this map is a little too flat

finally get to recreate grand tour: sand job

Does this map have a dynamic recon ops version? =)

I see. Good luck with finding it then, and again, thanks for the prompt reply

@nuttcase indeed, but the hard part is working out which element of the config, or the map itself, relates to those grid coords.

I know nothing about map making, so take with a grain of salt, but I think the issue would be resolved if that "1000" line were shifted off the map in one direction or the other, ideally shifted East, such that the entire map is west of that "1000" line. That way all coords on the map itself begin with 3 digits. Appreciate the quick response, and the work to fix it.

@Nuttcase and @Macbain, noted, but unsure how to fix that, I'll check with other modders and hopefully put out an update soon.

To reiterate what Nuttcase said, the coordinates in the north eastern corner swap over in a weird way. e.g. they go from. This shift definitely happens at the 000 line up north.
We had some issues with memory leaks as well but this might have been a mod issue.

My unit used this map for an OP today, and we came across an unusual issue with the GPS coordinate system. The fact that the map changes from 999 to 1000 in the middle of the map messes with users trying to switch between 6 and 8 digit coords as the 6 and 8 digit grids aren't aligned. We were using the DAGR from ACE, which is 8 digits, but the map/cursor is 6 digits. If you put a coordinate in that requires you to cross that line, you can't put in the leading "1" properly. If you put in 0100, the gps will take you to 0100, 10000 km away, not 10100. And there is no way to enter the leading 1 into the 8 digit coord DAGR to make it take you to the proper place on the map.

Copy that, I will let my mod team know. Thanks!

You can absolutely re-pack this map if you would like, and that goes for everyone who would like to, my only request would be to keep my name as author and the tips section unaltered.

This map is awesome! Would it be kosher if my unit re-packed it into our Aux Mod? If so, would you have any conditions that you would like us to follow? Feel free to DM me if you prefer as well, again great work!

this map deserves dunes and uphills just like the real life Richat structure. This one is way too flat and this not as interestig as it should be.

this was definitely atlantis

bro what does people even use this terrain for, is cool tho

Running dope ops on it, thanks

"100 years ago, a satellite detected an object under the sands of the Great Desert... An expedition was sent."

Good work.

Bro thats literally Atlantis

Really well made map! I think it would be cool if you added the nearby town of Ouadane (possibly a scaled-down version of it) as well as a few roads. Otherwise, the map runs very well and there is nothing wrong with it.

what @ouchthathurt said. please fix.

@Ketzl is it possible to add more dust effects for vehicles/aircraft on this map? At the moment (and apologies if this is a mod issue my end) it doesn’t seem like any is kicked up

Isn't this map way too flat compared to the actual real life location?

@Ketzi: Nice map. I used your map in the 2nd half of the below video.

@game Mum Brenwen Giving the AI specific and frequent waypoints with shift click should hopefully help them deal with the rocky terrain better. The sandy desert is has a slower speed coefficient than the rocks so they may try to veer up-slope but with frequent chained waypoints this is manageable.

An amazing map, though the lack of roads is a tad annoying for AI pathing. Any suggestions on how to add roads that the AI will actually use?

@tpm feel free to send a link, I can put it up in the media collection

Nice looking map, I will download it and take look. If I get time, I might make a YouTube video featuring it 🙂

people think this is atlantis cause the sand patterns look like it was swept up by a tsunami or something its cool

i'll take you up on that

@pilgrim if you find any volunteers I will make any and all the maps you want

jeez someone needs to pull the trigger and make a mod with the all the units and vehicles from that game that would be huge!!!

@pilgrim the first to correctly guess the inspiration. I've got a mission on it with Gaalsien bases scattered across the map but its quite buggy

getting Karak vibes from this where is my land Aircraft carrier?

Jimmy Corsetti approved.

So...sandworms?

I've been here back in 2003. Looks just like it.

Don't forget to bring your AK! lol. Tuareg fighters roam all over the place out there,

Amazing Map, we need a version of this but with some towns and villages. I could require the mod version of the Western Sahara cDLC to get the buildings and other middle eastern assets from there ;)

GJ

IS THIS ATLANTIS!?!?!?!?

@God'sWarrior Not sure why that would have happened, I've not updated the map since the 12th of May, so something else is what is messing with it here.

rest in peace atlantis

i made a map on here and went to play it the next day it said assets in the pack had been deleted? whats up with that

no it's 110% atlantis

The education system has failed us. What a beautiful region.
It was not fucking Atlantis tho. wtf are y'all smoking?

this was atlantis. source: my past life memories

Fuck yall mean atlantis LOL

Definitely the site where Atlantis once stood.

This is Atlantis resting place

I think the map is bugged I walked without Rhythm but the Shai-Hulud still got me
