EDIT : New Problem at last Message 5

 

 

Hey,

 

I am a starter at Mapping and i was following the Atlas Guide. It would be awesome if someone help me out, because without any help i cant spend my freetime positiv XD

But at some Points i have some problems.So under this Thread i will ask for different questions.

 

I was using the "Addon Builder Arma 3 Tool" to create the Addon. = maybe some mistakes i dont knew, but i got  for my 1024mx1024m flat world a 46mb File so i thought it worked.( better then the 1kb file before XD )

 

One Problem i have right now is that i dont see the Map in the Editor of Arma 3. I followed the Atlas Guise so dont knew what is wrong.

 

Here u can see a video of my Map Files and the try to put it into Arma 3

Try :

 

Addon source directory :

 

P:\Jeff  instead of P:\Jeff\Jeff_Flat

 

Your map should appears in the editor.

hey ;)

At first thx that u wand to help me ( :

 

- " Source directory path is not subfolder of Project directory "  

 

I started to check different settings.

- I was trying " source directory = Jeff\Jeff_Flat\source " but then the size of the file is 205 KB and the name of the BIS file is not  "Jeff_Flat", its "source"

and still no map in the Game. 

 

Edit:
Because for my First Project i dont need Roads, Objects, Streets, I stoped at the Atlas Guide at "10" and started at "14", between this topics it tells u to change some names in some files,this was done before.

hum, for me it fixed the issue ! you probably have a config issue.

 

Your pbo has to be here : @yourmap\Addons\yourmap.pbo

 

You should try with pboproject !  you have a better log of the addon's compilation, maybe it will show you what is wrong with your config !

 

good luke !

@Xnam

Nice that you are interested in my problem, but that was not my mistake, it was a mistake but not the mistake which changed somethink.

But still thanks ( :

 

 

After installing Arma 3 Tools new and getting the Mikeros tools, i created a new map, but i have now different Problems.

 

1    =   But there are now someproblems to follow the Atlas Guide, i cannot  add objects from the A3 file to my "Library Manager", because the A3 file is empty,

            only a empty file called "Data_F" . But there is an  "A3_Retail "  with my @ files from the Workshop and some other files.

           On the Atlas GUide it says for an Object "b_FircusC2s_F" but i have "b_FircusB2s_F" and "t_FircusB1sF"

 

2  = I cannot move in the Buldozer and there is no texture only the heightmap but i was doing everythink from Atlas Guide, i was following some Ytubers they are using 2 mapframes but this wasn´t a fix. If i                press "F1" in the Buldozer i see 4 black            lines in the midle i can click on them but there is nothink to read only black fields, maybe this tells u my problem.

       (The settings how to move i can see in the Atlas Guide)

      = As u can see he cannot open the different files. I dont knew why there is a problem because i never was writing any script file. I am using the Atlas Guide.
      = But i knew that it can be a File LInk problem, so i was searching for differents and i saw: 

 

            In "cfgSurfaces"                                                                                        In " data " the file names...

 

= files = "map_map_isleofman_soil_*";                    =             map_map_isleofman_soil                  ( RVMAT )

=files = "map_map_isleofman_grass_green_*";      =             map_map_isleofman_grass_green    ( RVMAT )

=files = "map_map_isleofman_forest_pine_*";        =             map_map_isleofman_forest_pine       ( RVMAT )

=files = "map_map_isleofman_dry_grass_*";          =             map_map_isleofman_dry_grass          ( RVMAT )

=files = "map_map_isleofman_dirt_*";                     =             map_map_isleofman_dirt                      ( RVMAT )
