Placing houses and other buildings on maps

Recommended Posts

Ok, slap me if this is covered in the FAQ or been asked before.

When you open the mission editor, and select add unit, or what not; the option for adding most objects is to select empty then objects. But the object list is very limited, like refuel barrels and cloth tables. I get the idea that maps come with a pre made layout as far as houses, and larger structures. But I've played multiplayer missions where maps have buildings that aren't native to the map. So my question is, how do I do this? Do I need to download a special plug-in or something?

Help please

Need to get the Editor Plug-Ins from OFP

Just be aware that overdosing missions with objects will lead to lag.

Anyone remember the Devil's Island mission, that came out soon after OFP 1.00 came out?

I think I got 2 FPS. It would've looked better had I printed out each screen and flipped the pages in my hands. tounge.gif

Could you tell me the exact name of the file I need to get? Their site is hard to navigate, don't know what I am looking for. A link to the download page might be nice actually

Kegetys' Editor Addon V1.11.

Why not get it directly from Kegetys? It's fresher. biggrin.gif

Edit: note the Editor Addon if for OFP 1.75 and above. If you are a poor deprived human being with only OFP 1.46 or below, you'll need Gunsliger's Editor Update instead.

If you dont want to use the editor addon, just use createvehicle with the names of the buildings.

The names of all the buildings you can use (and in fact all objects) are available at ofpec.com.

You can use a simple script to place them.

Hi all this is what im trying to do at the moment but it seems when i do this it wont play on our linux dedicated server. I know what the problem is (the extra objects im putting on the map ie trees, castle ruins, ect) but i cant see anyway of getting it work on the server. The server has the same addons as me so it aint that. If i was to take all the addons that i have into the map out and leave the objects you can use without using no editor upgrades it has no problems playing on our server. What the hell am i doin wrong? crazy.gif

Or we could just tell him that it adds all the OFP extra stuff and lets you place it in a map? Get it at ofp.info most likely? tounge.gifbiggrin.gif

Thx m8y as i was looking at this post i decided to look for that addon update which led onto a site that gave me the pics of objects ive been playing around with. Im re-making my map with the editor now and will hopefully upload it onto our [uKA] server with no hassle this time wink.gif

If you will be adding buildings only there is no reason to use an addon. If whether people have Keg's editor upgrade or not is a concern and you are adding only buildings then you can do so using just createvehicle.

Keg's is nice if you want to add roads, trees, bushes, etc. ie anything that's not a building.
