What would I put if I wanted my player and my AI squad memebers to all respawn with the retextures I made? My problem is I retextured some units to make them look like C.I.A. Special Activitys Division Operators, and all works good but when I am online playing missions i made with them once the AI or me die we dont respawn retxtured anymore! And I dont understand the code above or how to use it?

Hello everyone! I am trying to add Bunk Beds in Tents for my FOB Template, but can not seem to find them in the Editor, or in none of the Editor Updates, but I know they are in game as they are used in the Barracks Huts! How would I go about adding them into my Template? I would try the Create Vehicle/Object(?) command but I am not sure of thier classname and could not find them in the configs for the game? Any idea of how I should go about this? Dave,

OK gents...problem!!! Khost has proven to be a little out of my reach. It will take me over a year(with my O.C.D.) to do all the little towns in the Khost area, and with Skin Cancer...I dont know what next year will bring(that an I am lazy..lmao)! So I found a better place that fits my personal requirements better...Shindand Airbase, Western Afghanistan! However before I go an start on the DEMs(which is proving to be a bitch aswell) I want to make sure I can find a FREE and very high resolution Satmap before I create the map, problem is, Google and all that does not provide Sat of the newly created Airbase built there! So I need Help!!!! Can anyone find me a very high res Satmap of that area(Shindand Airbase)! I plan to make this map bigger then Takistan, tho I may release it as maybe a 10x10 map at first so ya'll have something to play with while I finish the rest! I would buy a high res sat but I am too broke....and I can not justify that money spent to my girl...who would hang me by my balls for...in her words "spending money on something so useless"...so yeah any help please???? Dave,

I have bought TKOH, and will buy ArmA3 :) I just think, and this is totally IMO..a feature(Fast Roping) that should have been in ArmA2/OA from the get go! And most of the stuff in TKOH has been asked for and in some cases, begged for... since OFP! I am not trying to sound greedy, It was more of a simple question...maybe more of a wishing? Anyhow, can not wait for this next patch, hope there is more then just the warping issue fixed/added! Dave,

Glad the warping thing is being looked at :) Can we expect anything new aswell, maby some stuff from TKOH? Fastroping would be great...

Thanks I plan to hopefully have some of the terrain formed in the next week or so...as said before I am total new to this and never really have done anything in Visitor3/Wilbur/nothing related to map making TBH! But i got tired of try to make a bunch of addons that just chill in my computer. I am still reading tuts and doing little practices on tut islands found on the BI Wiki...still not as good as I hoped I would have been after an hour of reading shit lol! But yeah.....ONLY REQUIRMENTS will be ArmA2/OA! Dave,

Thats great to hear can't wait for it! This map has been alot of insperation ;)

Damn, looks great Eddie! I love the M109...looks even more sexy in PRACS camo

Thanks McNools, Will hopfully get this thing done, I have been reading tuturals and trying out the tut maps provided in the BI Wiki!

Ok gents....with the help of Robster, him and mini are doing a fantastic map, based on Kunar region, I am trying to help them with getting my buddy to get good photos of the ground for them to get finished on there alsome map....but yeah thanks to them fellas I am slowly but surly getting the hang of this, Robster is gonna help with making the mountains off of Digital Elevation Maps so that will insure the map is perfectly acurate! Also Icebreakr gave me some helpful advice as well along with others, Plus my bud ebanks has been helping me for awhile now but he is in the Army last i talked to him, so i got very good people backing me and helping me out so thanks to you guys! Now......duh duh dun....and the map is going to be.....Khost Airfield Area(Including Camp Chapman in the middle) if all goes well I plan for it to be as big as Takistan, tho I will probly release it in a smaller size when a good bit is done(which is probably awhile away), It will have many mountains, flat areas, nice medium sized Airfield(bigger then Takistan map),now that I kind have gave up on addon making(not permentaly tho) and tho my RL is falling apart around me, hopfully Map making won't lol! If this goes well I am doing Bagram since that is where my unit was stationed, And so many other areas flowing throw my head! Warning, beside my Skin Cancer...my other physical problems, I have very bad O.C.D. which oddly enough may prove to be ideal for Map making, since anyone who knows me knows I try to do things perfect, which will take longer then most to finish but I hope to have a great Map for everyone! Once this underway and things hopfully are working out then anyone who wants to help will be welcome. And thanks to everyone who is helping and who shared thier ideas here, probly would still be stuck with my thumb up my ass if it wasn't for everyone posting there suggestions. Dave,

Ok, I am thinking of possibly doing Camp Chapman in Khost, Afghanistan! Where do I get good high res satmap to use? Also is there a way to get a hight data map of the area to make sure when i make the terrain in Visitor3 its acurate? BTW does anyone with Visitor3 skills want to help me make the terrain for Visitor3?

