Announcing PROJECT FRANCE mod (WIP)

[subtle gazelle]

Hi everyone,

We're extremely excited to announce PROJECT FRANCE mod! This mod aims at reproducing part of the western suburbs of Paris to scale, starting with Bougival, and we want to expand to even more towns nearby. We've been working to achieve this goal for quite a while now. However, this is still a WIP.

We've created a lot of French-and-90's-themed content : car models thanks to Diegus (he makes some really great stuff), over 1000 unique buildings, iconic areas to explore, posters, and more. And here is the announcement trailer for the project:

[clever stump]

just wanted to let you know you spelt PROJECT wrong

but other than that, it looks awesome

[subtle gazelle]

ah thanks it's better now

[clever stump]

honestly the trailer looks aweosme

[quasi flint]

looks super cool

[serene night]

project is projet in French, he might be using french

[clever stump]

ahh cheers

[wraith geode]

finally. an actual horror map

[rotund burrow]

@ebon stone go ahead

[ebon stone]

wassup

[tired zodiac]

this looks really good, good luck

[rotund burrow]

give me detailed floor plans of your humble aboad

[iron valve]

Projet is project in french

[tranquil totem]

looks insane

[formal nimbus]

Add Eiffel Tower‼️‼️❗️‼️‼️❗️‼️❗️

[arctic fulcrum]

looks juicy, is it stand-alone map? or in KY?

[rotund burrow]

dude theyre making FRANCE

[subtle gazelle]

Yes standalone

[subtle gazelle]

Thanks man

[clever stump]

This is great stuff! keep up the good work!
You have inspired me to continue my UK map now, thanks!

[serene night]

Bon courage pour la mape

[clever stump]

this is sick

[clever stump]

I'm so exited! But the real question is will we get an update with catacombs when b42 comes out?

[clever stump]

true

[formal nimbus]

This

[remote walrus]

Im curious, will this have a matching car/weapon pack for French items in '93?

[subtle gazelle]

Yes!

[remote walrus]

Sounds absolutely fire, I’ve only seen like one other map do that (Project Russia)

[subtle gazelle]

For now atleast there will be a car and a true music addon

[remote walrus]

Starting off small is a good start for custom stuff

[subtle gazelle]

Yeah this will be organized like Project Russia more or less

[remote walrus]

Interesting choice for a true music one though

[subtle gazelle]

Custom tiles will be part of the map itself

[remote walrus]

W

Is there a planned size for the map?

Or is it a “I finished it in this size so it’s X KMs big”

[subtle gazelle]

Not really

Rn there are 42 cells

But more are coming for sure

[remote walrus]

I have some questions but after scrolling up they got answered

Don’t want to repeat the same things

[subtle gazelle]

No worries man you can ask all the questions you want

[calm bluff]

Looks sick

[mystic pelican]

holy gyatt this is so amazing ❤️❤️❤️

pls not have a paid online map with cherbourg 🤮🤮

[subtle gazelle]

Why would I do that ? When you’ll subscribe to the map on the Workshop you’ll be able to host your own servers on it

[tacit mango]

this might be a dumb question but will all the buildings have fully decorated interiors? Looks absolutely insane though, can't wait to see it!

[torn seal]

Is this a Daryl Dixon reference?

[mystic pelican]

w

[subtle gazelle]

Yes!

[subtle gazelle]

Each one has its own layout, and is furnished with unique french props

[ebon stone]

instead of louisville give us Renne or fuck it a whole redntion of bretagne

[subtle gazelle]

We’ll mainly focus on the Yvelines region

[ebon stone]

i meant it as a joke haha, so i'm guessing there's gonan be somle part of paris in it ?

[leaden musk]

Wow now I can be like daryl from the daryl dixon show

Gonna be doing a crossbow only playthrough on this map

[subtle gazelle]

I want to make some of challenge scenario where you need to survive in large flat in central Paris like in The Night Eats the World movie. However I don’t think this will release in the first version of the mod

[tacit mango]

wow man that sounds super sick

[brazen marlin]

🇫🇷👎

[halcyon drum]

With the power of basements it'd be awesome to go through zombie hell in the catacombs ^^

Also I assume the region's gotta have at least one medieval castle, right?

[distant temple]

That looks genuinely amazing

Can’t wait to play it

[subtle gazelle]

Most of the castle in the region are mostly classical or neo classical. But there is still a huge range of castle built in different centuries

This one was built during the Middle Ages then renovated during the classical period with a roof added

[subtle gazelle]

Bougival is also known for having catacombs under the town 🙂

All major buildings are depicted from real ones

Since the towns are closed to Versailles, there have been a lot of classical dwellings and castles built in the classical era. Like this one

[viscid panther]

b42 smell

https://tenor.com/view/xrd-exrd-crypto-btc-eth-gif-23801255

[subtle gazelle]

The western suburbs of Paris is generally the most wealthy part of the parisian region. That came from the fact that it was far enough from factories generally located in the East. Therefore, it attracted wealthy individuals at the time for its clean air and luxurious rural landscape. On that note, the region is also well known for its numerous impressionist painters such Alfred Sisley, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissaro that inhabited the region and painted it. That contributed to attract even more wealthy individuals. Some of these people built huge mansions like these ones. So the map has also a lot of post-industrial and Belle Époque castles 🙌

[viscid panther]

I hope you remade some Claude Monet paintings in PZ 👀

[subtle gazelle]

We do have some. Though, we probably have more Alfred Sisley ones. He really painted every Bougival and Louveciennes corners

[viscid panther]

Nice

[clever stump]

Wow, I accidentally educated myself in discord

[tranquil totem]

Can't wait to play on this map

[halcyon drum]

Nothing an submod from someone less intent on doing an exact recreation won't solve ^^

It's all superbe! Great work!

[subtle gazelle]

Wdym?

[halcyon drum]

Just saying that I respect you're accurately making things as close to the real region as possible, but when you release I'm totally going to make a submod adding a medieval castle / museum somewhere off in a corner 😅

[nova shard]

any haitian references??

