[Arma 3] Export problem for Terrain builder from Eden Editor

[Sezon.dev 7]

Hello, my name is sezon, I would like to point out a problem when I try to export my project to missions for ground builder. Effectively when importing the txt file with the positions of the buildings, one can see that the objects are all in the air with respect to the card. I enclose below screenshots of the project under Eden Editor and under Terrain Builder. Thank you very much.

 

In Eden Editor

 

 

 

In Terrain Builder

You have to import in TB as file>import>objects then tick "advanced", try picking "absolute". And if that don't work, try picking Relative.

 

Also just so you know, TB doesn't import rotation correct from Eden or X-cam, So if you rotate a object upside, it won't import like that! It only imports yew, not pitch or roll

How to do it in case you need roll or other?

Using Buldozer in Terrian Builder is the only way

[Sezon.dev 7]

But xcam does it well (export with these parameters) why we could not adapt it to eden editor? Use buldozer this will take a long time ??

[RoF 241]

X-cam doesn't export pitch and roll either. Buldozer is easy to use once you learn it, plus you can change the terrain as you go.

[Sezon.dev 7]

 

I can tell you that xcam keeps relative values and not just absolute values!

[RoF 241]

Nether x-cam or eden, import pitch or roll correct into TB. I think the slope function in x-cam may "sometimes" work, if the model has land contact points. But I don't do modeling so can't be sure.

[Cosmo_D41 117]

Right, pitch and roll dont work with XCam either. But the slope function is depending on the modell itself. After some time you get used to which models work with slope and which dont. (Same as walls or fences that adopt to the terrain-slopes)

[Sezon.dev 7]

Okay, I think you do not make modding, and so I'll explain. An object has a ground contact from when the object itself to a geometry with a mass. All objects of arma 3 are made with a mass. So all can follow a slope. Xcam handles it very fat to a calculation. I do not understand why the plugin in eden does not integrate it ... So a lot I will do on xcam because it handles the position of the objects exactly as when editing.

lol

 

Think what you want, its your time your wasting
