whiteberry-toarda Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Here are maps that I made for my own use, but figured others might find it useful too The collection of maps is getting quite extensive now that I am adding 3 different types of each region (for those who don't want all the spoilers), so I am updating the maps on The Long Dark's page on Steam, which you can find here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =530202531 Below is an example of the maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Very nice work!! How long did it take you to put this together? Thanks for sharing, and welcome to the forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteberry-toarda Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Thank you - happy to be here I think it took me about 4-5 hours effectively and about 250 x F8s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Wow!! That's a lot of F8ing. Very, very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChillPlayer Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Awesome work, very nice - It seems I did miss a spot, Katie's Corner which apparently is very secluded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagos Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Very nice job, although this area doesn't need a map (since there are many many landmarks) its always nice to have something to look upon.Many thanks for your efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutedgrey Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Wow, nice! I think my favorite thing about this is the marking of plants, corpse spawns, and the use of icons for what is inside the locations. Reminds me of icons used on highway signs. I'd love to see that on other maps! I might modify them for my own use that way, especially the sapling spawns. Now I'm wondering why I haven't done it before.Some minor things to add if anyone's using the map:Matt's Truck: Possible corpse (I assume it's poor Matt)Riken: Bed, possible corpse(s)Gatehouse: First aid boxThere's another trailer on the other side of hibernia, near the entranceI'm assuming this map isn't counting possible corpse spawns inside buildings (hibernia, stone church, cave, riken, and I think one of the mines?)

This is a great help I have tried to update accordingly with a few other additions.You are right that I don't mark possible corpses inside buildings, but I have added them as icons along with the interior ones. Thanks for the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the idea.You're welcome! I feel like I'm missing stuff in the mines but I could be confusing it with a different area. Are the rifle and bow spawn icons new too? In any case, thank you for making it! It looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteberry-toarda Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 I added a mini map for Crumbling Highway, a rifle spawn in the Stone Church and toolbox locations. Not sure I got all the rifle & toolbox locations yet, but will update continuously I am also working on the map for Coastal Highway now that I've got the hang of it from these smaller maps.

Rusty_Old_F250 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 There's a rifle spawn in Hibernia Processing, it's pretty well hidden.Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagos Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 There's a rifle spawn in Hibernia Processing, it's pretty well hidden.Sam+1 I was about to comment that as well.Thanks for the additional map also.Something also to comment, is it possible to add vertical and horizontal lines as per autonomous maps? Its helps on visualizing the coordinates. The lines should be non intrusive, maybe dotted, gray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteberry-toarda Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Coastal Highway map added. I hope I got everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutedgrey Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Coastal Highway map added. I hope I got everything Nicely done! You did a fantastic job including everything. I love all the icons more and more!I do notice a couple things but my information isn't complete: There's a possible deer carcass either near the log sort or fishing camp, can't remember which. :? There's a fireplace in one of the waterfront cottages and one of the island houses, I think jackrabbit island. I get the two confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a fireplace in one of the waterfront cottages and one of the island houses, I think jackrabbit island. I get the two confused.Thank you I seem to remember a fireplace too at Jackrabbit so I'll investigate and add this. I'll look out for the carcass too. Edit: It seems there are no fireplaces in either house on the islands. I wasn't able to locate an additional carcass near either camp either.I also think I'm missing a couple of bear spawns, but haven't been able to find the western caves they belong to (if they have caves).

whiteberry-toarda Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 I have uploaded a Mystery Lake map, and also added a few things on the others. Most notably a new red four-leaf clover to show places with particularly abundant loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagos Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 You are on a map spree. I do hope that at some point you could add all those up to a universal map, together with the relative transition zones.Very quality work as always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did actually do that, but will need to do the transition zones properly for it to make sense. So a few maps more and some fine tuning and I'll do that.

Vagos Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 In the Carter Hydro you should add wolf legend. Also what about adding possible wolf locations on the map, or it should get crowded? I'll try to support you on polishing the maps but unfortunately I don't have that much time available these days.Maybe you should also note which type of bunker is per location. This is ready available in earlier posts.Finally the burned structures are randomly generated per game, maybe its not a good idea to hard point them on the map.

This is ready available in earlier posts.Finally the burned structures are randomly generated per game, maybe its not a good idea to hard point them on the map.Thanks for the feedback I agree with the Hydro wolf and will add that.I haven't added wolf locations/spawns to the map because yes, they might get a bit crowded, but also I have no idea how to go about determining the locations in a decent way.I have the bunker types in the works too, so they are coming at some point.With the burned/closed structures - do you mean that they switch from not burned (able to enter) and burned from game to game? I don't think I have ever noticed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagos Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yes for example in ML the Lake Cabins are switching from burned to not burned.In CH randomization occurs in waterfront cottages, coastal houses, fishing camps and in the cabins right below the abandoned lookout.In PV randomization occurs in rural crossroads for the houses next to the bridge.I hope that I dont forget any randomized location. Maybe thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
