Momo Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Since the next epoch patch will use my map, here are some short words about it: Napf Island is a terrain based on a region Switzerland, however, it is highly fictioinalized.The map is 20.4km*20.4km big and is using a terrain cell size of 10 metres. Satellite and Mask image have a resolutiuon of one pixel per Meter. The north is rather flat and is the home of two big cities, while the south is dominated by high mountains and a lot of areas there are only accessible by dirt roads or even on foot. The current state of the map is the result of 2.5 years of work and will be almost finished (or maybe finished if I invest a night) for the Epoch patch. So if you tried the version on the BI-Forum, it is highly outdated at this point. Some screens to give you an idea of how it looks (note the view distance in the screens is much higher than in any DayzMod): Capital City of Luzern: http://imageshack.com/a/img834/4333/hvx5.jpg The rather flat agriculture fields in the north: http://imageshack.com/a/img826/9056/f9nd.jpg The Dam: http://imageshack.com/a/img197/7646/9t4e.jpg A small farm somewhere far off of any civilization: http://imageshack.com/a/img202/7431/wwij.jpg Credits: - My Clanmate Flattermann who becomes more and more a Co-Author - Hotzenplotz from URR-Clan for his help with Visitor and Photoshop - AngryInsects-Team for Pre-Beta-Testing and moral support (visit www.angryinsects.de) - Bushlurker and others for many helpful posts in the Editing-Section of the bi-Forums - shezan74 for WorldTools - Mondkalb for his buildings - Marseille77 for the GermanWaysigns Addon. - BIS for making Arma2 Known Bugs: - Ability to drive and or walk through some of the bigger ponds - Small part of Airstrip on the northern Airfield is out of place - Bridges don't like some OperationArrowhead Vehicles - Steel Bridges are looking destroyed from distance - Some buildings are standing too high/ too deep in the ground unrealPANDA, ispan55, robin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Just a brilliant, well thought out and put together map on an epic scale. Lots of good places of interest and I've even seen people using boats on my server now !. The new buildings and the fact that there are a lot more enterable buildings is the icing on the cake !

General FinnBat Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Off all the Epoch maps collection I have hosted, this is the best map in all aspects. Players like it very much and not only that it gives so good fps in game. Special and warm thanks to bringing this to Epoch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterking3000 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hey momo, I need the maximal y-coord from you're map. For example chernarus has 15360. I need the maximal Y-Coord to convert the database coords to ingame coords. hope you read this and answer as fast as you can. best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cen Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I believe he said somewhere around 25600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momo Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hi and sorry for the long answer time, I needed a break from the project. Maximal coordinates should be 20480 (because the map is 20480m long). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisel Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 So I recently rented a server from verthosting.com. I'm running Napf and they don't have the Napf map images in their CP. When I asked why, this was their response: As far as I know, we don't currently have the map tiles for Napf to display, unfortunately, as we aren't aware of any that have been released publically. So, are the "map tiles" available so vert can add the actual in game map to their CP? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momo Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Ehm sorry but I don't get what you mean by "map tiles" or what would have to be released in order to make them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisel Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 verthosting.com can't make the admin cp map for napf until you release the map file I guess? Not sure tbh... Can you contact verthosting.com and send them the in game map file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flattermann Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 what do they need, the .pew? the actual map file, the .pbo is part of epoch.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kassquatch Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 its more than just that file.and secondly, if I was momo, I wouldnt just give a business stuff so they can profit off it. especially since this was such a long hard map to build.They contacted me for my map tiles, but only offered 50% off services, and were unwilling to do anything past that (I asked for a small like 30 player dayz epoch server sponsored by them, with all their tags and everything, essentially promoting themselves by getting a free service in return. They responded with 50% and said they couldnt do better. I responded back that 50% off something I don't need, and end up having to pay someone for the work I did so they can make more money) they didnt respond back.It seems they either don't know how to do the work themselves, or are unwilling to pay money towards a business feature. Kinda shady if you ask me.Im not saying anything about their hosting. So dont think that I am. They are probably a great amazing hosting service. Just seems like the behind the scenes stuff is..a bit underdeveloped.Once again, do not take this as bashing towards verthosting. just as info.

Once again, do not take this as bashing towards verthosting. just as info. Should Momo charge the Epoch devs for including his map in their mod? Should Momo then pay BI for making money off of their resources with their tools etc.? Where would it end? This doesn't hurt the provider. Napf is in epoch for free, vert hosts epoch. People want to play Napf. I have no CP map to help admin my server. Seems no map ultimately hurts the players. Vert still has my money. Within my scope of control, I can either continue with no map or play a map other than Napf. I can't control anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesnt even come close to what I am saying. momo isnt trying to make money off of the work of others. he did it as a fan of the game. The company is trying to make money off of the work of others with no or minimal financial cost and no work themselves because they don't know how to do it, or dont want to, to benefit themselves financially. Because, it's there, (I know because i made http://www.kassquatch.com/napfmap/) Thats where my problem lies. Its like licensing. To use someone else's work, you pay for it, in which you use for your business. Why do you think so many other programs have "free for private - $ for commercial use" or its like me charging for people to download the Napf map in which I didnt make or buy in the first place or include it in a mappack and charge for that. Once again, verthosting may be a great host (I dont know I dont rent from them) im just expressing what I have had with them so far on the business side. (we have completely got off topic here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisel Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I know all about licensing, I negotiate and manage software contracts for a major university. In which case Momo used BI tools and resources to make Napf, so it stands to reason if he made money from it, something should trickle back to BI. It can't be right for some parties to make money from others work and not others. If Vert were to pay Momo, wouldn't your same logic demand Momo to pay BI? My point is this. Momo made the map for use in dayz. He did it for free as a fan of the mod. Why now would he start to charge someone for use of the in game map for control panel use? The control panel benefits the server admins and ultimately the players. The provider isn't going to make any more money by including the cp map... They already have our money and we are without a CP map. Anyway, I appreciate your position on your intellectual properties, if you want to charge for something you've made by all means do so if that is fair and not taking advantage of someone else's work in the process. With that, I find it in bad taste to try to sway someone else's generosity due to a bad experience you've had in your attempts at compensation. I think if Momo has the capacity to make a map as good as Napf, he would also have the capacity to decide for himself if he wants to help someone else by allowing use of his in game map. At any rate my questions are for Momo, if he's willing to work with vert to get this map in their CP. If so great. If not I'm totally cool with that as well. That's my sole purpose here. I don't wish to argue with anyone. peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flattermann Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 It would simply be cool if you could provide us with the necessary information on how to do the maptiles / tell us what they need instead of increasing the workload ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By 'map tiles', we mean the PNG files that make up what you see on the map at all the different resolutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
