Muldraugh 1993 - DONE - (21.09.24 - 12.07.25 (B41) - 07.04.26 B42)

[cold kestrel]

While there are Project France coming out soon - I am preparing a remake of Muldraugh. I have currently done around 20% of real life Muldraugh and everything looks, good comparing with my previous maps (Copper State, Westwood and etc.).

The town is based on the current 2024 Google Maps with some changes, BUT the atmosphere of the original Muldraugh will be implemented as well.
The reason I am publishing here and not in mapping-theme servers is because I am proud to announce my map, that will surely come out. And yes, you can find these streets on Google Maps and compare to the screenshots.

Important note: It is NOT an ABSOLUTE 1:1 remake. Some of the buildings had to be cut off.

By the way, I will be publishing here screenshots of my progress, so no worries.

[abstract carbon]

Looks very cool so far, good luck on more

[cold kestrel]

Sunstar Motel

[cold kestrel]

Backstreet Cafe from Muldraugh!

[deep harbor]

cool

ima learn bulding becose of u

[latent hawk]

That’s actually pretty fucking good

[wheat edge]

Muldraugh people irl: "Wait, is that my house in Project Zomboid!!??'

[vale whale]

this looks awesome cant wait

[fallow kraken]

This looks really good

[cold kestrel]

Recreating Franklin-Street from Muldraugh.

[wet thicket]

I bet at least one to three Muldraugh citizens saying the exact question when they find their houses replicated in a precise detail

banger ass remake though

[cold kestrel]

Muldraugh 1993 - WIP

[shell plover]

Any plans to have an optional standalone version? Would be cool to play a map that's only muldrough just like how it used to be 👍

[cold kestrel]

Only as an extension to vanilla map, otherwise the map will be not enough to fit everything important. It is a practice in US to travel to other towns to get/make something and then return.

[cold kestrel]

Progress

[lunar ore]

trash on the walkway adds so much realism

[cold kestrel]

From October 26th to November 6th the map will be temporarily stopped, because I am leaving by train to another city and I will be unable to further work on it.

[sterile narwhal]

Lovely!

[steel path]

My favourite

[cold kestrel]

I will be coming back by tuesday. Once I arrive - the work will be continued

[sand jolt]

keep going

[pine jungle]

Any progress?

[cold kestrel]

@pine jungle

[pine jungle]

Sorry, I hadn't seen it, anyway, the mod is very beautiful.

[cold kestrel]

I am back and I can work on the map again. Currently tired in these days, so the progress will slow a bit, but it's still better than not working at all.

[wet thicket]

take occasional breaks man, don't get burned out

[void saffron]

i get your already making an entire town, but it'd be cool to see part of lickskillet or a small military zone

just a thought

[deep harbor]

any tutorial for making those?

[wet thicket]

#mapping

[agile grail]

This is wonderful. I much prefer this to the lego city we are going to get, are you making your own tiles by chance ?

[latent hawk]

Same, it looks like an actual small american town

[cold kestrel]

Sadly, idk how to make my own tiles, so I have to use the done ones. I am planning to implement some of them inside the map, so it wouldn't be much of a problem (except for melos tiles) from downloading shittons of required mods.

[agile grail]

Regardless it is very well done work you have certainly an eye for detail and using google earth is a good resource besides zillow and real estate listings for getting home layouts especially older mid century homes and 70's tudor style houses.

[cloud vigil]

what tile mods are you using then?

[cold kestrel]

simon md tiles, dylan tiles, tk's tiles, pertsparty tiles

these are gonna be inside the files of map already

except for melos tiles pack

[cloud vigil]

alright

[cold kestrel]

forgot about ddd tiles

they're gonna be in too

[cloud vigil]

nice, keep up the good work then.

[dull bobcat]

Just gotta say, love the Level of detail your putting into the map. Feels like a real suburb and I wish normal zomboid did that.

[vivid knot]

hHey ! Im one of the two Project France initial creators, your mod is insane, I absolutely love it, well done man

Don't hesitate to put more bushes (f_bushes_1), it can really add a vibe to the map, but then again it's the us maybe muldraugh doesnt have as much vegetation as our town in France

your buildings are insanely cool, i really feel like our two mods go for the same vibe

[vivid knot]

And on google earth you can also find old sattelite screenshots, idk if you ll find back from 93 tho, for us it's 2003 the earliest where there is a decent resolution

[cold kestrel]

hey, thanks for telling me about satellite screenshots, I'll check them for 1993 Muldraugh! And I appreciate your opinion, thank you very much again, these comments really make my heart warmer!

