ of housing?
โค๏ธ
USA Country Life Map Scalable project
Another bug found was in one of the jail cells, there's a bed in the way
Thank you for bringing these different problems to my attention. I will see how to correct them.
But... they're suppose to be on the sidewalk..
thats not a public sidewalk lol, thats just the walkway that goes around the building
lots of old motels have this style of roof/balcony support on the edge:
Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to answer, but unfortunately, I wasn't available at the time.
I want to respond now regarding your bug reports.
Regarding the toilets, I was already aware of that. The houses aren't finished yet, and I still have to import a lot of furniture to be able to decorate them properly.
That's why I'd like to warn you: the houses may change between updates. Some may even be replaced by others.
Regarding the two barns on the small farm, it's intentional if one is a little off. Personally, I find it prettier.
For now, the only bugs that really worry me are the lighting effects. @feral silo
I LOVE THESE MODELS!
Good job @pearl canopy looks great

Iโm not allowed to advertise on other peoples posts so youโll have to either private message me or look for a recruiter on the community discord channel
Personally, I'm interested too, I don't mind you talking about it.
Appreciate it Pierre
Itโs pretty much like FiveM but on Arma haha
@pearl canopy curious if thereโs gonna be a hospital, school, market etc lol

I have good news, I've finished my little break on the development of the MAP. I'm going to resume development And I'm going to launch lives on twitch so that you can follow the progress I was able to take the time to reflect on the evolution of the MAP And I would have a little survey to do for you Do we change the vegetation and go for green grass Or do we continue with this very burnt grass from the summer 
Some spots of green near the town and along the road might be good, but overall Iโd say keep it dry
Great, thanks Sam, it reassures me a little about my decisions. It's just that lately, it's been pretty disgusting to me. I had the impression that you really don't like the environment, but in the end, it reassures me quite a bit. Thank you very much.
Errr my name isnโt sam and I havenโt said that I didnโt like it lol itโs a great map
Sorry, Google Translate must have made some mistakes.
Lol okay, great map mon frere
I've been thinking, and I believe it would make more sense for the map to take place in California rather than Texas. I'm planning to create a coastal area, and Texas doesn't really have a sea. 
?
I think it would be cool for it to be a fictional place and take inspiration from different US states, like Chernarus and Takistan, Altis is fictional areas in the arma verse but based on real areas
The MAP is already fictitious, it's just an artistic choice for the State
The map could always have the more arid texas regions in the southern half and slightly more greener and ยซricherยป suburb style areas in the northern half
Like you said it was loosely based on sandy shores, the north could be based on Paleto bay, to break up the map and not make it all feel the same if you are worried about that
Tbf meridian is a real place in America
Oh interesting
I changed some settings on the grass effects and the grass material. I managed to get this result between yellow grass and green grass. I don't know if you like it. And I think about it. I started working on a small funfair by the sea. I'm going to see if I can make a working Ferris wheel. That would be just amazing.
I like it
That grass is perfect

What server is that?
I would love to join as Law Enforcement. I am a Law Enforcement Supervisor & Department Head for a Large Whitelisted FiveM Server
@pearl canopy
Sorry, I haven't been able to develop a server yet. My priority remains the design of this MAP and Assets for RP. But it remains a map that aims to do RP in the future. And I hope that servers can be built on my MAP and I will be ready to help them if necessary. To provide them with everything they need.
How did you take that photo?
@restive ridge Do you have a server or did you just get friends to help you?
I think roleplay in arma reforger especially on this map would be amazing. I am definitely interested & I think my skills & experience set me apart from almost anyone else
I created a second ride for the platform. Don't judge me for choosing ducks as a horse.
I think that's the right speed. 
Loving the map so far, can't wait to see it expand. Here's a little pic I took on Meridian
Here's another one
Amazing in the photo
Photo was taken with AI in private GM although there is a LEO RP server
@spice vale
Homie this dude is looking for a LEO RP server, with this map
If Angers finishes the texture of the 2nd ride A nice little decoration I trust you not to judge me with the ducks
We love the ducks, more ducks!
