Drifter 167 Posted March 10, 2016 Hello, some may know about my other terrain Southern Waziristan, Pakistan. That terrain is still my number one priority, although since this terrain is significantly smaller in size to Waziristan, it will probably be finished first.About this project:This terrain is based in the Ghazni Province of Afghanistan. For a google maps location click here. This terrain will be as close to the real life satellite images. The structures will be different, but the compounds layouts, roads, foliage and geographical features will be as accurate as I can get them. This terrain is intended for missions like foot patrols. For those realism units or groups that like to do some foot patrol missions, this might be a terrain to try out. Required Addons: JBAD_Buildings Time span:This project will hopefully be released soon for the initial release, I may release an Alpha version on a unknown date.Pictures: Reveal hidden contents Thanks to:MilkM8n and smokedog for Jbad BuildingsArmA 3 community 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drifter 167 Posted April 5, 2016 This doesn't amaze or shock me, but the new ArmA 3 EDEN update broke something. I can no longer pack any of my terrains that I have private updates for and public release updates, I can no longer produce updates to play in-game. I can still work on the terrains and all, but I can no longer test them in-game or pack them to be playable in-game, which angers me. So, I guess we play the waiting game and see if anyone can help me fix this ridiculous issue. https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/189664-mikero-tools-issue-arma-3-not-working-when-packing-my-terrains-screenshot-provided/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drifter 167 Posted April 5, 2016 Disregard my last post. Found the issue out, but I am gonna have to use the BI Addon Builder, which seems to work for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drifter 167 Posted April 5, 2016 *DISAPPOINTING UPDATE* All of my terrains are on hold. I can no longer work on these terrains due to these reasons: 1. Mikero's Tools (Free version) are broken with the new update and have not been updated. He has a paid version that is updated with the newest ArmA update, but I honestly am not willing to pay for them. 2. Bohemia's tools are frustrating, I can't stand them. I am encountering an issue where I can pack the terrain for in-game use, BUT... when I go in game and go to the editor to prepare screenshots and testing. The terrain is no where to be seen on the list of maps to be loaded. I'm sure I am not doing something right. I watched tutorials on how to use Addon Builder for terrains and still nothing. No good results from the new update. I can't produce maps if I can't get my projects packed. Well, I will see you guys hopefully soon, either when a new free version comes out of Mikero's Tools "PBOProject" or someone helps me with the BI Tools issue.

Private Evans 498 Posted April 6, 2016 Doing a completely fresh install of the mod tools including all user configs, P drive etc etc did the trick for me :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember that the latest versions had that kind of problem. I am running v3.29.5.24 although I found a work around! My terrain is now loading in game and I can run around and all. BUT... when I load in 2D editor. The map does not show the gray outlines of objects and buildings for some reason, BUT... when I go in game to run around and play. The buildings are there along with walls and so on. So what I did was pack the map up with ArmA 3 Addon Builder. Go into the packed PBO it produced, grabbed the WRP and replaced the WRP in my projects folder with the packed one and PBO'd it with Eliteness and it worked. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