[vivid knot]

I'll really follow what you do because i sincerely really love it, much much better than most of the other mods coming out

attention to details and immersion is really cool

[cold kestrel]

I will try my best to use my attention in every corner of the map, so it would be better than all of my previous maps.

[vivid knot]

it already looks very very detailed i love it

[cold kestrel]

Yeah, most of the map mods that are coming out lately - do not look that good, such as recreation of Drugstore from TWD and Raccoon City. The first one is understandable, the mapper is a newbie, but the second one is just putting done buildings on the map and publishing it.

I want to create something, that will look cool and detailed, beautiful and playable

[vivid knot]

one advice but that's only an aesthetic preference, but if you use bushes i feel like the bushes from "f_bushes_1" look better than the bushes in "vegetation_foliage_1", they are twice the pixel resolution; i think that putting lot of them can also add a lot of immersion

[vivid knot]

I completely agreen that will make your map memorable

[cold kestrel]

I'll look at them when I'll be back from the school. Thanks for telling me about it!

I'll try my best to publish this map as a Christmas gift for players, the best ending of this year 😄

[dull bobcat]

Will love to try it 😄

[vivid knot]

Im eager to play it!

dont rush it, take all the time you need

[cold kestrel]

Good advice!

[cold kestrel]

Progress

[latent hawk]

very nice

good job

[vivid knot]

Do you have a screenshot of your whole map?

[cold kestrel]

Yes, but I won't show it, so it would be a surprise

[dark horizon]

that actually looks like my hometown (no I dont live in muldraugh)

[cold kestrel]

Progress

[twilit shore]

Is it close to being done?

[cold kestrel]

no

[twilit shore]

Okay

Looks sick btw, even more detailed than vanilla, love it ❤️

[zealous geyser]

looks fuckin awesome

keep up the good work

[vivid knot]

tbh vanilla isnt really detailed, but yeah his work is insane i love it

[cold kestrel]

Will have a look at the map in b42 and send screenshots if something change

[verbal meteor]

For b42, muldraugh isn't as realistic looking as this still but it doesn't just feel like a town of square boxes anymore, feels alive

[latent hawk]

B42 muldraugh and this muldraugh are two opposites but i like them both

[cloud vigil]

yeah, b42 muldraugh is very pretty and good looking, while this feels a bit more lived in

[cold kestrel]

Muldraugh 1993 is about the real Muldraugh, not beating PZ's original Muldraugh. I believe b42 Muldraugh is good, but I think people are gonna remember it's design really fast and will check up on everything by the time I release my map.

[verbal meteor]

People will do the same to your map after it's released too

[cold kestrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s-1_6_CrXk

[zealous geyser]

looking fire 👍

[lunar ore]

great trailer

[midnight laurel]

good looks!

[twilit shore]

I love it

[cold kestrel]

Hill Street is almost done.

[sacred berry]

these look so pretty

[hearty pewter]

darn all these places look so good! i really wish we would get a comfy interior with these

[cold kestrel]

There are good interiors inside, some mappers even said it's better than IRL.
Here's some showcase.

[hearty pewter]

oh man, those are definitely worth living in
also neat jesus pic, stealing it immediately:)

[cold kestrel]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3391173474 I suggest you playing this fantastic map by the fantastic mapper while there isn't Muldraugh yet!

[deep harbor]

bumpp

[shell plover]

Yeah true, an alternate Muld would be good to reinvigorate it

[cinder sapphire]

Amazing work

[north garden]

Any eta on this mod release? Muld is my fave town in-game and I'm excited for an irl rendition

Also will it be b42 compatible? With basements and such

[blissful osprey]

This looks insanely good

[cold kestrel]

There are no estimated time when the mod will be released. You can't speed up the artwork, it takes time to create it.
It will be B42 compatible when the official tools for it will be released by the devs. Currently it is for B41. I am not using the people's tools because I can't risk all of my work to be erased just from editor, which could contain bugs that will ruin the map.