Ducks make the world go 'round
This might be a silly question since you're still focused on Meridian but do you plan on doing more American maps in the future?
I love this map
Yes Plus I'm getting better and better and I'm discovering more and more things so I think that for the next ones it will be better and better.
Have you thought about a city map?
non
Oooo, looking nice so far.
when do I get pulled over for going 62 in a 60 while someone else blows past at 90 and the cop doesn't care?
I see your post in your map on the workshop saying we can use your assets for our own maps, but is there a seperate pack or do I haev to have your mpa as a dependency?
Yes you have to make the MAP dependent for the moment I have not yet had time to develop an object pack
What mod adds the belt n bags?
I believe itโs called Sedona itโs a anti cartel law enforcement mod
Yeah that sounds right, i used to have it but couldn't remember the name ๐
Yeah kinda gotta piece it together buddy ๐
Where is it? I don't see it on the workshop
In 5 minutes
Project died ???? lol
I don't think so, i think the maps still gets updates so, just nothing is being posted here
Hello everyone, I would like to announce that the project is getting back on track and I needed to take a break which finally allows me to get back to the project. 
After so many galleys, I am happy to announce that I have finally finished this famous police station.
Here are some models that I made for the MAP, it might be pretty good in terms of decoration. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/usps-collection-box-145ebefe9770407686ae956ce2079139

I don't really know, I was thinking of doing a Walmart.
Buckies
I'll think about adding one.
Hell yeah!
"Ramirez! Defend the Walmart!"
A little advance on the MAP, I added a building under construction And I allowed myself a little Game master evening on my MAP It gave a real military base
Is there a way to play this map currently?
Yeah it's on the workshop

I would still like to warn you that the map will either be paused or completely stopped at an advanced level, unfortunately due to a false manipulation and a problem with my PC I lost the map files and I haven't found a solution to recover them yet I'm thinking of starting a new project which would be to redo the White House and make it a mission map and with a Game Master too. If you have any ideas on how I can recover my map files, I'm all ears ๐
maybe the good folks Bohemia Interactive can help you recover the files from the workshop. Try to get in touch with them!
That really does suck, your work is freaking awesome. I love the attention to detail and Iโve not seen anyone make maps like this, especially with all the custom buildings. Or just making a map set in American as-well. Keep up your Enfusion work!
If you can't figure it out, you should do DC. Not just the White House. I want to either recreate MW2, or Civil War
Yeah that would be awesome. Someone should definitely re-create the battlefield 4/3 maps. I would love to play some gulf of Oman, or firestorm
could a see the in game map?
This was a absolute perfect mapโฆ I would try to make another version of it more advanced bigger sheriffs office bit larger of a town with county houses instead of a vast desert but this map was definitely OG I had my LEO Server and it fit in perfect wish there was a prison and hospital though
Hey I know it's been a while I'm back on a brand new project since I couldn't continue my US project A slightly more European project Even if I plan to do it in several parts It would be a mission you have to eliminate An important personality protected by several guards in a super luxury house The goal in the future would be to redo the White House But as a first version it's a good house to experiment with destructible ๐ฅ walls separate from the building And to be able to test lots of other things In any case here I wanted to share my new project with you 
Oooh sweet!!!
Kinda look like the white House
Looks like what you'd find on an old plantation from the civil war era
To be honest it's a kind of miniature White House And I'm thinking of making several versions of this MAP With difficulty levels And different protection on the building Here are some images of my inspirations
Oh imagine fighting and defending the white House building would be like from COD MW 2 ๐๐๐ (classic COD MW 2 not rebooted)
i hope there's an area that's just commercial slums on a main road, with countless gas stations and fast food joints
Looks like crossvile in Tennessee
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/66052A80AA6CC800-Manoir Here is a first version of the MAP in beta test I will let you report the different problems to me if you send I suspect that the MAP is not very big And I think I will make a bigger version later But I needed a finished product very quickly
I already love it because of the no dependenceโs lol
Looks fire so far, my only gripe is the house would be awsome with a balcony
Thatโs the hardest part when I make my maps because ever I like isnโt in vanilla ๐คฃ
I am very happy to be able to announce that I will be able to resume the development of my most beautiful map I found a solution thanks to some people from the Community And I thank you Only small problem I will have to redo all the land of And surely quite a few other things In any case I will keep you informed of all this @reef pilot
Nah because I love maps with them but every time I download them I scream โ FUCKKKK โ and take a sip of monster and scroll on TikTok for the 30 minutes it takes to download them๐ญ
Did the copy paste idea work?
