eden editor 3den Enhanced

[Janez 507]

A stupid question maybe but who should have this mod installed and running? All players or just server?

 

Description:

This modification adds new functionalities to 3den, without creating any dependencies for players. That means, mission builder can use this mod to make their lifes easier without making the lifes of the players harder by forcing them to download additional mods.

Neither, just the mission maker when he/she is making the mission.  

 

EDIT: oops not fast enough lol

[Devastator_cm 434]

Thanks gerhart.
How to find such information by the way? Which mod needs to be installed at Client or Server or maker? Just try and error way gives that info or how? :)

[serjames 357]

It's only needed by the mission maker. The mission itself is not dependant. This is a tool to help create it.

I hope that has not yet been asked: 

Is it true that the "Hide Terrain Object" Trigger does not work in MP? For me it doesn't! I'm just asking because it could also be a mod incompatibility.

I'd really use this for an FOB and since I have no clue how to do it myself, I hoped that 3denhanced would help me! @.@

 

Nevermind...I checked the latest preview changelog!

Mod authors usually state that in mod description on front page.

For all those of you who had problems with the Sit animations e.g, characters would sink into the ground after preview. Please try if enabling the simulation of the chairs solves this issue for you.

 

Just wanted to let you know that this fixed my issue, thank you.

 

 

 

EDIT: Hmmm spoke too soon. . . . works on a chair but not on the bench  :blink:

Where to look for this??

The issue is, that BIS_fnc_ambientAnim does not dynamically attach a unit to a chair or bench. The objects where that works are predefined, and BIS haven't added new objects to the list for ages.

 

Where to look for this??

 

It's on dev branch and will be available with the next update (Most likely)

 

[serjames 357]

R3vo is there anyway to force ASL for level flight as opposed to Following an AGL pattern ? I'm trying to get overflights on Clafghan and you can imagine it's a nightmare with the huge altitude changes (forgive me if that's already documented, didn't see it on any of the options tabs when I looked)

Cheers

Edit: oops realised my iPhone had misspelled "above sea level" vs "above ground level". I.e. Terrain following

Revo, do you plan to implement an option to setup the bis_fnc_holdactionadd feature into 3den on a selected object?

 

I've been tearing my hair out trying to get it to work but am continuously running into locality issues.

 

Could have the UI set so the user can define the 9 elements in the array for the function and then have the function broadcast in MP correctly?

I am going to look into it, but it will most likely not make it into the next release.

[R3vo 2652]

Was updating my singleplayer missions when I noticed something which was incredible tedious. So I decided to solve that.

*You can spot a second useful addition, right in the beginning ;)

 

[haleks 8206]

Hell yeah!

 

BIS brings us the 3d editor, R3vo brings us the ease of use...

Thank you so much for your work mate.

Where to set a units behaviour in this mod? I lost it... How to set Safe or aware for example?

[R3vo 2652]

In the group's attributes. Click the icon above the unit you want to set the behaviour of.

[Devastator_cm 434]

Thanks :)
I thought for single users I can see the same attributes. I didn't know that it is only for groups :/

[Devastator_cm 434]

Animations of this mod is not working in dedicated server?
I thought this mod needs to be installed only when I create the mission and afterwards not required..

This issue should be fixed with the next version hopefully.

looking forward to it :)

R3vo, do you intend to implement a checkbox in the unit attributes for wheeled vehicles to cover BI's new stayonroad command?

 

Or possibly for aircraft/UAV's a checkbox for the flyinheightASL command?

I'll look into those. However the effect of the forceFollowRoad command seems to be minimal, at least from my testing.

[Slant_ 11]

@R3vo: Nice mod. Good work.

 

Couple things I noticed: Patrols break sometimes in that they start walking back and forth about 10m. I am unsure when this happens, but a squad -> 50m patrol (which then defaults to 51m) usually doesn't work very well.

Also, animations break in that they randomly turn into a direction other than the original one before they start the animation loop.

Fair enough.  I had reasonable results when combining said command with the random patrol function if given a large enough area.