[clever stump]

this looks so awesome

[subtle gazelle]

We have some outremer islands posters, that’s probably the only thing I can think of

[serene night]

xd

[calm bluff]

Any updates ?

[subtle gazelle]

You can come on the discord, I can’t give it here, you’ll see building and mapping updates every day

[calm bluff]

Alr

[subtle gazelle]

The link is in the YT video description

[clever stump]

It doesn't work anymore

The invitation link was limited in time

[subtle gazelle]

Aight

https://youtu.be/rym5aTzFUmM?si=dXzZToyr-7GFOmT-

It should work now

[mystic pelican]

when release 😭

[serene night]

Test

[subtle gazelle]

[rugged star]

I'm boutta do a 28 weeks later challenge with this one

[cosmic summit]

This mod would be so cool to use on a pvp server

[tranquil totem]

any updates?

[serene night]

Baguettes run out

[subtle gazelle]

Join the discord you’ll see updates every day

Can provide a link here

It’s on the trailer description

[calm bluff]

How far along is the project?

[subtle gazelle]

Hard to say, we’ve made good progress thus far though

[broken kernel]

I haven't played in a couple months but last time I played I can say that, the main city is mostly playable, but alot of the outer areas are unfinished meaning although very pretty they don't have proper loot spawns or foraging zones

But I really like the way it's coming along visually so far it's beutifull

[calm bluff]

Alright

Thank you

[cosmic summit]

wheres the discord for it?

[cosmic summit]

is it on Steam?

[subtle gazelle]

Hey, I can’t provide link here for some reason uknown

There is a discord where you can see the progress

You can check the Youtube Channel called project france

I’ve made also a Patreon where you are able to play it in pre alpha

It is playable but we are still far from being finished. We try to make every building unique so it takes a long time to make, but it’s really worth it

heyyyyy my bad guys I haven't played the map i got it confused with the Cherbourg map, lmao

[subtle gazelle]

Update:

[pine charm]

Cannot wait to play looks like many good base areas

[dusty quiver]

so sick

[serene night]

👆 We are increasing our ram allocation with this one 👆

😂

[viscid panther]

uh

[viscid panther]

idk why you'd have to do that

That map is small

[serene night]

Oh ok

Nvm then

[viscid panther]

You can clearly see it's small

[serene night]

I wouldn't say small but ok

[tacit mango]

it might be small but it looks pretty compact and intricate within a small section

[viscid panther]

My point was that it's not big enough to make you unable to run the map -_-

If you can run KY then you can run that map ez

[serene night]

Yeah it was just my trauma from running this beautiful nightmare

[tacit mango]

ohhhh my bad

[charred gulch]

Will we be alivibe to hit zombies with baguettes?

🥖

[subtle gazelle]

That would be fun

[viscid panther]

Not even hard to do lmao

[rich owl]

When will the map come out? I already want to test it

[white silo]

very excited for this map! fantastic work so far

[subtle gazelle]

On the patreon, you can have try the map in early access

[ionic widget]

Really ?

[viscid panther]

wdym fucking really ????

"On the Patreon"

Support the project with money and you can have early access to the map is basically what he means

[ebon stone]

he was just asking lol, why so agressif

[distant temple]

Will the french be added?

[ebon stone]

yes the french be added

[distant temple]

[subtle gazelle]

This week’s progress

[pulsar onyx]

fantastic work my friend

[subtle gazelle]

Thank you 🙏

[tired zodiac]

looks awesome, hope i get to play this when the b42 comes out

[white silo]

Looks great!

[sterile vault]

🇫🇷🇫🇷 I will finally be able to recognise some places! It looks incredible, but I am so afraid of zombie population. If it is realistic, it’s going to be crazy!

[ebon stone]

Paris oh Paris, on t'attend impatiamment

[thorny magnet]

VIVE LA FRANCE

but where is my beloved notre dame?

[viscid panther]

He's not creating Paris rn

He's recreating another smaller city next to Paris

[thorny magnet]

NOOOO

My Paris

[viscid panther]

The city is recreating is already quite dense, and believe me Paris is 100 times more dense

Gl recreating such a dense city

It already takes ages to do a map, now imagine having to put as much detail as he's doing rn but for 10 floors

[subtle gazelle]

The project will mainly focus on the Yvelines region which is the western region of Paris. It is more achievable for us and closer to PZ's gameplay. We do have some small surprises though

[charred gulch]

[river oxide]

moneh

he needs moneh arthor

[tulip wing]

Project france? So like france in its normal state

[viscid panther]

Uh ?

[river oxide]

i think he was trying to make a joke about how france is awful and shit

[viscid panther]

It's not

[river oxide]

sorry, paris.

also that was him, not me who made the joke lol

[tulip wing]

Stage 1 denial

[viscid panther]

Do you live in France ?

Embed failure

[subtle gazelle]

I prefer to live in France than anywhere else in the world

And I’ve traveled to almost every country

There’s so many things that you can’t replace : the food, the architecture, the way of living

👀

[river oxide]

rich... 😔

[river oxide]

off with my head?

[ebon stone]

i love how this thread is just the author posting prigress

progress*

and then just people posting french stereotypes

[viscid panther]

Classic

[ebon stone]

c'est la guerre ou jcp ce qu'ils disent

[subtle gazelle]

Some mapping progress

[remote vector]

Wow

[ebon stone]

I wonder if we'll have a special macron zombie

[subtle gazelle]

You can probably find a Mitterand one according to time period

[calm bluff]

I can't tell if this is almost done or not lol, it looks great

[deep lotus]

build 42 gonna be crazy on this one

[subtle gazelle]

Today’s work

[short cipher]

😍

[subtle gazelle]

By the way, we have a custom menu and music

[deep lotus]

thats awesome

[worthy elbow]

Keep up the good work!

