Not really, but thanks for the compliment :P

The basic layout is done with room for more functionalities in the future. Just need to sort the scripts and make them a bit faster here and there.

 

Any more suggestions?

Hi R3vo

How would the music functionality of 3Den Enh. behave in a dedicated server environment?

Will each client play it separately, will it be synced?

Just thinking of network traffic etc.

It's only for editing and listenin to music while editing. It has no influence on the mission you built.

 Thanks for the clarification!

This is a great idea. Trying to find the right BIS music to fit in a mission is a pain. This will help a lot.

I'm using your mod too, it really makes things ALOT easier, thanks man!

 

Looking forward to the update.

Can't wait for the new version to be on Armaholic and PWS, thanks for your work!

[JD Wang 352]

Thanks R3vo, I'm not sure how anyone manages without this mod, there's just so much good stuff.

 

There's one thing that really bugs me in the editor, I don't know if it annoys anyone else or even if you could fix it, but whenever I place a unit and then go back to the list to grab another, it always seems to default to having the NATO section expanded and centred. If I collapse the NATO list it'd be super awesome if it stayed collapsed. The amount of times I've gone to place an RHS rifleman, and ended up grabbing the vanilla NATO rifleman because the list automagically expanded again is crazy.

 

Hope the explanation makes sense and really hope it's something you can fix 

 

Thanks again for all your work

Nothing I can do about that, unfortunately.

[BB_Frost 37]

I, too, find that highly irritating (where NATO and CSAT are automatically open in the units). 

 

I, too, find it hard to believe people could make missions without 3DEN Enhanced. :)  Thanks for the recent update.

[orcinus 121]

@R3vo: thank you for your continuued work on this very useful addon; very much appreciated :)

IIRC there's a ticket about that on the bugtracker; something might happen if enough people upvote it.

 

 

[zagor64bz 1225]

Sorry if this is been asked already but..is the  Soldier Tracking been removed? Can't find it in the attribute tab....

[Jnr4817 215]

R3vo,

 

Anyway to add a flashlight or laser on, like the headlight on setting?

 

Thanks,

Reed

[Sam Cotterill 1]

R3vo,

 

It seems that the "sit" animation has been removed? I am no longer able to make ai snap to a chair so they sit down on it correctly. 

 

Am i missing something? 

 

Thanks,

Sam

Hey R3vo, just came across something last night and wondered if it's something that could possibly make it into this essential mod.

 

We've just had a number of new players join our group, and a lot of them don't have APEX because they're only just getting into ARMA.

Problem is so many of our older missions apparently contain fences or objects from APEX which for some reason lock you out of the mission if you don't have them (I thought that was only supposed to happen with the island itself) 

Is there any way 3den Enhanced could highlight objects placed in the editor that are expansion objects?

 

It's really hard to go back to a mission I made months ago and pick out all the APEX dependant objects so if there was a way to highlight them (even just with map dots) it would be really helpful.

[Rich_R 1087]

Here's a workaround for the fences. I've done this for other items dropped from a mod pack and going back to old missions.

 

Assuming you didn't binarize the mission file, open up the sqf, find the classname and replace it another fence found in the vanilla game :)

 

Its a little work and attention needs to be paid to the sqm formatting, but with a little effort the stuff can be replaced with copy and paste!

[BB_Frost 37]

Yah, I absolutely hate that if I misplace a green H-barrier, suddenly people can't join.  Good job, BI.

That said, in the editor, I think the asset list on the left now has the "source" logo for all the objects.  Look through that for the Apex logo and they are easier to pinpoint, too.

[JD Wang 352]

Yeah but when you have a library of missions you built months ago, opening it up and being able to tell what is and isn't APEX restricted, and then finding it on the map is a real pain in the hole. 

And yeah you can copy/paste in the mission.sqm but then there's the chance you run the mission and things don't fit etc. Just be really nice to be able to highlight them in the editor somehow .

 

If anyone can R3vo can ;)

@R3vo Any chanche of bringing in a full ambient animations and combat ambient animation list ?  it would speed up mission building a lot

Many of those animations don't work properly in Eden, e.g., snapping to chairs.

 

That's why they were removed.

 

As long as BIS doesn't invest some time in the functions and adds more animations, from APEX for example, and makes some of the parameters (Snapping) optional, there is no way I am going to invest more time in that feature.

There is some option in the editor to get clasname or position of the objects separately. how about have a new option to get objects classname, direction, position and some kind info like this at one time?

One can already get the position and classname of an object. So I am not sure if it's worth to add another tool just to retrieve the direction.

there are separate options for classname and position, I didn't saw any option to get both of them at the same time.I 'll look for options again if I miss it.but that would be usefull if we have a signle option to get all info of the object.reduce times of ALT + TAB .
