Cant get island & clutter to work

[MrSplendid 4]

Ive allready lost my mind getting my island with some clutter to work.

In Bulldozer, everything works fine. I can see the island ingame in the menue, when it it loads, then the game just crashes.

Tried different configs, now this is my latest. Packing the island with mikeros tools, strange warning since the last tries:

"Warning, a quadtree is uncompressed";

gdt_desert is used by Altis, that's why clutter won't work. You need to give it a unique name, normally YourTag_TerrainName_desert for both the rvmat and paa's and the class name should follow the same rule

 

for config, try the pmc one https://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=arma3:terrain:ultimate-terrain-tutorial#configcpp

 

Looking at  your picture, you have your TB project saved in your map folder, it should be in your Source folder! The way you have it, it's getting packed into your pbo and will cause issues. You also have roads commented out, so it's loading the roads from Stratis, if your map is smaller than Stratis that will make it crash.

 

I suggest you restart and follow a proper guide like the above PMC one (always up to date with terrain making changes) or Altis guide. Also stay well clear of youtube guides, people like JAF just talk nonsense

Thanks! I found that out on the hard way. Island is working now. Only thing is, when i get on the right corner of the map ingame, it lags, freezes and crashes. Maybe this has to do something with the roads?

Il try config the roads proberbly and see if it will help. Yes, i was using PMC, but had problems with the lines that were not allready in the config, so i had to puzzle the config together.

Fixed the crash with the new roads, they were the problem!

Now im getting an lzo compression error, whenever i place a building on the map and try to pack the island.

in the binlog from mikeros tools, there are just the classnames. and pboproject cant pack.