P.S. I am sure that the map will be released in 2025

[sleek stump]

God this is so amazing dude

wonderful job, so very wonderful

these houses are so eye candy to look at

[median gull]

Is there any progress?

I'm concerned that nobody said anything in almost 3 weeks

[cold kestrel]

Kinda stopped, but I made some progress a few days ago, it's still going on.

[median gull]

Thanks

Can I ask you a question about the map or is it going to be a surprise?

[cold kestrel]

Sure, you can ask a question

[median gull]

Will Muldraugh still have a police station? (I don't know if they have it irl)

[cold kestrel]

If there is gonna be one - I will add. If not - Maybe I'll find the way to add it.

[median gull]

Nice

thanks

[cold kestrel]

Progress

[cold kestrel]

You're welcome!

[median gull]

They look sick

[cold kestrel]

Thanks!

[median gull]

You made the roofs very nicely (I know something about it because i am making a map myself)

Is it all vanilla?

[cold kestrel]

Unfortunately no, the map requires DDD, melo's, Pert's and etc tiles to run. Without them it wouldn't be impossidle to create such map.

[median gull]

No worries

[cold kestrel]

Especially knowing these places in Muldraugh

[median gull]

Around how many buildings did you made so far if I can ask?

[cold kestrel]

A lot. More than 100 buildings have been built already. And there are 100+ more to build. Every building is unique and there are no copy and paste buildings.

[median gull]

Oh my god

This looks sooooo good

LOVE IT

keep it up

Don't rush it dude

[cold kestrel]

Thank you again :))

[median gull]

I can wait as long as you need

[cold kestrel]

I hope by the time I release it - I can import it into B42

[median gull]

Yeah, we have to wait for the devs to realese official tools for b42

How many cells is that?

sorry for asking so much

[cold kestrel]

6x2

Just 12 cells

But it takes me roughly a lot of time to just finish 1 cell

[median gull]

that is still perfectly enough for me

quality over quantity

[cold kestrel]

Yep, that is very wise, I think

Some mappers rush their maps (not gonna point at which ones), and I played on these - not very good quality.

[median gull]

I also try to put as much detail to my map as possible, so I quess it's true

[cold kestrel]

Some of them are steam-point-grabbers

[median gull]

I also played a couple of rushed ones

[cold kestrel]

You may burn out from it, but the art takes that much time as it needs to be finished.

[median gull]

Exactly

[cold kestrel]

I absolutely support your genuine efforts on map to put many details

[median gull]

Thank you, I also support everything that you do in here, take your time.

One last question

Any tips on making houses, so they look good?

[cold kestrel]

I'll post a time lapse video of making a building, maybe you can get something from it.

[median gull]

That's nice

On your youtube channel?

[cold kestrel]

Yep

[median gull]

alright then

can i get the name for it?

I forgot the name

[cold kestrel]

literally my nickname

[median gull]

could have thought about that...

thanks

I'll subscribe

[dull bobcat]

looking too good

[cold kestrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGS02ZElPR0

[median gull]

Thanks for the video, I learned a couple of things from it.

[viral holly]

irl muldraugh residents watching their actual home address show up in a "top 10 modded Zomboid bases" video on YouTube

[median gull]

lol

[slow yarrow]

how long did it take in real time?

[candid cosmos]

it says at the end: 28 mins and 32 seconds

[slow yarrow]

sorry im stupid i clicked off before the very end

[cold kestrel]

Muldraugh's elementary school, city hall and police department

[median gull]

Let's goo

[upper sentinel]

on a sidenote, great remake but that school looks fuckin depressing 😭

imagine needing to go there IRL

[cold kestrel]

it is still depressive just as in the game

with or without the remake

[upper sentinel]

yea n o ieman the IRL one is depressing

urs is just a accurate remake inside PZ lmao

[burnt igloo]

this is unreal, so excited to play this some day

I live in a small town (somewhat similar to Muldraugh) and every inch of this map feels so authentic.

[cold kestrel]

👀
||They're not filled in yet, so don't worry about the lack of details!||

[median gull]

I love how the spiffos look like 💯

Other look cool as hell too 🔥🔥🔥

This Church looks similar to a church somewhere....I don't know where though 🤔

The house next to it is amazing, it might look small but I love houses like these ❤️ also the American flag makes it look even better and it's a smart tiny little detail that actually makes a big difference in looks and the gameplay itself.

