Extended Fortifications Mod

Sustainable security solutions for your safety.

 

More than 1 year after announcing and hundreds of working hours, im happy to release the third public version 0.7 of the Extended Fortifications Mod.

It contains a variety of 94 modular base elements aiming at the extension of vanilla fortifications by adding the possibility of creating contorted military

outposts on small areas, mountain bases, checkpoints aswell as the refining of big sized, military bases.

 

As Im going to be absent for 6 month from September on, please submit suggestions or bugs before that time.

[R0adki11 3949]

Very nice, congrats on the release 

[Crielaard 435]

Its the small and simple mods like this which make arma great. Especially when they are small in data size like thisone.

 

great job.

[kremator 1065]

Very nice modifications there !

[Rich_R 1087]

This is a much needed addition to the game and looks great. Congrats on your hard work and thank you for bringing this to community.

 

You asked for feed back, here are few things to take into consideration.

• Make the ground elements (Dirt, plywood etc) cut grass when they're placed. Some objects do this in game, when placed, they remove ground vegetation. This will save mission makers have to use additional assets of grass cutters when using your much needed mod
• Offer some elements in bigger swatches. Dirt, plywood and even the camo net could be offered in 5m square and maybe 10 m square? These are the options in some ground pieces in the CUP pack and shouldn't necessarily replace what you've already done, but add to it and allow mission makers the ability to do more with less :)
• A version of the plywood that looks dirty (as if it had been walked on)
• You can currently walk through the dirt filled boxes
• Offer the stairs in a smaller size

I do a lot of base building for my missions and had wondered if I could ever make something that looks a lot like what you've done, so kudos. Great effort and great job. To coin a phrase, 'You had me with the stairs!'

[mondkalb 1087]

Congratulations for pulling through with this project! Glad to see feedback being incorporated before the release, too.

You declared this as version 0.5, may I ask what extra work you have planned to reach 1.0?

[Benno101 82]

@Rich_R Thanks for the feedback, ill try to fix / add the most during the next 2 weeks, will be off next week though...

 

@mondkalb Well id really like to add ACE support for allowing some Squad like real time building mechanics. Also having loads of more ideas for other useful objects aswell as unfinished models. Poorly currently aint got the time to do so...Will still try to kick through a lot before September. :)

[ahmedslimkw 223]

Stellar mod Benno! I love the fortifications in which you can create real interesting bases :D (managed to create a guerilla base, cause fortifying ruined houses is boring :P)

 

Keep up the splendid work!

[Colince411 38]

Very Nice!

 

Please continue work, we will always follow fortification mods!

[MrSanchez 243]

Me gusta. I love stuff to fortify (enemy) positions with. This will be a good addition :)

 

Kind regards,

Sanchez

[wansec_6 200]

G'day Benno101,

 

I have been experimenting with your fortification components and they are really good.

 

I have one question/suggestion. Could you make concrete wall selections that don't have the angled base on them. This would allow them to be stacked on top of the angled base units to construct multi-storey structures and defences, field expedient barracks etc. Perhaps even some doorway/passage concrete structures as well?

Thanks for sending us the release :)

Good work, this has been somthing that has been missing in the arma series.

I'm so sorry, this is my first server. 

Do I have to edit the map so I can place an NPC?

Or does it already spawns by itself?

I think you're in the wrong topic.

Wait, isn't this base system?

[Victruso 179]

Just now, KoalaGM said:

No, not like something where you pull up a menu and it places stuff down.

 

These are assets that can be placed down and used in the Editor when making scenarios, or used in the map editor when making a map.

 

If someone wants to make a mod/script that's a base building system using these assets, then they can. But for all intents and purposes, they're structures that need to be placed down before the scenario is started or if the scenario has started already, they need to be called in by a script/function.

[Benno101 82]

@KoalaGM

I think you were looking for this this one: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=30624

 

@Victruso. a real time building mechanic by joko  is already in the pipeline ;)
