Custom runways for custom island

[vasf_jeffs 0]

I need some help making my custom runway textures show up as runways in WRP/game. They look great, but act like regular ground when you land or take off.

Is it a flag setting? (I've tried regular and road)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure, but it should work this way.

not sure if u mean u just want the texture to show up on the mission editor or mean u want AI to land there, but if u want AI to land and taxi, u must 'ILS' the texture. No point searching here cos there isnt an ils tutorial here. Its over at ofpec.com by marksman:- try a search there.

you can set the AI landing/taxi spots in the config file

Not sure, but it should work this way.

It would be nice if this was the case....but it isn't. Here's why:

class Roadway

files="silnice*";

class Asfalt: Roadway

files="asfalt*";

class Cesta: Roadway

files="cesta*";

So the "roadway" flag will only apply to those files, no matter what you do. The only way (or at least, only way i have found yet) to make custom runway textures smooth enough so you can takeoff/land without problems is to actually change the default values for all surfaces...which is something you can do with a mod, but it won't work if it's just an addon (since cfgSurfaces cannot be "patched" since 1.43).

Now since I'm not a scripting god or anything, I hope I am wrong, and more than happy to be proved so, but I've tried a lot of experiments with this and this is the only solution I've found so far.

i could have sworn that I had done something similar to this before though.

Send me a pbo or wrp and I'll try it...like I said....I'm VERY happy to be proved wrong!! I've replicated what you posted with the Default setting set to rough=10, and Roadway left at rough=0.0001....and the planes just bounce around (like 20 meters in the air) indicating (to me) that the rough value it is getting is from Default, not Roadway. This is using a custom runway texture.

I am working on an island that uses resistance textures and some custom runway textures. Here's the class cfgSurfaces from my config.cpp which is copied from the Nogova config.cpp- (I made the lines I've changed bold, my textures are named fwom_runpi_d.pac, fwom_runpi_o.pac etc..The runway works fine. :) )

You can make custom runways without affecting the BIS values. If you want an example just take a look at the Ia Drang Island I made for the Nam Pack. (in the sebnam_obj.pbo)

class sebnamrunway

{

files="rwsebrw*";

rough=0.001;

dust=0.03;

soundEnviron = "road";

};

start the name of the textures with "rw" then add your tag, so that it works in wrpedit.

The way I'm doing it will effect BIS values SelectThis? I didnt think it would seeing as only 1 island is loaded into ofp memory (I think)?

Ia Drang is a great island btw, well done

[Guest]

@Fat Wombat...no....the values you are setting won't affect the BIS values...in fact they won't do anything (set rough=99.000....it won't change them).

@SelectThis...yes of course you are right. I had a good long think about that ages ago (like 8 months)....maybe I'll reconsider using that method since I've learnt a great deal about what you can and can't put into a full mod's config.cpp in that time Need the extra dust you see...

[FatWombat 0]

Um...ok, I changed<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class RunwayRes: default

{

access=2

files="fwom_run*";

rough=0.001000;

dust=0.006000;

soundEnviron="gravel";

};

to

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class RunwayRes: default

{

access=2

files="fwom_run*";

rough=0.390000;

dust=0.006000;

soundEnviron="gravel";

};

and it made the runway on my island a LOT bumpier...it's definitely working. I didn't try setting roughness to 99 though, I havn't seen anything defined with a roughness over 0.19 so I doubt a figure like 99 would work...

Select,

Do you have to use this naming convention, or can you individually assign the values in the config? Also I noticed the taxi and runway segments use different naming conventions.

Thanks,

My custom textures start with fwom_ and are working fine.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> class fwomRunwayRes: default

{

access=2

files="fwom_run*";

rough=0.005000;

dust=0.006000;

soundEnviron="gravel";

};

class fwomRollwayRes: default

{

access=2

files="fwom_roll*";

rough=0.005000;

dust=0.009000;

soundEnviron="gravel";

};

SelectThis, you were right, my classnames did interfere with the BIS ones, the runway on Nogova got slighty bumpy if my island.pbo was in the addons folder. I added fwom to the start of all the classnames and everything is fine again
