"X-Cam" and "DAC" Project

[R0adki11 3949]

I remember that one mission where you played as victor or whatever his name was and you had to drive to his office. I remember playing it a few times and it seemed like it took hours to drive from the airfield to the office. That was one of the most vivid memories I remember from my OFP days, among a few others.

Victor Troska was his name, leader of the Resistance :). I would love to see a Nogova Map in A3, would go with my Nogovan Armed Forces Project perfectly :)

Cant wait to build my missions with this wet dream of a tool :o

Thanks for your great work.

Holy sh*t, if this is for creating Terrains then it is by FAR and away the single most anticipated mod tool coming out for me...

Your approach of releasing Tutorials videos (That are amazingly clear and well presented) is also most welcome.

Keep up the fantastic work man..! :)

[silola 1087]

Many thanks :)

But, mod tool for "creating terrains" is not the right description, because you still "create" the terrain with the TerrainBuilder.

But if you have an empty terrain ready, incl. some roads, then you can give the X-Cam a try.

Awesome tutorials, you really know how to build anticipation :)

But if you have an empty terrain ready, incl. some roads, then you can give the X-Cam a try.

Oh it's ready (bar some sat layer bugs)!

[digitalcenturion 20]

Dito. Got 30 x 30 km of coastline ready, fixing up the small bugs and tweaking the roadnetwork etc waiting in anticipation. Though I will probably need some help putting in all the houses, I can't even venture a guess how many there are even if mostly rural areas :) So if you ever got the impression Silola that no one is holding their breath for your tool, you are wrong :)

I hope so, because otherwise the effort would be entirely in vain. ...........................

I'd gladly bump this thread every hour just for the sake of motivation but that would count as spamming I fear.

May I ask how much time did you invest in making this tool? Rough estimate? Looks like a full time project for me. Cant imagine you still have time for playing the actual game :D

Please don't ask me about the invested time :p

If I ask my steam profile, then I'm shocked ... round about 3.800 hours ... but not only for the X-Cam,

because there was also the DAC and the xcam_prototype map, and of course some mp sessions :D

And ... you know ... to make such a tool is also a kind of "play the game". I like all the possibilities.

Your videos make me really excited, Silola! I've just recently started work on tropical terrain and I'm quite daunted at the prospect of placing some of the items using the existing tools. I'm sure there are plenty of us who will jump all over this when it's ready for us to try! Keep up the great work! :D

[digitalcenturion 20]

Haha SIlola I only got 478hrs on Arma 3.. probably 75% of those spent playing pilgrimage :D Looking forward to placing stuff ingame. Esp the fine details like fences, clutter and so forth look to be much easier to add in X-CAM. It's so barren without all those little things littering the map.

A sneak peak of what I'm working on:
