Terrain Latest Topics (2025)

Hello,

I am fairly new to all this terrain building shit and just wanted to see if anyone had some insight as to what isgoing on. I am trying to import some map created in DayZ Editor from a friend and every time i import then, some objects load in the specified areas and some are floating. And it seems like most don't keep rotations either. I have tried them with "relative" and "aboslute" when importing them and nothing seems to fix it. How do i get all objects to align and snap to ground where they need to be when i import them?

So I exported my shape file from QGIS and when I import it into terrain viewer, there are portions that are missing. The shape file is fine but terrain builder isn't reading it properly or maybe because the shapes are not all enclosed, it isn't processing it correctly? Anyone know how I'd fix it?

Good evening everyone,

I have added several additional buildings etc. to the NWA/ Tisy etc.! So far that wasn't a problem, but unfortunately they are somehow inserted twice and I can't find why!

I have created the .map, created the .json and created the mapgrouppos.

In the CFGGameplay I referenced the custom folder of the .json.

Maybe someone has an idea what the problem could be.

Thank you very much

Good afternoon. Tell me, everything was normal with the map.but today I decided to open the last saved file and I get this error

Good afternoon, I am the creator of this mod, namely the Dayz card.I started creating it a little less than a year ago.I want to find out why my card was deleted.I can provide all the data and sources of the map itself, I also care why it is not compatible with Dayz if I created it using Dayz Tools editors.please respond so that I can correct any errors that have occurred that have led to the deletion of my content, thank you.I attach a map of the source heights to the attached files, my map has nothing to do with Martin's map on arma 2....I'm a big fan of that map and decided to create it from 0 but only for Dayz

Hi,

I'm sure this is a very simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer.

I've generated a map to the point it can be put into buldozer. Me and a friend plan to work on it, but how do I share parts/tiles of the map so that he can also edit them? My process of thought is, pass tiles to my friend while I work on others. Once completed, I take the tiles back to restitch them all together again. There may also be an alternative but I don't see a way to simultaneously work on the same map as a whole

Thanks!

Hello Dayz team,

I would like to ask if it would be possible to share the [Terrain Processor] files for creating the electrical wiring that is in the game. It is quite difficult to figure out how to configure it correctly since I cannot find any information about this topic online.

Thank you in advance for your help and response.

Best regards, [KubeloLive]

I'm trying to create a map, and after watching several videos and reading up I've come as far as creating the actual terrain. Next step in the videos is running the data through PBOProject. After some initial problems with some png files, I've come far enough for it to do the binarize, but I get the warning

Map.wrp:validating...
warningP:\temp\Map\Map.wrp:EnvSounds quadtree is uncompressed

and it stops the generation there. I can't find anything on the 'net about this warning/error ... what do I have to do to fix this? I can't even find any file/directory called EnvSounds ... or entries in the config file ...

Help appreciated!

Hello friends, yesterday I uploaded 1.26 I have modified Terrian builer. But there was a problem all the Panel_Concrete_Small_1 objects that had their angle modified now got random rotation which caused that I have to redo all my builds now. I went back to version 1.25 and the problem was saved from 1.26. Thank you. because I'm afraid when you see the update all my underground bunkers will be unusable.Images

Good day.

I am following the tutorial on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KgE25NZ0lc&t=5097s) and have followed all the steps. I created a second map (much smaller) and it gives the same error when I launch Bulldozer.

Banov is the first map inspired by the diverse Slovak landscape, specifically the Banov District and its surroundings. With an area of 256 km², it will keep you occupied all day if you decide to explore it in depth. Banov features 1 city, 35 villages, 2 water reservoirs, 1 large airport, 1 small airport, and many other interesting places and dwellings where the marks of time are evident. As a bonus, we've added special hidden locations throughout the map, and it will depend on your skills and abilities whether you discover them all. Banov means navigating through dense forests, crossing overgrown meadows, trekking through swamps, seeking refuge by wild rivers, all while getting to know the beautiful fauna of our region. You can enjoy panoramic views, search for items and food necessary for survival, but above all, it's a battle for survival as danger lurks at every step. You'll also be challenged by rapidly changing weather, where a sunny day can quickly turn into a heavy downpour. Additionally, Banov is home to four large underground complexes that play a crucial role in the map's storyline. These hidden and deeply concealed complexes add a new dimension and tension to the game, offering various challenges and mysteries that motivate players to explore and collaborate. Uncovering and exploring them is key to progressing in the map's narrative and can reveal important information, supplies, or unexpected dangers. So, be prepared for underground adventures and don't forget to rely on your courage and tactics when investigating them. Inspired by real cities, villages, and forests, you'll find not only beautiful scenery on the map but also safe locations where you can build your base and hide from other players, whether they are survivors without infection or those affected by the infection. Given the dense forests and watercourses on the map, you'll have plenty of options to obtain food. With a bit of skill, starvation will not be your fate. Good luck!! Banov TrailerBanov Discord