[slow yarrow]

spiffo gas station is interesting

[compact sapphire]

This mod is going to be so peak

[dull bobcat]

Insane details once again.

[upper sentinel]

woa

big preogress

anyways how come 55%

it appears moreso like ~38

[when considering buildings as taking long ofc]

[median gull]

Good progress dude!

[cold kestrel]

Forests are very easy, so I made their procents kinda worthless

[upper sentinel]

ye but i mean in terms of town proper

[burnt igloo]

that looks like about half

its just sliced weird is all

[midnight laurel]

good looks man

super hyped to play this

[hushed pawn]

Incredible work and attention to detail. Can't wait to play it

[cold kestrel]

LEPs placed

[median gull]

Looks so realistic!

[void saffron]

🔥

i am once again requesting a 5 quintillion sq. ft. bunker beneath muldraugh

[hushed pawn]

Looks really incredible dude

so much detail

love that little porch

[humble anchor]

Wow. Just found this and am definitely looking forward to this. Hope the shift to b42 isn’t causing to much issue. It’s going to be awesome to explore this

[humble anchor]

Ohhh just saw this. Awesome and very reasonable. Very much looking forward to it.

[cold kestrel]

Progress

[median gull]

They are awesome 🔥🔥🔥

[hushed pawn]

Incredible. This one in particulr idk why it just ticks all the right boxes for me

[zealous geyser]

havent had a look at this in a while but damn youve done quite a bit

looks awesome, keep up the good work, cant wait to see the finished product

[cinder sapphire]

They need to hire you lmao

[hushed pawn]

Amazing work!!

[median gull]

WOW!

[sleek stump]

im eating all this up

i didnt know the engine even supported half walls this is really cool

[hushed pawn]

@tropic mango

[lavish bane]

This man is cooking great work

[surreal python]

They should hire you dude

Want to play on this map asap!🤝🏻🤝🏻

[cold kestrel]

I have actually been contacted a few days ago. The Devs know about my mapping skills, talked with one of them. Right now I can't be a part of their team, fortunately or not, but it is still amazing to be seen.

[median gull]

YO, that's some huge news, did they tell you why can't you be a part of their team?

[cold kestrel]

Yes, they told me. It is hard to pick mappers from playerbase to the game mapping, I absolutely understand why it is that. I am not gonna reveal specifically what's the deal.

[median gull]

Sure thing, did they said that they might consider cantacting you again?

[cold kestrel]

Maybe, I don't know. But I can recontact with them too.

[median gull]

Well, congratulations that the DEVS themselves realized on how talented you are!

[cold kestrel]

Thank you!

[median gull]

You know your next project already?

[hushed pawn]

Love your work @cold kestrel !

[cold kestrel]

Thank you!

[cold kestrel]

I am thinking about recreating West Point or making a cliff map, like a Highway 17 from Half-life 2. No, not literally HL2, but the same feeling and terrain

[median gull]

Your choice man, both will be awesome!

Muldraugh already looks fantastic, so i can't even imagine future projects.

[hushed pawn]

I remember when we met when you was making that map

great memories and now look, im learning tricks from you! 😄

[cold kestrel]

Absolute wow! 😄

[hushed pawn]

its a great time to be a mapper, b42 is such a great update and its honestly just constant honor to mod for it 😛

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-project-zomboid-fireman-gif-6939276086176865399

[tropic mango]

This is looking incredible, I'm so happy to see 1:1 real building mapping, this is what I've been doing in New Jersey with residential and you're nailing it. Can't wait to see this up and availabale to play, quality is incredible 🙂

[cinder sapphire]

I hope they rethink hiring you one day when possible. As someone who had the game since desura days I think your mapping skills are the best I’ve seen.

[cold kestrel]

If they hire me - they can get not a good questions considering me. I don't want them and me have a trouble with it, I just need to wait.

It's about job, not volunteering or participation in an event

[cold kestrel]

👀

@cold kestrel bicycles will be just tiles, or there are any plans to make it rideable?😏

Just tiles. But you can download a mod for it

I believe I will end it this year at least, so no worries!

you shallnt play it

[hot egret]

Any updates?

[cold kestrel]

People! I hear you! I am still working on the map, don't worry! I will soon show some screenshots for you!

