How this Project Started:

Well for years I have played Rust, across two accounts I’ve put in about a few thousand hours, From Legacy, Vanilla Rust -to- Modded I’ve played a lot. My love for this game all started back in 2016 when I discovered a Zombie Server using Hapis as its base map. Hapis was the first non Procgen map I ever Played
And let me tell you it is still my Favorite Map to Date!!

Now speed time up a few years and I discovered Rust Edit Forums by K1lly0u and I was Blown away at the small amount of mappers and what they were creating.
I started out small building what I wanted to see in a Rust map, from a Strip Club, to a Water Fall, RV camper ect. I was then brought into the discord were I still Spend most of my time. A Community I love and cherish. When Personal Life Issues got me Down this Community Helped me Get threw my Darkest of Days. An sitting at the apex of my experience with the Program I tried to recreate the Map I loved and played months on. Hapis was the hardest Project I have ever undertook and I Remade it a few times now. From Using Buildings from Wheatlymf, Keirox I turned my first Hapis remake into a zombie Apoc Nightmare for my server to play and it was great, I then incorporated Underwater Monuments like Lones Submarines and Robjs Sub docks. Currently using Robj’s outpost decor and drydock tugboat,  But then HDRP was on the Radar to come to rust and I worked on other projects in the mean time.

Eventually I got my hands on the Aux01 HDRP backport and I nearly died, all the months of hand placing rocks and rebuilding Hapis the first few times  were just completely decimated. But their was HOPE, After all the time I have Invested into Rust Edit I now knew how to do what I wanted to do, So I began working on Hapis Remastered. I took Hapis from the game files and brought it into World Creator 2, I played around with a few things and Re Merged it into Rust Edit, then realized there was a Height Limit on the map so I had to then Port it to unity, thankfully Kilgore by then had his Modified Unity Editor up an running. It saved my bacon on more then one thing and I was able to then get the terrain to fit into the map just right.

Now Ill say as I started with the Monuments I wanted to change the Designs abet more from my now acquired tastes of editing and took the liberty of trying to make them my own a bit more. Is this Map a 1×1 Recreation, NO.. This Map is a culmination of the different versions of Hapis I have played and the versions I hoped would come to pass. I wanted to incorporate the old Airfield but then settled on making a custom Airfield and mixing that with the New Military Content.

Strenuous Bug testing and patching Io thanks to my Friend Stoner Jesus I feel I haven’t just Remade Hapis, but expanded it. This feels to be my Opus as far as Map work I have done. I hope to see you enjoy the map as much as I have these last few months.