The program crashes by itself if I just move the camera too fast. I think it's possible that my computer is too weak. Can you tell me what characteristics are needed for a bulldozer? Personally, I have a gtx 1660, is that not enough?

Pbo Project Map, with the release of update 1.24, I decided to re-develop my map, and after doing some work only in the terrain builder itself, I tried to pack it, but I failed and constantly writes the error that is in the screenshot, which either I did not change anywhere except in the project itself, as and the configs themselves, what could be the problem, please help

Position in place in 75% of cases. But here, with the rotation orientation, 50% of the objects stand up normally, the rest turn in random orders.Basically, those who tossed and turned in the process of mapping move out.

The Iztek map seems to have disappeared off Steam. Anyone know why or if it's coming back? I literally just got our local LAN server setup perfectly and now the map is gone lol.

Does anyone know my map is stretched on two sides and not lined up with the given map frame properties ? It doesn't matter how I import for example QGIS or L3DT, the issue is always the same.

I have been stuck with this issue for months so any help would be appreciated. I even tried a full re-install of Tools.

Hi all,

I created a 20480 x 20480 map using Qgis and TB, everything went ok but AI do not function in the North and loot will now spawn there, the AI act like they are off the map, they just stand and shout at you but do not move or attack.

It seems the area that works is around 15k x 15k, which seems to be roughly chernarusplus size!

Do I have to tell the game somewhere what my mapsize is ??

Any thoughts ?

Thanks

Firstly, thanks for taking the time to read my post and considering helping.

Secondly, I have created a Satmap, Mask & Heightmap in QGIS that are230000 meters by230000 meters, a large map, I am trying to create a map the size of Chenarus. I import mySatmap, Mask & Heightmap into Terrain Builder, add a MapFrame, set my Location Settings, but I am having problems with the Settings I need for the Sampler Settings. The settings I am unsure about given my map size are;

Terrain sampler

Grid Size (m): ?

Cell Size (m): ?

Terrain Size (m): ?

Satellite/Surface (mask) source images

Size (px): ? x ?

Resolution (m/px): ?

Satellite/Surface (mask) tiles

Size (px): ?

Disired overlap (px):

Texture layer

Size (m): ?

If anyone is able to spread some light on these settings and what I need to set them to given my map size it would be much appreciated.

ChatGPT tells me;

Given your map size of 230000 x 230000 and considering the settings for Terrain Sampler, Satellite/Surface (mask) source images, and Texture layer in DayZ's Terrain Builder, here are some approximate guidelines:

Terrain Sampler:

Grid Size (m): This typically represents the overall size of the grid you're working with. For a large map like yours, you might use a grid size that covers the entire map area. For instance, you could set it to 230000 m or slightly larger to encompass the entirety of your map.

Cell Size (m): This refers to the size of individual cells within the grid. For a large map, a smaller cell size might provide more detailed sampling. A value like 1 meter or smaller could be suitable for precision.

Terrain Size (m): This should match the overall dimensions of your map, so it would be 230000 m x 230000 m in your case.

Satellite/Surface (Mask) Source Images:

Size (px): The pixel size depends on the resolution of your source images. If the satellite/surface images are high-resolution, you might have images with dimensions like 230000 x 230000 pixels. However, the actual size in pixels will depend on the resolution of your images and how they align with the map size.

Resolution (m/px): This refers to the ground resolution of your images. It's the real-world distance represented by each pixel in the image. To calculate this, divide the size of your map in meters by the size of the image in pixels. For example, if your map is 230000 meters wide and the image is 230000 pixels wide, the resolution would be 1 meter/pixel.