[median gull]

I saw your buildings on the unofficial mapping discord, and gotta tell you that: Your work is amazing! You put so much love and detail into everything on the map, not only the buildings! You make the whole area looks alive and super detailed, way better than vanilla. Remember not to rush it, take your sweet time and make more of the amazing buildings and other stuff! I really love your work and dedication to this project 👏👏👏

Can't wait to see what you've cooked for us 😋

[median gull]

Also, remember when we talked about adding a police station? Is the idea still possible? (It's 100% up to you, I am just curious if you want to)

[cold kestrel]

It is already added.

Progress

[median gull]

I must have some memory problems then

[cold kestrel]

@median gull

[median gull]

I love the one with a car wreck 🔥

Will it have special loot?

[hushed pawn]

they look fantastic

[median gull]

The diner is very good too 💪

I love all of them to be honest

[median gull]

?

[cold kestrel]

Nope

[median gull]

aawh

[surreal python]

Car wrecks are cool! It would be super cool if you add some barns or garages with abandoned cars, like this:

[jovial tapir]

Can I have a link to your discord server? @cold kestrel

[cold kestrel]

Sure.

Just open one of my map's steam page, you'll see it

[jovial tapir]

Alright!

[jovial tapir]

It says that the link is expired🫤

[cold kestrel]

Weird. Let me try.

[median gull]

Can I get one too? 🥺

[cold kestrel]

Progress

[hushed pawn]

Love this, what tile pack is that?

[cold kestrel]

Melos

[hushed pawn]

Thought so, looks beautiful 😄

My only suggestion about it is that the roof should be completed in one continuous process. This is done for structural integrity, prevents weather damage and all that

[cyan wing]

no embed perms </3

[heavy crest]

Man you could almost just post the screenshots of the buildings and that is it, these are so captivating, using a real life reference and then making them in such a voxel/pixelated style that PZ has really makes them blend between simple video game buildings to actual art, so interesting when you think about the fact you're using real life details like a boat being in someone's grarge and then making it accessible via the game, kinda like a GMOD map or something. Really beautiful work dude!

[dark horizon]

Finally, a good looking under construction building

[fiery mantle]

was wading through this channel for I am interested.
And I gotta admit, this elementary school's overall design hits my nostalgia bone.
Born and raised in the midwest USA (NOT KENTUCKY!!!), and being born in the late 90s, I went to an Elementary much like this one.

Anyhoo, GREAT JOB WITH THIS!!!

[cold kestrel]

Progress

[sleek stump]

beautiful stuff

they should honestly hire you for the map making

this is some great stuff matey

[cold kestrel]

They had already talked with me. I can't be in their team because I am too young as it states the labor laws or something like that

[median gull]

Maybe in the future??

[cold kestrel]

Yes, I can message them in the future

[median gull]

That's cool

[cinder sapphire]

You have a bright future ahead of you, legit. 🙂 keep going

[cyan lotus]

That’s incredible, I absolutely love the attention to detail. As someone who grew up in Louisville KY I always keep an eye out for accuracy of locations. Obviously PZ isn’t spot on but it’s generally right idea about the cityscape. Lots of rural spots are also generally pretty similar. Love this project, can’t wait to see more of it come to life! 🍻

[cobalt flare]

I don't know why no one reacted to this trailer.
So I will say it, Muldraugh looks even better now! Great atmosphere, AMAZING buildings and of course, God level of detail. With some help from @hushed pawn and @craggy galleon, the town got even prettier and better!
Amazing work dude, I can't wait for the release 🍻

[hushed pawn]

I have no involvement with this project

I am simply a pleasant observer

[median gull]

I would say that you helped with some fixes.

[fiery mantle]

First Muldraugh, next the entire USA!!! - the madman behind this astounding project, possibly.

But in all honesty, this looks sick af. Can't wait to try it out.
This gonna be for B41? Or B42?

[median gull]

It's not me who should answer this question, but I guess it will be released for b41 at the launch and then MAYYBE It will get updated to b42.

[sleek stump]

this is so exicting

these houses have so much character in them! its honestlu so exciting

[cold kestrel]

Progress

[cold kestrel]

It's gonna be for the B41 version. When devs release the new tools - I will transfer this map to B42 version.

