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:

You have inspired me to continue my UK map now, thanks!

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

remote walrus
#

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

remote walrus
#

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

subtle gazelle
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
#

#

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
#

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

holy gyatt this is so amazing ❤️❤️❤️

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!

Is this a Daryl Dixon reference?

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

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

#

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
#

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

subtle gazelle
#

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

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

Can't wait to play on this map

halcyon drum

It's all superbe! Great work!

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 😅

Can provide a link here

It’s on the trailer description

#

How far along is the project?

subtle gazelle
#

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

broken kernel
# calm bluff How far along is the project?

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?

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

viscid panther

He's recreating another smaller city next to Paris

thorny magnet
#

NOOOO

#

My Paris

viscid panther
#

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

#

Bruh, an AI art again

#

Map looks good though

viscid panther
#

Looks amazing

river oxide
#

more ai slop

viscid panther
#

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
viscid panther
#

Yeah

river oxide
#

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
finite carbon
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
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

viscid panther

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
subtle gazelle
#

yes

calm bluff
#

Pics in the server look insane btw

subtle gazelle
#

Does someone recognize this place?

calm bluff
#

Metro

subtle gazelle
#

hint : it's in Paris

Paris; Metro

subtle gazelle
#

but which one?

viscid panther
#

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

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

b42 conversion and additional mechanics might delay it a bit

there are more unique buildings than Louisville

#

Whats the planned total size for the map??

#

In relation to zomboid's map*

ebon stone

#

I assume not everyone is working all the time though

Would make sense

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
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
#

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
subtle gazelle
#

do you speak French btw?

gusty hawk
#

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
#

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
#

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
gusty hawk
#

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

distant temple
#

and how many catacombs even are there in france

hallow inlet
#

This map would be so great in a roleplaying setting

viscid panther
#

But Paris' catacombs are massive

#

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

viscid panther
#

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

subtle gazelle
#

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

ebon stone
#

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

#

wonder if that was real

viscid panther
#

People do that all the time

#

There's a loooot of things happening in the catacombs

#

Either bad or good

#

Like art stuff or parties being organized

#

Or just drug addicts, people getting lost

ebon stone
#

sad, imagine getting lost there

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
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

#

The Catacombs of Paris (French: Catacombes de Paris, ) are underground ossuaries in Paris, France, which hold the remains of more than six million people. Built to consolidate Paris's ancient stone quarries, they extend south from the Barrière d'Enfer ("Gate of Hell") former city gate; the ossuary was created as part of the effort to eliminate ...

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

#

subtle gazelle
#

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

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

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
#

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
#

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

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

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
#

make a pot reference somewhere in the base :beg:

viscid panther
#

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

It's mostly a proof of concept

# calm bluff Has b42 affected the map progress?

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

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

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.

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.

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
#

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.

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

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

onyx compass
#

“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]”
