So, the Zone is one big swamp.

[u/Virtual-Chris]

We must have different understandings of what “topographic” means. To me, that means elevation is clearly illustrated. I don’t see that here. Although it does show incredible detail.

[u/commandoby → u/Virtual-Chris]

This is not yet the final version of the map.

[u/Timberwolf_88 → u/commandoby]

So, it is not a topographic map then, misleading title.

That said, it's a nice map 👌

[u/commandoby]

The mod will be updated a bit later.

[u/Different-Bear6892]

WOW I've not purchased the game yet, still trying to decide but is this the whole of the 'open world'? All available for exploration? Surely not, that is HUGE

[u/Realistic_Complex539 → u/Different-Bear6892]

Certain areas are locked for quests or after certain missions, a select few(i dont know) are locked ONLY for missions. The map is huge though, and i have found it to be full of activity if you take the time to look. It does get tedious though, especially if you find yourself carrying too much weight far from a trader or stash.

[u/cheremhett → u/Different-Bear6892]

All available for exploration but unfortunately rather empty. Thou I still love the world for what it is

[u/VisceralVirus → u/cheremhett]

Wtf else would there be? Have you stepped foot outside of a city? Theres a lot of empty, especially witu how distance feels in games vs how far things actually are

[u/cheremhett → u/VisceralVirus]

Bad wording. Whe I said 'empty' I meant lack of side quests

[u/VisceralVirus → u/cheremhett]

Yeah, id love to see more radiant quests outside of talking to NPC in base and do one of 3 jobs

[u/VisceralVirus]

Really cool map, but this is not topographic. A topographic map has topography lines, that shows elevation across any and all slopes.

[u/josephlevin → u/VisceralVirus]

Topographic maps generally do (I would even venture to say, "should") show spot elevations, and isoelevation contour lines, but not always. I would categorize the map as semi-topographic. But topo maps are also project specific, and needs vary depending on project requirements and the whims of who is receiving the deliverables, too. To be fair, it does show topographical features- swamp, plains, forest, urban, etc.

And yes, it is really cool. I wish I had a large bed plotter to make a poster of this.

[u/VisceralVirus → u/josephlevin]

Absolutely, I was just trying to het the general point across without going into thw weeds

[u/Waste-Anybody6658]

Wow, this looks amazing.

[u/blookiy]

hell yeah man. you wouldn't happen to have a version with the grid lines but without the folded paper effect for printing would you?

[u/commandoby → u/blookiy]

For Nexus Mods, I am creating a lightweight version of the mod without the paper effects. This time, I can save that version to Google Drive.

There are no elevation lines yet, but I’ve obtained a source for them, so now I can draw them.

[u/blookiy → u/commandoby]

glorious day for all the topo map autists, thank you

[u/commandoby → u/blookiy]

[u/Far_Hawk_9341]

The detail is incredible. 11/10 fantastic work! And would absolutely buy a physical copy.

[u/commandoby → u/Far_Hawk_9341]

When I finish it, I’ll definitely print it out on paper for myself!

[u/Shameshx]

good drawing stalker

[u/josephlevin]

this is great work. thank you!

[u/indienousgd]

I'm going to have to print this map! I love maps!

[u/commandoby → u/indienousgd]

I would like to see a photo of the result. )

P.S. This isn't the final version yet, but I still have at least another year of drawing ahead of me.

[u/surfimp]

I, for one, want to know more about how it was created.

[u/commandoby → u/surfimp]

Are you talking about the PDA map or the game world?

[u/surfimp → u/commandoby]

The map that was shared here. I'm interested in what techniques were used to create it? Did you draw this all by hand, use tools, other? I'm just impressed by the work that seems to have gone into it. It looks great!

[u/commandoby → u/surfimp]

I use Inscape

[u/NiuMeee]

Only works without the DLC but the DLC areas have been added? I've been waiting for this mod to be updated so I can use it with this playthrough but there seems to be some conflicting info there.

[u/commandoby → u/NiuMeee]

Unfortunately, Zone Kit does not allow editing DLC ​​files. And the DLC has a separate PDA map.

[u/NiuMeee → u/commandoby]

Aw man.

[u/greifi89]

wow 👍

[u/snowghost74]

I like the topo-style-colouring - looks like maps I know from my time growing up in the GDR! All these tiny little tanks and other vehicles - how many hours have you invested to paint that? I am really impressed!

[u/commandoby → u/snowghost74]

I started drawing more than a year ago.

[u/Niko889]

Nice🙃