Glad our infrastructure has changed so little that you can recreate an entire town in 2025 with assets that are suppose to look like things from the early 90s

[sage urchin]

The amount of detail here is insane

Probably a done to death compliment but still

You look at something like this and compare it to Muldraugh now

[cold kestrel]

Happy 9th May, the day the evil was defeated!

[prisma jasper]

any ideas on implementation of a gun store/hunting store?

i took a look and it doesnt seem like there are any directly in muldraugh in present time

[cold kestrel]

I am recreating Muldraugh as it is in real life.

[prisma jasper]

i understand, im asking if there'll be solutions to balancing even if the real life location in present time lacks the amenity

[cold kestrel]

There will be no gun or hunting store

Because there's no such store in Muldraugh

[prisma jasper]

i asked because i wanted to know if you were shooting for full gameplay or full realism

full realism will make it very neat, and make it so where we have to leave to find large caches of weapons, and ammo and farming supplies

any thoughts of adding lore?

[cold kestrel]

Guns are used to be spawned in wardrobes, so they will be found easily. Farming supplies are easy to find, there are some residentials with a little gardens with them, so it would be easier.

[cold kestrel]

There are already some lore in some places so it wouldn't be an empty model town

[prisma jasper]

great to know! very excited to play this when it comes out

[sleek stump]

this looks so damn beautiful bro

I am very impressed and excited

to try this out when the mod comes out

[cyan wing]

official dev mappers would never include this much variety

soo curious to see what the interiors of each house looks like

[stone dune]

what is the last building?

[cold kestrel]

Offices

[stone dune]

ah

[wide drift]

so excited

for this

[jaunty granite]

this is awesome when it comes out ill use the irl google map of the city to find stuff

[cold kestrel]

Some stuff didn't fit in, but google maps still can help you in some places!

[jaunty granite]

ah alright!

also are the interiors of the houses just the vanilla layouts ?

ik this may sound silly given the shapes of them

[cold kestrel]

Interiors are mostly vanilla mixed with custom tiles. Every house is unique and not just a box house

[jaunty granite]

ahhh i see

very nice!

i was having a thought that if i ever made a irl recreation of a town, i would use real estate websites to try and figure out interiors for most houses

[cold kestrel]

There are already over 160 residentials made from a scratch. There are not really much of open interiors in such websites, the only building made in every singe detail is Backstreet Cafe, thanks to google maps with screenshots from the inside

[jaunty granite]

oh okay i see !

still very cool stuff cant wait for this to come out

will it be for b42 and b41 respectively?

[cold kestrel]

Both. But firstly B41, there are no official tools for B42 yet

[jaunty granite]

ahh i see

[cold kestrel]

There are currently only modded editors to make maps for B42, but I don't want to risk getting my map bugged because of another patch

[jaunty granite]

yeah thats completely fair

better to be safe then sorry 👍

Writing this, because a lotta people got mad AT THE ORIGINAL CREATORS for protecting their property (maps) from being stolen. There have been recently a situation, where one dude reuploaded maps for B42 (from B41) and got DMCA strike for it for 3 times. I want to put an explanation, even I don't have to, but for your knowledge by important points of sense.

1. Respect intellectual property. Dude got someone's old-ass map and reuploaded it updated for B42 - he gotta ask the author's permission first. If he didn't got a permission - author gets every single right to put a DMCA strike on it. Steam’s Workshop rules, and broader EULA terms respect the intellectual property, so you should too.
2. Don't threat the original creators. They created a map for you, so be respectful to their work. Your threats won't repair your broken save nor speed up the import to B42 from B41. The only one who to blame is reuploader, who broke the law and had to delete the stolen asset you were using.
3. The current B42 Tools are not official and there are a lotta risks of getting bugs and other problems. We, mappers, have to wait for the official ones if we want to create a good and stable map.
4. Even if the mapping is free and we don't get money from it - it is still a theft of intellectual property.
5. Art is art, it's still a property. And you can't speed up the art, it takes the time it requires.
   Please, keep calm and carry on waiting for the official and original release of maps.
   Love you!

[dark horizon]

Someone stole and got in trouble for it and now people are mad they can’t have their bootleg B42 map? The guys deserves it, almost every creator needs you to ask permission before you copy anything from them, it’s kinda common sense when it’s at the bottom of every mod page.

