Igor Nikolaev 511 Posted January 30, 2017 Monument Valley - Old West Map Description:Since my first attempt on creating a map wasn't successful, I've started working on a new, working one map for my Wild West sandbox - Old West. Monument Valley - namesake of a place in USA, Arizona and Utah. It's size is 2048x2048 m. It takes place in the mid 19th century, in a time of Wild West era. Geography:Terrain is mainly consists of desert. Other half of it is mountains and plateau. It will have little towns, farms, villages and also some of the Native American tribes when I'll finish working on a topo relief and flora. Plans: Finish making topographical relief Update new sat map to a high-quality one (very boring and not necessary) Map mask can be changed too, but is good already Add foliage Add buldings and other objects Release it Requirements: Apex DLC CUP Terrains - Core Mattaust Buildings Pack Maybe something more in the future Snapshots: Spoiler These guys here. I need to thank them :D 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope to see this finished! My mission was not too good with FPS because of plenty of objects. Now I'm creating a map to give my sandbox a new freshness!

My previous map didn't make it sadly. But I like this one more, I has more "westernish" feeling :) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also the Salt Lake was a good idea I would have never thought of it and with some post process effect you could make it look more "redish" but if you had FPS issues then don't bother going back, I am sure we will all be glad to see this map make it in arma 3! How much bigger is this map compared to the salt lake? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I suppose your mission description must change :) Quote The world is actually set up on Altis, Almyra. There is a lot of locations. 3 towns, villages, Native Americans tribes and etc. Big canyon is located in the centre of a map. The desert is surrounded with rocks.

Ty :) To be honest, my sandbox is ready, only thing is this map, then we'll see. You know, I've been thinking of some kind of Wild West RP, like life servers, but in old west era. I think it could be really cool! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EO 11225 Posted January 30, 2017 It might create another dependency, but the Iron Front mod has some really interesting assets tucked away in the editor that would/could enhance your project. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

opteryx 1562 Posted January 30, 2017 Interesting terrain, but you need to desaturate the satmap, it looks like an acid trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valken 621 Posted November 6, 2017 The pictures looks fantastic. Really has that old west feel. I was wondering if you would create a winter version later? It does snow in the wild west! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

black_hawk_mw2_87 74 Posted February 19, 2019 Hello, Igor. I commented on your main topic about the wild west project. I was thinking there was no other besides Dusty Roads, but I guess I've been wrong. I read everything here as well, but as I can see, the last comment is pretty old, so I'd like to ask if you're still working on this project and this map as well? Are they finished yet, are they WIP and perhaps you could say something about an eventual release date. I am really interested in your GREAT work and I appreciate all the will, patience and efforts that were necessary for this hard work to come true (at least for you for now). I guess I'm pretty excited for your mod and I can't wait to try it. 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