[clever stump]

Bruh, an AI art again

Map looks good though

[viscid panther]

Looks amazing

[river oxide]

more ai slop

[viscid panther]

Then give him money so he can commission an artist

While AI is not great, you have to remember modders do not get paid for the amount of work they put on their mod

I've put easily 20 hours per weeks and up to 50 hours, or even more sometimes, for the past 10 months and I have received at best 100€ from it, from generous donators (when I've never asked for money)

Let's say I'm at a mean 30 hours / week, that's 4.3 hours / days out of 10 months * 30 days = 300 days which equals to 1300 hours put into just modding

Since the start of the year

And there's a looooot of modders in the same situation, sometimes a little bit less, sometimes a lot more

I got paid 0.07€/hours for my modding

You can't just judge us modders for using AI, then not help us for the costs of modding lmao

[north adder]

Exactly, some people believe that everything is due to them. While not being an ai art "supporter", this is not a commercial use and everybody is happy when a nice mod comes out

[viscid panther]

Yeah

[river oxide]

I thought he had a patreon?

If the MC doesnt have patreon, then i take back what i said

if he has a patreon, then i stick with what i say.

[deep lotus]

Good art is not cheap.

Just because someone has a patreon also doesn't automatically mean it gives enough income. Most of it could be going towards real life expenses; So the modder in question can actually find the time to keep working on the mod

It's not all black and white

[viscid panther]

Doesn't mean he gets money lmao

[viscid panther]

Exactly

[finite carbon]

What about you bring something to the community

[viscid panther]

It's always about the modder doing this or that, and never about YOU guys don't something

[finite carbon]

Oxygen takers and not givers smh

[calm bluff]

I think it's fine. It's community made and they might not have the cash, even though I'm normally very anti AI

[viscid panther]

I'm in an in-between, where AI is amazing as a tool, which needs to be properly used

[ebon stone]

its fine guys, it's not the end of the world, cut them some slack it's not the end of the world if they used ai

[calm bluff]

Honestly it didn't look Ai, I think it looks neat

[viscid panther]

Yeah I looked at the detail, there's maybe one or two things that point towards it for sure, but there's also quite a bunch of detail

[deep lotus]

I didnt know it was AI until someone said it

Havent seen that aesthetic from AIs yet

[river oxide]

you guys? ive been modding for a long time now. also... I thought this project was being FUNDED by patreon, not as a donation, my bad.

[subtle gazelle]

Yes, we have a Patreon, and it's not to fund me. I am not here to have a salary with modding. However we pay 3d modelers to make cars for us because we don't have the knowledge or the time to learn it. 3D modeling is very very expensing, every donations helps us make more cars, and therefore helps the project. We also want others artists to join. Some join us as volunteers but without any experience. Our goal also is to deliver on quality, so we also target artists who already know the how, but that's costly (about 100$ for every assets)

This is the latest use of the donations we received : the Renault Espace

By donating, you can also try the mod before it becomes public

You have also some decision power for the production of the next car

What's currently decided is the Citroen C15

It's a volunteer job, but I won't whine because I'm not paid a penny, I do this work because I'm passionate and I want to have things done

[subtle gazelle]

It's been a year since we worked on this project, and it wasn't easy. Some burnouts happen unfortunately and my friend who is also the other owner actually hurt his hands tendons and his back by clicking too much and sitting all day doing this, so he had to stop for months. Fortunately, we got so much help from more than 20 volunteers, even some who were not familiar to modding to begin with, and I couldn't thank them enough for this. If it was for money I wouldn't be here, I'm a Human Ressources man to begin with (no one is perfect)

I can honestly tell you will have something really fun in your hands hopefully soon !

For the custom menu, it's based on ai, and edited after this. It's a preview, not final. It's an indication of what's the mood I want to achieve with the menu

[calm bluff]

awesome project nonetheless, I'm always happy to see a new post and will be excited to play

[drifting dagger]

Cant wait to set it on fire in true french fashion

[deep lotus]

gee, this is awesome

[viscid panther]

I recognize my country right there

[ebon stone]

im from angers so i cant really recognize much here lol shame

[subtle gazelle]

J’adore Angers

[ebon stone]

Moi aussi, je préfère par rapport à paris j'aime pas trop les grandes ville, me font peur mdr

[hallow inlet]

Will you be including Notre Dame in this map?

[viscid panther]

The map is not in Paris

It's outside of it

So no

[subtle gazelle]

The three constraints of any project management : time, ressources, scope

[untold cedar]

pure ART

[subtle gazelle]

Time : we don't have 15 years to spend to make Paris and we want to release Project France in the near future, so impossible
Ressources : At its fullest we're only a team of 20 people
Scope : more than 150 000 unique buildings with 8-10 floors which is impossible to do

However, as I said we have some few surprise

🤔

[calm bluff]

Is this underground?

[subtle gazelle]

yes

[calm bluff]

How did you do that?

Pics in the server look insane btw

[subtle gazelle]

Does someone recognize this place?

[calm bluff]

Metro

[subtle gazelle]

hint : it's in Paris

[calm bluff]

Paris; Metro

[subtle gazelle]

but which one?

[viscid panther]

It's just a map, on ground level

Nothing fancy here, people have been doing that for ages now

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2886744242&searchtext=metro

[hallow inlet]

Hot damn

As another quick question, how large is this map compared to say Louisville? I think I saw ‘42 cells’ somewhere?

[viscid panther]

no idea

[subtle gazelle]

There is currently 135 cells

[calm bluff]

Can you give us a estimate on how much you guys have done?

[subtle gazelle]

70% maybe for a first version

[calm bluff]

First version? Are you guys gonan redo stuff?

[subtle gazelle]

I meant we are 70% closed to release a first version for the public

[calm bluff]

Oh

[subtle gazelle]

b42 conversion and additional mechanics might delay it a bit

[subtle gazelle]

there are more unique buildings than Louisville

we have double

[deep lotus]

Wow

Whats the planned total size for the map??

In relation to zomboid's map*

[ebon stone]

Imagine adding guns that are authentic to what the french police use

[deep lotus]

Baguette blasters

[short cipher]

20 people is actually a pretty big team! Is it a side project for everyone or some of you are full time?

