Transition to a New map

Due to Techinical issues I can no longer carry on working on Mortem Tupiu.

Thanks to all the people that have played the map and supported me along the way, some really lovely people out there.

I have spent a lot of time in the Dev kit and learnt so much and enjoyed every minute of creating the map that many people have played and hopefully enjoyed.

I am very proud of my map with all its faults, I made it with little knowledge of how it all works. So that is the problem, a lot of the map was built on the old version of ark. I put somethings together wrong and to get it working properly I would have to rebuild the entire map. So with a heavy heart i had to pull the plug.

Major Issues

1.I stiched 14 landscapes together, I didnt see why i couldnt. Well it turns out it does causes problems thats why Ark keeps their maps at the size they are.

2.Changing a lot of settings didnt help when ark released new content.

3.Not to mention the size of the map in MB, i mistakingly copied a lot of assetts into the map that didnt need to be there. So the performance isnt bad for the size of the map but its not as good as it could be.

4.The size of the map to much water to land.


Moving Forward

Mapping has taken me on a journey that has bascially taken over my spare time,

I love it and i want to show that i can make something better and more playable.

To accoplish this i need to work from scratch, so the good news is i will be making a new map.

New Map

The new map is in early stages at the moment but already lot better techincally than Mortem.

I want to be more open to suggestions and ideas from players from the start and provide something worth playing.

This version will not be for the faint hearted. One of the main problems as a map maker
with people playing on your map, is that you can destroy all there buildings with one brush stroke in the dev kit.
With the understanding that anything could change for the better is how the map will develop.

This time i am avoiding any gimics like floating island and the such to make a more playable map.

Realism and slight fantasy element, that will work with all the mods out there.

I really hope everyone understands.

Thank you so much for your time.

New Map HOPE
