How to Build a Wooden Starter Base in Ark Survival Ascended
This is more of a teaser because this is just a fancy slideshow but hey, it’s what I made for the free version trailer and it looks good so yeah! I will be making a proper trailer for the premium version and it will be incredible!
Having a city biome in a mod map is really dope, never seen that before
Well it’s the first map to add a proper city in ASA, plus it’s a unique twist on it too!
The tutorial series is on hold, here is the reason: ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxDEOZgrwa9a5fCsISYncQb_1h38vrJsGK?feature=shared
wonderful tutorials! I was wondering, do you know how to change the skybox? while the endless sky is nice, I was looking for ways to switch it out for the scorched earth skybox as my map project is surrounded by a desert and I feel would fit better with that one instead
You'd just use the UDS_SE if you want the scorched earth sky. The materials may not work, they don't work for me but they may work for you, so try it out and see. If not, try adjusting settings in the clouds that you are currently using and the global post process.
On your min and max water setting, in my testing it seems these values should be set to your top of your lowest water source (min value) and top of your highest water source (max value). Most of the time this would be a min with the top of the ocean but if you happen to have a water source in like a cave below the ocean, it would be that instead. Then you need to get your water height index to get anything between working. This can be done by right clicking your level in the content browser and going to Scripted Asset Actions -> Capture Water Height index Texture. This will generate two images in another location (check console to see where) with the names T_MapName_WaterHeightIndex and T_MapName_WaterHeight. Use both of these images in your world settings. That should get the water effects working at all heights. Also make sure you have the BindFluidSimBuffer_Global in your map.
Oh thanks, I didn’t reload you could do that, I’ll have it check it out eventually
Where is the aberration zone? Is it not out? I could find a radiated cave at the volcano, but how am i supposed to get gas balls to make the radiation suit?
Nvm, found it, great map btw, a bit too small tho
@@TheValWhoDrawswhere is it mate
Sorry about the late reply, but I'm glad you found it. Also the map is the size of the island in the length and width. The height is about 3x that of the island. Adding the aberrant caves makes it even bigger.
Hi I’m playing this map currently, can you help me find the artifacts really struggling
Did you find them yet 🙏🏼
@jadensauls1599no, someone has told me they ain’t on it yet
@ someone told me not out yet
Sorry, they are not out yet. They are planned to release in three updates, one for each guardian.
Attention! Found an issue in the tutorial! Read for the fix! The tutorial is missing a DCM (day cycle manager). In order to get it to work drag in "DayCycleManager" from the content folder into your map. Set the location to 0,0,0.
Hi, can I get a way to contact you? I want you to work on a mod for me, if possible, please.
Hey, sorry but I don’t do mods for other people, I only stick to my own projects and my friends’ projects.
Nice! Glad to see a well done and more up to date series of ASA mapping tutorials. Yours is the first to mention that when creating the mod you need to use your Curseforge user name, which nobody else mentions. Earlier tutorials just say to put your name there. I did learn later that in theory you can edit the (name of your mod).uplugin file which is just a text file, and where the stuff you entered when creating the mod is stored. But, I haven't tested that yet. Struggling with foliage right now, so hoping to see a tut from you on that soon (fingers crossed)🥺
Glad that it helped you out, also I will be doing a tutorial on foliage after the next tutorial which is on adding meshes to the map
@WM_Plays Awesome! Will keep an eye out for it. And thanks again, it really is nice to see someone putting out tutorials for new modders.
Love what you're doing! Barely anything out there when it comes to map creation in this amount of detail! Keep up the great work!
Glad it helped!
Why Smart, why did you choose this video out of all the videos you could’ve chosen XD
Hi 😊
Hello
Best mod map I've played so far and played the most on.
I'm really enjoying playing the map so far but it could use rock golems. And maybe a little less seaweed in the ocean. But all in all can't wait till it's a hundred percent.
How large is it compared to other maps?
Same km2 size as The Island. Though it has potentially triple the verticality of The Island. So you could consider it bigger than The Island. It is a good size for ark maps!
@@WM_Plays also ive noticed water dino spawns are a bit janky
I haven’t noticed that myself, I’ll look into it
@@WM_Plays maybe it was a mod pack I was using? But I noticed dinos grouping and above water near the easy spawn area
When i press play to run around on my new landscape, its not showing? i just fall into water but i can see it in editor mode. My playerstart is above the land too. Any ideas ?
Check the landscape collision, make sure it is ground terrain. Also make sure spatially loaded is disabled on it
Ahhh wow.. ahora si entiendo el procedimiento.. lo estare probando, gracias !!! Por mas tutoriales y explicaciones tanto elementales como más avanzadas en el futuro ! ❤
I’m glad it helped
the map is great, but we can't find wyvern eggs...there are only 2 wyverns but no eggs...
