Hi I would like to place Trees, Bushes & Rocks in the Editor... I used to place Buildings with the Tutorial from Youtube (placing an invisible Helipad with Init: bla bla= "Land_House_F" createVehicle position this; deleteVehicle this;) But i did not find anything about how to place Trees.. Thanks for your help ;-)

Hi people I'm from the Good Gamers X-Rated Clan (GGX), we played Clanwars in the early days of Operation Flashpoint and enjoyed it ;-) The good old TNT-League might be something the VETs heard about it. First of all, I'm impressed about ARMA III, i like the new soldier Animations and the infantry movements. I enjoyed a lot of CTI Wars and C+H Maps last days. My wish is to let a CQB/CTF Community grow up beside the COOP-Community with Clanwars and Leagues. I plan to create CTF-Maps and I would have allready startet creating some maps if I was a programmer. I created many maps for Operation Flashpoint and an Island called Lipovac for the TNT-League. I forgot allmost everything about Mapmaking, and I guess some things changed since ARMA. 1. Are you interessted in mapmaking and would you love to see a small CQB-Community growing up within ARMA III with Clanwars and Leagues? Please answer. 2. Is there any template for CTF Maps? How should I start? 3. Did you see any good scripted CTF Maps which I could use as a template? Thanks and see u on the battlefield ;-) GGX John Lennon

Yo! If you need the CTF Maps, just give me a private message with your e-mail adress. ...GGX is also looking for clanwars ;-) lets fix a date

ty Taxman! :-) a big Thank you to katEr (encode) who helps me with scripting :-) when we got 7-10 maps, i will release a MAP-PACK.. hopefully more clans will join the ARMA 3 CTF Community... we can start a League then, may be called TNT? :-D ^^

Well, the bug-fix works!!! :-D ... i will add now 1 Grenade per Player to the Loadout

Yo MCY :-D Good to see you guys! :-) ARMA III is what we were waiting for! I'm working on CTF-Maps, got 4 Maps until now, more will follow! Got to fix some little bugs, I will send you the map-pack when its ready! If you could send me a private-message with your e-mail I will send you the pack! Cu soon ;-)

thank you mate!!! :-D You are welcome to join our servers everytime :-)

so, will anything change about this? Can any dev confim this pls? We are trying to start a PvP CQB-League with CTF and C&H Maps... Small maps with a lot of action 5v5 - 10v10... Most players are confused about how many bullets it needs to kill... this ends up with spraying the hole mag when you see an enemy...

yo :-) Sent you CTF Gospic + a new version of CTF Kalithea ;-) when next clanwar? ---------- Post added at 17:36 ---------- Previous post was at 17:15 ---------- ahhh.. the nade-script doesnt work... you got now ammo-box with all types of nades, smoke-nades too... :-/

3 Maps made so far! [CQB]-[CTF-24]St.Pierre [CQB]-[CTF-24]Kalithea [CQB]-[CTF-24]Gospic All maps are on small terrain and full of action. When i got 2 maps more, i will release a mappack with 5 CTF Maps. Next project is CTF Graveyard

@taxman I sent you the new maps! ;-)

well, thats 9pm swiss-time i guess... yes thats ok!!! :-D SBS Server. I'll send you the new version of St.P + the new map called Kalithea, when its finished ;-)

yo Taxman :-) What Time Clanwar tonight? :-)

2nd map: [CQB]-[CTF-24]Kalithea-v1-01 will be ready tomorrow. Its in a little town close to the sea, it starts early in the morning and has Dynamic Weather Effects ;-) I'll send it to you taxman when its ready.. btw, i got the script now: Weapons to choose: - KATIBA - MX Optics to choose: - ACO red - ACO green - Laser (no optics with sniper-zoom!)

Yo :-) ... yea, ARMA III has a lot of potential ;-) ... The script is not yet ready, to take out optics from the list. I'll change it, that only one weapon is allowed (KATIBA) without any optics... just pure! ;-) this could lead to an interessting gameplay. + The spawn-problem is fixed this way. Nades could lead to spawn-raping...

