Try reading this post and see if anything in there helps you: Bushlurker's Clutter Post

Hehe that was him in the thread ;)

Hehe that was him in the thread ;)

It was directed at Wodzu I just didn't include anyway for people to know that apparently.

I fixed mine doing this, as Bushlurker suggested:

- Go to OPFEC and register a new TAG for your creations (this its not needed but eventually you need it)

- Rename every single material, surface and clutter with your new tag, like "TAG_greengrass", "TAG_pineclutter", etc. this includes also the Layers.cfg definitions.

- Edit texture names under \data to match your new names, also edit the RVMAT files with the new names.

- Edit the config and set the name of the map class as "A3_Map_Yourmapname" just after "class CfgPatches", like this:

#define _ARMA_

//Class config.bin{
class CfgPatches
{
class A3_Map_Yourmapname
{
 units[] = {"Yourmapname"};
 weapons[] = {};
 requiredVersion = 1.0;
 version = "30/07/2011";
 fileName = "yourmapname.pbo";
 author = "Username";
};

Re-generate mask layers into Terrain Builder to update the new names of materials.

And pray to Zeus

Unfortunately, after almost ten attempts with different configurations of clutter does not work. I did exactly as he wrote Bushlurker and still something is wrong. I miss the ideas already. In fact, even now clutter PINE does not work

Post all you configs again with the updated Versions

cfgclutter has no changed, its default

[m1lkm8n 411]

You need to add tags to all the clutter classes in cfgclutter then do the same tag naming scheme In the cfgsurfacecharacter config.

Example.

class [color="#FF0000"]yourtag_[/color]StrGrassDryGroup: DefaultClutter
		{
			model = "A3\plants_f\Clutter\c_StrGrassDry_group.p3d";
			affectedByWind = 0.65;
			swLighting = "true";
			scaleMin = 0.65;
			scaleMax = 1.0;
		};

class isla_drygrass_Character
 	{
		probability[] = {0.99};
		names[] = {"[color="#FF0000"]yourtag_[/color]StrGrassDryGroup"};
};

There's a couple of small errors in your config (see the "// comments"), and one important bit - your clutter definitions #include, was in the wrong place... I suspect that might be the fundamental cause of your clutter issues...

#define _ARMA_

//Class config.bin{
class CfgPatches

               requiredVersion = 0.1;
               requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Map_Stratis"};

Well, I edited the cfgclutter, and the config of your proposal Bushlurker, unfortunately, no clutter does not work. The grass is not all over the map. In addition, I generated a new layers in the Terrain Builder
