Hi there everybody,
As everyone knows, from occasional to confirmed map makers, Far Cry 3 suffers of a lack of variety for static vehicles. Only 1 car and 1 pick up truck, both white.
And I am myself a great fan and great user of vehicles in my maps. So I usually make my own vehicles to use them as standard ones, for example in my map #Red District you can see over 10 of them.
But lately, I've been working in the editor on new ones, only to share with other mappers.
So finally, I have made a template map containing around 35 pre-built custom vehicles.
You have seen some of them in my previous maps, a few are from other mappers, the others ones are totally exclusive.
- We can mention a tram/metro (not my best vehicle ^^), a motorbike, a little boat (zodiac), a snow plow, buses, a fire truck, an ambulance, 2 Humvees, several different models of cars, 4 customized pick up trucks, 2 vans, a lot of trucks, and 4 different semi-trucks. I'm adding to that 10 trailers to use with any semi-truck of your choice, they are all compatible with each other.
Pictures here : http://battlemap.net/forum/custom-ma...dlc-1-ps3#3840
NOTE : I could only add 8 pictures so I can't show every vehicle available.
I don't pretend they are all outstanding, depending on your taste, but they should be usable.
Want to download the map and have a look by yourself ?
Go in the map archives and search : Vehicles DLC#1 /1.0
Map is uploaded but not published. Requires FC3 Map Editor DLC Pack.
Maybe new vehicles will be added later (that's what " /1.0 " stand for) to this map or maybe on a new one (that's what " #1 " stand for).

Now for the technical part,
The only purpose of this map is to share it with others mappers, for them to use it as a template map. You gain access to new vehicles to use in your future maps (while I loose a bit of originality in my next ones ^^).
All you have to do is starting building your map, on this one.
The total object space used on the map from start is 67.57 %, and it occupies 9 grids. I wrote a text next to it with the hole tool that occupies 15 grids.
Don't worry, there is still 40 non-used grids, this should be enough for you to start building your map on a free grid of the map
I would advice you to delete the vehicles you don't plan to use as soon as you want to gain space.
As well, in front of each vehicle, you will find a wall with typed on it the cost of the vehicle (in percentage of object space) "as it is", that means with or without lights (each light cost is 0.20%).
The cost of a vehicle is approximative, it may depend on all the other objects you are actually using on the map at this moment.
Some vehicles uses lights, some don't when they're supposed to, this is due to the light limitation on the map. You're free to delete, change or add them (NOTE : "string lights" and "xenon light (01 or 02)" do not count as lights).
You're free to modify any vehicle of your choice as you wish or delete objects, unnecessary pieces, to gain space. Certain costs a lot, but it will always be less than 3 % per vehicle.

Contact me,
If you need any help, about the map. I will try my best to help you.
If you want to contribute and add a new vehicle to the list !(especially for that, this is important to contact me)
And if you could let me know if you use this map in the future, that would be really appreciated.
Thank you for reading![]()
Thank you all four Xbox players
I hope this will be useful to some other mappers.
Even if I had an Xbox, I think I would be too lazy to re make all these vehicles ^^Originally Posted by ImGonaG3tUsucka Go to original post

That's the only reason I'd want one. And I've been an Xbox fan since it came out.
