1para{god-father} 105 Posted March 10, 2015 One suggestion if possible > add random size - would be good for veg and rock placements Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeoArmageddon 958 Posted March 10, 2015 when i tried to place a road object or what ever my arma 3 crashed There are objects in Arma that can't be placed. When the objects was under the "Library"-tab, please tell me the name of the object. If it was under "Config": That is (probably) not my fault, the addon containing the road is misconfigured. Use the "Config"-Tab with caution. One suggestion if possible > add random size - would be good for veg and rock placements Possible (and already in the code, but not the UI), but it can't be visualized in ArmA3 directly. There is (sadly) no scaling for objects. But I will add a "Scale" option nevertheless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappihuan 178 Posted March 11, 2015 you could try to visualize it by scaling the 'boundingbox visualisation' that you have, one could guess how big the object should be while scaling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeoArmageddon 958 Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) you could try to visualize it by scaling the 'boundingbox visualisation' that you have, one could guess how big the object should be while scaling. That's is what I will try to do. But there won't be any direct mouse scaling. I will implement a "object inspector" where you can edit an objects properties like position, pitch, bank , yaw and scale. That should be a reasonable compromise.

Fallout_12 10 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Is there a way to rotate the camera around? The Alt key isn't working, it just speeds up the camera. Disregard this, just saw the post like 3 up from this. Edited March 16, 2015 by Fallout_12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 17, 2015 I uploaded 0.7.2 with a small fix in the SQM export function:Download: Map Builder 0.7.2 Thanks for this amazing tool. I created a thread about it here : http://altisdev.com/index.php?/topic/3543-3d-editor-map-builder. Yeah i'm french but whatever, i like your addon ! :) Please remember to push the update (0.7.2) on Armaholic website. It might be confusing. Btw, I would like you to add this feature : An object group system, just like the used objects window you just implemented. Well the same thing with user defined groups (I think you already planned that but yeah... Just checking) Thanks again, You're doing an amazing work ! Your french fan, Harmdhast ps: sorry i'm not speaking english very well :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Santa Six 10 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) What interface size do you use? I've tried normal and large at 16:9 1600x900 and the UI is still cropped. Selecting already placed objects is extremely difficult compare to how easy it was in v0.6 alpha. The Ctrl+LMB for height was more responsive when it was LMB+RMB. It now takes meany mouse slides to get the desired height. Although the new Fencing feature is outstanding along with the drop down objects list.

Look like the text is too large, I will tweak that a little bit. Thanks for the screenshot :D Selecting already placed objects is extremely difficult compare to how easy it was in v0.6 alpha. The Ctrl+LMB for height was more responsive when it was LMB+RMB. It now takes meany mouse slides to get the desired height. Nothing changed with selecting objects?!? Also the change in height adjustment has nothing to do with the new keybinding, I just made it slower for better positioning, as I thought that in most cases you don't want to move objects (mostly buildings and plants) more than a few meter height. But I will look into both! Although the new Fencing feature is outstanding along with the drop down objects list. Thanks, there is more to come! I have spawned in a large amount of soldiers, but they are showing up as an "Empty" faction. Is there anyway i can make them blufor? Map Builder is not intended for placing units. That is what Zeus is for (and it does a splendid job in placing units). Map Builder is for placing static objects and creating places, bases and compositions.

NeoArmageddon 958 Posted March 18, 2015 Do the trees, and vegetation in general, keep the gpu animation? What do you mean with GPU animation? Most objects are not animated when placing in Map Builder, but they will be when reimported to TB (like the windturbines and swinging trees). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zukov 490 Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) you are right, i wrote bad ;) in some engines is called gpu animation like idtech 3 i mean the wind animations on vegetations Edited March 18, 2015 by Zukov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
