mondkalb 1087 Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) MBG Buildings 2 A building pack for islands set in a tropical theme. As you might have already noticed, I'm currently cooperating with IceBreakr on his latest project. And now my work finished! Features: - High detail texture sets - Very Accurate Geometry/Firegeometry LODs - 3 new flats/appartments in 9 different color schemes - A new, walkable Villa - A walkable multi-purpose building - Animated Doors - A fully animated Radio Telescope - Proven to work with Visitor 3 More information You can find a current list of all the buildings/EU-classnames with pictures here. And here's a little gimmick I added for the radio-telescope: afA_yA_H2i0 The signal received is only one of currently eight. - - - - - MBG Buildings 2 EU Additionally there is an addon that allows the access to all buildings via editor. This addon isn't mandatory if you're just downloading this addon in order to use an island. - - - - - Radiotelescope.Desert_E This is the radio-telescope script-mission shown in the video above. I haven't gotten around to improve this script and make it Plug & Play. But feel free to use this "template" and make your own Radio-Telescope script out of this. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Downloads: All files are signed and keys are included. (MBG_B2.Bikey) MBG_Buildings_2.pbo Download #1 (97MB) by-nc-sa Permission to alter this work is still required. MBG_Buildings_2_EU.pbo Download #1(3KB) Duh... public domain...

cbfasi 4 Posted August 10, 2010 Very very very interested in the Radio Telescope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enad 11 Posted August 10, 2010 Just a question, how many of these will be enterable? Great looking buildings though. Can't wait to see them on Lingor and others maps. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRexian 0 Posted August 10, 2010 Oh, that is too f'n awesome, with the radio antenna! This would be the next step in my devious plan to convert ArmA2 into a SETI simulation! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaveP 66 Posted August 10, 2010 Awesome work! Of course the first question I'm inclined to ask is the enterable factor, but my mind must push me away from this as I know how much extra work it is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Defunkt 431 Posted August 10, 2010 Great stuff, I love the way modders such as yourself contribute building blocks for use in other projects, it really extends what can be achieved by the community as a whole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebart 1 Posted August 10, 2010 Beautiful work, the telescope's a great idea, can you line up several of them and link them to the same control? Also, the buildings hold up really well as they are, but have you considered using the Multimaterial for your building textures? edit: hang on, are you using the multimaterial? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomatoArden 0 Posted August 10, 2010 Nice, wouldn't mind seeing this on duala. When are you going to show a video of it shooting a massive death ray? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mondkalb 1087 Posted August 11, 2010 Beautiful work, the telescope's a great idea, can you line up several of them and link them to the same control?Also, the buildings hold up really well as they are, but have you considered using the Multimaterial for your building textures? edit: hang on, are you using the multimaterial? :) Given the proper scripts and a sufficient amount of telescopes you could even make a VLA. The radio-telescope script seen in the video isn't hardcoded. It'll just be included for easy access via action-menu. If you, as a mission-designer, desire so. Concerning the Multimaterial: All of the shown .rvmats are using the all-standard Super-shader. I had some experiments with the awesome multi-texture-shader, but in the end I would need about the same amount of textures (in bytes) as compared to the old fashioned "collage"-styled textures. So I stuck to the workflow I was already used to. But it's very delighting to know that I succeeded in making seemingly seamless textures without obvious repetition. :D Concerning the building interior: Currently just the villa and the facility-building have walkable interior. The reason for that is the amount of work and textures needed for achieving full walkability. So this would be to blame on my laziness, although: If I'd made all the apartments and flats walkable it would have easily added additional 100mb to the filesize. Seeing that the current size of my pack is ~120mb (and ~90mb as .7z), this really wouldn't be so critical at all, but I was given the special wish for keeping the file-size as low as possible. Maybe I'll turn the rest of the buildings into walkable ones, too - but not in near future. After building 6 houses with proper LODs (four Resolution LODs, Geometry and Fire Geometry, Paths, Roadway...) I'm just fed up with it - for now. After all there are just a few tweaks here and there and some doors for the facillity-building left to do before I will consider releasing this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mondkalb 1087 Posted August 18, 2010 The addon has been released! See First Post for more details. And, seeing BIS' recent appeal to go for licenses I clarified the licenses this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miller 49 Posted August 18, 2010 thx really great job Mondkalb :) but the script won't work ? If I load the mission in the editor I get error message and I have no radio-telescope. what am I doing wrong? :rolleyes: greetz miller Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mondkalb 1087 Posted August 18, 2010 Dangit! It was just a simple mission.sqm issue... Link is fixed and now pointing towards the correct, fixed version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kommiekat 11 Posted August 8, 2011 Hi, I'm trying to make a SP mission using your telescope on Bushlurker's Etah Plateau, Western Antarctica, but I can't find your scope in the editor, although I have loaded the your MBG Buildings mod. I'd be just happy to get the RadScope object itself. Sent you a PM with more details. Cheers, KK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
