Gnome_AS 10 Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) [AS] Editor Updates Current project goal is a set of EU's for A2/OA/CO. All 3 available in 2 formats, Lite or Full. The project as a whole is currently about 98% done, and is expected to be completed sometime in the future. In the meanwhile I'm releasing the OA betas. Should you happen across anything that doesn't work right, or find something missing, please let me know. Regardless of timing on future releases, current beta's are fully functional and will be compatible with future releases. All files are signed for MP usage. Notable information: -Lite Versions: Are intended for mission makers. They contain only pre-defined config references, thus the mission maker does not need to worry about requiring people to have the EU to play their missions. (Lite versions are currently under review, seems some objects are adding a requirement for the mod on the mission side.) -Full Versions: Full versions are just that, they've got it all. Including new icons, numerous manually defined objects such as roads, plants, lights and etc. The Full version requires all parties to have the mod to function properly. (servers & clients) In both versions I have taken the time to add some additional information to the displayNames of the objects. Most notably accessable buildings. Which currently follow the below naming convention: XXL_4F_RA_61BP - WIP Breakdown: XXL - General size of the building footprint. (XS-XXL currently) 4F - Number of floors. (1st floor is ground level) RA - Indicates whether or not there is roof access. (no RA = no roof access) 61BP - Number of available positions within/around the building. (not saying they all work, but they are there) WIP - Building/Object Name. (Left most of BIS's default names, upgraded some for clarity/detail) Additional Thingies: -Damaged & Ruins models included. -Destruction effects for objects that required such (Full versions only) -New Clutter Cutters are included. (invisible roadways: from 1m² round -> 25x75m rectangular pieces ;)) (Full versions only) Currently objects are sorted/organized within the following vehicleClasses: [AS] Commercial - Commercial buildings [AS] Industrial - Industrial buildings, equipment, pipes, tanks etc. [AS] Interioir - All the little things you find inside buildings. [AS] Lights - Lights, Streetlamps, etc. (Full Versions Only) [AS] Military - Military buildings, fortifications, targets etc. [AS] Misc - Lot's of misc. things. Imagine that. [AS] Plants - Bushes, Clutter, Trees and things. (Full Versions Only) [AS] Residential - Residential houses, apartments and the like. [AS] Roads - All roadway, path, airport surfaces. (Full Versions Only) [AS] Rocks - Rocks, boulders, ground clutter. (Full Versions Only) [AS] Sidewalks - Sidewalks (Full Versions Only) [AS] Signs - Didn't realize there were so many signs... (Full Versions Only) [AS] Walls - Exterior walls and the like. (Full Versions Only) [AS] Wrecks - All the vehicle wreck models. (Full Versions Only) [AS] Mosque Set - Contains all the pieces of the large mosque. (OA only) Clutter cutters can be found in the [AS] Plants vehicleClass.

Gnome_AS 10 Posted November 23, 2010 Still trying to evade work here ... unsuccessfully as of recent. Hope to finish this up during the week though, found an issue with addon requirements in the Lite versions, but believe to have that fixed now. (thanks SNKMAN ;)) Will update OA Lite and release A2/CO alphas in the next couple of days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gnome_AS 10 Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) Updated OA release to beta. Finally sorted out the clutter cutter stuff. I made new ones, planning to make more. Feedback on the sizes wanted/needed would be helpful. Thats about it for now, A2/CO releases are pretty much done also ... just need to rename a lot of things to english equivalents. Hopefully this weekend, we'll see. Somebody let me know if I jacked the keys up ... seemed straight forward. Edited December 11, 2010 by Gnome_AS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gnome_AS 10 Posted December 16, 2010 Loam walls eh... yep I'll look into it. I vaguely recall having issues with some of those models. Also looking into the server key issue. Excuse my noobness with that. Thanks for the info guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HateDread 13 Posted December 26, 2010 Howdy Gnome, If I were using this addon for editing stuff, but then decided to start gaming (say, to test said mission), would it affect behaviour? It seems to pick up on house objects easier? Could that modify how the AI percieves my orders? For example, instead of moving into a gap between houses, they think I am talking about a house, and run to it (albeit on the opposite side to where I wanted). Otherwise it's just my crappy commanding skills ^^ - HateDread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gnome_AS 10 Posted January 5, 2011 Sorry for the really delayed reply here... forgot about this thread for a minute. (all pro i know). Regarding the addon effecting the AI, I think thats highly unlikely. Although, I'm not really up-to-speed on how the map click interactions function ... which is the only place I could imagine there perhaps being a "special issue". Again though, initial thought is it's unlikely. --- Regarding the status of this project, it's very much in the works. I decided to make things a little more robust and bring back some familiar objects. So I've been modeling/texturing some simple things, about 75% done. (wall pieces, barriers, ramps, stairs, planks, logs and things) Robalo actually sorted the configs for me over the holidays, so I'll try to get a revision up here over the next couple of days. His improvements I'll have to transfer over in the A2/CO releases also, so likely to be a couple weeks more on those as work is somewhat hectic atm. Hopefully have a full release with objects and all around the end of the month. (life permitting) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperDeluxe 10 Posted February 18, 2011 Hello, just FYI, when using the Full OA version i had a error message about road icon. It seems the road/config.bin calls for a road.paa file and in the pbo under the icons folder the file was named roads.paa so it couldn't load it. Renaming it to road.paa worked to fix the problem. Doesn't seem very important, but i was using the RTE addon and that error message corrupted my save files when i had roads on my map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gnome_AS 10 Posted February 19, 2011 Thanks for the heads up SuperDeluxe, I'll post an update tomorrow. (been needing to do so for a while actually) So that'll fix your issue along with a massive tweak to the config structure to address some other slighty major issues. .

Darkhorse 1-6 16 Posted February 19, 2011 Still working on the A2 version? Also, is this just all the stuff that was hidden in OA? Or is it that + custom objects? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
