Hello all, My custom buildings work flawlessly by using the editor or debug to spawn them in, everything works fine. But when I place a building in visitor and pack the map up to have a look. The proxies aren't loading on my buildings and neither are the animations, it's just leaving me with the main .p3d by itself. Any ideas on what can be done to fix this issue? I have seen that placing the prefix Land on the building classname should do it e.g. class Land_HouseAAB: House It calls off House then the House calls of HouseBase so I don't think that's an issue. Any ideas on what can be done? Cheers, Matt.

Hello all, I'm successful in getting my animations to work on my whale, but when I place it down in the editor, it only does the Whale_stop/idle animation where it just moves it's fins, it refuses to swim! The animations work fine under Debug Animations button, All 3 animations work flawlessly. The only time it swims is for about 1-2 seconds when I click preview then it decided to do the Whale_Stop animation. Any ideas? Here is the config. http://pastebin.com/v3Smw5hE [My config with alterations to suit the whale] Here is the config, that I have altered for my whale, This is the FISH Config. http://pastebin.com/g6fgb0Vd [Pretty much the template] Any ideas? Cheers.

Hey, I have my models hardcoded onto a map (not placed by the editor or script). Every-time I edit my model, the placement of the buildings on the map raise like 1-2m in height and move slightly. I've been in the business long enough to know I'm not moving my whole model. Does the game generate a location when placed in Terrain Builder off the Geometry, and if I add more geometry it Regenerates it's position? Cheers, Mattaust.

I removed like one geometry piece or a small proxy and boom, 2m above ground, 4m displacement. The buildings are still the same size. It's quite stupid for them to develop such a system. when they could just reference the XYZ point in oxygen and use that as a basis, just like in the editor or script.

Hey all, Aussie and I (custom map maker) are interested in this CUP-Terrain. So will the base just be content, and the modular packages are additional maps? What file size could we estimate for the base back to be? Just really interested, because we hear people whinging atleast 10 times a day about AIA, but we need it for the content. Cheers.

Here's the Promo Video: The good looking thumbnail wont update for quite a while, so you have took at this one. AUSTRALIA MAP PROMO

Tony doing his best is a paradox.

Not sure, I'm launching a Video Promotion tonight to try and get more players interested, hence maximising the amount of missions created. The more people that get ALL IN ARMA, the more people that can enjoy custom maps with maximum variety. [Maybe within 24 hours because I have Tony Abbott Internet]

Here are some Images that I took this evening of the V2 Map (Mainly building pics) Outback Australia (417 kB) IGA Store (493 kB) Bank & Centrelink (277 kB) New Double Story House (507 kB) Double Story Rear (361 kB) Correctional Facility (holidng yard) Update (618 kB) Exercise Yard (427 kB) Centrelink Interior (167 kB) Comm Bank with Brick (402 kB) Comm Bank Interior (170 kB) Hope you all enjoy the map (and the buildings!) Cheers.

Foxhound, I just updated the title to include V2 Released, but is now no longer on the front page, could you reapply please? Cheers.

Thank you, Thank you. It was all my effort :cool:

Wait, So the only way to really resolve this is to keep moving objects within terrain builder as I update them in Object Builder.

Cheers, Mattaust P.S. Please donate to our cause : )

Not long now guys till release. I'd love to post a changelog for my buildings, but you would all find the fixes too boring, plus it's a big list!

We took those buildings into consideration, but the problem is that they are not ready to be on the Australian Map. Reasons: 1) American Themed 2) Interiors Missing 3) Materials on buildings need to be improved. If a time comes when they do improve, we'll definitely be more interested.

Bug Tracker back online: Same link. CLICK HERE FOR BUG TRACKER

I'll look into it ASAP.

Guys if you have any questions, I have a livestream of myself 3D Modelling structures. Come in, ask questions, learn the way of a modeller, or come in for a sticky beek. http://www.twitch.tv/mattaustz/

I believe I will be working on the mm bank today, the MM Residential is basically complete and updated with 6 variants, ai pathways, shadows, geomtry fixes, and texture fixes.

Thanks Colonel, I will definitely add AI Pathway LODS to the buildings, sorry that they didn't make it in this release as I was too busy with Study. I'll try and get them all up to date in the update, also can people please report features/bugs/suggestions in the bug tracker as it will make my life a little easier as I work through it all, cheers.

The scope of the buildings is set to a value that prevents players from searching in the editor (and maybe the config viewer, if I can remember). Next update will have this fixed, so you can see the buildings within the editor. Please remember: ARMA 3 - AUSTRALIAN LIFE BUG REPORTER/TRACKER CLICK HERE

Here's a tip for the Executive: Scrap the ARMA engine, actually spend some time creating a game engine that allows for high population servers without the server strain. As well a creating an engine that requires 64bit quad core cpu's from the start, and start utilising the GPU more. This is never going to happen, because ARMA is the puppet of VBS's studio BI Simulations. Whatever VBS releases, we are always 1-2 games behind. So you want to know what features are going to be in ARMA 4? just look at the latest VBS, but also minus some features, because they wont give you the lot.

Thanks Phonic, I understand about the ambient occlusion on some of my textures, thanks for helping me narrow it down, just an error with the PAA and will be fixed. Also Residential buildings will be tweaked quite a bit, those buildings were made in half a day and were quite a quick job. Cheers, and thanks again.

Yeah just found an error for steam friends Aussie. Error 101 Friend not found. Add me again? lol
