Project Reality Forums

Hello, it is your friendly Communist here! Project Reality is by the far the best game I have ever played and I have fun every day that I play it. However, I have been disappointed that there is no Korean war map currently. I have map making exp. as I work for the game design department for my university and I was wondering if anyone would be up for this kind of map.


Fractions: USA, North Korea,China, South Korea.

Time of Day: morning, mid-afternoon, and dusk/night.

Era of weapons : 1950s

Type of map: Tench lines, ? ( have no idea yet)

I was also thinking of during a WW1-style map with the trenches and other materials from that time period.

Just tell me what you think and can anyone show me the way to talk to the head developer.
I was also thinking about a Soviet vs. Afghanistan 1990s style map

Fixed up your link Sorta (wasn't the whole url) and moved the topic to Community Modding.

Well Drcommunist, the link Sorta posted above is the best place to start to learn about mapping but firstly a few things about your ideas.

Main reason why we don't have any Korean War maps, is mainly down to not having the Korean War factions with all their weapons, vehicles, player camos etc. To make all of this is a lot of work.

There is however, a Battlefield: Korea, BF2 mod that we do work with and one day, "might" integrate their work into Project Reality but to do that would be a lot of work as its not a simple copy and paste job, since everything needs to be re-coded and setup to our standards, tested etc and many items that are needed for our gameplay would need to be made to.

But that is not to say that the idea of a Korean map is a no go for PR, since we can always put the Modern US and Chinese factions on as a place holder (and possibly alternative layer in the future if the Korean war factions get integrated) and the map could also be shared between the PR and BFK mods if your happy with that too, also helping to pave the way between possible integration in the future.

As for your "Type of map", well if you want to focus on the Korean War I would find a real battle and location to re-create, can find a list of the major battles here for example, but loads of smaller ones too. You may also want to check with the BFK mod if they already have a map for xxx battle your thinking too and if so, if they want to replace the map or not, since not much point making a map for a battle they already have

Can use a bit of imagination for some layers but trying to stick with historical accuracy I find helps quite a bit in both terms of gameplay (assuming it was a close fought battle) and immersion.
Would suggest posting a few map concept ideas below or if you're really certain on one, post one in a new mapping topic as per this thread here: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f354-c ... w-map.html


As for your WW1 and Soviet-Afghan war ideas, they suffer from the missing factions too, especially the WW1 era and Soviet-Afghan war, might as well do modern one unless you want to try and take it upon yourself to create the faction as no one is currently working on that.


Good luck

Thanks for posting the info Rhino. Yeah, PR and BFK have been sharing content as far back as 2009 that I know of. Something like 20 of our weapons we created have been used in PR, PR:V and PR:WW2 addons. We consider ourselves closely allied with the PR mid, since we were also both part of the now defunct Black Sand Studios modding group that was made to share content and help each others. Rhino even recently fixed up the cockpit model of the Skyraider attack plane we both use.

With that being said, I absolutely still believe we can incorporate our other content into PR as an addon later down the road. I just wanted to get BFK done since it never had a proper release, and has pretty unique weapon selection icons and other things.

The Forgotten Honor Tournament contacted me recently about doing campaigns on their servers with BFK, so we are planning to have online working.

I say you can make some nice maps for us and maybe eventually they can also be used in PR:Korea if we decide to come over and port our factions.

And check out our latest update, you will see we have a lot of content. Also we are about between PR and FH2 realism, so we do use like medic pads like how PR and FH2 and BGF mods all used. We want to keep it realistic enough, but not super arcade.

I think you will love our latest update though, I showed off the communist weapons in the news update I literally just posted yesterday.
