Sir, you have my beans! :) Many thanks for your support! I will see what I can reach at the hoster and maybe set up a local test server for a better understanding!

Again thanks for your reply; we are using a server-hoster and will request if they could handle such a rotation. In the case of DayZ, what would it mean exactly to have such a mission rotation? Our server currently restarts at 7 am and 6 pm - could a rotation then take place e.g.? Is it possible to "fake" a rotation like only having one map in the rotation pool and let it run eternally (until restart)?

Thanks for your quick reply; we are already running the server on "expert" / mercenary but it does not seem to work - maybe something is missing or incorrectly stated? Configs look like this: server config: [font=Courier New]{ [b] "difficulty":"mercenary",[/b] "hostname":"PG-Server.de", "hostname_own_database":"", "passwordAdmin":"***", "passwordRcon":"***", "password":"", "enableBattlEye":true, "enableBec":true, "enableAntiHax":true, "enablerMod":false, "enemytag":false, "friendlytag":false, "motd":[ ... ], "motdInterval":1, "disableVoN":false, "BEPingLimit":350, "vehicleSpawnLimit":40 }[/font] Arma2OAProfile: class Difficulties { class Recruit { class Flags { Armor=0; FriendlyTag=0; EnemyTag=0; HUD=0; HUDPerm=0; HUDWp=0; HUDWpPerm=0; WeaponCursor=0; AutoAim=0; AutoGuideAT=0; 3rdPersonView=0; ClockIndicator=0; Map=0; Tracers=0; AutoSpot=0; UltraAI=0; DeathMessages=0; NetStats=0; PeripheralVisionAid=0; VonID=0; visionAid=0; }; skillFriendly=0.34999999; skillEnemy=0.34999999; precisionFriendly=0.2; precisionEnemy=0.2; }; class Regular { class Flags { Armor=0; FriendlyTag=0; EnemyTag=0; HUD=0; HUDPerm=0; HUDWp=0; HUDWpPerm=0; WeaponCursor=0; AutoAim=0; AutoGuideAT=0; 3rdPersonView=0; ClockIndicator=0; Map=0; Tracers=0; AutoSpot=0; UltraAI=0; DeathMessages=0; NetStats=0; PeripheralVisionAid=0; VonID=0; visionAid=0; }; skillFriendly=0.44999999; skillEnemy=0.44999999; precisionFriendly=0.34999999; precisionEnemy=0.34999999; }; class Veteran { class Flags { Armor=0; FriendlyTag=0; EnemyTag=0; HUD=0; HUDPerm=0; HUDWp=0; HUDWpPerm=0; WeaponCursor=0; AutoAim=0; AutoGuideAT=0; 3rdPersonView=0; ClockIndicator=0; Map=0; Tracers=0; AutoSpot=0; UltraAI=0; DeathMessages=0; NetStats=0; VonID=0; }; skillFriendly=1; skillEnemy=0.75; precisionFriendly=1; precisionEnemy=0.75; }; class Expert { class Flags { Armor=0; FriendlyTag=0; EnemyTag=0; HUD=0; HUDPerm=0; HUDWp=0; HUDWpPerm=0; WeaponCursor=0; AutoAim=0; AutoGuideAT=0; 3rdPersonView=0; ClockIndicator=0; Map=0; Tracers=0; AutoSpot=0; UltraAI=0; DeathMessages=0; NetStats=0; VonID=0; }; skillFriendly=1; skillEnemy=0.75; precisionFriendly=1; precisionEnemy=0.75; }; class Mercenary { class Flags { Armor=0; FriendlyTag=0; EnemyTag=0; HUD=0; HUDPerm=0; HUDWp=0; HUDWpPerm=0; WeaponCursor=0; AutoAim=0; AutoGuideAT=0; 3rdPersonView=0; ClockIndicator=0; Map=0; Tracers=0; AutoSpot=0; UltraAI=0; DeathMessages=0; NetStats=0; VonID=0; [b] PeripheralVisionAid=0; visionAid=0;[/b] }; skillFriendly=1; skillEnemy=0.75; precisionFriendly=1; precisionEnemy=0.75; }; }; shadingQuality=7; shadowQuality=3; gamma=1.5; brightness=1.4; singleVoice=0; maxSamplesPlayed=32; volumeCD=6.5; volumeFX=6.5; volumeSpeech=6.5; volumeVoN=6.5; vonRecThreshold=0.029999999; sceneComplexity=300000; viewDistance=2500; terrainGrid=25;