yes But for now I'm concentrating on the terrain Before copying all the elements onto it I know that in any case it works Will I have to redo all the roads I don't know that Same for the vegetation In any case I think that for the buildings it should perhaps work well
Okay happy to hear that worked a little. Good luck, happy to help any time.
For the moment there are only a few roads which are just disrupted by differences in height on the ground. It will be put back correctly quite quickly.
Hey dude looks great WIP roads and thx for helping https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1396805419925504010 him on his maps โบ๏ธ
I am excited when both of u guys work together and post a map I know it will be great ๐
Amazing man ๐
Nvm I was wrong my bad it was a diff guy
But still great work on the map
Thanks to Mario I was able to regain access to my MAP, he sent it to me by email. I thank him. The project will be able to resume on the right track.
Great news! : )
I'm happy to be able to tell you that there is a first update that has just been released https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/64EB153B8E9A1B8E-mapUSAMeridian
I know your mod says we can use your assets on other maps, but I don't see them listed anywhere except for inside your map. Do you plan to release them separately or do we have to use your map as a dependency?
I don't know yet if I'll have time to take care of that But it's true that it could be cool for you
HELL YEAH!!!
Little Donut Shop ๐ฉ
Omg yes i love this
Just a heads up I'm pretty sure the actual Randy's donuts is trademarked, so I would pick a different name so you don't have any IP issues
Andy's donuts
just have the R fallen off and laying on the ground nearby lol
that falls under parody and would be totally fine to do
you already have Legally distinct Pizza Hut, so this would be an easy one to also parody with very little effort
Homer's Donuts
U know it be so amazing if someone made a working iron man mod
Anyway I'll see how I have time to modify the texture to put a correct name if you have any ideas 
Ah, that's going much better.
You make these yourself?
Yes
They look great! Iโm at my very beginning stages of learning Blender and adobe substance. My goal is doing buildings. I live in USA and want to do buildings and props that are USA.
I must have been able to take all of this on and master it for less than 5 months. With a little motivation, you can achieve anything.
โLast time I trusted someone I lost a eyeโ
Small spoiler I attack a fire station ๐
Fucking fire bro๐ฅ
Police department gonna be next to the donut shop? ๐
Unfortunately they will have a little walk to do to get there. ๐ฉ
@reef pilot I gotta jump on blender
Edit: sorry Dr didnโt realize that was you! I thought was @pearl canopy but what program you use to make the object, and what program you use to texture it?
Substance painter for texturing and blender for modeling and also quite a few blender plugins but I don't have them anymore I'll put you a list as soon as I'm sure I'll have my pc At home I'm in the middle of painting ๐๏ธ๐ซ
Its okay my friend, no rush! But just so you know, it looks like you missed a spot!
What could I have forgotten?

Small telephone booth ๐
Beautiful
Hello everyone I wanted to announce some details about the MAP I want to set up a gold on this MAP And since arma reforger is mainly a war game I want the MAP to take place during a civil war Or a purge style universe or end of the world zombies So I will soon set up abandoned cars on the road And focus the details of the MAP on a slightly more dilapidated style I don't know if you like this idea If you don't like it I will take your comments into account To try to offer a version of the MAP without these details 
Sounds interesting ๐ค
OU would be amazing if thereโs a secret military base with lab equipment๐๐๐๐
Oooh sweet!! It be like the walking dead vibes
I like it, i dunno if it's too much of a problem to do, but two versions would be cool, a more standard version of the map, and then the more post apocalyptic style map?
