Can please someone make an updated map modding guide?

Hello people.
I never made mods or anything similar, i have 0 experience in this sector but i would like to make one map.
I searched for tutorials on YT but i only found old ones.

 

The old ones still work..

 

The old one is not up to date since then few thing got changed.

 

Only minor things, nothing of importance that hinders you from making a map

 

Starting from the GridMap, which folders do i need to keep?

 

why not find an editable map on internet that comes with a editing software, or you could open the maps in UNREAL ENGINE 4 -or- BLENDER, super easy to mod on these

 

There are more ways thant the ingame map editor? As i sai i never did anything like this XD

Where can i find editable maps?

 

Before starting in gridmap, see this thread (gripmap lacks one major file)
https://www.beamng.com/threads/missing-main-level-json-in-gridmap-folder-partly-solved.53045/

You can delete the scenarios.

 

Should i use East Coast or West Coast map instead? And what about those editable maps that @crashman2552 said?

 

Every map is edible. I always use gridmap, but an older version of it. You can use ECU because it has some very nice objects in it, BUT there are a lot of objects in it. Deleting them all can take some time.

 

Thank you for the help. I will try the GridMap first since it looks easier to work on.

 

Read this thread before trying gridmap. Gridmap lacks one file (or I'm too dumb to find it) (main.level.json)

 

Yes, i have read that before when you said it. I just want to do an off road/mountain map,i need only roads and vegetation for now.

 

Maybe use industrial, because that is a perfect map to begin with.

 

use grid map, open it in blender, remove all objects apart from PLATE {ground}.
then you can make mountains by pulling up the map from where ever you click and hold. add random objects from your beam.ng files and spawn a load into the map

If using Unreal Engine 4,
well... - just search up the speed level designs on YouTube to see how detailed they can be,
honestly they are so detailed...

 

Pressing f11 (ingame) is easier. You can do everything there

 

When i will get more into this, i will try those too but for now is much easier for me with the ingame editor. Thank you btw!

 

that's fine, but even if you use them and MAKE a remake of a different game, plz sendme your profile of UE4 when you get it

If you haven't tried to mod SKINS, then use Paint.Net attached below...

I have included a quick to edit Sample of the hatch model,

Open the zip - To find the image - Edit - save it in the zip file - drop in your mods folder - will show up in your car select, if not - car customization, skins, what ever you named it, DONE

ENJOY

 

I did few skin mods to GTA IV years ago. I will try this too. Why not?

 

Don't upload an installer, link to the download page. Like this: https://www.getpaint.net/download.html
Also please do note that paint.net is not the only program, software like gimp and photoshop will work too (as long as you can export .dds).
