[silola 1086]

Thanks for the awesome tool. I'm having a lot of fun making stuff with it.

LOL ... you are crazy.

I don't know if this is a XCAM issue or a terrain builder issue but I create my city with XCAM and import the city into TB and after I export the map from TB and import into arma again for another round of XCAM some of the builders disapper specificly my A2 ones. Do you know what is going on here? The buildings appear in the 2D and 3D editors in TB so I don't know what the issue is?

@LukePRTR, have you 'copied' over the relevant files to your P drive?

It could be because you have not added the right required addons for the A2 structures to your terrain config file.

Check your "Required addons" line on your config file, and maybe take a look at the same line in the config for the X-cam prototype map to see how they handled it.

Sorry, that's not possible.

But why exactly, do you need such a function?

Sorry if the question has been asked, not sure if I missed it in the tutorial videos either. But is it possible to save vehicles to a project like you would objects? If so, then how would I be able to do that?

[t-800a 151]

Sorry you haven't missed it, there is no option for that at the moment. It's just pure object placement for now.

If I use x-cam for a mission, I place down some containers where I want vehicles and then replace them later in the editor (for empty vehicles).

That's actually a really handy trick, thanks for the reply.

PS: First X-Cam update is araound the corner.

Can you reveal what is in the update or is it a surprise??

Also I'm curious about the DAC functions inside XCam.. .I see you can create zones, etc.. is this documented anywhere or still a work in progress?

[robowilso 40]

I see many posts focused on ex/importing to terrain builder with X-cam but how likely is it that this powerful tool could be used as a [much needed] 3d editor for mission makers?

[miketim 20]

When I opened x-cam for the first time, it didnt give me any menu about libraries or anything.. so i have no way to load the ones i want :confused:

The release of the update is tomorrow. And yes, all about units, vehicles, weapons and DAC is WIP.

I think the "new" Bohemia editor will do that job. We all hope for a new "modern" 3D mission editor, but who knows what we get.

It's important to have the @inidbi folder installed within the Arma 3 root folder.

Make sure you have copied the "make_file.dll" into the Arma 3 root folder.

Delete all files within this folder: "@inidbi\db\xCam\Library_Obj", but don't delete this folder.

With XCam you can create anything you like then save it either as a mission.sqm file or a script file that you can run at mission init... it is the ultimate 3D editor.

Hi,

I've released the first X-Cam update.

Excellent!

Thank you for this very good editor ! Made the project retained as shown in the video tutorial â„–20. But not know how to throw it on my server ? which files , where to register ? please tell me , I think not alone in facing this problem since even a novice in this matter. I am Russian with English not so good writing through an interpreter. I would be very grateful if you show the problem on video or in pictures. Thanks in advance for your help.

[silola 1086]

Hi Atom89,

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you want to create content for a MP mission, or do you want to work together with the X-Cam in MP?