That would be cool
I admit that was a bit of the inspiration I had in mind
Awesome! I be looking forward to seeing the finished map!
I allowed myself to buy new models on Fab To decorate the airport And also the rails And I also bought American traffic signs I bought from this artist there https://www.fab.com/sellers/Renafox
Beautiful
this is exactly what ive been looking for in a map, USA and warr torn
**Minor MAP Update **
Traffic Signs Added
Airfield Improvements
Zombie Version Added (Under Development)
Probably far fetched but it would be awsome if you added suburban neighborhoods and a sheriff station out in the areas whereโs itโs just desert
@pearl canopy thanks for using my old LEO RP Server picture on your mod i that's awesome
I'm trying to work on a life version but the systems seem to be complicated to set up and I think your photos were really magnificent
Update
- Added a mechanic's garage
- Added a hospital in Meridian
- Improved wildlife and vegetation
- Added spawn points for road barricades and spawn points for bases
I was wondering why Everon life is a dependency?
I added palm trees to the map ๐ด
Appreciate it Pierre we worked with what we had not much for Leo stuff but we tried our best your map is the best USA map out there for roleplay by far!
Thank you very much, it's really nice, it motivates us more and more to continue this project.
Yeah Iโll most likely attempt to give it another try eventually with new mods being made etc we can actually do more stuff
Iโm really happy to announce that in the upcoming updates youโll get the finished Trailer Park. I managed to create several versions of the same mobile home with different colors and assets to keep everything optimized.
Looks like my old home lmao
I gleefully await the day when you release all your cool buildings as an extra mod. Can't wait on starting an USA map myself ๐
For now, Iโve repurposed the police station from the other city as a temporary hospital in Meridian, until I have time to create a proper custom building. Could you tell me which fence needs reinforcement, and where exactly ?
Love it man keep up the great work btw let me know when u want me to showcase your mod again โบ๏ธ
Well, I'm going to work again on a life version for the servers and later improve my zombie version so that it looks a bit like DZ. In any case, thank you very much.
I just added this little detail, I don't know what you think about it Gulf of Mexico / Gulf of America
I also worked on a set of small swamp-style lakes Since I learned that there was this in Texas in a report On HBO It's about forest rangers I recommend it It seems that it's called Texas law Anyway, it will please our fishing friends
https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0RH4PV38TTEWZGUU8K36593FB9/ref=atv_dp_season_select_s1
And I'm also happy to announce that I finally fixed the card issue. I know it was an annoying problem.
Yes, not long ago Donald Trump renamed it. It's a funny little reference. Afterwards, I don't want to get involved in politics. But I found it a little funny.
Yes, the city is not finished at all and it is a map that will evolve over time since it is a long-term project.
I prefer America more but I like both
How so
Well, let's say it's going to be complicated. After all, it depends on the area where you want to place your structure.
The map looks good man, are there plans to add building destruction?
In the future it will be done I had already tried on a small part of the gas station But for the moment I still have more important things to work on I try to proceed in stages And order of priority
I'm sorry I didn't really understand what you wanted to do On the MAP there are several places with completely flat areas if you want to place structures But otherwise I really don't know what you want
New Update
๐ Added a swamp, inspired by a fishing lake
๐บ๏ธ Map fixes and adjustments
๐ Added new location names on the map
Oooo
@pearl canopy Sent you a dm for a question my friend if you have time, and thank you for amazing map ๐ฏ
Gulf of Mexico should be in spanish ๐
I didn't know, I saw that it was written like that on Google 
it was a joke ๐
Are there any RP servers currently running this map?
no
Alr ty
Even though I would like there to be RP servers on my MAP Unfortunately I don't know how to set up the Life systems If there is someone who knows about it and who could help me I would be really keen to set this up so that servers can be placed on my map
New Update
๐๏ธ Added a new small village: City Trash
๐ฑ Improved vegetation
๐ Added new location names on the map
Have you thought about looking into adding oil wells to the map? I think a couple oil wells would look nice scattered around in the red circle area.