There should be more wyverns in the volcano, and the eggs do spawn, it takes a while for them to though
Hello! When I press play, my character dies instantly, I can't spawn; do you have an idea to solve my problem? Thank you!
Strange, search kill in your world settings and increase the maxes to be very high of a number and then the opposite with mins. I hope this works
This is the very first, super useful and thorough Tutorial on how to start ASA-Mapping as a beginner without prior knowledge in mapping or programming in generall. Thank you so much! 🤟
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome Tutorial, thank you soooo much for that. I would not have made it to this point where I am right now without your help 🙏 I´m currently working on the blueprints and have followed your instructions and fixes very close on repeat. But still, i have many errors after compiling in all BP´s except "Event to toggle..." & "Custom Events". Mostly things like "could not find var for Ultra Dynamic weather", "in cave", "force hide supply drops", "Time stopped" and lots in PP Events like "Current post process volume", "Lake Water"; "Cave Water", "is underwater", "recently left water", "still underwater". I have no idea how to fix this. :)
I recommend you double check the blueprint parts so that you can see and follow through it correctly
@@WM_Plays Alright, I´ve double checked and found errors in "Is Really Underwater" Function. In your vid @ 43:51, all seems fine. But in my editor "IsUnderwater" on the very left bottom side causes an Error. That "IsUnderwater" also causes an Error in "Water Particles" Function. I have many errors in blend material fog" for missing variables, as example, like "Could not find a variable named bInCave", "Lake Water", "Cave Water", "Is Underwater". Also "Get foliage solver" and "final boss toggles" both has errors "Could not find a variable named "FoliageSolver". I am certainly sure, i missed something on hte way, but as bloody nood to modding, i have no idea where or what -.- Unfortunately, all Functions which causes errors on my side, was completely fine on your side. So o idea, how to process :)
I have also posted screenshots of the issues in Ark Mod-Dicscord :)
I’m pretty sure you have some missing variables then perhaps, try refreshing the bp nodes too
Great tutorial. Thank you! Subbed!!!
No problem and thank you!
👍
👍
Great Tutorial series. Any chance we can get a tutorial on how to cut holes in the maps for caves. Also I noticed everyone uses NOHoles on the WaterPlane. Just curious what a use case scenario would be to use holes. Thanks in advance. Vintal is a great map!!
Thanks, and yea I will show how to make holes in the landscape for caves but I have yet to get holes in the waterplane figured out. Mappers tend to use noholes water plane becuase they’re are no holes in it from other maps, it’s ease of use.
Near the end when you hit the Play Button to walk aorund on the map it obviously worked for you. When I tried I fell out of the sky and straight into the water as if the landscape was never there. Any idea why this is happeneing? Any help would be grealty appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Set the landscape collision to Ground, that should fix it
@@WM_Plays It was set to Ground Terrain. I changed it to Ground and I still fall out of the sky and into the water. Once I'm in the water and look up I can't see anything but sky. I can see the Obelisks oddly. On the left side of the screen I get a wall of blue text that says "Failed To Find Valid DSM". Thank you.
Strange, that’s never happened to me, you should check in with the ark modding discord, it is a community with most ark modders and mappers
when i place the landscape in the world it is just black . any clue on what could be causing that? cant really sculpt anything with it like that
Did you add a landscape material to it?
@WM_Plays it has the mi_islandlandscape material linked to it
@@WM_Plays i tried following buttmans tutorial to import a gaea landscape as well and still the same thing just a black landscape. i will be going over all the setting compered to the island map to see if i missed something. it dont matter what material i link to the landscape it just stays black. although some times it will get a disco ball effect and all the proxys will be different colors
Strange, have you set up RVTs yet?
I'm not sure I will check on that
Thank you for the video, can't wait to get into it 😊
No problem, I hope it helps you out!
always struggled using the flatten tool. now I now how to use it the right way. As always thanks for your tutorials. Looking forward to the next one 🔥
Glad to be of help!
Thank you and great job on the tutorial videos so far! Looking forward to the next one! You've earned my sub! :)
That’s great to hear! I’m glad it helped!
I love this map, you did a amazing job making such a beautiful map
I'm glad you like it! Also thanks I put a lot of effort into making it good quality especially for a free map!
Awesome dude any ETA on the next one? Think we all dying to get started on our Landscapes! Thanks again.
Hopefully November 7th
If you can't place the Weather overrides, just add UDS_Island_Weather and copy the settings. Once done, the weather overrides can be pasted. If what you copy has a dependency not yet added - it wont copy :')
They worked after reopening it after my crash. Gotta love the devkit XD
im loving how easy your videos are to follow. very help full. Patiently waiting for your next upload.