Is there another way than using t_gui_peripheral to turn off the peripheral dots? We are hoting a DayZ Server but cannot get rid of them either; I have seen servers where the dots are disbled but we cannot figure out how to deactive them by config.

Ok, thanks! I already tried Inkscape with a high-res img of the map but Inkscape was unfortunately unable to open images of this size (28000 x 28000px!) but I will try to reduce resolution and see when the app gets to open the map bitmap. The EMF export is unfortunately bitmap data, too, so it is not of any use. The Export from VISITOR does also only export single EMF bitmap files so unfortunately also no success here.

by the way, I just searched for the TOPOGRAPHY export command and found information that it generates a map in EMF format, so thats why I listed it here

Ah, ok, sorry for expressing myself inappropriately; with vector graphics I ment files like *.ai (Adobe Illustrator), *.eps, *.svg to name some common ones. EMF (similar to SVG) sounds good, this is something I am looking for; we will surely give it a go and I will report back. Other than that are there more ways to export such a file? Are there any example EMFs available? I could then check if this is what we are looking for. Also, thanks for your reply - much appreciated!

Hi, I am currently in touch with the author of the Namalsk map; we want to create an overview app for this map. Therefore I would require vectorized data of the map overview. Is there any way to export the map overview to a vector graphic? I read that there is a tool "Visitor 4" which may come in handy - could anyone comment on the process of converting a map to vector? Is it possible at all? Cheers, Jan

Does this addresses the problem mentioned here? http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10119&page=2 or here ?

Unfortunately, I never used ACE by now; if anyone could test it this would be pretty fine (on armaholic I couldnt find a comment implying its ace compatible)

Though Im not to a 100% sure, I think this should be compatible with ACE. ---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ---------- Much appreciated! :D Please feel free to add this map to your air server - I would be really pleased with this especially since local hosting of this map is no bed of roses ;) I could imagine quite well to create a 2nd version of this map in PvP style; I will drop a line if I do

War - War never changes... Abstract: You will find yourself placed on a barnyard which has been rebuild by the US Army to a secret outpost. Your aim is it to defend this base at any price. You will have several weapons for defending the base, these are HUMVEE HMVs, static Machine Guns of different calibers, Weapon Crates with Special Weaponry and -of course!- a bunch of AH-6 LittleBirds.

Thus, rockets are in a very short supply in the whole country so you will mostly have to count on your cannon - any so will the Guerrillas fortunately do, too! Informants report that the Guerrillas are now planing a counter attack with a massive flying army. Without exception the Guerrillas will search and destroy every US troop they encounter on their campaign of vengeance. Defend our outpost at any price! Destroy AH-6 LittleBirds Informants report from a squadron of AH-6 LittleBird choppers on their way to attack our outpost. Try to eliminate as many as possible! Destroy MI8 MTV-3 Informants do also report that MI8 MTV-3 (Codename 'Hip') helicopters are in the near and searching for our troops and outposts. Watch out for these heavy killer machines especially! Destroy incoming Jeeps Informants also let us know that Guerrillas on Jeeps will search the surrounding areas next to our outpost. Watch out for them! Weather Forecast: It is late afternoon and it looks like it is becomming another rainy day in autumn. Night is approaching. Enemies will use Night-Visions and so will you when the sun has set!