[deep lotus]

I assume not everyone is working all the time though

So it might just be a handful of people who do big chunks of the work

Would make sense

[gusty hawk]

we getting fuckin' trampled with this one 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[river oxide]

imagine the catacombs in this mod

ik its in paris but the catacombs are neat

[subtle gazelle]

there are catacombs in Bougival

In Louveciennes there are some underground caves digged by wild mushrooms, "champignonières"

[gusty hawk]

yooo it'd be cool if there was, like, an attempted evac point at the
police municipale bougival or whatever it is, with a large horde because crowded,,,

[subtle gazelle]

This is the HQ of the police nationale in the western suburbs, there might be some cool scenarios that could happen there

[gusty hawk]

woooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also is it a near replica, like most of it is based off of actual layout?

[subtle gazelle]

It's difficult to find the correct layout, civilians cannot enter it. But the outside is somewhat like that

The entire map is based on irl

There is some huge work of archiving in every we make

Looking at how things functioned and were in 1993

[gusty hawk]

sounds cool, also on the 1993 part could i possibly contribute a bit to that? i have never made zomboid maps, and probably never will, but i like digging into random stuff

[subtle gazelle]

[subtle gazelle]

yes I'm hiring

do you speak French btw?

[gusty hawk]

i dont, so im prolly automatically dashed off the hiring options- even then, i dont wanna exactly be 'hired'

i just wanna

look at random documents from the time period and try to find layouts, tech

roadway

how this and that looked

[subtle gazelle]

There is so much to dig which is quite fascinating, some dark stories, interesting abandoned buildings

[gusty hawk]

oh hell yeah

but yeah i mean, just ask about something and i'll spend tomorrow looking into it when i have freetime from schoolwork

which is somehow often

[subtle gazelle]

we have a channel in our discord for interesting areas to dig

I'll give you some examples

There was a NATO base until 1967, but the buildings were only destroyed until 2005-2010. It was bought for some time by BULL, an IT company. There is currently huge discussion around it, which building is which? what purpose did it served? Can there be some PZ lore elements attached to it for our map?

[gusty hawk]

alright i'll look into it and just write a ton of random notes, then organize them and paste them here

i'll try and figure out what is what

though considering its been around 10 years on the internet and its still debated, i may not get perfection

but hey looks cool

i can give it my best shot

[subtle gazelle]

Another subject that is also quite fascinating. There are more than 15 "châteaux" in the areas. All of them have some crazy dark stories. The more you dig, the more you want to dig

In 1993, almost half of them were abandonned

[gusty hawk]

could you give me coordinates for this, or an area?

[gusty hawk]

looks haunted

Some article about it

There are stories about a russian guy who killed all of his family in 1995 and no one knew the why

[gusty hawk]

i did some digging, gonna do more tomorrow. gonna hit the hay

aka sleep

[distant temple]

wait mushrooms can just dig up caves like that?

and how many catacombs even are there in france

[hallow inlet]

This map would be so great in a roleplaying setting

[viscid panther]

Mostly in Paris

But Paris' catacombs are massive

To the point where you can actually fully move from one side to another through it

[viscid panther]

Tried to look that up and can't seem to find anything about caves dug BY wild mushrooms

A champignonnière is a place where mushrooms are cultivated from what I found

[subtle gazelle]

https://louveciennestribune.typepad.com/media/2012/01/effondrements.html

Oh okay so there are underground stuff in Louveciennes and mushrooms but they are not digged by mushrooms or atleast it’s unclear

https://www.leparisien.fr/faits-divers/l-intense-vie-souterraine-des-carrieres-interdites-05-06-2001-2002215390.php

[ebon stone]

i remember that one video of a guy wandering the paris catacombs

wonder if that was real

[viscid panther]

wdym ?

People do that all the time

There's a loooot of things happening in the catacombs

Either bad or good

Most recent one

Catacomb map

Tho it's bad quality so barely readable

That one looks better

And from my understanding that's only a part of it

Tbf it's fascinating

That map is from 2000 too

A lot of stuff might have changed, tunnels that are under sensible areas were sealed off

[ebon stone]

catacombs are for burials correct ?

[calm bluff]

mass storage I think

[viscid panther]

yea mass storage of dead bodies

In France

Catacombs are supposed to be burials

But here it was a need to store all the dead bodies because there wasn't enough place in the parisian cemetaries anymore

Also reading a bit about it, technically the catacombs are actually really small, and all those tunnels were quarries

i'm not sure about 1 or 2 of the links credibility, but the last one is a literal obituary (i think???) The first one is pretty credible, the 3rd is the literal NATO site (for SHAPE), and the 2nd one has some pretty convincing pictures, so i'll be damned if they're somehow photoshopped (i saw one of them give a sliver of the interior, might be of use?). Also, every window visible from what you gave me could either be a bunk room or an office, i'm guessing a bunk room, considering the image with markings shows some divided rooms, however the entrance likely has offices. This isn't it for now, but it's what i've got so far.
@subtle gazelle

just noticed one of the links may be the one you gave me

rah

[subtle gazelle]

Oh woaw I haven’t seen those pics before in the links you provide

[gusty hawk]

is there an ETA for the release?

also theres a mod called 'Totally's Historical Firearms Pack - Arms of The 3rd Republic' that'd be cool to have in the map, idk how mapping works with mods

[hoary palm]

ewww france get out of here scram

[gusty hawk]

no

[hoary palm]

i mean it looks really good but

its france

so i cant like it

I think the joke here is the rest of Europe has a running joke with the French being the French

[river oxide]

i hope the catacombs come to this mod, it would be cool for a base deep in the catcombs or a person with a horde chasing them in the catacombs

[viscid panther]

The map is not in Paris, it's on the outskirts

You're not getting any catacombs

[subtle gazelle]

There would be catacombs, but not the ones found in Paris

Tons of cool underground areas incoming

There will be part of Paris maybe not in the first version of the mod, but not the full city itself

But the goal rn is to get rural areas

[river oxide]

There is other catacombs

smaller, but they are there

i think a catacomb is in one of the map's featured cities

i assume the lore reason for this map not having paris is due to all the riot guards there, defending paris

[subtle gazelle]

Catacombs are not exclusive to Paris too

[river oxide]

project rome

[subtle gazelle]

PZ works best in a semi urban environment anyways

Paris is mostly residential with some leisure and offices place

[subtle gazelle]

I'm confident, the choice of the parisian suburbs is great

[ebon stone]

Personally i prefer the outskirts

paris is too big and has too many buildings for my liking

[subtle gazelle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/s/mAb757LmOr

[haughty pendant]

once this is fully finished and released to the steamworkshop (btw this is well done!)
i'll definitely add this to my the whole kentucky collection

[subtle gazelle]

It’s a full standalone, it will not be part of Kentucky

[hallow inlet]

How does that work exactly? Does it just override the whole map?

