Using Chernarus buildings in my a3 terrain without requiring other mods.

[bludski 4421]

I have searched around but...

 

I have been working on my terrain for two months now and the time has come to do some cities and industrial areas.

 

Due to the geographic style of buildings in altis I really need a lot of a2 buildings.

 

I have been searching and searching but can only find conflicting information or cases that don't really seem to apply or require other mods..

 

Here is what I want to do:

 

Have the structures on chernarus on my map and have the files included in my map folders etc as with maps like Bornholm.

 

Can somebody explain the steps to me? I have downloaded the licensed data pack.

 

(I have previously had them in terrain builder by taking them from my arma 2 installation and were able to place them but could never figure out how to get it to work when crunching my map to test ingame)

 

In the future there will be custom models converted for this map but that is far ahead. For now and at least during alpha phase of the map I need it to work as described above.

 

Thank you.

 

Here is a peek at the current state of my map if anybody cares.

you need to bring the A2 models to A3 if you like place them without any required Mod.

i can not recommend this, a lot of work to do for one person....switch over the models with the Textures its easy use Mikero MoveFolder tool.

Write a config with all the defined doors and ladders, bring this all to work its another big problem.

 

To place all the Arma 2 Objects you need to have the ca folder structure from Arma 2 on your Pdrive.

Mikeros tools are always your friends!

But after you need CUP or AIA as required addons.

Thanks. Yeah I already have enough work on my hands just doing the map visuals! What would be the best way to create the ca folders? I only need to have the chernarus structures. I'd rather not have the desert map objects available in TB.

if you have Arma 2 installed use A2P from Mikero, this tool copy all what you need to your Pdrive.

this copy all over the whole folder....

Thanks. I was foolish today and removed arma2 to make room for more source file. Is it possible to make it work just as well by using the licensed content packs? I already have them downloaded. Redownloading arma 2 is going to take me four hours!

The License Data Packs don't have the textures, you need to have a propper ca extracted from arma 2 in your p drive for movefolder to work.
