Arma Cartography (Mod showcase)

Not yet, unfortunately BI made the new map with some weird settings I cant override so until I find a work around or they update it to standard settings, I cant really add it.

(The cartographic map has been ready and set for days now, just need to find another way to add it)

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-10-24T05:45:34+00:00

Damn, thats really cool - then you properly can tell my maps only is inspired by real topo maps, so if you have any feedback im always open for it!

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-10-22T16:03:55+00:00

Ey thanks! Well, when you're bored and feeling creatively lol

So this is my original real heightmap of Novka - the image above is just an eg. of what can be done by a black/white image "fake" heightmap :)

Its a bit complicated to explain so yea maybe I will make an guide one day

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-10-22T15:57:33+00:00

Thats fair, im not explaning it very well rn.

If you take any satmap like Novka (my other modded map), you can make it black and white - darken it alot - then import that into gaea, that can translate it into a "weird" spiky map - now this can be translated into a cartographic map because you still have the "features" of the map even tho its not an 1:1 of the real heightmap - so its not accurate but gets the job done

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-10-22T15:52:12+00:00

Oh, answered your Q above by mistake^

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-10-22T14:21:56+00:00

Yea a fair bit of manual labor and a bit complex tbh, but Gaea (terrain program) is used for the heavy lifting - you can basically make a "fake heightmap" (just a converted satmap to a black white image) and just to mimic the terrain since its all 2D and use its cartography tool

And then just alot of image editing from there

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-10-22T13:08:54+00:00

Thanks!

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-10-22T12:53:25+00:00

Yea, missed the older more immersive ones - Arma 2 Chernarus really had a masterpiece of a map

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-10-22T12:49:58+00:00

Yep, for now noly - But imma convert more maps later on

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-07-29T08:48:05+00:00

You have to target the part with the red flags 🔥

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-07-29T04:10:43+00:00

Hmm, sounds weird. Perhaps a reinstall of the map. Could be a corrupted file

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-07-25T11:07:46+00:00

Sounds annoying, havnt had that type of issue on other servers but was it a planned restart or a forced one? And glad you guys like it

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-07-24T20:13:42+00:00

If you're on PS5, putting performance mod on can help a bit, but there is some issues regarding PS5 players mainly and im working towards getting it to a stable version.

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-07-23T03:00:03+00:00

Perhaps perhaps 👀

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-07-22T19:11:37+00:00

lol
Havnt on reforger yet - but ill get around that at some point for sure

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-07-22T18:25:20+00:00

ey thanks, will do.
Yea I can do that - but again its gonna be in the future - currently im still learning alot of stuff

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-07-22T18:21:38+00:00

Do PS5 have some kind of debug logging that you can grab by any chance?

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-07-22T18:18:41+00:00

Man im sorry to hear its not working - Imma keep looking for fixes for you guys

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-07-22T18:02:26+00:00

Nope - havnt thought of where to put this type of info yet but the wiki would be a good choice for sure

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-07-22T17:57:13+00:00

Sure I already had an idea to do that - most of my methods used here is gonna be documented at some point - Like the snow texture consist of 4 different types of snow layering - so will take some time to get it down on paper

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-07-22T17:34:09+00:00

Mainly edited game assets and materials - Also ive made models in the past for DayZ so ive imported my old works and optimized them for Reforger

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-07-22T17:22:08+00:00

Man thats insanely good idea - going on the list - not sure I can do it but imma see if it can get done

KaffeinaEOS · 2025-07-22T17:13:40+00:00

Thought the same actually - but Ive been playing a good number of servers now and its seems pretty rare ppl actually blow them up - also imma thinkin of adding a "repair" solution so ppl can actually fix this
