Hi All,
After many months of slow but steady progress I have finished my first map for Far Cry 5.
"You're an operative sent in to free a small village taken over by a small rebel cell hidden in the mountains of Papua, Indonesia."
My inspiration drew from the small mountainous villages that trainee pilots have to fly to transport people and deliver good to increase their flight hours (saw it on a documentary). The runways were always precariously short and often cloud covered. I felt this would be a unique and dramatic setting for a map since Far Cry 5 came out.
I started it when there was no DLC out and have now just finished, I am admittedly slow, but also a lot of work has gone into it, as with many other mappers in the community. The DLC content helped a lot too so going slow worked out in the end.
I designed it, as usual for me, with the natural settings that Far Cry does so well; epic natural open spaces and replay-ability. I used a few generic objects, but just didn't need many for my ideas. I'm not 100% sure with the difficulty so anyone that tries it, please provide any constructive feedback on anything you'd like. I'm happy to make further adjustments.
Also I designed the main area in the Village with a possible multiplayer conversion in mind. Any ideas let me know what you think.
Exploration is rewarded and there different ways to approach in each situation. Have fun!

looks delicious - im on map 2 also a poker faced/paced mapper now ")
maybe add some omni lights but you may not want ot overdue its fx if that's not u bag baby... id fx the map fully and add corpse displayed in a less than friendly way - think of Rambo (new one)
6 jeeps/ 5 jeep 1chop and far edit the backgrounds with roxx mtns (platform out the edge to achieve this off map glitch for far views) maybe do it coop with ai default indobru's … ahh man its such a perfecty fit map and im sure in the game it looks even beeter… wish we could have a map share site and or a way for platform to play with pc realtime itd be laggy at first but its a start huh? anyways im about to go into my maps and dream about kicking all your a$$es again, more blood, more tech, more sikk, I do make reality based like above and its not as eassy as one would think.. please post bigger pix better lighting theys hard to see man! but who am I to say anything right ? cant enev get google pix to roll over most of the time.. again tasty map ")
Thanks for the comments guys. I may make a multiplayer version using the village, but yeah it'd be good to make a multiplayer map as well. Need to get some ideas rolling.
Thanks for the feedback Karr2g66, I pretty much pushed the budget to it's limits already, but I did have ambition to make it co-op at one point, plus yeah I wanted more corpses and blood around for the narrative, but the budget struck once again.
The screenshots are mostly a teaser of different areas, but there's alot I don't show for people to find when they play it. Sorry I know its not too well lit either. If you click on the pictures it makes them bigger. I might release more screens after it's been out for a bit longer.
I like the cross-platform sharing idea? What platform are you on?
Thanks again for your feedback and I look forward to seeing what you make too.
i've another idea - global ps4 remote mapping- allows any user on/near earth to remote map on a rental box or a friends box/host box - FREE MAPPING - you'd have to use a shared psn if no psn, also may be a good way to coop maps, I noticed I was able to pull a map save off my sons box (pre updates), still have it on usb stik,
but now I cant find the option to copy to usb... and/or one ubi's upd8s squashed that capability.. or sony does not like the option for security/liability purposes? or im an idiot? could be all of the above... forget remote playing tho- its waay to laggy, ive tried and its like playing a few milliseconds in the past!! every shot misses and you die a lot..
im ps4 here are some linx below, not clipping vids here cuzzits your bag baby!!

-disclaimer- no one likes me here for valid reasons (all the tumors are true) so now im getting dislikes from a nest of mites in turkey/Europe, most likely as retribution to my pro-ubi / anti-whinea$$ retaliation postings.. summarized it feels great to meet fellow mappers with clean slate! This community keeps me outdoors whilst they sip penny royal tea ") mostly cuz im bad")
is ok tho cuz I found love on the fcv ps4 commune and my days mappin are restricted/limited.. now I make bucket listed maps ")

I started with instincts and predator on my modded xbox offline over 18years ago, along with doom wads and quake earth over 20 years ago, highly seasoned my friend ") and yet still I cant navg8 a touch screen and barely know enough about cpu's to key my idle.
Yeah I'm a bit dubious around stream playing too with others, but I'd love to able to co-op map for sure. Timing wouldn't be so much of an issue.
I added your youtube to take a look. Nice to see you've been with the community fora long while too. I'm only here on and off to post as I'm slow and dont get the time as I used to. But I read a lot of what people are up to as I date back from the Far Cry Instincts era.
You certainly have done alot! I've always love map editors too and game design so it's great to see these communities grow. I don't get touch pads well either! I'll take some time to check out your maps too.
Thanks very much for posting the video here Fallen, it's great!
Thanks for the compliment DrShakez, that's where I started on Far Cry.
