liridonx92 10 Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) 1. I remodeled my terrain inside bulldozer and the current satellite image aswell as everything else is not showing in my imported version of the satellite image for me to create roads on for the modified bulldozer landscape that i did, for me to build roads on i might be building roads on water for all i know from the last satellite image... 2. when i go in game with my map , my current map is very small and is at the bottom left corner of the whole arma map... 3. how do you save an x-cam object placement Save file , to an actual arma 3 terrain map that i made?

major_desync 137 Posted May 6, 2015 Question 1 sounds like you need to rebuild terrain with the new heightmap and also refresh your new sat map from source and regenerate your satellite map texture layers in the processing tab. Just replacing the files in the source folder, and then refreshing from source in TB is not enough - you need to actually rebuild the terrain with the new height map, and regenerate all your layers (sat, mask, and normals if you have it) when you change them. Question 2 sounds like you have not scaled your sat map and/or height-map correctly when importing them into Terrain Builder. To solve both of these issues - I suggest you look at and follow the Atlas and Capn Caps tutorials - they'll not only help you solve these problems, but understand where problems are when they arise.

major_desync 137 Posted May 7, 2015 There's no way bohemia used bulldozer to create their maps.. Eh - TB and Buldozer are not great, but, with practice, they're surprisingly useable. I can imagine with enough of a team, they could have done their maps with it. X-Cam is far better, but is missing a few things that TB has in terms of object placement - pitch, yaw, roll, resizing, for example. TB and X-Cam together are awesome. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone know how to change the Arma Editor Difficulty? Im always on hardcore/elite/veteran... this is really frusturating to test anything.

Aus 10 Posted May 20, 2015 the size of the island is simply your terrian size multiplied by your cell size, hence 1024 terrain size x 10 metre cell size gives u an island of 10240m. so to have a 1to1 pixel/mtr your sat and mask would be 10240pixels. My island is 1600Km2 with a 20480 sat and mask, my cell size is 20 mtrs and my grid is 2048 therefore 2048x20 gives me a 40960mtr island or 40kms 40k x 40k = 1600Km2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
