  1. I'll put it to you nice and simple.

    Don't want others feeding off your ideas and building on them, don't bother creating any mission. In fact, don't create anything in the game.

    If you have the talent to pull it off you could try to create serverside functions that are passed to clients with publicVariable then executed. It's a pretty effective method for keeping most of the randoms off your mission as it won't work for them when they put the clientside pbo in their server. Though I doubt its fool proof as they could probably sniff packets that are sent from the server with the information in the script thats serverside then it renders the whole thing kinda useless.

    I believe it's fair for people to try create something for their community and be allowed to get something back from that. ie. Their server getting popular. What OP wants to do here is stop kiddies taking his mission effortlessly and fair enough imo.

    You could add a NoDerivatives term and have add a server check. Unlikely to be followed by most, but will defer larger communities.

    Good Luck with your missions. :)

    Update:

    Damn, I missed this.

    On 3rd December BIS released Huron Helicopter templates similar to design of the rest of my templates. I've reworked the BIS version slightly to my layout under APL.

    It's very similar put you have to be harder on colour correction. decrease brightness and increase contrast etc...

    Hopefully BIS will release more of these and maybe we'll get an official stance on any others?


  3. @Wetsuit06, thanks :)

    @Nevbox Who! If you have some pictures, it would help me greatly!

    Seems most of my photos are lost, but I can still give you some info. Panoramio is great and shows some nice shots. Imo most of it apart from the main town is very dry and bleak. Much drier than Stratis. I've never tried this, but look into retexturing the villas at ghost hotel or similar. Lots of hotel/apartments in the main town.

    Edit: The island is also very hilly in places, so I'd like to suggest make some impassable areas for infantry or vehicles.


  4. Hi Nevbox.

    I am very interested in this code here. Could you let me know where you put this packed PBO? And did you sign it?

    I have tried using it in the server "Addons" folder. I signed it but it returns a error. \no entry config.bin/cfgMarkers.mrk_Cvehiclestore.paa

    Is it best used in the mission PBO? That would be ideal!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks mate.

    It's not signed. Should work fine with other addons. The sample .pbo is just to help you make your own. Can't be done in a mission.


  5. I've been working on this as a project. I've done the:

    HummingBird

    Hatchback

    Strider

    Independent Solider

    Also upvote this:

    Makes it much easier to create these templates.

    Decent collection here as well by DreamRebel

    DreamRebels work is APL-SA so I might build on it.


  6. Hi Deltagamer,

    I will ask our modelling team where they came from this evening when I get home but from my understanding they have been using vehicles and editing/importing their own versions of original items.

    The Bus is the model from Crysis 2. The model was likely semi fiction. Also the texture is a dead giveaway. Only with a lot of hard work could someone replicate that texture to wrap exactly the same way round their model. It's a rip %100.

    There are community's with libarys of illegal RIPs, like the forza one, likely where they got them.


  7. Can you do a hatchback? I really want to make a OSCE skin for the hatchback.

    Yeah I've done hatchback already. Cleaned it up and added it to OP. The hatchback template has a background rust layer, you can use a custom brush to create some nice noise and effects.

    Update: Made the templates more dynamic.

    Do not edit mat, this is what will make your texture look good.

    Layers:

    Exclusion - Things like lights

    mats - Mostly a lighting filter.

    colour - the bit you edit.

    original - the original BIS texture for reference

    Hatchback has a rust layer, use a brush set to clear to create rust effects on edges.

    Can't find a template??? Make one!

  9. Had the same problem with Rome Total War Gold, with the steam client running I temporarily renamed the game folder ("\Rome Total War Gold" > "\Rome Total War Gold!" and uninstalled the game. Renamed the game folder to its original name and reinstalled the game, it discovered the game files and the problem was gone. If you do the same thing for Arma 3 (development version) it will probably find many files changed (due to frequently updates) and you will have to redownload them.

    Just a theory but this has probably something to do with corrupted .acf files.

    I gave up due to waiting too long and reinstalled. Going to highlight this in Op.

    Thanks.