[calm bluff]

Pretty much

[hallow inlet]

Wicked

[haughty pendant]

Oh wow really, Well keep up the good work!

[charred gulch]

So how much french people will be added

[viscid panther]

Me making a Bandits addon that replaces the factions with french ones

[astral perch]

maybe a mod that replace the default american name generator with the french one

[viscid panther]

That's a good idea lol

I believe it's not hard to mod either

[astral perch]

I've been thinking of making smth like that but I still don't know where the template names are kept

[gusty hawk]

im curious if you are yet to start on that NATO base

if you have, please show me a picture i must see!!!

[subtle gazelle]

It’s on the work

Day one mod worked on the map, but I need the french voices

Big WIP, pics are kinda old too

[subtle gazelle]

It’s already a feature present

I mean in the random name generator when you create your character

[astral perch]

ahh okay

[subtle gazelle]

It will come with the mod

[gusty hawk]

unpopular opinion day 1 sucks, way too chaotic

make a pot reference somewhere in the base :beg:

[viscid panther]

Simply search some names in the game files

It's in a gigantic file which adds to a table names

You'll have to heavily automate the creation of the file which overrides the names

Those might get sent to the java too, might want to verify that you can infact remove the old names

[viscid panther]

Nice !

[viscid panther]

The mod is not meant to be used in a serious playthrough tbf

It's mostly a proof of concept

[gusty hawk]

i mean, one can install it, and use it for the first 2 days then uninstall it to show the chaos slowly easing out

[deft surge]

To easy for Germans players

[hallow inlet]

Too soon

[serene night]

And us we will throw pierogi on them

[remote vector]

yea

[serene night]

🔥

[subtle gazelle]

99% complete

[gusty hawk]

poggers, fr make military vehicle spawns there

[rich owl]

This looks beautiful

This is wonderful

[hallow inlet]

I agree. Wicked so far

[mild vine]

Extremely hyped for this, hoping for a Louvre or other museum area

[viscid panther]

Impossible, again, it's not Paris

It's the outskirts of it

[mild vine]

OGH my bad, shoulda read more ^^

still hope there is painting spawns aplenty!

[viscid panther]

The map he's creating is so a much more aacuratr representative of the common France

[river oxide]

there should be a joke map of paris released thats just a copy pasted section of the map with all tiles covered in litter and the only zombies are in riot police gear

oh and make a 900$ microtransaction for each time you set up a base in a house to reflect the cost of living

[deep lotus]

So true

[dense ermine]

When is this coming out?

[weary forum]

mmh first quarter of 25 but again we trying to go both for size and details so it's a bit long to do

[gusty hawk]

i know you likely already finished the NATO base, but i just want to mention an extra suggestion: i remember one of my sources saying something about 'german tunnels from WW2 that kids could play in'

just a thought

[gusty hawk]

also just curious will there be custom event things that i forgot the name of, the thing that generates car crashes or survivor houses

such as a riot area

[viscid panther]

Probably not, pretty sure these are partially hard coded

[urban tinsel]

Any French cemeteries?

[subtle gazelle]

Yeah survivors and burnt houses is something that generates randomly. For trafficjams/burnt cars you can place them by hand. There are some of the map

[gusty hawk]

neat

[astral perch]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3380538630 just incase anyone find this interesting

[hallow inlet]

What villages are you doing, out of interest?

[astral perch]

not my maps, just spreading the words of it

the thread hasn't been made so I decided to share it here

[astral perch]

anywho

[pine charm]

I see a potential base at that house

[hallow inlet]

Can you access the top of the viaduct/aqueduct

[gusty hawk]

do you think B42 will bring issues when it fully releases?

[viscid panther]

Why would it ?

[gusty hawk]

idk, maybe tile changes perhaps? i dont know about building in pz so idk

[gusty hawk]

im bored again got anything i can look into that'd be useful in any way

[rough bane]

Will this mod include french military?

and/or french military guns/vehicles

[subtle gazelle]

There is an immense military base just in the map

[rough bane]

So, there's french equipment then?

[subtle gazelle]

Not currently

[gusty hawk]

is that the map... or the base?

[subtle gazelle]

The base is up there

[gusty hawk]

oh yeah i hleped with that

[wraith canopy]

Please dont make 2nd place at the world cup

[ebon stone]

bro what lmao

[hardy ember]

Oe pas mal, pas mal

[remote vector]

bumpp

[calm bluff]

Has b42 affected the map progress?

[viscid panther]

Most likely no, because from what I understood maps are easy to transition, the main problem is adapting it to the new cell size, which in the case of their map here shouldn't be a problem because it's a standalone

[subtle gazelle]

https://youtu.be/51ZNXCVdVko?si=bL8R2OfGnu0LoW5O

[subtle gazelle]

I’m just waiting for the official mapping tools

Progress this weekend and today

[hallow inlet]

Very nice!

[gusty hawk]

do we have an ETA for release? just curious

[deft drum]

These buildings are beautiful. Keep up the amazing work.

[solemn haven]

Wow. This entire project really looks beautiful

[subtle gazelle]

Not yet

[solemn haven]

This looks like a nice big hospital?

[gusty hawk]

more zombies than louisville

ong

[subtle gazelle]

Yes

[crude radish]

there seems to be a fob on the island in the middle of the map

[glad crescent]

That’s gonna be so scary to try and survive in

[umbral kindle]

Good luck

[elder karma]

Are the signs and stuff going to be in English or French?

[viscid panther]

What kind of stupid question is that ???

[fallen blade]

It's not actually stupid, it is about immersion into the France, just like Project Russia did it, literally translated everything into Russian language.