That great to hear! The next one should be out November 7th
My eyes O_o Much too fast you can't see much of the map O_o
I remade the trailer, you should check the new one out. It is better by a lot!
thank youuu
No problem!
little tip for the next time you make a trailer :) use photomode instead of just flying through it in ghost mode. Your mouse is very fidgety, it doesn't look good. in photomode you can move smoothly. You can also use the photomode to choose better positions, e.g. close to a plant or a dino, which gives the whole thing a lot more atmosphere. The pictures on the mod page could also look better :) You want to show the map, so why are there dinos in the foreground of many of the pictures? with the quetzals you can at least still see the cliffs in the background, but with the other pictures you can't see anything of the map, just the dinos. that could just as well have been screenshoted on the island. with the “river” picture you can't see anything of the waterfall in the background, but there's a dead direwolf in the foreground. You can't see the ground details either on the mod page or in the trailer. are there none or are your graphics not good enough to show them? I honestly thought the trailer was for Surval Evolved If you have some people with you, you can also give the trailer way more love of their control different dinos and do stuff while you record the trailer. This could be a good one to show people some of the creatures which you could find and are not vanilla every map dinos
Hey, thanks for your feedback. I made the trailer and screenshots like that on purpose to make them feel in game. I like them how they are currently though. I will try to use this feedback for the next time I make a trailer.
🙌
🙌
How long did it take you to build this map?
Few months, I started back in July, 2024 for this map
The Aberration zone looks amazing! Awesome work bro
Thanks, though they could use some work again eventually!
Cleanest map I ever seen
Thanks, I’m glad you like it and find it clean!
Nice! Cool looking map.
You’re right, and you know that my content is far superior and not ai, right Randy? Heh
First!
Thanks dad, is this your first comment on UA-cam in years?
There will be aberrant zone?
There are, you should check out the new trailer that I just uploaded!
Nice. Thanks 🙏
No problem, glad it helped!
Great Vid! Just what I've been waiting for. Any idea when the next one will follow <3
cant rush these things. upload before this was two weeks ago, so maybe 2 weeks, maybe more maybe less. we all will have to wait and do other things.
Aiming for every 1-2 weekends so I have time to work on my map and because it can take hours for the tutorials because I have to summarize what I did and redo it without my reference so that everyone can follow
The last one took 2 weeks because of some family life that was happening
Keep going please make vidoe about ark devkit basics and some couple easy stuff
I will try my best!
Thank you so much for this. For taking the time to make this and slowly going through everything while explaining how everything is done in detail, what is needed and why, so we hopefully understand what we are doing there at least to a minimum 😄 Can't wait to get into this! Also, for anyone running into same trouble loading up the second DevKit with Island: For me it kept crashing because it ran out of memory, even though I have 64 GB ram. In my case increasing the Windows Page File did the trick 🙂
No problem, the tutorials are mostly unedited too, only removing the long processes of copying and pasting and stuff. Basically stuff that is shown how to do once then you do the rest until the next step. I’m glad you want to become a mapper, ascended needs new maps, especially good ones unlike majority of the free maps as the good free maps are a minority, but these tutorials would work for both free and premium. Also all audio has no script XD! I just do it and say it. The only scripted parts would be what I plan on doing in the tutorial and a list of the things I did that I follow on a different monitor. I will also being doing an up to date tutorial on landscape and the landscape material, they’ll also have some fixes for mod maps and it’ll be a hand-sculpting and painting tutorial too. Though it’ll be a very long tutorial because there will be hundreds of things to copy over!
@@WM_Plays I have no problem with them being unedited and unscripted at all. Better an hour long and we can see every step, than skipping steps and people getting completely lost how something was done. That's at least how it was for me on the most tutorials I found so far. I'm already planning a map in my head for years, with special places and even a story and characters and stuff, so I really can't tell how excited I'm about this! 😄 Looking forwart to the landscape stuff, but take your time of course, I appreciate it a lot 😊
Legend 🙏
Thanks!
WHERES MY ARTIFACTS I built a big base in this map and found all caves
Coming in an update that has no set release date, but it’ll hopefully be out before 2025!
Who ever made this trailer needs to put down the coffee . I was going to download it an still mite but u went so fast i didnt get a chance to look over the map . From what i could see without having a seizure looks good . Just a tip if u want ppl to play ur map remake the video
Hey, yeah, I made it myself, as you can see my video making skills are not as good as my mapping skills XD. I am planning on redoing the trailer because of the low quality and all the updates I’ve done to the map so far
@@jacobk4487 A new trailer has been made a while back
@WM_Plays it fine I play it and was the one who ask you to put hazmat in lvl 70 drops . . Love the map . Hope it can become a official map 1 day I am going to try and get into modding but that has to wait after surgery
Good luck with your surgery if I’m not late to replying 👍
