*GTA V Dubai Islands Mod Standard Version by GTA BELGIUM*
Grand Theft Auto: Dubai Islands brings some of the most recognizable buildings from the Middle East and beyond to the game Grand Theft Auto V! This mod contains multiple islands including a Palm Jumeirah replica, an airport and even the Yas Marina Formula 1 circuit from Abu Dhabi!
This is the second version of this mod. There is a VIP version for 1$ including the Dubai Creek Tower, and Abraj Al Bait building from Meccah. This VIP version is available on Patreon, and will be linked to on the website https://gta-belgium.com/
CRASHES SHOULD NOW BE FIXED 99% WITH THE LATEST 2.0 CRASH FIX UPDATE
Changes in V2.1:
- Collision fix. Thanks to user TyFinesse on gta5-mods.com for help with the collision fix.
Players will no longer fall through the map!
Rockstar Games decided to mess with the collision system a while ago,
so lots of map mods didn't work properly anymore. That has now been fixed!
Changes in V2.0:
- Added more random props, and bridges between the islands.
- Dubai International Airport replica added.
- Minimap is now included, but will be only compatible with 4K Satellite View Map by Designerappz: https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/satalite-view-map
- Some new buildings: London One Canada Square (not really Middle East but still good looking), a random large building.
- The 1$ VIP version will have an added Abraj Al Bait Meccah Royal Clock Tower (interior with Kaaba) and the planned Dubai Creek Tower (height 1300 meter).
- Deleted unnecessary collision files for better performance and reducing crashes.
- Reducing some unnessecarily large 4K textures and replaced them by 2K textures without ingame visible quality loss.
- Re-importing Bahrain World Trade Center without z-fighting faces, with reduced polygons for better performance and less irritating 'flashing textures'.
- Editing and improving shaders and textures on some buildings for less problems with strange colored glass glitches.
- Editing normal directions on some buildings for a visible better quality, without strange lines and shadow glitches.
- Added lights in Luzhniki Moscow World Cup 2018 stadium, which will light up at night.
- Added a Freddie Mercury Statue inspired on the one in Montreux, Switzerland. Located near Dubai Emirates Towers and Rose Tower.
- Some buildings now have LOD versions, which will reduce possible lag and the game will have less chance to suffer from random crashes.
Possible future changes in a next version:
- Adding more traffic paths and correcting existing traffic if possible.
- Adding more details, more mansions, more props...
- Making LOD versions on more buildings to reduce crashes for some users.
- More buidlings or statues, towers...
- Whatever comes up on my mind or on yours: you can always leave a (realistic) suggestion!
IF YOU WANT THE TRAFFIC PATHS TO WORK BETTER, YOU MAY NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE 'NO BOUNDARY LIMITS' MOD.
BELOW ARE 2 DOWNLOADS, CHOOSE ONE OF THE TWO. I THINK THEY DO EXACTLY THE SAME...
Download this one: https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/no-boundary-limits-unknown-modder

For a new complete minimap by LorenVidican, download this:

This map mod now contains:
United Arab Emirates: Burj Khalifa, Aldar Headquarters, Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Rose Tower, Atlantis Hotel, Dubai Airport replica, Dubai Media Centre, Yas Marina F1 Circuit ABU DHABI (Converted from F1 2017). VIP VERSION: Dubai Creek Tower (planned for completion in 2020 in real life).

Kingdom Saudi-Arabia: Kingdom Centre. VIP VERSION: Abraj Al Bait Meccah Royal Clock Tower

A random building, random houses, a mosque, 2 small bridges, 2 large bridges and 2 yachts.
I know Russia and China and of course the UK and Switzerland are not really Persian/Arabian,
and neither is Turkey in fact. But I think it's all a great addition to this mod, with an extra touch!
Burj Khalifa is converted from a GTA IV mod by 'Metalwarz'. Many many thanks to him for the GTA IV version!
I only converted that one to GTA V.

If you can't work with OpenIV, search for tutorials on youtube,
there are a lot of good tutorials.
- Extract everything from the .zip file
- In update/x64/dlcpacks create the folder 'dubai' and paste the dlc.rpf (located in this download: dubai folder)
- In update/update.rpf-common-data edit the file dlclist.xml:
Search for the last 'dlcpacks:\...\' and paste this new dlc code line after it:
dlcpacks:\dubai\
- In update/update.rpf-x64-levels-gta5-paths.rpf add the 2 files in the 'traffic paths' folder in this download.
'nodes393.ynd' and 'nodes395.ynd'.
- For the new minimap, download this mod by LorenVidican:
https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/atlas-gta-5-style-map-with-radar-for-dubai-islands
- For my original incomplete minimap, first download Designerappz' 4K Satellite view map radar mod:
https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/satalite-view-map
Install it, then replace 2 times 2 tiles:
'minimap_1_0.ytd'
'minimap_2_0.ytd'
'minimap_sea_1_0.ytd'
'minimap_sea_2_0.ytd'
Those are included in the folder 'minimap for Designerappz' 4K Satellite view map' in my .zip file you extracted.
Again, many thanks to Designerappz for letting me edit 2 tiles!
WARNING: The minimap is NOT complete because a large part of the Dubai Islands map is out of GTA 5 standard bounds.
READY!
For Z@gor's Burj Al-Arab, you need to install it as an addonprops.
Therefore you will need addonprops mod by Meth0d and quechus13.
-----
PLEASE KNOW THAT A GOOD PC IS REQUIRED, AND FPS DROP IS POSSIBLE USING THIS MOD.
THE FILES ARE PRETTY LARGE (THOUGH I REDUCED IT)
AND IT'S VERY POSSIBLE A 'NORMAL DECENT' PC WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO RUN THIS.

I only converted that one to GTA V.
IF YOU WANT THE TRAFFIC PATHS TO WORK BETTER, YOU MAY NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE 'NO BOUNDARY LIMITS' MOD.
BELOW ARE 2 DOWNLOADS, CHOOSE ONE OF THE TWO. I THINK THEY DO EXACTLY THE SAME...
Download this one: https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/no-boundary-limits-unknown-modder
Or this one: https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/no-boundary-limits
Burj al-Arab won't be included in my mod download,
you should download it from the link provided above, mod by Z@gor. Thanks to him as well!

INSTALLATION:
Install the files with OpenIV (http://openiv.com/).
If you can't work with OpenIV, search for tutorials on youtube,
there are a lot of good tutorials.
- Extract everything from the .zip file
- In update/x64/dlcpacks create the folder 'dubai' and paste the dlc.rpf (located in this download: dubai folder)
- In update/update.rpf-common-data edit the file dlclist.xml:
Search for the last 'dlcpacks:\...\' and paste this new dlc code line after it:
dlcpacks:\dubai\
- In update/update.rpf-x64-levels-gta5-paths.rpf add the 2 files in the 'traffic paths' folder in this download.
'nodes393.ynd' and 'nodes395.ynd'.
- For the new minimap, download this mod by LorenVidican:
https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/atlas-gta-5-style-map-with-radar-for-dubai-islands
- For my original incomplete minimap, first download Designerappz' 4K Satellite view map radar mod:
https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/satalite-view-map
Install it, then replace 2 times 2 tiles:
'minimap_1_0.ytd'
'minimap_2_0.ytd'
'minimap_sea_1_0.ytd'
'minimap_sea_2_0.ytd'
Those are included in the folder 'minimap for Designerappz' 4K Satellite view map' in my .zip file you extracted.
Again, many thanks to Designerappz for letting me edit 2 tiles!
WARNING: The minimap is NOT complete because a large part of the Dubai Islands map is out of GTA 5 standard bounds.
READY!
For Z@gor's Burj Al-Arab, you need to install it as an addonprops.
Therefore you will need addonprops mod by Meth0d and quechus13.