Oil well right next to residential areas?
I mean these kinds, not the bigger ones. Got a couple of them just outside my town so I don't think it's much of a stretch for them to be relatively close to towns.
I donโt know, Iโm not American. Imagined that they would plummet the air quality
Thanks anyway for the idea I'll see what I can do I had already tried to put some in but it was complicated in terms of animation
depends where you live, like next to a field stretching for miles thats just packed full of them then maybe, im no expert though. its also pretty unlikely that you will live within 50 miles of the oil fields.
A buc-ees would be sick
It's normal but it's just that I didn't have time to finish this area
I'm looking at this
That's a very good idea. I'll think about it.
I've already started working on a little thing and it's starting to look pretty good. Very good idea, thank you.
It's already done
I put up a fence with barbed wire, but I don't think I'll put up a concrete wall, it'll look too Soviet. We're in the United States.
On the lampposts it's an artistic choice to put them like that. Personally I find it prettier.
The capitalist, enthroned in all his splendor.
County jail or prison just an idea Pierre we fill that little jail quick ๐
Ooh dam ๐๐
Small fix that should be out today I added quite a few new details I put in quite a few small pipes And I replaced the street lights I had put in the wrong ones What I had put in didn't light up 
I started working on a farm and I'm thinking of modeling a farmer's house and a silo ๐พ
There will be a coal mine soon But I'm waiting for the new map to come out To use the new buildings and new decorations After seeing what it looks like
I start working on a gun shop 
Sorry it's not from the depth of the water It's most likely from the height It doesn't take much to die from a fall
I'll look at this later, I'm busy with a gun store.
There is already a wild shooting range on the MAP But the shop is too small to be able to put a shooting range
Most people like to shoot outdoors ive been shooting irl 20+ years never really liked shooting indoors thatโs only for bit city people who donโt have the option to go outdoors this is a small town map donโt think Iโd fit the criteria for it
You are a 3d modeling machine, I swear every time I look at this thread thereโs several new models you made! Itโs looking awesome! Happy you got it recovered!
New Update
๐ฌ Added new shops
๐พ Added a grain silo
๐ Added a farm
๐ Bug fixes
๐ฑ Improved vegetation around the farm and the dam
๐ก Added streetlights in Costa City
๐ฅ๏ธ Added new props such as computers and decorative items for the Gun Shop
Coming soon to the clothing store
\
Iโm thinking we need for the main town
a bar
A grill / steak house
A diner
A cafe
A bank / savings and loan
A hairdressers
A bus station
A hospital
An antiques shop
A pawn shop
Two clothes stores
A fast food place
A large scrap yard
A gas station
A small homeless camp
A fire station
What should be done soon I left ticked โ

Oh man, I can't stand multi-story buildings anymore.
I will finally be able to tackle the texture after a whole afternoon
Your doing insane work
Looks great
Fire stuff
New Update
๐ Added a clothing store
๐บ Added a bar & restaurant
๐ Added a hair salon (still under development)
๐ Added a garden shed
๐ก Improved the gazebo
๐ช Added new props such as decorative mannequins and office desks
๐ Improved the police station in Costa City
๐จ Improved the motel in Costa City
What clothing mod would people recommend for this map?
for modern RP/Arma Life?
Both answers would be appreciated!
That depends what kind of server using it
Rp server best would be civilian clothes in majority and a couple gear for enforcer, military and criminals
Civilian clothes for sure. Life
MEP civil
Reloadz law enforcement uniform
And I think thereโs one called civilians expanded
VKNG clothing is good too, adds a couple shoes, jeans, flannels n jackets
And here is a new building, a small bank. ๐ฐ

Me going to rob it after moving from Los Santos lmao
If you're interested, I'm working on a Life version of the MAP. https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/665778C4C6880448-map_Meridian_life
There are points of sale that work with Shop system and an end and thirst system There is also an apple farm where you can pick the apples and then resell them
A little something new after a short break: A sign to indicate the apple farm
Small Costa City sign
I worked on a new logo for the MAP I think it was not crazy crazy The thing done with AI I also redid all the photos Of presentation of the MAP
I also redid the photo of the Life version. It was really ugly.
