eden editor 3den Enhanced

[Rockapes 103]

Never mind I am a goose, confusing the mods..lol

Firstly, what an amazing tool, the additional features and ease of use have enabled much more fluid and simple scenario design on my part. Thank you!

I have a scenario, which I have been updating regularly. This scenario should run about < 3KB for the mission.SQF file. while exploring the features of a recen 3DEN enhanced update the mission file size has jumped from < 3KB to > 17KB, no actual alterations were made except for exploring what additional options there were added to the object attributes. Upon exploring the new 17KB mission.SQF I'm seeing

the above code appear for EVERY object in the scenario (or at least that's how I'm reading it) it seems as though the additional options in the object attributes have been scripted in although they have no assigned values and/or have not been enabled in the editor. My goal through scripting has been to reduce this mission's file size and this new jump in file size has undone much of that, what is my best course of action here to eliminate this unnecessary code?

Can confirm the above, I had a mission (a training center, so a lot of static objects) which size went from ~2MB without 3denEnhanced to more than 15MB with.

So unfortunately I had to stop using the addon for the time being.

Hi @Max255I just discovered a solution.

0) Firstly make a backup of your scenario. then follow these steps

1) Exit ArmA 3

2) Disable 3Den Enhanced in your modlist

3) Launch ArmA 3 and load the editor on the same map as the mission in question

4) Click "Scenario" -> "Merge" select the scenario in question and click "Merge"

5) Once merged save the scenario under a NEW name

6) Navigate to the new scenario's folder via windows explorer

 

7) copy the mission.SQF file from the new folder to the old folder

8) ????

9) ArmA!

Thanks for your feedback.

 

Have you tried binarizing the mission file?

[Max255 59]

Binarization didn't help very much. I might have mixed up the exact numbers but pretty sure before binarization for with>without 3denEnhanced, mission size was 18>4MB and ~12>2.5MB after.

 

I do understand it's a rather large file for a mission (more than 3k objects etc.) but more than 4x buildup in the file size is quite extreme regardless.

[viperBAT44 17]

I simply will not enter 3DEN unless this mod is loaded. It's ease of use and functionality is nothing short of brilliant for me. I have over 3000 hours in the editor and I'm just now beginning to piece together functioning missions.

Deep appreciation for this must have mod.

I've got a very stupid question; How exactly do you use the extraction creator?

I'm unsure if this is an Arma 3 bug, or 3den Enhanced.  The day of the week is incorrect for the date in 2020.  For example, it lists today 14th January 2020 as a Wednesday... when it's a Tuesday 🤨

I haven't touched that. Please make a feedback tracker ticket. 

[rundabollen 2]

For the sake of avoiding double tickets of this weekday issue: I created a feedback tracker issue of this extreme and glaring issue.

A small addition. Save and restore positions for later use. Let me know what you think.

[Crielaard 435]

This looks very useful.

I Lost count of the number of Times that I found a nice location but forgot where it was.

[viperBAT44 17]

Awesome. Really enjoying this. Makes my life easier lol.

[SchwererKonigstiger 28]

I found the source of the mission bloating, and as such, I have added a ticket on the Git.
Let's hope for a quick and easy resolution!

Can you please add checkbox to enable/disable all AI features at once instead of having to check them one by one ? Thanks in advance.

That would break the attribute. What I can do though, is add a tool to the menu strip to toggle them on/off. Would that work too?

Yes that's what I thought about too. That would work for sure.
