Good luck with your project. Make sure you back it up as you go.

wary idol

thanks! will do.
wary idol
yes, same size as the current Anizay map.
goodluck letting console players run it. Anizay is 10x10 though?

thought it was 15x15, i may be thinking of Takistan though.

Takistan isn't 15x15 either. I'm going to type the replies in one message so I don't have to wait 30 seconds in between. A good pvp map is 8x8 to 10x10 if it's all land. If it's an island sure 16x16, but a full land mass of 16x16 is insanity if you want consistant fun gameplay without 25-40 minutes walks of boredom

this will be used on our PVE server mainly so that's our top priority as of now.

Alot of good pvp maps are way bigger then 8x8. Coming from the old resident conflict guy here

the bigger the better.
the worst and best part of playing a map is learning the whole map, good because you know your way around, bad because you never get that fresh feeling of playing something new. So i will always stand by bigger maps being better.

I could test it on a server I co-own (I'm on PS5) Xbox may have issues, but PS5 should be able to run it with an FPS drop while loading sections of the map quickly.
It should be "technically" similar to the performance of gulfcoast Islands which is 15.3x15.3 total
west hound
i cannot say how stable this will be on console as of now, however if you wanted to run tests that would be amazing.
swift crane
I'll check it when it gets done downloading (My download is 800 Kbps) should take a minute, but i'll get back to you to see if it runs ok when it does.
west hound
this could be awhile i warn but we will try our best.
swift crane
It's fine don't worry. I've got nothing but time to fill.
swift crane
My recommendation to maintain peformance is to use a lot of decrepit buildings with small sections of props (Or none) to decrease total overall assets to render in a large concentrated area. If possible that is
west hound
90% of the map is ruins so your in luck.
swift crane
That aint that bad size wise for such a large area, I've been on Fallujah before with my unit (Like 4.5 ish GB might have been 5)

Mostly based of 2003 grozny
swift crane
I'd keep the majority of it the low effort empty ruins, and add priority buildings (landmarks or highrise positions heavily defended) to keep strategic points/Poi's that are "preserved" or "Well Defended" for conflict.
Most of it is desolate anyway 😂

exactly what i was going for as well
so works out perfectly
swift crane
it's about halfway done downloading, but for some reason Grozny itself takes a decade, and decreases my download speed for whatever reason.
round magnet
the presidential palace I'm trying to remake atm. Just a rough shot without the circle
swift crane
Non kaboomed version
swift crane
Well, i can confirm that it works when starting the server. Still gotta wait for the main mod to finish being downloaded after it nuked my download speed to 84 Kbps

How strict are people with adding in bodies?
swift crane
It does work on PS5, performance isn't really awful, and runs as expected, only lagging when loading sections of the large populated buildings. Does lag in highly contrated areas though, but that can be worked on way later down the line when it's not mostly satelite imagery.

I think this is the old Grozny as our one is not currently up.
swift crane
oh is it? No one told me 😂
It had a similar download size so my brain assumed it was the right one

Is there a link for the map?

It's currently still WIP and not in the workshop. I'm working on it solo so it'll take some time, but I'll keep posting my progress in here
Current map size is 10x10 now

Ok

Currently working on the grid layout on the left
