That wasn't meant to be a bug report (although looking back at it, it does sound like one), but ok.

 

Even if it isn't meant as bug report, what you describe is certainly a bug in panelaks LODs we were not aware of ;)

 

Writing a short ticket with some simple repo steps will help us a lot!

It's fixed in the next update, which you can expect soon™. If you're on your death bed and your last dying wish is to have dust effects on the CUP Terrains and Tanoa, then I can give you a small PBO that fixes it.

I've been missing dust effects on Takistan for two years. No other single thing has displaced dust effects at the top of my Christmas list.

Except now. Now, I need a mop and a bucket.

[CUP 1532]

 

It's unfortunately been awhile since our last update, but we've accomplished a lot during that time. With this update we have decided to split CWA (also known as Cold War Rearmed²) into its own package, separate from Core and Maps. CWA will use our new CUP-L license. After consultation with our contributors, we are also taking this opporunity to allow the use of CUP Terrains Core and Maps (not CWA) on servers that are approved by BI for monetization. We reiterate, you may ONLY use CUP Terrains Core and CUP Terrains Maps packages on monetized servers if you follow the rules of monetization and your server is on Bohemia Interactive's list of approved servers.

 

Google Drive, Armaholic, and SteamWS. PWS may follow shortly as well. You can find the links here on our website.

To recap what the packages encompass:
    CUP Terrains Core - A1 & A2 buildings and objects - no required addons
    CUP Terrains Maps - A1 & A2 maps - requires CUP Terrains Core
    CUP Terrains CWA - CWR² buildings, objects and maps - requires CUP Terrains Core and CUP Terrains Maps
    CUP Terrains Complete - contains the previous mentioned packages (Core, Maps, and CWA) all in one download

Here are the changelogs:

Would you guys know offhand exactly which maps had the conversion to JBAD buildings or had buildings changed in general? The ALiVE team is likely going to have to reindex these maps so having a list should shorten the downtime.

 

Is there a more extensive changelog posted somewhere that can be referenced for this?

We replaced the Arrowhead buildings with JBAD counterparts. So I assume atleast Takistan and Zargabad. Most likely many more community maps like Al Rajak, Panthera, Isla Duala, etc

Building class names, paths to models, and positions should be the same. The only thing that should have changed is related to animations. The majority of JBAD buildings were for structures_e, which like Neo stated, are used on Takistan and Zargabad. However, all of the A2 terrains will have received upgraded buildings, in some cases it might only be one or two new buildings, but it's probably best to play it safe and reindex the maps.

 

If needed I could put together a list of specific buildings that were updated, but I don't really have an easy method of telling you what maps use those specific buildings.

Thanks. I'm not really sure what to make of the changes in relation to ALiVE then. I'll have to ping Tupolov.

 

Depending on how this works, *worst case,* it's very possible just about every map ever released will need some re-indexing (I'm not complaining. I think the changes you guys made were for the best). 

 

I'll try to get some more info and I'll report back (possibly with a pitch for users to come on over and lend a hand, me included!).

 

Thanks guys.

Pretty frustrated with myself for not spotting this during testing, but there is an issue with the furthest distant LOD on 11 objects being a white box/plane. There could be more, but I've already fixed the ones mentioned in this ticket.

 

Here is an example image of the issue:

 

This will be hotfixed, but I'd like to give it another day first to see if there are any other hotfix worthy issues that pop up.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

No dramas! Thank you for the update. (:

What happened to the CWA Objects?

 

Cannot create non-ai vehicle Land_cwa_Hangar

Cannot create non-ai vehicle Land_cwa_zavora

Warning Message: Cannot open object cup\terrains\cup_terrains_cwa_misc\cwa_pneu.p3d

 

Edit:  CUP Terrains CWA - CWR² buildings, objects and maps - requires CUP Terrains Core and CUP Terrains Maps

2nd Edit: restarted server with cup maps and buildings still not showing (Land_cwa_Hangar)

[icebreakr 3157]

Pennyworth: we've been able to see triangle placeholders for cargo (passengers) on UH60s, like some far lods, flying around 500m away from the camera. Can you check that?

 

Baklava: are you aware that CWA objects are now in separate pack? Terrains Complete probably has them in, but I'm sure Core & Maps exclude them now?

[lakp 11]

In my opinion incorporating JBAD buildings is not a good idea. It should be a separate mod

 

It is especially bad for stealth missions thanks to buildings such as the Military Command Center which has a bunch of bright dynamic lights. It doesn't seem like the original buildings were left in either.

I've noticed the Cold War terrains lack a Steam upload. I'm presuming there is an issue with authors' wishes and no Steam upload of the Cold War maps should be expected?

Congratulations on the 1.3.0 release, gentlemen!!!!! 

 

By any chance does someone have an official checksum of the 1.3.0 Terrain complete zip file? My results are:

Is this using playWithSix ? If so then restart / refresh. The update only showed up now for my core, although the maps updated an hour ago.

We favor improved and updated maps for more versatile and varied gameplay over some rare (and visual) edge cases. And you can always shoot out the light at those new buildings or use one of the common "power outage"-scripts out there.

sooooo, can we shoot out windows and streetlights on Takistan now?

 

Windows: Yes. Streetlights: AFAIK thatw as fixed aswell, but need to check (or let Penny answer this).

 

 

@all: There will be a Hotfix with some minor fixes somewhere at the end of this week. Please make sure to create tickets for all new major or minor bugs you encounter in 1.3.0, so we can fix them in time.

Did anyone else experience broken CUP? Literally overnight, several of my mission files are missing objects:

MBG_Noe_Buildings

CUP_cwa_misc

and others.

 

nvm, just saw post previous page.

It would be nice to take out the lights via sqf without damaging the whole building. Unfortunately some JBAD buildings don't have light hit points to use. Worse, some JBAD buildings have indestructible lights (the middle eastern shop houses).

In addition, the Military Command Center's 8 dynamic lights uses up a lot of the dynamic light count, even at ultra, causing more dynamic light pop-in. BIS didn't add indoor lights for stock Arma 3 for a good reason.
