Modding the Main Cairn Map

[Flix]

I’m interested in making alterations to the main campaign map. I’ve been researching the basics and have read the Official Modding Guide pdf as well as the following topics:

Simple Map Making for Dummies

once i finished changing my world i do the following: rebuild all Pathing rebuild all Maps Save all Close Editor window start Task manager and make sure the Editor Process is closed, too start asset manager as Admin Build then i can see the folowing: [image] Compile time was 0.01 pretty much looks if it finished building and took 0.01 Seconds. so is this error caused by an other one that also causes my problem, or does it crash before being able to write the successfull compiled world fro…

[Tool] Map decompiler

Updated for Grim Dawn Forgotten Gods Hello folks! Based on the work from p0a (thanks a lot, guy!) from the old Titanquest-Forum I’ve made a map decompiler for Grim Dawn. See the included readme.txt how to use it! Kudos to Chris, who showed me how to save the Mini-Map images! GlockenGerda MapDecomp.zip (12.1 KB)

Creating Main Map Riftgates

How To Add Riftgates to the Main Map Hopefully this will be clear enough to show how to create new riftgates on the main map. For this exercise, I will use as an example creating a riftgate near the Dermapteran Queen’s lair near Homestead. Also, this is broken up into multiple posts in order to have a less overwhelming wall of text effect. Acknowledgement. In many respects this updates/fleshes out WareBare’s tutorial on this subject - from my experience doing this I think the proces…

Are there any other resources I should be aware of if attempting this endeavor? It seems theoretically possible to do this and yet it doesn’t seem like anyone has, so before I potentially waste days/weeks, is there any technical reason why I shouldn’t be able to make edits to the main Cairn map (terrain and pathing, for example), then re-export the result and play with it?

Just want to tap the experienced modders to gauge the basic feasibility. The kind of thing I’m interested in doing I have described here:

Request: More Bridge Repair/Roadblock Clearing

I’d like to see more reparable bridges and roadblocks that can be cleared in Act 2. These ways would of course be cleared from the opposite side so that you still travel the intended pathways the first time through. [image] Old stone bridge connecting Arkovian Foothills and Broken Hills. Use a hefty amount of scrap to repair the bridge from the Broken Hills side. Pathway connecting Old Arkovia to Twin Falls. Clear the roadblock with dynamite from the Twin Falls side. Pathway from Tw…

This is entirely possible. Though being as Crate is allegedly making some more such bridges, you may want to wait to see what they do.

In any case, in addition to editing the map world, you’ll also need to implement some scripts, so study up on Lua and the game’s scripting codebase if you really want to (re)build bridges!

Thanks. I’ll probably start with something simple that I know they won’t do, like restoring pathing to some of the old roads in Act 2.

Just adding in some hidden spoils would be an awesome add on. I love searching for things like that but after 4 years I think I know where most of them are.

Adding basements to houses like in Diablo 3 would be an amazing mod.