[tall jetty]

You're either confusing and mixing up terms by mistake, or you're deliberately using sophistry

It is not reuploading, it is called "port" or "fork". This is purely a voluntary update of another author's work with authorship intact. The purpose is to allow the mod to be used on newer versions and allow it to live further

This is very respected outside of PZ mapper community, especially in rimworld

Say, on the creator side. Why won't coders ever throw dramas and tantrums over the use of their code? Why do they voluntarily share it and help each other? How are you creators worse than coders?

[cold kestrel]

Taking someone else's work, change one thing and put it on workshop - still breaking Steam Workshop rules and EULA terms.
If you get a permission from the original creator - do whatever you want.

[tall jetty]

You still don't get the point

I'll leave it to you then

[cold kestrel]

I don't get the point why Rimworld is mentioned

[mortal lake]

rimworld

rim ur mom

WAIT

oh shit

im so sorry

that came out wrong

please forgive me

[cold kestrel]

[dark horizon]

An unauthorized port of the map, I’m 99% sure the creator would port the map themself. Just because your favorite dev doesn’t port the map within the first month of a beta doesn’t mean they never will and you have to take the matters into your own hands.

[dark horizon]

If the owner of the code shares it freely, then it’s free use and anyone that ASKS can use it. Coders help each other because it’s not a man eat man world for coding, aka, it’s nice and keeps the coding community alive.
I’m 99% sure that the guy who “forked” the maps never asked at all if they can, because if they did there wouldn’t have been a DMCA.

[tall jetty]

You say nasty things behind a good man's back. I personally contacted guy who updates the maps, the authors did not respond to messages

[dark horizon]

Because they may have ignored them because they did not want the port to happen.

[tall jetty]

So you're promoting jerk behaviour of ignoring people?

Idk, in my country you're a dick if you know about a personal message and don't respond to it

[dark horizon]

People ignore messages online for various reasons, not because they’re a dick, reasons like: scamming, malware, spam, or unwanted messages.

He may have ignored the message because he thought it was spam/unwanted.

Plus he was perfectly capable of porting the map himself, he didn’t need the other person to do it.

Plus he obviously didn’t want someone else to port it for him, hence the DMCA.

And the original owner was most likely waiting for official tools, as per every other map developer, which is very understandable.

[ruby heron]

“Perfectly capable of porting”

doesnt
Ok man

You gotta understand, most people are angrier with the bricking of their saves

Theres not a lot of documentation thats legible to people who dont create mods on how to remove a map from their save after its been integrated already

It took me nearly 3 hours to fix it myself with little experience modding already

Because nobody told anyone where to go to fix it as soon as it became an issue

If the map creators want to hold onto their work until they can touch it up themselves, thats fine

But they need to make that apparent in their mod description rather than just saying “ill update it later” and passing that off as enough

Most people see a mod on the workshop that looks cool and download it without batting an eye to the creator or if its a port

Should they? Yeah, probably, but thats only because they should be more supportive, not because they should be worried that in 2 weeks time they wont be able to play their save anymore

This is just another fumble on everyones part that directly hurts the playerbase as per usual

This really should not be an issue

If you dont WANT to update your mods for b42 right out the gate, thats fine

But if someone else does and they ask for permission, which you ignore, and then get mad when they go and update a map that hasnt been touched in three years

Thats just embarrassing

Anyway, rant over

Stop bricking our saves because we dont have the time to research every mod we download in a 300 item long list

[dark horizon]

Maybe the dev had other reasons to ignore the port guy asking permission, plus I don’t know if the porter had asked beforehand. Also, me talking about ignoring messages I’m there was me misreading the message, the guy I was arguing with said he dm’ed the porter if I interpret it correctly.

I’m just a bit thrown off that people are mad that an unauthorized port was removed. I get the save corruption, I’d be mad too, but getting mad at the original creator isn’t the thing to do.

[tall jetty]

You got it correctly first time, mod authors didn't responded to porters messages

[tall jetty]

For me it is more of a personal thing. Why you would be such a dick when everyone could win?

[dark horizon]

It’s just defending your personal projects, which is entirely fine, I support the dev in his decision to defend his property. But I also understand save bricking frustration.

[sonic bridge]

i hate that this even needs to be said

also just learned about this project, it looks like a lot of hard work. AMAZING job. the tireless nights you probably have gone through definitely look so worth it.

