Return to Jurassic Park is a mod for the 1998 PC game "Trespasser" set on Isla Nublar several years after the events of the first film. Running on an upgraded Trespasser engine, players will get to explore the abandoned facilities through nine expansive levels covering the entire island, while at the same time searching for weapons and supplies as well as solving challenging puzzles; encounter a wide range of dinosaurs, from the tiny compsognathus to the massive aquatic tylosaurus; and uncover a story unlike any previously presented in a Trespasser mod.
So it's been a long time since I posted on here, and I figured I'd upload some of my most recent work.
In case you don't regularly check TresCom for updates, here's a link to the current status of RTJP:

I'll restate here in short: basically Trespasser couldn't handle the sheer scale of Isla Nublar all in one level, so I have decided to cut the game into separate levels that are progressed through in a linear manner. You will still be able to explore the entire island, but the open-world concept originally intended for this mod is, as far as I can tell, impossible at this scale in Tres.
That being said, here is the new heightmap for what will be the final version of RTJP. I used a lot of reference from real-world locations, the island seen in Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, as well as a number of maps seen in the film in order to create what I believe to be my most accurate version of the island. There are areas that will likely be changed here and there, but this is pretty much the final product.
Welcome to Jurassic Park!

Looks great! Keep at it :) Im sure smaller levels will be no problem at all
:D
Nice!
Awesome! Great mod, Good luck...
Well, that's too bad because an open-world thing would have been totally awesome! But doing it like the original Trespasser could still be a huge success if done right - and your mod looks utterly amazing despite the loss of the open-world.
One thing though is if it would be a good idea to make it possible for the player to go back to older areas? Or is it important to finish the mod in a short time?
Btw, would be cool with some humans on the island as being alone feels kinda empty. Possibly NPC-humans could be eaten up by scripts? Just ideas, to make it less empty.
Sorry, I didn't notice your comment earlier...
For the most part, you won't be able to freely go back to areas in previous levels as the Trespasser engine isn't built for that (this would have been an option had the open-world concept been possible). However, there will be points in the game where you return to previously visited areas in later levels.
Well, Diane doesn't come to the island alone - her superior and pilot come along with her, so they will also be included in the game. Other than than, you'll have to wait and see if anyone else turns up!
