Cookie77 1 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Hey guys, So i took on the task of trying to make my own map... Its a tough one, but I hope to make it possible with some of your guys help..

m1lkm8n 411 Posted February 27, 2014 Well in that second picture I notice you have you project in the ca folder. *Never* place anything inside the ca folder. Keep your projects in the root p drive. Move that folder out and you should be ok since the p3d is looking for e76_therestofthepath which if placed in ca and not the root of your p drive would be a cause of the p3d not finding the correct path.

Cookie77 1 Posted February 27, 2014 You my friend are my hero... One question do I need to move all the objects I placed into the map into the map folder after and pack it? Or no.. Can you explain the possibilities of that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m1lkm8n 411 Posted February 27, 2014 I'm not quite sure what you mean. Let me ask this tho from looking at that initial picture, this island is for a3 correct? And if so are you placing a3 objects? If not what objects are you placing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cookie77 1 Posted February 28, 2014 Im using the source files from applegate for the roads side walks etc, that were released on the bi forums. Than I am using some buildings made by me like a tow shop and stuff... I am making the map for a3 that is correct as I am thinking/hoping its the same as the arma 2 manuals which is what im going off of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m1lkm8n 411 Posted March 1, 2014 Ok well currently the only way to place a3 objects with v3 is to use placeholders as v3 doesn't understand the new odol models. But if your using your own objects just add them to either the natural object or artifical objects list and place as normal. Then just package that folder structure up as a pbo and make sure it's in the required adding of your island config and your good to go. For animated objects the folder structure of that pbo needs to be inside your main terrain folder. So if your terrain folders is this mytag\myterrainname And you have a folder with all your objects called mystructures. The mystructures folder with only the configs in it ,no p3ds, goes inside your mytag folder. Alternately you can use a new packing tool from mikero called pboproject which all you need to do is list all those folders in a special box in the program and the program will take care of all that for you. I highly recommend pboproject. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