PLEASE KNOW THAT A GOOD PC IS REQUIRED, AND FPS DROP IS POSSIBLE USING THIS MOD.
THE FILES ARE PRETTY LARGE (THOUGH I REDUCED IT)
AND IT'S VERY POSSIBLE A 'NORMAL DECENT' PC WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO RUN THIS.

Thanks to user TyFinesse for help with the collision fix.
Players will no longer fall through the map!
Rockstar Games decided to mess with the collision system a while ago,
so lots of map mods didn't work properly anymore. That has now been fixed!
does ist work on fivem`?
@RAJPANDEY5569 Same here
The map is not interactable for me so I can't walk or drive on the island, is there a way to fix this?
@GTA Belgium i tried this map it works fine but with lvfs map there is conflict the dubai become not on the right postion on the map and you only see the half of it so i think there is conflict with lvfs dlc ,,,what to do?
No collision, I think that the Contract update broke this mod, and the Spa mod also. I tried this mod half a year back, before the Contract update, and it had collision.
Thanks for creating this excellent mod. My Son really likes this Mod. He even made a Video using this Dubai City MAP.
See here: https://youtu.be/H7FO_Dhnizk
Let us know if this video is not violating any conditions for your mod.
after installing this mod character is dworning insdie the water
player is not able to land on the dubia island anywhere can somebody help ????
How isn;t anybody talking about that this is the most incorrect GTA Map Mod i've ever seen, It is not Dubai, It is basically a mix of Buildings that are from Arabian Countries NOT JUST UAE, & Buildings which are in he UAE but not Dubai, It did have buildings which are atleast in Dubai but this Map is incorrect, Please make the correct version.
@MrHamdanSSS Read the first paragraph in the description 🤦♂️😒
@GTA Belgium Wat is er gebeurt met het map van Libery City? En ook het andere?
Hello, i just installed this maps and can't going in it.. i'm in water directly can't interact with this maps. Anyone have any solution ? please. @GTA Belgium ??
@GTA Belgium @TheBarnaBusz @abhisst2512 @xezyPC
I uploaded a fix. Replace the content.xml inside dubai/dlc.rpf

Please Pin to save the mod creator a headache
A little info for users to help you fix other mods. The problem with this mod were these lines
<Item>
<filename>dlc_dubai:/%PLATFORM%/levels/gta5/dubai/palmisland.rpf</filename>
<fileType>RPF_FILE</fileType>
<overlay value="false" />
<disabled value="false" /> Needs to be True
<persistent value="false" /> Needs to be True
</Item>
This goes for both blank.rpf and blank_metadata.rpf
------------------------------------------------------------------------
</filesToEnable /> needs to be </filesToEnable>.
Also adding under the above.
<Item>dlc_dubai:/%PLATFORM%/levels/gta5/dubai/palmisland.rpf</Item> <Item>dlc_dubai:/%PLATFORM%/levels/gta5/dubai/palmisland_metadata.rpf</Item>
ending the section of code as always with the above but beginning with "/".
</filesToEnable>
---------------------------------------------
Finally, <changeSetName>CCS_Blank_NG_STREAMING_MAP</changeSetName>
needs to be changed to the name of the folder "Blank"<"Dubai"
<changeSetName>CCS_dubai_NG_STREAMING_MAP</changeSetName>
Save. Play
@GTA Belgium nice very good idea I have the same problem with the collision
finally can enjoy this mod without falling through. Thanks alot.
@GTA Belgium bonjour j'ai ajouté des maisons design sur ta nouvelle map de Dubai. https://fr.gta5-mods.com/maps/dubai-mansions-ymap-map-builder
This map breaks character switching, but is overall quite a nice map.
@GTA Belgium Will you ever update your SF/LV map (especially the collisions), or have the R* overlords banned that from the interwebs? Great map btw. All your maps are!
@GTA Belgium Salut mec , j'ai convertit bcp de tes trucs pour FiveM Client , si tu les veut pour les mettres ici écrit moi :) Je peu te faire des versions FiveM Server au besoins
