    I have built a terrain, packed by AddonBuilder, which Arma 3 loads without error, but do not display in the map list. I wonder if I made some mistake with the config. I'd appreciate for your help! $PBOPREFIX$ Config.cpp BIS_AddonInfo.hpp cfgClutter.hpp cfgSurfaces.hpp sino_ChengtaiRailway.hpp File List:

    @RoFThank you. What is the recommended cell size, and how should I obtain such rasters? Many of the geographers I've consulted argue that it's meaningless to re-sample a lo-res raster to a hi-res one. It was jakerod's "The Atlas: Guide to ArmA 3 Terrain Making". Well, a bit outdated now. I suspended working on that terrain in 2015 when Terrain Builder crashed every time I tried to export layers. Thank you for your info. I didn't notice that. I'd try divide the terrain to four 4096x4096 raster and have a look.

    L3DT standard cannot open any terrain bigger than 2048x2048, you know. Can you have a look at it? I have PM'd you the raw terrain and the pbo packed by addon builder.

    Thank you very much for the comment. I could have cut a smaller piece with Global Mapper. However, I wonder if the game Arma 3 is smart enough to take my addon (packed with unbinarized wrp) off the map list for the reason that it is too large. Arma 3 won't try preload wrp, will it? I have no idea how to generate convincing noise to make smaller cells from 1 arc second raster(the best definition to obtain outside the United State I guess). If I scale it down 10 times it will be too dainty, with mini hills and valleies. Can you give me some advice? BTW, since Buldozer can load wrp that is not binarized(though I find it not ascii either), is it possible to disable pboProject from binarizing WRP and let it copy WRP directly into pbo？

    30 meter grid resampled from ASTERGDEM V2. 8192x8192 raster. aka 245,760 meter. A bit too large, i guess. No, buldozer has been loading forever. The most recent terrain builder works fine (it depends on which specific machine it runs on though).

    Thank you. It works amazingly now. When it tried to binarize wrp, it freezed with a full-speed-running cpu core. The same problem goes when I use addonbuilder which calls binarize.exe, too. Some source says that the terrain may be too rough. Mine is a large terrain imported from DEM. I don't know if I can figure out where the problem is.

    @RoF No, pboProject doesn't work. I have installed all the tools in the folder, and pboProject threw an error. Console: Tools installed:

    Thank you for the reply! I will try pboProject later today. Class UTM was generated by Terrain Builder > Map Frame > MCE. No idea of its usage. I merged this config with PMC's config template.

    The default elevation angle (vertical) of a deployed rifle with official bi-pod would be about -10 ~ 10 degrees when prone, or -20 ~ 20 degrees otherwise. How to config that in 3rd-party mods? I'm pretty sure that, unlike turning horizontally, elevating is not restricted by collision detection, since a soldier lying on the edge of a building with his upper body suspended in the air still cannot aim more than 10 degrees up or down against the platform he is lying on. BTW, the deployed bi-pod is much closer to the ground when prone, than to the objects deployed on when kneeling or standing. Is that configurable?

    Very glad to see you guys porting HIP to ArmA 3, and thank you for the enjoyment HIP for ArmA 2 had brought me. IJA had upgraded their armament and throughout the conflict with China. Weapons and uniforms in Manchurian Incident were much different than in the Pacific War. For instance, Type 38 rifles were produced no less than Type 99's, but none in ArmA unfortunately. Currently we, a mod team, are working on far-east battlefield of WWII, esp. China. Infantries, weapons and terrains are built slowly but steadily. I wonder if we can have a talk on a shared framework of config, scripts, models, etc., and how I can contact you. Greetings, Hiddenzone.

    Terrain Processor

    hiddenzone replied to Tom_48_97's topic in ARMA 3 - TERRAIN - (BUILDER)

    Is it possible to generate plant objects with surface mask rather than .shp file? What about GeoTIFF height map? Quite hope there being a tool to make series of maps automatically.

    Great Job! Hope to see a command line tool to enable people make multiple maps with single batch file, from raw height-map/masks to packed .pbo directly.

    Would you please provide another mirror of your tools, as dev-heaven is unlikely to be back in the foreseeable future?

    I made a map for ArmA 2. And now I going to make a big one (with 30 x 30 m cells) for ArmA 3. Hence my question: 1. What differs most between Visitor 3 and Terrain Builder? Which difference makes the biggest trouble for you? 2. What is the minimum PBOs to be unpacked when setting up P: drive? My laptop has small disk space. 3. It seems that Terrain Builder introduced UTM. What if the terrain crossed UTM zones like what I am making? 4. Is BI going to introduce in-game map-switching in ArmA 3 like VBS 3 within 1 or 2 years, so that I may split the terrain? 5. Or if not, I may build a big terrain. Is it still going to crash with 8192 x 8192 grid size in Terrain Builder?

    Hello, Sickboy, Six Config Browser is down now. When will it resume? If not, would you provide a download-able local package? Many thanks. ---------- Post added at 08:26 ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 ---------- Hello, Sonsalt6, Six Config Browser is down now. When will it resume?

    ASTER GDEM v2 has a 1 arc-second grid resolution, or 30 meters approximately. Interpolating raw data into height map with 10mx10m or smaller grids will generate more details, but aren't these details false? When does it make sense to interpolate raw satellite DEM data? BTW: What if I make a 4096x4096px, 30mx30m terrain of which size is 123kmx123km? And how about an 8192x2048px, 246km x 62km terrain? (PS: Why 8192x8192px terrain errs?)

    Indies I think. It was not before the Ping-pong diplomacy did the PRC regained deplomacy relationship with the US, while she had splited with USSR for more than 10 years. However, the heads of CCCP was open enough to seek cooperation with its former-enemies. So you can take it as a BLUFOR-friendly Ind-force.
