Hmmm OK worked it out if i remove the Desert form Layers it worked , as my island is 1/2 desert i thought i would need that in my layers , am i wrong ? This crashed on import class Layers { class sm_grass { texture = "god_ahmshere\data\god_grass_green_co.paa"; material= "god_ahmshere\data\god_ahmshere_grass.rvmat"; }; class sand { texture = "god_ahmshere\data\god_desert_co.paa"; material = "god_ahmshere\datagod_ahmshere_sand.rvmat"; }; }; class Legend { picture="god_ahmshere\source\surfacemaplegend.png"; class Colors { sm_grass[]={{255,255,255}}; }; }; worked:- class Layers { class sm_grass { texture = "god_ahmshere\data\god_grass_green_co.paa"; material= "god_ahmshere\data\god_ahmshere_grass.rvmat"; }; }; class Legend { picture="god_ahmshere\source\surfacemaplegend.png"; class Colors { sm_grass[]={{255,255,255}}; }; };

I have seen a lot of Guides to A2 Island tutorials, but can someone point me in the right direction for A3 I.e how to set up the tools so i can use them in A3 Can I use http://www.armaholic.net/colombia/editing/manuals/Bush_GeotypicalTerrains-Beginners_Guide_1stEdition.pdf Will that work for A3 ?

Oooww ill try that now then - thanks Is there any easy way to get roads into A3 ?

IGNORE solved was edge of map -DOH

Just wanted to say a big thanks to M1lkm8n that ARMA.exe works great now have it working with textures , well chuffed :)

I uninstalled A2 and do not really want to reinstall it all again

Yes please as i really want to at least make a start and learn ! I even downloaded a template and tried that and got the same results so it could be what you said !

still no Joy :( I have Updated all the .png to .paa in layers, Copied A3 into my ARMA Root Copied my Project into my ARMA root Still get the error message and all black ?

Ahh nope not converted them where do I get "pal2pace.exe" from , as cannot track it down Also I did not move anything to my A3 root folder so will do that next as well Ill update later :)

Hmmm OK - moved that into my PGF folder but still no luck when i launch Bulldozer I get the dos box then after a few seconds on stuff processing i get that error still, and a black screen with the text at the top OK What do i need in my PGF folder ? I only have the a3 folder from "WRP_PROJECTS_A3" do i need to copy anything else into that folder ?

it was a clean install and only just updated all files :( only thing i was not sure about was the folder "WRP_PROJECTS_A3" does that stay where it is or do i need a copy in my island folder ?

OK double checked and all paths filenames are correct i am using PGF\pgf_demo for now I am using the a3 ground texture found them in p:\a3 gdt_grass_green_co.paa & gdt_grass_green_nopx.paa I get 1 error when launching Bulldozer :- No Entry "config.bin/cfgingameUI/Cursor.known_target" Any idea what that error is ? Could this be the issue ? Create preview satmap and satmask "Then fill this image with dark green as a placeholder for now. RGB: 77-88-60 should be OK. Save it as "TUT_NewMap_SatMap_LCO" to P:\TUT_NewIsland\source. Now fill the image with black color and save it as "TUT_NewMap_LayerMask_LCO" to P:\TUT_NewIsland\source. Both files should be saved in their native format (i.e. .psd if you use Photoshop and as .png for Visitor 3 to work with it). " If it is Black could that the the issue ? as everything in the layers folder are black .png

OK, Have a little issue have followed the guide all seems to work but when I launch Bulldozer it is Just Black screen with some text near the top , but i cannot see any thing else ? and suggestions where i could have gone wrong - re tried 3 times now :( worked my way down the tutorial to "Importing the preview satmap" http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Mondkalb%27s_Terrain_Tutorial

It is a JIP issue I had the same issue a long time ago , i cannot remember where that mission is now but i am sure this will solve it INIT.sqf if ((side player) == WEST) then { player setpos (getPos siteObjects ); };

ahhh ta WOW they do not make it easy !

I am going through a guide Mondkalb's Terrain Tutorial and stuck on "You can get grass_co grass_nopx (needed for the parallax ground texture effect) files by unpacking utes.pbo or takistan_data.pbo" I do not have Arma2 anymore so where would i look for them in a3 ? Thanks

it is defined at the start of the script as such KRON_NPCs = [];

OK anyone know a way to Re-sync the Support Module back after a player disconnects ? , All works on start up but if i disconnect from the Server then reconnect i get no Support / CAS Why o why have they not made this Re sync in MP ?

Nope still cannot get it to Re-sync has anyone been able to get this working on a DEDI with a re-sync ?

We only run our Dedi server in Vet mode and it always works fine for us You are using "AICurrentSkill" try the code that he posted as that 100% works Just change your code to this and look at the logs { _x setSkill ["aimingAccuracy", 0.3]; _x setSkill ["aimingShake", 0.8]; _x setSkill ["aimingSpeed", 0.6]; _x setSkill ["endurance", 0.6]; _x setSkill ["spotDistance", 0.2]; _x setSkill ["spotTime", 0.25]; _x setSkill ["courage", 0.5]; _x setSkill ["reloadSpeed", 0.1]; _x setSkill ["commanding", 0.8]; _x setSkill ["general", 0.4]; //////DEBUG/////////////////////// _aA = _x skill "aimingAccuracy"; _aS = _x skill "aimingShake"; _aSp = _x skill "aimingSpeed"; _e = _x skill "Endurance"; _sD = _x skill "spotDistance"; _sT = _x skill "spotTime"; _c = _x skill "courage"; _rS =_x skill "reloadSpeed"; diag_log format [ "unit: %1\naimingAccuracy: %2\naimingShake: %3 \naimingSpeed: %4\nEndurance: %5\nspotDistance: %6 \nspotTime: %7\ncourage: %8\nreloadSpeed: %9" ,_x,_aA,_aS,_aSp,_e,_sD,_sT,_c,_rS]; } foreach units _grp1; Also just make a Functions that way you can just change the skill in 1 place INIT.sqf [] execvm "functions.sqf"; Functions.sqf God_fnc_Skill ={ _groupnamed = _this select 0; _leaderguy = leader _groupnamed; _leaderguy setskill 0.50; { _x setskill ["aimingAccuracy",0.30]; _x setskill ["spotDistance",0.50]; _x setskill ["spotTime",0.55]; _x setskill ["courage",0.55]; _x setskill ["commanding",0.50]; _x setskill ["aimingShake",0.50]; _x setskill ["aimingSpeed",0.55]; } foreach units _groupnamed ; }; then just call it on the group i.e _grp1 = [markerPos RandomDirection, EAST, (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "OPF_F" >> "Infantry" >> "OIA_InfTeam")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; [_grp1] call God_fnc_Skill;

Mate again another great script to add to your pack ! Any change you can add an option to stop fly over spawn ?? that way pilots do not set them off all the time :)

Need some advice on our Dedi server If we run arma3.exe we can host a lot of servers and the ping is great and runs fine, However if we try and run arma3server.exe we get a ping of 2500 on each server on the list Any idea why that would be ?
