    Hi guys,

    the Ft. Benning is entering it's final stage. All firing ranges are completed. The only major thing left, is a small Mout training area in the south.

    I tried to make my own buildings ( i suck woth O2) and tried to retexure the sample BIS buidlings (sucked too). So my simple questions is: does anyone know if there are some kind of MOUT buildings out there (made by some other mod)?

    I have something in mind that is a) enterable and b)looking like MOUT, but I will take anything that is suitablefor a decent MOUT area.

    Any hints and help welcome.

    Jens

    Hi guys,

    I#m trying to follow Mondkalbs' steps through this (nicley done tutorial). I'm currently stuck with the UV-map chapter.

    According to MK tutorial (Step 4), I should "hit the „Simple Unwrap“-Button (simpleunwrap.jpg) and it'll look like this:"

    Unwrapped.jpg

    But instead I get something like this:

    o2_1.jpg

    I'm pretty sure I mixed something up while selecting the correct faces in the preceding step.

    Switch back to O2, again... select using the „Vertice-Selection tool“ in your „Top“-view the upper side of the whole Doorframe (Excluding the door!). Now switch to the „Touch Faces modus“ (touchfaces.jpg). Select the other side of your wallsegment (You've already selected the back of it, now the front has to be selected) while holding the "Ctrl"-key in the "3D"-View. If everything went well, it shoud look in the "Top"-view like this:
    @Mondkalb: Can you describe it a little bit more in detail which faces/vertices must be selected to get the same results as in you tutorial pictures. A little bit of background information what we are exactly doing here would also be very much appriciated.

    Thanks a lot in advance,

    Jens

    Hi folks,

    I have two types of road networks on my map. One with asf1*.p3d and the other one with asf3*.p3d.

    Every now and then I have this really annoying problem:

    I place a single terminator on the map and finish the four step wizard till I can see the terminator on the map. Under normal circumstances I can click on the terminator again to add new pieces or import a road network. But there's my problem. No matter what I try to do, I can't get the terminator selected again. Every time I click on this piece the wizard that starts new roadnetworks comes up instead of the "addnewpieceswizard".

    Anyone seen this?

    Well, this time it wasn't the configs but my personal stupidity.

    Somehow the destination path in binPBO pointed to g:\arma2\addons and not to g:\arma2\@test\addons. That way I alway packed my new map in the regular arma2 addons directory while an old version of the map (with only one clutter) sit still in the @test-folder.

    And when I noticed that the island won't binarize correctly if I use OA-clutter (just like IceBreakr did).

    Oh well sometimes map-making for ArmA can be a painful experience...

    Hi guys,

    once more, a problem with my clutter *sigh*.

    Currently I only got one clutter working: "j198_ntc_lgreenClutter"

    The lgreenClutter covers the whole map and it makes no difference what I define in the CfgSurfaceCharacters class, every time, the map is completly covered with the lgreenClutter.

    I already double and tripple checked the RGB values of the mask_lco.png with the values in the layers.cfg. Everything is fine.

    I'm so desperate ... :confused:

    Any help appreciated.

    Jens

    P.S. I updated my first post with the actual cfg.files.

    Updated cfg-files

    Hi folks,

    I'm updating one of my long time projects with textures from OA. Recently all the island's clutter worked without any problems. After I reworked my config files I don't get any clutter ingame. Maybe someone can take a look at my files. The simplification I only configured a single clutter "SAND" with two p3d-files on it "deadGrassBunch, GrassAutumnBrown".

    BTW, the new OA textures show up fine ingame.

    Crap, I got the newest patch (1.52), the newest version of CBA, ACE, ACEX, ACE_SM, Combined Ops and I can't play it, because when I launch the game .exe, it loads up and then shows "Include file"x\cba\addons\main\script_macros_common.hpp not found" What the hell?

    I used the Combined Ops pack from the SIX updater. No other mods.

    I got the same message when I forgot to include the CBA folder in my shortcut.

    Please comment out these lines and try it again

    clutterDist=200;
noDetailDist=40;
fullDetailDist=15;

    If I set a clutterDist > 60 all my maps crash while loading ingame.

    thanks for that, but is there one with middle textures in the cofigs ?:)

    every time i load my game with my map, i get this error saying .........ca\plants\clutter_grass_grass_general.p3d; needed ,any idea, ive looked in plants 2 and there is no sign of this p3d.

    OK, sorry.

    I took my actual config.cpp and renamed my project folder and map name inside the file accordingly. You might give them a try. For me, they work fine. I excluded the configuration of the clutter into two extra files.

    Great :)

    I wonder how performance goes with 1.6 millions trees on a single map.

    In case you have placed too much trees you can reduce them by acting on maximum objects per pixel and placement probability on single colors.

    did you have an ingame screenshot of your results? will be very interesting!

    Well, performance is not a problem. I run ArmA2 on a QuadCore, GeForce 8800GT , Win7 and 4GB RAM. Viewdistance is 3700m. No stutter or anything.

    Ok, here I used the forest generator on a larger map (10km x 10km). I used a sat image from Google earth (reduced the number of colors down to 4) as mask-image for the generator. The area I choose has a lot of trees, so in the end Worldtool generated 1.6 mio single trees (wow).

    I had some problems importing the exp file in a single process. Importing files with more than 200.000 objects in a single row always crashed V3.

    So I split the file up into single files with about 200.000 trees each. That worked pretty good.

    Well, it took me about two hours for the whole process. The result is simply stunning.

    It would've taken me weeks to place this amount of objects by hand (basically impossible).

    Thanks for this great tool!!
