Turns a Rust (Facepunch) .map file into a 3D viewer you can open in a browser. It reads the map
format and the game's asset bundles directly, so there's no server and no dependency on any mod
framework.
Open the live demo → — a real map running in your browser, nothing to install.
Grab the latest Windows build from the releases page — a single
RustMapViewer.exe with everything baked in. No .NET install, no extra files to keep around.
Point it at a .map and it writes a single self-contained .html with:
- the full-resolution terrain painted with the game's own ground textures;
- rivers, lakes and the ocean, with depth and shorelines;
- roads and rails using their real in-game textures;
- every monument marked on the map (hover to see its name, tier and whether it's a safe zone, click to fly there) and listed in the side panel;
- build-zone and safe-zone toggles that paint each monument's real no-build (red) and safe (green) areas on the ground;
- biome toggles that light up a whole biome at once;
- a free-look fly camera and a click-to-read coordinate tool.
Drag a .map file onto RustMapViewer.exe, or run it from a terminal:
RustMapViewer.exe procgen4250.map
It creates procgen4250.viewer.html right next to the map. Open that file in any browser and you're
done. (It loads three.js from a CDN, so the first open needs an internet connection.)
A couple of optional flags:
RustMapViewer.exe procgen4250.map --html out.html # choose where to save the viewer
RustMapViewer.exe procgen4250.map --viewres 2049 # lighter file, lower terrain detail (default 4097)
If you'd rather build it yourself, install the .NET 10 SDK and run from the project folder:
dotnet run -c Release -- procgen4250.map
Here -c Release is the build configuration and the -- just separates the build flags from the
map path handed to the program. Same flags as above apply after it.
The textures under detail/ and the monument data in data/ are extracted from the game and remain
the property of Facepunch Studios. They're bundled here only so the viewer looks right out of the box
and are not covered by this project's license. Rust is a trademark of Facepunch Studios; this project
is unofficial and not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
