Mainly because it's a PITA doing this. Took some time until there was a (more or less) reliable solution to get the ground texture paths. This could be integrated into ace at a certain point but I need to discuss this with the ACE team as this is not a really clean solution.

But hey, at least it works and it looks fancy.

Great work everybody!

Such a simple addon, yet such a profound effect on any mission that we play. Our members have now started hunting for Entrenching Tools before every mission. +1, would recommend. Everyone should give this a try, it will improve your dynamic combat situation tenfold and adds a whole new layer to your tactical behaviour.

Hi to all!

I can not use this trenches in ACE. I can not see this in ACE menu or elsewhere.

Tell me please how to use it?

 

Thanks!

You need an entrenchment tool (which is basically a shovel) in your inventory. On some maps you are not able to place trenches because the ground config is misconfigured. This also applies to Prei Khmaoch Luong for example. But on all other maps listed in the first post it is definitely possible.

Thanks a lot chris5790!

very interesting stuff there bud. i will definitely check this out!

 

when im on prei (cambodian map) i cant dig trenches at all normally. if i even try to use my e-tool the "dig trench" thing never pops up. does this mod also fix that on maps where it doesnt let you dig? thanks.

Sadly it is not possible for us to fix this without big afford. We will try to find the error and submit a pr to ACE.

 

Edit:

PR was created and will probably be included in an upcoming ACE version.

 

Edit2:

Has been merged and will be included in ACE 3.12.0

This is intended as Lythium has neither suitable clutter nor would it make sense to camouflage your trench in the desert.

The guys over here at the 29th ID are really liking this addon.  Some, maybe a little too much
