- What is max resolution of height map that can be import to Dev Kit? max i tried is 8129
- Can we use World composition? I tried to use World Machine to split my map but when i import it inside, it messed up
- What is the max size of the map? I set max size in World Machine to 20km (did google a bit and people rumor to be 20km), import inside UE4 and it’s the same with 8km version
- Is there any Chat Channel that specific for Map Making? I know there is one for Mod Making
- Is there any plan to upgrade Ark Dev Kit UE to 4.8? or is it 4.8 already? (I saw the loading screen of dev kit show up at 4.5 something)
- Update later if have more (to avoid create multiple threads)
-8192 is the max
-yes
-see So you want to make a map - ARK: Survival Evolved - Unreal Engine Forums
-no
-it’s currently 4.5.1, there’s a lot of devs asking for it…so here’s to hoping
Hi,
They have stated that they will not be moving the codebase to a higher/newer version of the engine. They may however add in specific functions of newer versions that they want, and can work into the existing code.
Bad news then 
There are a lot of function in 4.8 that is good for map making (was looking into Kite Demo but most of the function is only available in 4.8)
4.7 foliage shaders please 
that’s all I care about