And if this map is gonna translate the stuff and signs into French language, then it would be awesome for the sake of atmosphere

[gusty hawk]

If you're talking about the one in the river, i cannot speak exactly but that doesn't look a lot like a FOB as much as it does look like the real life housing and things that were/are actually there; the map is, to my knowledge, partially/mostly based on the real life part of paris its in. There is, however, a military base in the left corner under the river, near the 4-way intersection with 2 circles/ovals.

holy yap

[serene night]

Actually that is a great question

[ebon stone]

it's quite reasonable

[viscid panther]

Considering what we've seen of their work, and how much detail they put into it, I'd be surprised if they didn't add french signs

[subtle gazelle]

Signs are french

Tons of French posters

However as for translating books and so on I haven’t figured just yet

[viscid panther]

Like fliers you mean ?

[subtle gazelle]

Like translating vanilla items that have American and Kentucky names on it

[viscid panther]

Retexturing

Like the caps and shit

Wouldn't be that hard to do, but there might be a few items to do

Also this might interest you
https://pzwiki.net/wiki/How_to_make_a_flier_mod

In case you want to make your own B42 fliers

[distant tendon]

project los angeles when?

[ebon stone]

never california sucks

[rough bane]

🔥 fire suggestion

Though, an LA map would be very dangerous, countless undead to fight

[distant tendon]

would be nice to have a version without actual fire

[distant tendon]

I'd hope it's population could be linked to the population slider and thus individuals could choose the amount of zombies rather than it being linked to building size.

[rough bane]

I feel like there's better places in CA for a zomboid map. The Oakland district has a nice mix of big city (san fransisco), and suburban areas

heck, here's a county map of Sonoma County, located inside of the Oakland district. Tons of small towns, a big city in the center, coastline, beautiful fields, & old spanish buildings

I'd take any county though, I yearn for a california map

t-t

Got a bigcity, an airport, millitary base, and decent suburb

[plucky pilot]

Can u make the psg stadium XD maybe we could use it as a base @subtle gazelle

[barren spire]

Your mod seems awesome!

Will this mod be a standalone?
Or will be placed outside of the actual world perimeter for example?

I heard that is already possible do big map and place map also on negative coordinates (procedural wilderness out of the perimeter).

[subtle gazelle]

This will be full standalone

[ebon stone]

himmel the hero approves this mod

now thats crazy

[lunar bison]

Hi! My friend and I are looking to cooperate on a map mod together, and I heard about Project France, its success, and that it's a collaborative process. I would love to pick your brain on how you're working on the map together.

Are you working on the same TMX's by using github?
Is one working on TBX buildings while the other works on the TMX map?
Are there merge conflicts?

I would love to chat about this in order to see what your process is before we jump into it.

I was thinking of trying to start a one or two cell project with a friend and putting everything up on a private github to deal with merge conflicts while we both work on the TMX and TBX files. There are concerns that both working on the same TMX will overwrite the work, while I'm very much "let's get in and find out" he would like more data. He heard about your coop project which is incredible and successful so we wanted to pick your brain!

Feel free to DM me, or let me know here! I would love to hear about your process. I'm trying to find a process different than Indie Stone's which seems to be mappers working solo, which is how everyone seems to be working at the moment.

[graceful sedge]

release wen

[subtle gazelle]

Waiting for b42 tools

[cold mist]

Im new to this thread but I have a couple of "different" questions. The first one is: Are you guys a team or do you work alone?

[subtle gazelle]

We’re currently about 10 individuals, me and my partner are full time while the others are mostly one timers

It’s been 1 year of hard work

[cold mist]

It's because me and a friend of mine want to started working on a map together and we were wondering on how teams like your for example work exactly with the tools. Btw I LOVE your project, we want to make a European map because we are both from there,but we are very fresh to mapping so we don't want to make custom tiles.

[quaint pivot]

can't wait for this mod to release

it's time to niquer des zombies

[gusty hawk]

to my very basic knowledge, you dont have to make your own tiles but it'd probably look a lot better with them

[cold mist]

Yeah, possible, now we are making a american styled map

Can't tell you where, 'cause it's a mystery for now, we plan to release it once we have somemore stuff...Only hint i can say is that the area we are working on is south west of Louisville (A lot south)

Still in Kentucky tho

[desert apex]

catacombs of paris!?!?

[regal sun]

Can someone do Project Rome next, Project zomboid set in Roman times

[cold mist]

It will take years

Without guns, cars, and all the modern stuff?

[subtle gazelle]

It takes too much time to make a map, I don’t think it’s even worth it tbh. I wouldn’t do it again. Right now, I’m too deep in it that I can’t quit

You barely even play PZ

[lilac mango]

is there an online map somewhere (like in the patreon) to look at the map or is it only a playable beta version of the map ?

[subtle gazelle]

Wdym ?

[lilac mango]

like this https://b42map.com/ but for the map

or is it solely an accesable map which would be only playable on b41 for now

[lilac mango]

pardon me, found the discord where the buildings are shown with the interiors and all that was what i was trying to ask for, thanks.

[worthy fjord]

oo this is cool

[graceful sedge]

will this replace the entire map or be an extension to it?

[viscid panther]

Standalone

[thorny magnet]

guts and blackpowder

[thorny magnet]

@viscid panther i forgot to ask, whats the city he is building called?

[viscid panther]

I don't remember but it's in Ile de France, not too far from Paris but still closer to a smaller scale french city

[lilac mango]

It’s a collection of smaller cities in proximity of Paris, the plan on their discord is to realize Bougival, Louveciennes, La celle-Saint cloud and Marly-le-roi

[subtle gazelle]

Yes it’s in the western suburbs of Paris. Lots of cool places to explore

It’s a collection of neighboring towns with their own personalities in the Yvelines

• Louveciennes is wealthy with nice mansions, an old town center and a gloomy history

-La Celle Saint Cloud is more modern, with large housing projects (HLM). It offers a commercial district and a large classical castle. Simply put, it’s a typical working class and french town

-Bougival is a mix of both, with residential wealthy neighborhoods and and old town center in a valley

-Port Marly is an old industrial port in full reconversion.

