Hey @Vandeanson Im happy to hear someone is putting effort into a base building mod which was a long time goal for myself I had never achieved. Feel free to use my shared content as stated in the license above, I can give you access to the GitLab project for the published content if you send me your Account Name via PM. Benno

Just a small info update, I´m alive, the mod...well not very much. I have simply lost any motivation and time for investing hundreds of hours into Gimp and Blender for ArmA, a game I haven´t touched in a year or so. As there´s some unfinished projects left on my computer, too much for leaving it in the dust, i have decided to publish all of my un-binarized content for others to learn or to finish up some of the models. Except for the license restrictions listed, publish finished models and don´t keep it for yourself / your clan. With best regards, Benno Some pictures of the unreleased / unfinished models... ____________________________________________________________ By downloading and using my work, you hereby agree to the following license agreement.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. Simply did not now if it was public yet ;)

@jonpas Im sorry but I cant tell / promise anything about it as im not in the action of this feature. :)

Thats a point, I agree April 2018. :)

No, April 2017...next year. Thanks alot ;)

/Hotfix 0.7.1 - removed open_door action (wood_wall types) I would have really loved to add some new assets, poorly simply didn´t have the time to do so. Info: No more mod support / updates until about April 2018, as im going to be absent from tomorrow on. I´ll try to answer questions as soon as possible or as soon as I get my hand on a functioning internet connection. ;) Well see when the ACE support is added, probably with outsourced files, not from me.

Thanks for the report, i´ll try to release a hotfix tomorrow. ;)

Would it be possible to create "modular" pathway LODs (only), as example a straight line, a posXX and inXX as single objects? Thinking about it I guess the AI will be having issues with finding from one to another... Also, if the first one would be working, is there any way of adding a visual LOD which is only visible in 3D Editor, maybe even Zeus?

/Update 0.7 added - revetment_wall_types, camo variants - stair_wood, size variants - ladder_metal_types - wood_wall_types, camo variants - beam_wood_4m - camo_net, size variants fixed - performance issues for revetment_wall_types - missing zeus objects - deleted unsupported UV Sets

Please note: Updated legal license above!

@KoalaGM I think you were looking for this this one: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=30624 @Victruso. a real time building mechanic by joko is already in the pipeline ;)

Updated to Version 0.6 (Hotfix) (24.08.2017) ADDED Zeus integration 8x EFM_wood_wall types "Simple object" possibility in EdenEditor Fixed EFM_revetment_wall types fixed Alpha texture + Geo / PhysX / Fire LOD Server key issues Thanks @Joko for tracking and solving the server key + zeus problems!

Summing up the feedback ill be working on the following items for the next update. Feel free to add suggestions for more objects. - Stair (Height variants) - Rev. Wall (Geometry LOD fix) - Rev. Wall (Camo variants) - Ladder - Wall Panel - Wood Coverage (Footprint variants) - Concrete Wall (Top segment) - Concrete Wall (Doorway) - Camo Coverage (Size variants) Unknown release, hopefully the next one... - Ace Integration - Sliding Gate - Metal Gate - Bar Gate Also feel free to post pictures of your custom bases. :)

@Rich_R Thanks for the feedback, ill try to fix / add the most during the next 2 weeks, will be off next week though... @mondkalb Well id really like to add ACE support for allowing some Squad like real time building mechanics. Also having loads of more ideas for other useful objects aswell as unfinished models. Poorly currently aint got the time to do so...Will still try to kick through a lot before September. :)

I have created many different assets over time, all of them have Geo, Geo PhysX and Geo Fire. The problem is that after shooting no bullet holes appear, the .rvmat particle effects (e.g. wood, concrete) are working just fine. Is it even possible (without endless effort)? I have tried multiple mods which all seem to have no bullet holes aswell... Would add some nice atmospheric realism though. Thanks Benno

No poorly doesnt work for me...Thanks anyways :)

Sorry for asking but what´s done there to achieve bullet holes? Im having materials like wood or metal applied, im also getting the particle effects ingame, just curious about the bullet holes. :) Thanks!

Yeah, i mean those black dots appearing on Vanilla objects... :) see: http://de.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=212s6qw&s=8#.WRmfA1kvwgE

No, adding LandContact LOD poorly does not work for me. (If I did it right, simply adding vertices to the corner and grid) However, using the Helipad Model and setting the path to my own materials and textures somehow works...So the point MUST be in the .obj file (like youve said already). Simply annoying as i´ve had all the decal files finished already. Do you know an active BI Modeler in these forums? :) Also, youve used the helipad files as a base for your decals on the Australia Map aswell right? @Auss Thanks again. Benno

So it ain´t possible to create your own model and export it? I´ve looked into the A3 helipad.p3d file with some magic and made the exact same on my own in Blender Edit: I´ll try it out with a land contact LOD. Thanks man!

Thanks @Auss! I´ve already had found the Arma 3 helipad files, everything works alright, except for the most important thing. The texture behaves like a normal model as you can change it´s hight. It should automatically allign to the terrain. Does anyone knows why? I have pretty much copied the A3 files... Thanks for helping! :) .rvmat config.cpp

@bludski I´m stuck whith the same problem, have you find a solution yet? :)
