Congrats on release guys. I'm happy you toughed it out through the hard work and got to a release!

I can not wait to get GM's dlc. But the way BI is handling it is pretty disappointing to be honest, and I'm in agreement with most people here. I just don't see my self being able to play the content with the community I play arma with. We literally can not force people to pay for a dlc just to play on our server. I don't understand why BI can't just do a free opt in download so the people who don't own the content can join servers and be harassed by the classic watermarks if they are using the DLC content they don't own.

I had 17 people contribute to object placement on my Rosche terrain using xcam(I would recommend not using xcam anymore it is not supported and might die any A3 update). What worked out best for us was listing all the needed tasks on trello ( like this https://trello.com/b/AyXF9wMG/rosche ) and then have people claim them and work on them, then submit their final save to the person who is actually working on the terrain builder file. How you sub divide the tasks is up to you but again what worked for my terrain was doing all the towns first and then start tasking out the fields and roads and small forests between the towns. I had already generated the large forest areas before handing a build to other people to place objects on. A far as I know there is no tool that will do what you want in terms of a master file everyone can edit. They have to edit their own local object placement and then upload that and submit it to the person who is managing the terrain builder project file.

@charlie1210 I make TVTs in my community. The 60mm is a perfect indirect fire support that is not too overwhelming like a 81mm or 155mm would be. But as I recently discovered, the HE airburst round is far more lethal than the point detonate round. Leading to players dieing off faster than anticipated when the missions were first concepted(like when defenders have trenches, they get murdered quick as hell by airburst rather than PD). The issue is that players can convert the normal HE to Airburst HE at will, I was asking for an additional round that can not be converted.

Are you guys at all interested in adding a non airburst variant of HE to the 60mm?

So its recently come to my attention that you can convert normal HE ammo in the 60mm commando mortar into Airburst HE. Do you guys know of a way to prevent the normal HE from being converted to air burst, or could you perhaps add a round that can not be converted?

edited the first post to add link to the source files for rosche.

@madpat3 & @Dedmen In regards to cutting down that fence, I have no idea what the classname for it is. All I reference is the p3d when building the terrain. But that specific fence is from CUP in the arma 2 ported assets. And as far as I know there is no CfgVehicles file for terrains to incorporate, I do believe that is on the CUP side where the asset came from. @EO I am definitely going to look into that. I'm just not sure when I'm going to get to it. But if you want to in the meantime, go ahead and make an ambient birds version for rosche.

Your welcome man! V1.11 hotfix of sorts - - Fixed floating bridge pillars, I hate them, they do this randomly

Pushed V1.1 on steam - Fixed misplaced objects - Fixed fast flying clouds - Edited wheat so it should no longer flip vehicles and will not stop you when you run through it.

Yeah I'm going to have a look at that this weekend. If I cant definitively fix it I'll offer another version of hag_objects with wheat and corn not being able to be run over.

@tpw Yeah, we removed it initially but we accidentally deleted all other sounds, I just did a quick hotfix to put them back in last night. When I have more time ill remove the ocean sounds correctly.

Yeah I'm going to go ahead and push a hotfix tonight for that. Whooops. And we plan on fixing the grammatical error on the town signs as well as changing them all over to the tall version of the town sign.

I can 100% confirm that all accessories on any weapon system that is used in the US army has some form of tie down be it steel wire or 550 cord like in RHS. I have personally spent 2 days on lock down looking for a PEQ15 that fell off a M4. And thats no record I've heard of people who got locked down for a month.

I have the same issue as Aphex, the brush tool seems to have some sort of error over time where it will slow down your game leading to horrendous frames and xcam's ability to process things is slowed to a near halt leading to the inability to place objects in a timely manor or increasing the save times by 4-20 times normal. That being said its an enormously useful tool and I will gladly suffer through the error just to use it for mass placement.

With the recent laws of war update you can no longer move the camera position or move objects around in xcam. You can still navigate the xcam menu.

Is there any way to export object from terrain builder and import them into Xcam? Or someone with a handy script or program to do so?

Maybe I misunderstood. He talks about it being WP, not being standard smoke. WP burns peoples lungs.

Will there be an option for non lethal smoke, such as non WP?

I honestly didn't think it was a bug. I thought it was just an asshole White Phosphorus round that killed quick for some game mechanic reason. Do you guys have a bug tracker anywhere? or is it just through the BI forums. I cant seem to find any through any of your links.

Just tested it with only CBA and 3CB mods, it still kills within 3 seconds of entering the smoke cloud. Its been that way since the commando mortar was released as far as I'm aware btw.

Is the 60mm Smoke round for the commando mortar supposed to act like VX nerve gas and murder people in the cloud in 3 seconds? If so, is it possible to also have a smoke round that acts like smoke so I can have it in player versus player missions to be used as smoke and not as a more effective round than the HE round. The current trend at my community is to dump the HE rounds, take more smoke, and murder the enemies with the smoke rounds.

Congrats on the release guys! Merry Christmas

Funny thing is, using real PVS14s is like looking through a toilet paper tube.