More towns are coming

It’s known for being depicted by Impressionist painters such as Monet, Sisley, Renoir

There are some cool stone built house that you don’t find elsewhere

Specific to the Parisian region

[hallow inlet]

You should really do an FAQ here and get it pinned

[subtle gazelle]

I can’t pin anything here

There is a FAQ in the mod Discord, I suggest anyone to go check it out to also view daily progress

[dusty quiver]

This map is gonna be so peak

[gusty hawk]

military base is fire 🔥 anything else i can do useless 5 minute crafts anylizing of

[subtle gazelle]

We are working on the large fire station nearby. There is also an IT research base adjacent. I still wonder what they do in it. Maybe you can try to have a look

Also another thing, I know there have been mention of catacombs and especially underground stone quarries in Bougival and Louveciennes. But I need more info on where the entrances were, what they are etc

[unique fossil]

Is one of the weapons an old baguette?

[gusty hawk]

wil get back to you tomorrow

catacombs dont got shit map wise

[gusty hawk]

this all i could find 😭

[subtle gazelle]

This is incredibly cool thank you

If you got time too, there are massive underground tunnels in La Défense aka Paris commercial district. We might go try to make an escape map / scenario with a PZ setting in the metro station. Would be cool to display some b42 French skyscrapers and underground’s

[viscid panther]

There are maps

Just they can't be found easily

But maps exist within the cataphile community

Wtf ?

[rough root]

project france right?

[crude radish]

Yeah I’m not getting lost down there

[calm bluff]

Honestly would be a fun challenge

[crude radish]

Reminds me of this one roblox game called guts and blackpowder that has a catacombs map

Would be cool if an old french army type easter egg could somehow be made

[hollow pier]

omg this looks amazing

[gusty hawk]

La Defense is far left near top corner

yoinked that from random paris metro site

or something

[subtle gazelle]

https://destination.hauts-de-seine.fr/les-cathedrales-englouties-de-paris-la-defense.html

[tender vapor]

There are mapping tools for B42, but it's an unofficial toolset: https://github.com/Unjammer/WorldEd/releases/tag/20250118

They were open-source for a long time afaik, but the already-compiled version of them was posted on github only recently. They seem to work fine rn

[subtle gazelle]

They break whenever TIS update PZ. It’s not worth it to invest on it rn

[hasty pawn]

This little house is chefs kiss

Great work

[hasty pawn]

great work

[subtle gazelle]

It’s a law office

Thnx

So many good potential bases i see, espically since lots of them are gated

I really hope there will be catacombs bc this is fire 🔥

gonna play this anyways when it releases

[calm bluff]

Will there be basements?

[calm bluff]

@slow escarp

[subtle gazelle]

No b42 mapping for now

[desert apex]

is there any information for when it will be released?

wow i get to kill french people when it releases

[distant temple]

You can do it in real life too!

[jolly blaze]

yea but thats illegal

[distant temple]

Only if people find out!

[kind cedar]

Make an easter egg with placing small base of french revolutionaries in one house/room? I'd be fun to find out such est-egg

Or room of old nazy💀

Or room of anything like crazy scientist, conspiracy theories of zombie apocalypse, and etc..

[lilac mango]

if i'm not wrong they already did it, placed some easter eggs all over the city.

[gusty hawk]

are B42 map tools still not ready, or is there a release estimate

[subtle gazelle]

Maybe a v1 for B41 in early April. Then it’s waiting season until b42 mapping tools are released

[gusty hawk]

Sounds great.

How large will be full map be compared to B42 knox county?

[subtle gazelle]

This is an old picture but shows the scope

It’s smaller than Knox but more dense

[deep lotus]

I see. still super awesome

[viscid panther]

That's still quite a decent size tbf

[lilac mango]

it is really big and insanely condensed if i were to i would compare it to like a map the size of Louisville, maybe a bit smaller on total size but with way more buildings due to them being closer. one of the biggest maps while also having every building made with time (no copy paste of houses to make big suburbs such as Louisville)

[kindred steppe]

[gusty hawk]

odd name

[viscid panther]

Why that ?

[kindred steppe]

usually this means something bad, and in our day and age people will often atribute this to weird things that people well- enjoy... lets say, but the actual word "Phile" means “lover of” or “enthusiast of.”

[viscid panther]

Yeah, that's literally the meaning of phile lol

Nothing weird with it

[kindred steppe]

there is not with the word alone no

[viscid panther]

You're too used to its usage for weirdo stuff

[viscid panther]

Ik

[kindred steppe]

i was agreeing with you 👍🏽

[kindred steppe]

sadly, everyone is

[viscid panther]

Nvm I read that wrongly mb

[kindred steppe]

the world is a horrible place

people are weird

[viscid panther]

We're just using words, if people find it weird they are the issue

[kindred steppe]

Lol

Cataphiles are urban explorers who illegally tour the Mines of Paris

usually for extortionate amounts

[viscid panther]

Yea

[viscid panther]

Uh wdym ?

Cataphiles are people who enjoy going in Paris catacombes

[kindred steppe]

what i mentioned

is the literal definition

[viscid panther]

By touring you mean to have people pay you to make them visit the catacombes ?

If so idk where you got that definition bcs that's absolutely not what it is

[kindred steppe]

i live in the area and i have seen this happen first hand

[viscid panther]

That's Wikipedia page for it and that's a wrong translation from the french page

[kindred steppe]

its also in the dictionary too

[viscid panther]

I mean yeah of course that happens, but that's absolutely not what caraphiles is about

[kindred steppe]

👌🏽

[viscid panther]

Cataphiles are people who visit the Paris catacombes. No specification with touring

Both are cataphiles

But cataphiles are not tour guides

[kindred steppe]

but it is illegal either way

if you are caught

[viscid panther]

Yeah

But cataphiles are not tour guides

There are tour guides who are cataphiles tho

That I don't doubt it

[kindred steppe]

indeed

[viscid panther]

There's even a french police section goes in the catacombes

Cataflic is the name given to them (not officially) if I remember right

[near flax]

how do u manage to make a zombie apocalypse scarier

[kindred steppe]

you can try the week one mod 🙂

[near flax]

if playing in france wasn't scary enough

french people too....

oh you were making a french joke

i thought you were asking

The moment this mod releases, I’m putting on napoleon’s outfit, and equipping some npcs with revolutionary gear to liberate Paris

It’s the only correct way to play it

@subtle gazelle do you have an Est?

of when this mod is coming out?