[terse plume]

I have no stake in any of this but want to offer my opinion cuz I'm bored and just read a buncha this 1. If you ignore a guy asking for a good ahead and he does it after waiting at least he waited you can't really be mad at that 2. While I get the want to keep your stuff yours when you don't maintain or deal with your stuff anymore people should have the right to do whatever they like with it unless told otherwise or a update is in the works but should still get a notice before being striked down 3. Modding is at its best when people share and use others ideas and even code we wouldn't have some of the best mods today if it wasn't for the modding community working together and helping each other out at least in small ways 5. and last thing someone was talking about bricking saves im sorry but that's user error 99% of times every mod is a risk to your save so testing is the best way to prevent anything happening to your save and map mods probably shouldn't be added or removed mid game

[tall jetty]

That feeling of pride when someone used your code, because it was good. Something copyright happy people won't understand

[cold kestrel]

stfu and wait for my posts

I appreciate what people have said

will this mod be compatible with your maldraugh remake map once you release it?

[agile grail]

yeah its only going to be there if on the market and there are other sites too like redfin or realtor.com, but google is sometimes just the better way to go for floor plans especially older homes , 50's,70's styles , a lot of browns,mustards, wood panelled walls lol, hunter green was also real big for the interiors but usually for newer construction homes very late 80's

It's a visual trick

tl:dr, isometry trick

But how can you put a full tile here... I shall never know the way

[craggy galleon]

What exactly are you curious about? I might explain some

[tall jetty]

He wonders why it looks like tile is lifted above the ground

I must say, it looks very convincing. It's hard for me to see the catch.

[dark horizon]

ktorr is using black magic to raise the tiles...

[tall jetty]

All tiles are 2d textures slapped on top of each other, creating illusion of 3d

This whole game is optical trick

[craggy galleon]

I know, I made these illusion tiles 😉 But I did not read the full conversation, so now I know what the question was.
Yes.. its an illusion. The white brick half wall is actually a a floor tile.

man I kinda wish this map was in B42

There's unofficial map tools and they're more than enough to make stable port to b42

It is not like tools from devs are SO official, they literally ripped tool and adapted it for pz from someone else

I've been talking to BuchoJeffe who is porting maps, and I'm playing most of his ports. There's very little bugs, and they're caused by lack of source world files (only creator has them). Maps with source files are ported perfectly

[zealous geyser]

Be aware, the map had gotten stolen today. Just a reminder: don't use the stolen assets, otherwise your save will be broken after the original author will put a DMCA strike.

[tall jetty]

Is that b42 port?

[fiery mantle]

I just went through the comments section on that stolen port...

Genuinely shameful how peeps are bashing poor Ktorr2 there...
Those REDACTED people should show more respect. I didn't see them spending almost a year making a map mod.

Ktorr2 and anyone else who worked on the B41 version have every right to DMCA strike on that port. It's their pride and joy, not this REDACTED who made a half-baked port.

Anyhoo, I hope everyone's having a good day?

[cold kestrel]

Yep

Louisville 1993…

[vernal mirage]

that'd be twice the size of the current map 😭

[fiery mantle]

Dear Ktorr2. Good job so far.
But silly question..
Supposing you finish all the vanilla towns and LV.
Would a roads revamp be a possibility in the far future? Am curious.

[cold kestrel]

The connection between WP and Muldraugh - most likely

[latent hawk]

Lv revamp would be a mind numbing task of herculian proportion

The airport itself is longer than muldraugh

[vernal mirage]

it'd be very cool though

[latent hawk]

yes

[vernal mirage]

i mean you wouldn't necessarily have to retain louisville's scale, it would just have to be more accurate to the real shape of Louisville

i made this in about 5 minutes in paint so it's gonna be crap

[vernal mirage]

and then maybe you'd push iroquois park and the surrounding suburbs more down towards the direction of the airport as they're laterally parallel on a real world map, just add more suburbs in general and expand downtown a bit

[vernal mirage]

like the yellow bits could just be the normal louisville housing and then the red would be upperclass nicer homes

[cold kestrel]

nah I won't make LV 1993

btw got sick at the most unexpected moment, so the development kinda freezed

• Gas pumps at Diner are working now
• My nerves
• Added missing LEP poles at Walker-Road
