Russia Map Ressource
It’s a free modding resource map, with many basic files provided. It is supposed to serve as a framework for future mods wanting to use a map of Russia exclusively, whether they aim to represent the Russian Civil War, another Russian explosion into countless irrelevant warlords scenario or a conversion in the Metro2033 universe. You can use this map for any project you want.
The map is currently unplayable in its current state. I lack the time to make a complete, working mod with it, which is why I publish it in this state for others to be able to use it. If you attempt to launch the game with this mod activated, it will crash. To be able to launch the game, you need to set it to -debug mode in the Steam properties. You still will not be able to access single player games, but you’ll have access to the Nudge tool which is what matters for modding.
Anyone and any mod team can use this map. The only condition is to have at least an event on the start of the game saying this map was created by me. Also, I have made a Discord for people who want to work on the map; where I can provide help and assistance for all modding teams that want to use this map. https://discord.gg/hGpnjyP
