I don't know still if the grass is possible to change though , if anyone knows ! This WIP Script - Mod will have also presets , in order to be able to select like , custom , winter , jungle , cold environment etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnKalo 657 Posted February 9, 2019 Although to be honest I cannot see how editors will use the above script the WIP Script you mentioned will be really nice if a winter add-on free vanilla map was made available Hmm there must be an editing idea that I have missed.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can use this script in order to use also exta buildings , like for example Fallujha map with RSO buildings etc. Generally it will be a whole different map , each time you run this script. The WIP Vegetation Replacement Scipt- Mod , is about replacing trees and bushes , i haven't found if it's possible to do the same with the grass , it will replace automatically the vegetation of any map with the desired , like from CUP and any other mod , map etc that includes vegetation. So it's not a free addon script. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwissArmy1984 8 Posted February 15, 2019 George, this is great stuff. I'm going to try it out on the South Asia map (from Take on Helicopters) where there are hundreds of unenterable or pre-Arma rendition buildings that have enterable versions that could replace them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's really a great idea and i hope it will go well ! I will be waiting for some pics and Footage if it's possible ! Post also here if you want please : Maybe you should check if @opteryx building's & RSO are fitting there ! Check and play a little bit with the script , because i have set this to detect and replace , every building with 4 Building positions in cluded in the model . So you might need to adjust this as well ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TPM_Aus 137 Posted March 26, 2019 Hey GF, I have a few questions I am hoping you can answer. I am creating a survival mulitplayer ravage mission for my arma group on PKL and was looking at using some of your scripts. - What is the performance impact after the Change Building Script has been run? Example, mission loads and script runs which replaces all PKL buildings with Tanoa buildings. Performance is impacted at the start while replacement occurs and then is performance back to normal? - I am looking at using either the Ravage loot/furniture modules or your auto loot script. Will your auto loot script or ravage modules place loot after the building replacement script has been run? - The mission will be run over a few weeks and I wanted to use the inbuilt ravage mp persistence plus another script to save the players buildings/boxes etc. Will the building replacement script run at the start of the mission everytime I boot it up or will it already be saved from when I previously ran it? I do have some more questions, but I can not remember what they are atm and I am at work. Peace. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207 Posted March 26, 2019 5 minutes ago, TPM_Aus said: Performance The performance is certainly be way different according to the pc specs and even different from local j]host to dedicated. There will be differences about the selected map and the buildings maybe. The best option should be testing ! You can also reverse the code , from the excluded building list and change only the buildings that you want. You can also change only a certain area. The loot script will work also but the best should be to wait the one script to finish and then start the next one. 13 minutes ago, TPM_Aus said: - The mission will be run over a few weeks and I wanted to use the inbuilt ravage mp persistence plus another script to save the players buildings/boxes etc. Will the building replacement script run at the start of the mission everytime I boot it up or will it already be saved from when I previously ran it? no idea , probably yes. I don't play that much or at all to be honest so you should test as well ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TPM_Aus 137 Posted March 28, 2019 First up, this is amazing. There are only 1155 buildings, so replacing them with the script doesn't seem to cause any performance issues on my PC. However, I would like to blacklist some areas, is this easily possible by adding an area marker on the map in the editor and then adding a few lines to your script? Edit: I have also tried understanding the: GF_Building_Replacement_centerPosition = getArray(configFile >> "CfgWorlds" >> worldName >> "centerPosition"); GF_Building_Replacement_array = nearestTerrainObjects [GF_Building_Replacement_centerPosition, ["house"], worldsize]; But I don't get it sorry. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207 Posted March 28, 2019 16 minutes ago, TPM_Aus said: to blacklist some areas, I was just adding a script to check distances in my auto Loot script and this script will be included in the future to a lot of my scripts , to set everything more simple. So in order to add this script, let me check it a little bit and i will add the code below.