[ebon stone]

can't wait to find zombie mitterand

[viscid panther]

True

[ocean raft]

The map is very good and one question, when you finish this map of France, do you intend to make maps of other countries?

[subtle gazelle]

No it takes too much time unfortunately

[placid fox]

will we be able to burn the eifelle tower down

[graceful sedge]

any news on the release? @subtle gazelle

[lilac mango]

If I’m not wrong they are waiting until the b42 mapping tools come out to realease the map on both versions

[graceful sedge]

oh right i forgot

sorry for the ping 😭

[lilac mango]

It’s fine I’m chronically online rn

[subtle gazelle]

We are focusing on the sub mods for Project France

[warm jetty]

This is truly incredible… keep up the phenomenal work!!!!!

[hallow inlet]

When you finish a building, do you do the interiors as well, or do you come around to that in a later pass?

[subtle gazelle]

No we do everything at the same time

[thorny magnet]

[subtle gazelle]

This is actually not me making this. We are two on this project from the start

I don’t have much free time rn because of work but I do my best

It’s going to be good 👍

[buoyant topaz]

This looks amazing, and if I can offer some unsolicited advice for organization.

[ripe wigeon]

holy moly

[quaint bear]

are you going to do like Spongies you know like open Jackets, tuck pants and rolled up shirt ?

[ripe wigeon]

i think this project has been depreciated

[subtle gazelle]

Vests can be open with spongie’s mod but when it is closing back it reverts to the og vanilla texture

[ripe wigeon]

wait is it the same mod as this? https://www.youtube.com/@ProjetFrance-vm6ip

[quaint bear]

oh ok

[subtle gazelle]

Yes

[subtle gazelle]

What do you mean?

We are reaching the finalization phase for b41, bug fixing and focusing on other mods than the map itself

[quaint bear]

I'm so hyped for this map because as a French people it's good to see a map mod on my favorite game on my country

[ripe wigeon]

really?

i thought i remember the mod saying that it's not gonna be worked on for a while

[subtle gazelle]

It has slowed down from my side because I am now working a full 8-8 job. That said I’m still working on it

[ripe wigeon]

ah

i see

gotcha

[viscid panther]

Oh putain let's go

[ripe wigeon]

this is amazing

if i could post the absolute cinema gif id post it

[ripe wigeon]

[viscid panther]

They already have one

[thorny magnet]

I want it now

AAA

[graceful sedge]

they do? can i have a link

[onyx compass]

Is zone rogue going to be on the map? I’m curious about if unexploded land mines will be a potential hazard

[subtle gazelle]

Wdym ?

[onyx compass]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_rouge

“The areas are saturated with unexploded shells (including many gas shells), grenades, and rusting ammunition. Soils were heavily polluted by lead, mercury, chlorine, arsenic, various dangerous gases, acids, and human and animal remains.[1] The area was also littered with ammunition depots and chemical plants. The land of the Western Front is covered in old trenches and shell holes.
Each year, numerous unexploded shells are recovered from former WWI battlefields in what is known as the iron harvest. According to the Sécurité Civile, the French agency in charge of the land management of Zone Rouge, 300 to 700 more years at this current rate will be needed to clean the area completely.[2] Some experiments conducted in 2005–06 discovered up to 300 shells per hectare (120 per acre) in the top 15 centimetres (5.9 inches) of soil in the worst areas.[3]”

[subtle gazelle]

The map is too far from where ww1 battles took place in France

It’s set in the Parisian mundane countryside

[onyx compass]

ohhh okay

[hasty pawn]

Not sure if you also adding some awesome French guns but if you are please consider the FAMAS & Mas-38

[viscid panther]

They are

Check a bit earlier here

Also the "devils pot" yellow car would be brilliant from this movie

[hasty pawn]

Oh hell yeah! can't wait

[subtle gazelle]

Not a Renault but a Citroën c15

[hallow inlet]

Have you included any Easter Eggs from anything like French movies and such?

[subtle gazelle]

Yes

Mostly in terms of poster

[lethal fjord]

Is this project Mbappe reference

[subtle gazelle]

Mbappe wasn’t even born in 93

[subtle gazelle]

some new buildings

[bronze edge]

This is really really peak

[deep lotus]

genuinely love the variety

[bronze edge]

I love the concept alone

The idea of being in another country is just so cool to me, I know the russia map exists but we need more. Like london or something like that

[viscid panther]

I think there is a london project

[bronze edge]

Really? Id Love to see it come to light. Because ya know london and 28 days later....

[subtle gazelle]

more residential

[bronze edge]

I have never been so exited for a map mod in my life

[wicked oxide]

That yellow house looks really nice for some late nights gaming or having some friends over for dinner

[ripe rain]

back in the day these houses was the average house in france

[subtle gazelle]

More houses

There are 2000 unique buildings on the map rn

[solemn haven]

How many buildings are left? In mean 2000 is already a very impressive number, don't get me wrong! But I was wondering how many still need to be designed

[subtle gazelle]

We’re making a new trailer and release the map + the other mods for b41. These few ones are for a new zone that will come after release

[solemn haven]

Sounds amazing! I am sure everyone here appreciates your hard work. Keep it up :D

[bronze edge]

Will this map mod be for B41 or B42? Or some how both

[signal hull]

I think B41 since the B42 tool is not out or smth like this

[deep lotus]

holy shit

[subtle gazelle]

Yes for the moment

[gusty hawk]

how hard is it to convert from version to version

[proven halo]

What is the recipe? I made pancakes today but they didn't look like pancakes.

[lethal fjord]

Those are eggs lol

I use a very small pan so they become like that

[proven halo]

ahahahahah

you are good

[distant temple]

I thought those were pita bread
