How do I make my own map?

[hokis58]

I've been browsing through the workshops and have been really surprised at how beautiful the maps that people have created are and it has really inspired me to make my own, however, I don't know what to do, or how to do it. If someone could please help me that would be greatly appreciated. :)

Are you talking about PGM? Thats already built-in to the game
But if you want to make a custom map from scratch then you need the Dev Kit

That will help you create your own map. This isn't for the new Proceedurally Generated Maps, it's a start for creating your own map from scratch in the ARK Dev Kit

Thank you, I'll give it a shot and tell you what happens.

Procedurally Generated Map.

Procedurally generated map....effectively a random generated map.

oh ok thank you

I do have one other question. What exactly is C++ and is it vital for me to have to create a map or will the Dev Kit be enough?

C++ is a programing language, used to code games like Ark, and if you wanna add your own trees you are gonna need a modeling program like blender, and then you import the file in to the dev kit and there you can choose what it should drop

Necroing that 1 year later to answer probably is a moot point by now :P

I like when I'm searching for answers and I stumble upon things like this that have been closed or ppl want them closed. Get a life... let the conversation proceed.

And yet you added nothing of value to the discussion so why bother necroing it🙄
