Blackshots Manhattan

Description
Manhattan, NY
(standalone Map)
Updates: Please read the change notes for more informations.

WIP / Early Version! Please give me Feedback in the comments.
This is my first project and I am still learning how to use the tools. If you have any tips for me, please write me.
Many thanks also to "Daddy Dirkie Dirks" for the "Mapping 101" video tutorials.

The map of Manhattan differs from Louisville in its narrow streets and alleys and the houses that are close together. The apartments are often very small and only have the most basic furniture. However, there are numerous shops close together.

It is my own, free version of Manhattan. For gameplay reasons, the map differs from reality. I must also admit that I have never been to Manhattan myself and use Google and Google maps to create it.

Hint: Deactivate this mod, if you want to play vanilla!

Recommendation for game settings:
Still balancing! I currently recommend following sandbox settings:
  • Zombie -> Zombie Count: "Normal" or lower
  • Zombie -> Zombie Lore -> Player Spawn Area: "Inside the room" (vanilla bug, doesn't work atm)
  • Loot -> Loot Rarity: "Extremely Rare" or lower
  • Vehicle -> Vehicle Spawn Rate: "Low"

Process:

  • Chelsea (not finished),
  • Central Park
  • Subway network (planned)
  • Higher buildings and basements (both B42 features) (planned)
  • Islands around Manhattan (planned)
  • more mod support: functional elevators (needs to be checked), custom car types spawns (planned), water zones (needs to be checked), ...

Mod support:
Extra integrated mod support or mod recommendation.
  • '87 Ford B700/F700 Trucks by KI5 -> school bus spawn zones
  • Gun's Elevator mod* (Recommendation)
*Some elevators in Chelsea don't work with the mod yet, but I'll fix it with the next update.

@Huellas: I think you have convinced me and I will add the WTC, the Twin Towers, to my map.

@Banana Phone: Sorry, but at the moment there are no plans for an integrated map in vanilla Kentucky. In general it is no problem to add a map to the vanilla map, but I would have to make some adjustments (scripts, ...). My main goal remains a standalone map for now.

@Captain_Goose200K: It will still take a few months. Besides RL, I am currently encountering the following problems: The unofficial B42 map editor doesn't work with biomes the way I expect it to. An important vanilla biome has been disabled for reasons unknown to me, I'll have to consider creating a custom biome script for Manhattan. I've also been experiencing frequent crashes of the unofficial editors for a while now.

How long in till the map would be finished? @Blackshot

Are there any plans to offer a version of this mod that adds this map into the main game? Preferably next to the existing map on the left side would be my preference as the top, right, and bottom are all taken by other large map mods I really enjoy. I understand this is absolutely not lore friendly or immersive to drop manhattan in the middle of KT, but I mean it would be really fun.. and I tend to think of the game as a fictional place anyway. I like to populate it with as many modded locations that are functional and unique as I can find. I know nothing about what it would take to do this so I have no expectations, just sharing my desire for it. Thank you for the awesome mod!

WTC should be both towers!

No 1993 Manhattan would be complete if the towers are absent.

Awesome project, will follow it to see how it goes.

I'm trying to create a mix of 1993, modern Manhattan, and my own version of Manhattan. It's extremely time-consuming to research the blueprints for every building and then find the ones from 1993. If I did that everywhere, I'd never finish. Also, sometimes there are gameplay reasons that require me to deviate—either because it's not possible or for balancing reasons. For example: There are no diagonal walls; even if I create my own, they wouldn't work well with the game's other features.

With the WTC, I'm not sure what to do yet. Should I build the two towers or the memorial and the OWTC?

I don't think I'd have time for a separate Discord. But I could create a separate post here for update news, which interested parties could subscribe to.
