This is fantastic man! I had a buddy that tried making a map but didn’t have the right knowledge to keep going and he burnt out on trying to figure this out himself. These videos are much needed and will do others a lot of good.
Thanks for your Tutorials and all that Help! One thing I would like to mention: Beginners should know that making a DayZ map takes about 4000 hours of work, even if it's much smaller than Chernarus. That's 2 years of full-time Job that you'll spend in your spare time. Every custom map we play (because they're good quality and kind of look good) has taken way more than 4000 hours of work. But I've nearly never heard anyone talk about this important information in a tutorial. I think it's very important so that beginners know what a huge project they're slipping into and that their map won't be even close to finished in a few months. Aside from this insane amount of work, it's super fun to start making your own towns, rivers, valleys, caves, militaries and other unique things you want to build. Thanks for all your help and effort!
Great video! Just wanted to add a tip from my own experience... If you are like me, your PDrive may not be located on the root directory of your pc. I have two drives, my main C drive and a secondary X drive. My PDrive is located on my secondary drive, which changes the path to my project files. Specifically, in the layers config, the path references to the DZ assets are relative, assuming the PDrive is on the root dir. If yours is not, then you will need to update the DZ path references to the full paths in your particular case. Also, the path to the 'picture' (MapLegend) will need to be changed to the full path as well. Hope this helps!
Hello, Do you think World creator would work for DayZ, the software is on sale and I like the look of it, wandering what you think or if you know of anyone using it
Hello friend, great tutorial, one of the most complete. I have a problem uploading my map to the server, it references the file "mapname/jd.wrp" and cannot upload that file. Where should I look? all the best.

How different is this process to make a map in Arma 3?
Virtually it’s the same you will just want to use the arma3 tools suite

I believe it could, depending on the heightmap output you may need to convert but there are tools to do so with different formats.

You still stuck? Sorry been busy for a while.
Ive been told not to extract game data that way?

Using dayz tools or mikeros?