Looking good WLD and PRACS Modelers! Can't wait to blow shit up with the PRACS goodies myself :) Yeah....life and familly come first any day, tho it would be nice to able to retreat away into a game in which you ruled the universe, or..armaverse, instead of dealing with personal life and familly problems, tho spending good ol' time playing with the lil ones you love, is the best game known to humanity! Ever since I have been with my girl and her lil girl I have had different out looks on what the important things in life really are! P.S. hide and seek with the lil hellyan I love...is so much better then hide and seek in Arma anytime ;)

A few good people are working on Helmand Province Maps, not tryng to step on no ones toes ;) But i have PM'ed a few good people who know about Map making, hopefully I can get things rolling! If so and I somehow become the next IceBreakr of Map making...which I serously doubt, then I will make a map of every part of A-Stan! lmao

Hey bud, glad to see your still around, and PRACS too! But yeah I feel ya, my Visitor skills have not got any better from the last time you talked to me, so I need something simple to start with. Sad thing is we need more then Visitor to create decent and realistic maps, something like what VBS2 has would be nice. Well it would sure make things easier, as I am still having problems getting mountains to be shaped as I intended them too! But for some reasons even though Bagram would be a bit too demanding for some one with low skills in Map making as myself, I just can not stop thinking about going for it...atleast for the hell of it!

lol yeah Kunar be a bitch to live in, specially now that we pulled out most of that area and taliban took it back over, new training camps and what not are there now! But yeah, I am still obsessed with Bagram, since my firends/Unit memebers was there(and was my future destination had i not been discharged lol), plus its got so much history there since the start of the war, and the area is mostly farm land so i think it can be done, only problem is im not no good with visitor(well not like IceBreakr and other Map gods) but first is first, wheres the best place to get very, very high res Sats for this kind of stuff? Also how do i go about making sure these mountains are as exact specs as it is in RL??? How does BIS make there maps using real sats so perfect? is there a trick i do not know yet?

Yeah my cousin showed me a fly though of Khost before, would be bad ass, will take a second look into Khost again! thanks for the suggestions so quickly!

Hmmm, I looked into Pakita, not the others tho, do you know if they have any Air Bases there(that fit my Guide Lines? My Main focus is to have a map with an Air Base centered in the middle! I did want to do Bagram as thats where my unit was stationed, but I also like Tarin-Kowt, as my cousin was stationed there with the 82nd!

Can someone make a quick vid of the South Asia Map for me, with a glance at the Air Base maby? In a sick way, i need something to torcher me through the day till i get off work...and watching a vid off my phone is a sick, yet satisfied way to occupy me till get off later tonight! ;) BTW, do we get an updated version of the BAF Shapur Map?

Nice, and thanks! but can you upload a demo mission?

Yeah, I for one would love to have hugh ass battles in the sea, with hugh ass floating chunks of metal....that launches jets, and shoot missiles :cool: BTW, mankyle would it be possible to ask for permission to continue on that little project you had going on? I know of a few people who have proper permissions from BIS them selfs to work on a specific project involving official BIS models! Dave,

I love using large formations, specially ones based on real Military Doctrine, I would appreciate it if you uploaded it! Your template would be useful for me to make an USAF one, for which its the Doctrine I am use to lol!

thanks guys, and yeah the arma2 map is based on actual terrain as all BIS maps, but since its a Fictional Country(Chernuras) they could edit out somethings and make ground look better! Also i didnt mean object detail...as far as that and any other things to do with the SA map..its perfect, i mean the actual ground textures, as everyone has complained about the poor quality of the texture(Satmap) of the seattle map, and lack of real roads....plus compared to the ground textures on the arma2/oa maps the grass areas look bad! so far from the pics ArmAriffic posted, all looks perfect and very much like what afghanistan looks like, my only objection is, use actual roads like Arma2/oa with side walks and all, and a Hugh Realistic Air Base(that looks simular to Bagram/Kandahar) not the small platoon size, OFP-Looking Air Fields in Arma2/OA! Again sorry to everyone and BIS if i seem like an asshole(tho i can be) i dont mean too, im just so....i dont know...feeling like a kid on christmas...that its hard to control myself! i dont really play games(PC or console) just BIS games, which to me and others aint a game, but more of a hobby! So tbh, i get ahead of myself and get too excited lol, and since i still since arma1 cant seem to make my own realistic afghan maps im stuck with the stock BIS maps, no offence to the Community made maps, its just BIS has the resorces to do what half of us community members wish we had, i wish we had tools to make maps off of real afghan terrain like VBS2 can do!!! <- HINT HINT BIS Dave,

Does anyone know for a fact if the Texture Detail for the South Asia Map is better then that of the Seattle map? Lets hope so...im very disapointed with that map, should have stuck with a Fictional map like in Arma2 so that way they can edit it to make it nice and pretty lol! Can a DEV tell me if the SA Maps detail is the same as Takistans Detail?

Can we get more Info on the "South Asia" Terrain? How will the hugh lake play a role in that map, or is it just a sexy eye candy??? And for what reason was that section of Cali Desert(including the Lake) Chose?? why not use actual Afghan Sats like most of the comunity does, specially since BIS has tools to make it better then any of use comunity menbers can do with the tools we have ATM? Also the Story that will be attached to the SA map, your an U.S. Army Pilot(Flying what looks to be Canadian Army Helos :confused:, cuz the U.S. Army dont use Bell412, actually no U.S. Military uses them)....so whats up with that? And how many FOB's will be on that map, How many Air Bases will be on that map??? And most important...will the terrain detail be better then the "Eye Sore" thats the Seattle Map uses.....i really hope so!!!!

Any way Dev's can get pics of any Air Bases on the SA map? If there are some I hope there real Air Bases and not just a run way and few buildings..I'm hoping for a Bagram size Air Base that can hold and handle multiple squadrons or jets and attack/transport aircraft, and atleast a Division of Soldiers! Well..there goes for hoping anyways..takistan Airports are way too small!!!