I sent you a new version! You can delete the old one! Ty!

fine :-D Sunday sounds good! I'll communicate it. A friendly-war is the perfect method to learn the map and to find out if it needs some improvement! THIS SUNDAY, 10-06-2013, SBS vs. GGX, on SBS Server ;-) 4v4, 5v5, 6v6?

Spawn-Camping is for my understanding, when you can get killed at the place you have spawned.. Thats for sure unwanted.. In a good CTF-Map your spawn is protected and you got many different ways to get out of the spawn to the "fight-area". The map [CQB]-[CTF-20]St-Pierre-v1-01 is finished now. I sent you the pbo Taxman! ;-) GGX has also a Server, we have to set it up first. Cu soon ;-) more maps will follow!

Yo :-D Map is not finished yet. When everything works and i got a solid version, I'll send you the one! ;-) And later I'll make some more maps.. CTF pwns!!!! :-D

what a pitty... would have been nice if Trees could have been handled like buildings, to place them in a map, without any use of addons... :-/ thanks for your quick answer!

had some map-testing yesterday [CQB]-[CTF]-St.Pierre-20 ...was really funny to play a CTF like in the good old days :-D .. ARMA III is definitely ready and able for some good CQB. The map will be updated the next days and tested again.. when its ready I'll go for the next CTF Map ;-)

it takes 4 shots with the MX 6.5mm to kill. Even if you are 3m away... it feels a bit like CoD Normal Mode ^^ ... I would like it if 1 shot was enough... I prefer PvP-mode, and it would improve the gameplay if the weapons were "stronger"... the KI would also be much stronger, if they see you - you are dead ;-) ... but anyway, it would be more realistic for my understandig :-)

heyyyy Taxman :-D Good to see you :-) Yes, we got Figaro, Spanky, Zerberus, Satan and may be Westy :-) and 1-2 more.. its funny, i got a Band called THE FOOLS (www.thefools.ch) we play our own songs and 2-3 covers... TAXMAN from The Beatles is one of our covers :-D .. how are you mate? :-) ---------- Post added at 05:08 ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 ---------- Hi kju Are you the skilled scripter who made CTF Napalm? :-) If yes, you should be the one who creates the final CTF-Template. I think we should have a good concept before we release the maps... Therefore we could make a little skype-meeting or chat to discuss what should be included in the maps etc. What you think? To reach as many people as possible, we should present the ctf & c&h maps as the "ARMA 3 CQB Experience". It will be the first REALISTIC CQB Game compared to COD & Battlefield.. When we got the maps ready, some servers up, Dslyx could help us to promote it.. I think your idea with ESL-League is very good :-)

+1 the weapons should be stronger

Thanks for your answers! I'm back from Holidays now ;-) Altis has some nice places for some good CQB. We should follow the steps to be successful: - The CTF-Maps should be scripted as good as possible for good performance - No Addons required - "Easy to play" => jump in the game and play. Not too many options for the players to choose: 1-3 Weapons / no uniform options / may be 1 Nade per player/round/ etc. - "Easy to play" => avoid friendly fire => east team has red barret and west team blue ones. I saw that on a map called CTF Napalm (was quiet good). As the uniforms now look quiet the same, how ever the light is. - Every map starts with the same kind of Intro which is SHORT & BEAUTIFUL with any logo/tag. Could be a CQB-Logo. WE CREATE THE ARMA3-CQB-EXPERIENCE. - Every CTF-Map has the same name/tag at the beginning. f.E. [CQB]CTF-Kavala / [CQB]CTF-St.Pierre / [CQB]CTF-Altis (and we should have some servers running this maps. Ppl will start looking for it if they like it) We can also make some special CTF-Maps like CTF-Everon was with one Tank per side and 2 LAW-Soldiers... or put in 1 Jeep per side which will not respawn when its broken. I work as a graphic designer and i make movies. I could help with the logos, make some little movies to attract more people.. what you think? (sry for my english, i'm a swiss cheese) ;-) ---------- Post added at 10:14 ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 ---------- good to see you Delta :-D ... would be even better to see on the Battlefield :-D