Satellite/Surface (Mask) Tiles:

Size (px): This should match the size of the source images and their resolution. If your source images are, for instance, 230000 x 230000 pixels, your tiles might be of similar dimensions.

Desired Overlap (px): Overlap helps with blending and consistency between tiles. A value of 10-20% of the tile size in pixels (e.g., 23000 - 46000 pixels for a 230000-pixel tile) could be a starting point for desired overlap.

Texture Layer:

Size (m): This relates to the dimensions of the texture layer you're working with. It should match the overall map size, so in your case, it would be 230000 m x 230000 m.

These settings are approximate and can be adjusted based on the specifics of your project, the resolution of your source imagery, and your desired level of detail. Always consider testing different configurations to find the settings that best suit your project's requirements.

The problem is;

Terrain Sampler:

Grid Size (m) only allows me to choose 8192 x 8192.

Satellite/Surface (Mask) Tiles:

Size (px) only ollows me to choose 2048 x 2048.

I'm having problem with Buldozer. it fails to start on my map, also on Utes. Reinstalling tools and reextracting game data didnt help.
Error message: Can't compile "Game" script module
scripts/3_Game/humanitems.h(5): Multiple declaration of class 'HumanItemBehaviorCfg'

Im running Buldozer with standard parameters: `-buldozer -window -nopause -mod= -profiles=P:\Buldozer -name=Buldozer`

Anyone knows what can be couse of that error ?

I am new to editor and have just made a custom trader and Balota.
I am having issues with some of the props, the trader we initially used had fire barrel's and even after we replaced that trader the barrels still spawn.
2 of the props I added are spawning 1 inside the other after each restart causing players to have to open the door of a hummer 20 times and counting lol. I just replaced the hummer through editor and replaced the .dze file, the prop is still spawning.
Did I do something wrong? How do I fix this issue?

Good Morning All,

I have a unique terrain issue that has been making me crazy for months now and no one seems to want to attempt to point me in the right direction for troubleshooting. I've asked on a few different Map Discords with no response. So here it goes-

This issue only shows up on custom terrains I've made with L3DT standard and Terrain Builder - This does Not effect any of the official DayZ maps or any of the custom steam maps (I have 99% of the DayZ maps, Chiemsee, Namalsk, Deer Isle, Esseker, Banov, etc. installed on my home LAN server and they all work great)

My custom maps, one is 512mx512m the other is 5k x 5k - Both have ~15+ mods installed (DayZ Expansion, Rev Guns, Gebs Fish, etc) and everything works great - sun moon speculars and shadows all perfect, navmesh perfect, custom ground textures with sound effects mapped - perfect..... I really cant find any other issues but this one:

Any light source Other then the Sun or Moon works perfect Except when you look East the Terrain always has a dark shadow - The line is definitely North-South indicated by the compass heading at the top of my screen in the screenshots. This happens regardless if the ground textures are custom or DayZ Vanilla (the rock texture at the river is DayZ vanilla rock PAA).

Notice too that the shadow East issue is Only the Terrain and Not any of the Grass clutter or Objects, as seen in the Truck and Dunes pictures.

The Balota Airfield Screenshots show how the shadows Should look for comparison to Chernarus

Here's a quick Bitchute Video I chopped together showing the issue - I cannot figure out how to attach screenshots to this forum.. ***https://www.bitchute.com/video/s6tasNr3iUfI/

The only hint I may have is that in L3DT standard you cannot make high res light maps - the option is greyed out and the Pro Trial Keys no longer valid- no response from L3DT.... Not sure if that has anything to do with the terrain East shadow. Theres also a script option in L3DT to ' Bake Light Onto Texture' ? Not sure if this would do anything, Any help greatly appreciated as this has had me stumped for months now!

Hi All,

Is it possible to load in community modded buildings from Steam into terrain builder? I feel like i'm missing something.

Thanks in advance, although this part of the forum seems pretty dead so Icould be thanking no one.

The question is:
I have my own map, in which the height of the tirraine is 9000 meters, Zombies AI dont work on this heights, as if there is no navmesh, BUT, it is! Help...
