The Mega Help Me Thread V2

[gingerlikeme 6]

First of all i want to say a massive thank you to everyone that helped me on my first "Mega Help Me Thread" as i am please to say all the errors on that thread have been solved and development on my terrain has continued. But, sadly here we are a couple of months on and i am afraid a new list of questions have to be asked. So here goes nothing:

 

1. Clutter Not Spawning - I have looked at endless examples of peoples cfgClutter.h files and i cant spot the difference. Below is a list of all files you might need to please may you take a look.

2. Map not present in editor - Again below are the files can you spot the error of why my map is not appearing in-game?

 

That is all for now, i will add things as they pop up.

Oh well for your cluster you're missing a set of entries that assigns the clutter to the surface. With the configuration I can't say because I have never seen a configuration look like the or inherit from anything like that

i have the same clutter problem (not solved so far)

 

for your 2nd problem :

i see that you use minus values  "    mapArea[] = { -20.267975, 174.002838, -20.135266, 174.14566 };   "  i think that the values you use is for 81920 islands........

try those values is from my island "  mapArea[] = {25.011957,39.718452,25.481527,40.094578};   " try  because my island is  20480 and with this i have a working map .

I do not remember from where i found the values . i have made my island from arma2 , and now is almost ready for A3 

 

edit:

 

mapZone = 35; //--- UTM zone
        mapArea[] = { //--- lon/lat coordinates (not in UTM to assure .kml precision)
            XX.XXXXXX, XX.XXXXXX, //--- Map Bottom Left 
            XX.XXXXXX, XX.XXXXXX} //--- Map Top Righ

How do I get the values for my map area

?

[dragonsyr 21]

i think you can use TB for this

[gingerlikeme 6]

ok will have a look

 

 

 

*EDIT*

 

I used the stratis CFG and edited it to suit my map and it still doesn't appear in my editor map list :(

what do you mean with doesn't appear in my editor map list?

you cant see your island ingame? or you dont have map with grids ingame as player? (m button)

change this in your config

after you change the names for your island (i dont know if SRI is the correct name .(see bellow for the folder of your mod)

#define _ARMA_

//ndefs=13
enum {
    destructengine = 2,
    destructdefault = 6,
    destructwreck = 7,
    destructtree = 3,
    destructtent = 4,
    stabilizedinaxisx = 1,
    stabilizedinaxesxyz = 4,
    stabilizedinaxisy = 2,
    stabilizedinaxesboth = 3,
    destructno = 0,
    stabilizedinaxesnone = 0,
    destructman = 5,
    destructbuilding = 1
};

//Class map_altis : config.bin{
class CfgPatches
{
class SRI
{
units[] = {"SRI"};
weapons[] = {};
requiredVersion = 1.0;
requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F","A3_Roads_F","A3_Structures_F","A3_Map_Data"};
};
}; 

also check this line in your cpp

worldName = "Skyland Republic Island 2\Skyland Republic Island 2.wrp";

this must be the folder of your mod. (i dont thing that you can use spaces. use underscore insteed) must be SRI/SRI.wrp) see your wrp name in your mod folder.

 

edit for your needs

and replace all yours lines you see under class weather 6 

hazeDistCoef = 0.1;
        hazeFogCoef = 0.98;
        hazeBaseHeight = 0;
        hazeBaseBeta0 = 8e-005;
        hazeDensityDecay = 0.00036;
        horizonParallaxCoef = 0.0;
        horizonFogColorationStart = "0.8f";
		skyFogColorationStart = "0.7f";
		soundMapSizeCoef = 4;
		satelliteNormalBlendStart = 10;
		satelliteNormalBlendEnd = 100;
		skyObject = "A3\Map_Stratis\data\obloha.p3d";
		horizontObject = "A3\Map_Stratis\data\horizont.p3d";
		skyTexture = "A3\Map_Stratis\data\sky_semicloudy_sky.paa";
		skyTextureR = "A3\Map_Stratis\data\sky_semicloudy_lco.paa";
		terrainBlendMaxDarkenCoef = "0.85f";
        terrainBlendMaxBrightenCoef = "0.15f";
		access = 3;
		worldId = 500;
		cutscenes[] = {"SRI_intro1"};
		description = "SRI V 1.0";
		icon = "SRI\icons\workico.paa"; //your icon
		worldName = "\SRI\SRI.wrp"; //your folder path to nameofyour.wrp
		previewVideo = "";
		pictureMap = "A3\map_Altis\data\pictureMap_ca.paa"; //your pic
        pictureShot = "A3\map_Altis\data\ui_Altis_ca.paa";  //your pic
		plateFormat = "A#$-####";
		plateLetters = "ABCDEGHIKLMNOPRSTVXZ";
		author = "Harry Catraz"; // your name
		mapSize = 20480;
		mapZone = 35;
		mapArea[] = {25.011957,39.718452,25.481527,40.094578};//try with this
		longitude = 24; //your long here
		latitude = -37; //your lat here
		elevationOffset = 0;
		minHillsAltitude = 80;
		maxHillsAltitude = 200;
		mapDrawingBrightnessModifier = 1.5;

edit: also add those lines  under class names

safePositionAnchor[] = {15667,15791.3}; //a point for seagull view
		safePositionRadius = 7000;
		loadingTexts[] = {"SRI Island","Created by you","Terrain","any words"}; 

so in your config must look like this

class Names
    {
    #include "cfgNames.h"
    };
	safePositionAnchor[] = {15667,15791.3}; //a point for seagull view
	safePositionRadius = 7000;
	loadingTexts[] = {"SRI Island","Created by you","Terrain","any words"};
    
	class CfgLensFlare 

i hope this help you
