Blackshots Manhattan

Description
Manhattan, NY
(standalone Map)
Updates: Please read the change notes for more informations.
Updated for B42.12 ; mod version 0.10
B41 ; mod version 0.06 freezed

WIP / Early Version! Please give me Feedback in the comments.
This is my first project and I am still learning how to use the tools. If you have any tips for me, please write me.
Many thanks also to "Daddy Dirkie Dirks" for the "Mapping 101" video tutorials and the Zomboid discord community.

The map of Manhattan differs from Louisville in its narrow streets and alleys and the houses that are close together. The apartments are often very small and only have the most basic furniture. However, there are numerous shops close together.

It is my own, free version of Manhattan. For gameplay reasons, the map differs from reality. I must also admit that I have never been to Manhattan myself and use Google and Google maps to create it.

Hint: Deactivate this mod, if you want to play vanilla!

Note on AI usage:
Currently, I'm using AI-generated images for the workshop logo and the main menu background. The images represent what I've come up with myself - the prompt is mine. As I'm not a graphic designer, this was the best way for me to create visuals for this free mod. If you're a talented artist interested in contributing custom images for the logo and main menu, I'd be delighted to consider replacing the AI-generated assets with your work.

best map mod ever

I hope (if you write lore for the mod) that you make the starting day July 18th or after, as the 18th is when the Knox illness was first confirmed in New Yurok

this is amazing work! keep it up blackshot this is becoming legendary!

@blackshot besides just mindlessly hating AI I think the reason a lot of people call it out in this case is because you are essentially using making it the face of your work which does it a massive injustice. for all the work you put into this great looking map you made the thumbnail a fairly bland and unoriginal ai image that most will instinctively scroll past like the hoard of other mods that do the same.

I totally get not being a graphical designer but trust me when I say most people would be significantely more receptive even if you just used a nice screenshot of somewhere on the map. It will look better and will actually sell the quality of your work to people at a glance.

@Trufas:
Thanks for pointing that out. I've come across similar comments. Personally, I use AI to obtain graphics that I couldn't create myself, as I'm not a skilled graphic designer or artist. I'd like to say that the AI is just a tool here - like Paint/Gimp/Photoshop. The idea (the prompt) comes from me personally - the image represents what I imagine, but I could only create a stick figure drawing myself ;) And professional artists are out of my budget.

If someone were to create a new logo and two main menu images, I'd be happy to replace the existing ones. With online images, I'm always at risk of copyright claims. Currently, I'm still working solo on the mod, although I've had offers of help, nothing has come of it yet.

But I'll make sure to include a note about AI usage in the workshop description to provide transparency. ;)

Thx again

On an unrelated note I've seen some people complain about the usage of AI for your mod portrait, I personally don't care much about that sort of things to that degree but if you are interested you could check the concept art for the game [Prototype]

Prototype is basically a game in which a virus infects the city of Manhattan and it has some cool concept art showing infected people and military at Time Square or other areas of Manhattan https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2900892589

Perhaps it would be worth checking out. Best of lucks!

Mod looks incredibly ambitious, I hope the project continues. I'm looking forward to playing it :lunar2019piginablanket:

Hey, feel free to suggest more Easter eggs on my Discord. I'm currently working on further developing the Upper East Side—I'm currently looking for Easter eggs there, in particular.

Great map so far. But...
You know what's missing?
References to the show "Impractical Jokers". Maybe other movies and shows too.