Got nothing to report just wanna say this map is turning out amazing, looks like a proper American Small town only thing missing is dollar general around every corner lmao, but looks amazing and that tease of a county jail is gonna be amazing
Just wondering, would there be a huge shopping mall? O.o
Like typical huge shopping mall that trying to rival small towns businesses to putting them out of business types
oh yes i never have seen a map with something like this, it would be cool
Agreed!! ๐
maybe later when i'm done but main projects in the map the prison and the second city
I would like to make a small announcement. I am very happy to be able to announce to you that the Life mode has progressed very well on the map thanks to a person I don't know how to thank him @wicked knoll
Anytime you already know 
I absolutely love the state house, I used the grimdark mods of imperial guards vs chaos guards and it was fun
New update,
Road improvements
Life mode fix
Vegetation improvements
Small bridge improvement
Love it man
Itโs amazing youโre doing the map and all these buildings and props yourself. Every time I come here itโs something new and it looks good!
Here is my Buildings and Props pack. https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/66669CDF8CD9C56A-Assets_Meridian
Thank you very much, that's really kind. It's true that lately, I've been spending perhaps a little too much time on dev.
No such things as too much time spent on Arma lol.
Map looks amazing dude, seriously, spectacular work. And extra awesome to publish an asset pack!
Haha. Iโm on day 3 of just blender and workbench almost all day. But back to normal work routine next week. Iโm at 1,700 hours in workbench. About 600 of that was messing around with scenarios. And some of overall time is when I forgot to close workbench and wasnโt on it.
Awesome!!! Thatโs great your releasing as own mod for people that use. That is what Iโd like to be able to do as well.
Afterwards, I did it mainly to optimize my map in terms of weight; it allows me to publish updates more easily.
That is very smart. I did that with custom textures. No need to make map size bigger and have that extra size just for textures.
Let's go and wave a little magic wand on the 2nd bridge 
looks amazing
I'm done. Afterwards, I think there might be some improvements.
Love the map, especially the trailer parks, gonna have fun pvp there
Hello everyone I wanted to thank the fof server for giving you a mission on my project It gave incredible images
What server is this it looks sick
they only did that for a basic event they only make conflict but it's a French server I noticed that yesterday when I looked at the servers that used my map
Small creation of a dungaree
Ohhh okay neat
Little problem aaaaaaaaaaaaaa 
Lmao ๐คฃ but fr I can help if u want
I don't know how to make the character keep his skin under the overalls. I took the helicopter pilot outfit as a basis.
Look at dms
whats the sheriff office groups name?
You making a clothing pack for your next project ?
I tried new things that I quite like
You should totally make some decent tactical police sheriff vests haha be nice to not have to use RHS for everything
I prefer to announce it right away if there will be no dependency with my clothing style For weight optimization I plan to make quite a few American police outfits. In addition, I am very happy to be able to show you this result that I worked on it quite a bit. To add t-shirts to the overalls It's still more respectful And it looks less like a country bumpkin
I'm going to work on a fairly basic first sheriff outfit
Iโd say make the clothing into different sections
Pants (Pants slot)
Top ( shirt slot)
Plate carrier (Armored vest slot)
Duty belt (Vest slot)
Hat (helmet slot)
That way you can make a couple different versions and have people mix n match
Dude this is fucking amazing thx for showing of US small town style
If someone could just make a dog mod itโd be an awesome rp touch
I'm happy, I even managed to join the swimming pool
Let's goooo the best feature in the game
Looking beautiful pierre wish we had someone make those uniforms when I had my server
This is the most goated sheriffs outfit of all time in my opinion haha
I will think about it
There you have a few more pictures from the event on the map
Here are some new features of Life mode that I am developing. I was inspired by another Life mode. https://youtu.be/ze1w7OAdI50
Check your addons folder if thereโs a folder named what the map is, if so delete it and try again
Yeah itโs not looking good. I appreciate your help though sir.
wow these new Arma Reforger Outfits look great ๐
Is there going to be a base map without the life addons? Or the apocalypse style-like one still getting released?
