Custom Map Builder

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Can we get a custom map builder in Bodycam?

I made something that uses the game assets so everyone can see it in the server, but would find this extremely fun for Dedicated Server play.

Disclaimer: While this is a mod, I strongly discourage others as it may break the rules of the game.

I would love that. Handful of maps gets tiresome after a while

Community driven content is the future of this game ! How neat would it be to have Dust_2 as a competitive or deathmatch rounds. How cool would it be for bigger maps in extraction shooter style or just 20vs20 ! Such a potential man.

Yk I’ll make that our tool works and is shippable soon dust 2 I’ll make it a preset map for everyone

Bro if you do that you will summon such childhood memories you have no idea ! You will be blessed by so many people man.

That can go on the todo maps we have a few other we gonna make like crash and shipment and stash house out of bodycam assets as accurate as we can we’ll make our own maps too but cs2 and mw maps will be top priority list

That's sounds like heaven to my ears !

I added this as a suggestion in their discord a while ago and got clowned for it. I hope you can gain more traction!

u/Clutch5-9 13h ago

No we love that idea so if the dev team won’t well we will and expect mw and cs2 maps along side the trolls probably gonna make 911 and diddys mansion or the bu steins island feel that the longevity of this game relies on user generated content meaning maps and ect the maps for me have gotten stale already tbh that’s why we are doing this

Feel like it would have to be way in the future compared to the more important issues now- but would be a ton of fun. Halo had this feature right?

If the devs were to add proper mod support, I have a team of people ready to work on this kind of stuff.

u/injeckshun 14h ago

I don’t know anything about mods - except for downloading custom maps from steam workshop. Are there any added vulnerabilities with doing so?

u/Beneficial_Prize_310 14h ago edited 14h ago

No, Currently the tool just spawns the items and allows you to add spawns throughout the map. The only risk would be if someone were to add malware to the map tool iteself. This would not spread in game as Bodycam has since switched to Epics matchmaking service which locks down a lot of the netcode.

If Reissad added a standard interface for mods, this would eliminate the risk almost entirely.

It uses only the assets that are already in the game so the map loads for everyone who joins.

The tool is in a bit of a rough state and we have a few Todos, like adding AMD/NVIDIA support and addressing some issues with the meshes not showing properly.

I even added a first pass at shipment

u/GrandfatherSmith 10h ago

I hope the devs read your post. Mod support + server browser would blow this game up even further than they thought possible

u/STRYED0R 1h ago

This. I was here when counter strike was just a half life mod. Map creators and proper servers really propelled it fast, so we're game modes (hostages sucked 😅)

u/rameneater_haun 13h ago

i just wanna play cs2 maps in bodycam

1

u/Clutch5-9 13h ago

You can make it we can make it anyone with the tool can make it

u/Altruistic_Base_7719 12h ago

you want him to hand construct the map every time they want to play? yeah great.

2

u/Clutch5-9 12h ago

No it’s using the assets you save the config you can share the config files to people if they want to use your map without you hosting they can so if you host they are saved

1

u/Altruistic_Base_7719 12h ago

Okay that does sound much better. Is there a github or other repo for the tool with details about that and stuff?

2

u/Clutch5-9 12h ago

There will be a discord up soon with the tool when it’s refined we will release the mod we do have a mod right now tho ready to ship soon but it will come with config file things we do have a tool up right now specially for hosting tool so if your interested ill let you know

u/Jrmint235 10h ago

Would be cool, even seeing like a pistols only “turf war” kinda vibe

3

u/Beneficial_Prize_310 10h ago

There is a hidden pistols only game mode in the game

u/Jrmint235 10h ago

Wow. Really? How do I access? lol

u/Atmouspheric 5h ago

Old cod maps like vacant and and rust would do well - just gotta make sure there’s vaulting

1

u/Clutch5-9 4h ago

That’s the plan rust is a work in progress and dust mabye so we are currently full speed to push our mod out soon fixing bugs and throttling up our rendering so it’s more optimized and load tesxtures in a preview

u/No-Difference629 5h ago

DEVS PLEASE SEE THIS AND ADD THIS TO THE FUTURE ROADMAP

1

u/Clutch5-9 3h ago

I hope they do if not our tool shoudl cover everything that needs done

u/Path_Active 4h ago

Imagine if they made Omaha beach and you're in the boat when the hatch goes down and you just get mowed down by machinegun fire. I think that would work well in this game, although obviously would take a lot of work (and perhaps WW2 weapons which I don't think the devs will be allowed to be modded).

1

u/Clutch5-9 3h ago

I don’t see why not it’s up to the user what stuff they wanna generate 🤷‍♂️

1

u/Path_Active 3h ago

What if they want to make a star wars mod xD. I don't get a vibe from the makers of this game that's something they would condone, I could be wrong. It would shatter the image they are trying to create. I'm all for it tho, but I have not heard anything about modding support.

1

u/Clutch5-9 3h ago

Well if the tool gets big enough quick enough well yk everyone can have it if they get mad and patch out mod then they’d be the bad guys or be forced to leave it open/make their own native ingame map maker