Looks like gta 5
Ummmm whoโs gonna tell him?
I know lol I am just stating the obvious
I started working on vehicles for my MAP and I will soon be making a tow truck and an ambulance
And to be honest with you, I didn't design the car. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/illinois-90-low-poly-model-d604871eee5b4181bb298163b0b675b7
Model of an American sedan of the 90s in a police package. The design is inspired not only by famous police cruisers of the 90s, but also by cab-forward designs, to give a more European appearance to the body.
I unconditionally give you permission to use this model at your discretion, modify it or implement it into a digital product. Use the mo...
Ooh nice nice
90s model cars would be lit thooo
Australian cars would be cool too!
My thoughts went immediately to the newer Chevy caprice (few years old now) that I used to drive. It was a fleet vehicle. Pretty fast and handled good, but I heard they were super expensive to maintain because the parts came from Australia.
Damn that sucks mate ๐
I like this design, I did something similar for Task City
Awesome
I still find it incredible even if it's starting to date
I also started working on a collection of caps
And here is a prisoner's outfit
Howโs the sheriff outfit coming along
I think I'm going to redo it from scratch, I don't like the result
Any chance you make a sheriff car out the model you used for the ems car?
Would be cool to have a 90s model cop car
Yes
I had already thought about it
Needs some bumper stickers ๐ฅ
But fire stuff, i wish reloadz would animate the vehicle tho
I plead guilty, I don't plan on animating my vehicles too much to be honest ๐
Oh that nice house
Awesome!!
Are you gonna bring back the OG GM map without the dependencies for the RP server? As it was alot of fun just messing around in private GM
I plan to do it very soon
Thank god!! Thank you man
it's a shame the carpack got removed :/
Which one is the parking lot?
??
hello, with 1.6 are you still releasing a GM map? NVM I see you did earlier this month, nice and thank you!
He was talking about the mod you made with the cars in, it got removed from the workshop i believe
I removed it because I'm stopping development of this mod; I'm focusing on other projects.
yeah man I understand but keep in mind that someone may be using the assets in his gamemode and removing it may break it, if you stop developing just don't update it anymore unless some arma update breaks it
don't remove it... you may cause damage to some servers
Its up to him what he adds or keeps or removes, if he doesnโt want it up because hes not happy with it then fair enough, people can just update the game mode dependancy
Of course it is his decision but itโs not anymore like A3 in which I can take the pbo and just use it in another mod. Here the content is just lost
Any update to the game master version?
Itโs up!!!
Ah gotcha. For some reason I canโt download the assets
Hmmm unless something changed as I installed recently
Ah I see
Ooh I wanna check it out!
is this project being removed? Assets_Meridian is no longer downloading from workshop
Is there a problem with the Workshop?
This has been removed from the workshop. I'm curious if the owner is going to republish since our server currently uses this asset mod.
I have heard no but dont quote me
Another DEV of ours reached out to him earlier and haven't received a response yet.
Somebody i know got the answer I said, but who knows.
Does he have a Discord?
Not that I know of
Bet those DM's are being lit up right now though lol
Hello, I'm taking the liberty of answering all your questions. I removed my mod because it was pointed out to me that a GTA logo was used in it, and because I stopped development on this project due to poor foundations from the very beginning. If I wanted to optimize it further, I would have to rebuild it from scratch. I made the decision to remove the workshop. If my decision is a real problem and you really need the buildings or the map, I'm willing to provide you with the files. But I warn you, they are not optimized in terms of file size, which is why my map is so large. @rapid surge @quartz roost Once again, sorry for the inconvenience. And Happy New Year!
For sure dude, I understand, we're just trying to get our server back up since this was a staple of our map and RP server.
If it was a simple issue of retexturing the one building it would be grand, but we'll have to reassess all the other outcomes due to this over the next coming days. Hate that it had to be removed.
