Figured this belonged here as it's a problem I'm having with a community made utility and not an actual terrain issue. So after 3 days, I'm admitting defeat. Hopefully someone can point out what I missed and why Mikero's MakePbo stops responding when I try to pack my terrain. It was working fine a few days ago, I even tried packing all my old versions of the terrain that packed fine last time I packed them, but all resulted in MakePbo not responding. I hadn't installed any new programs, no windows updates, even worked after the most recent A3 and A3 Tools updates so I'm fairly certain it's a configuration issue in PboProject that I screwed up and didn't realize it or I need to re-install windows. :confused: To be clear, the terrain has worked in-game. My latest change was ONLY shifting a few points on some roads that angled too hard. Nothing else was touched. I tried packing another mod I have and I get the same issue there as well, MakePbo stops responding. Here's the DOS Window: scanning for jobs to do....

Fully modular, it's just as modular as AGM if not more. It's only 60MB unzipped... It's far easier for communities to play together if everyone already has the entire mod and its as simple as toggling something on or off in the editor. But to answer your question, removing individual pbos works as long as the core is kept.

I've got a question regarding the road tiles that are place-able in X-Cam. I've always found it a bit difficult to place roads in TB as you can't always tell exactly how far apart they actually are and you sometimes get gaps where roads meet. If you placed all of the roads for a map using X-Cam exclusively, would the AI have trouble following the road or would they detect there is a road there and follow it for driving?

Silola, this is absolutely fantastic work! I spent about 10 hours creating a small town using the BI tools before, I just remade it with far more detail in about 30 minutes with this. You've given the terrain building community more than we can thank you for, this is simply the most outstanding tool for designing terrains. Thank you so much for your efforts, hopefully seeing some great terrains built using X-Cam will give you the satisfaction you've given us.

Latest version does not seem to allow users to change "group size" or "icon". Tried on both Dedicated and in Editor using PDA and Tablet.

I wonder if the way MCC can daisy-chain IEDs to go off simultaneously could be utilized. Maybe an additional button in the explosives menu that you can shift+click a few explosives and "link" them so when any of them is detonated they all go off since they're chained together?

Shay & Spirit, I hope you guys don't let the complaints from anyone get to you. This mod is absolutely a must have and has allowed our unit and many others give mission making capabilities to members new to the game. Its great when anyone with an idea for a mission can quickly bring it to life on our server without having to learn how to navigate the default 2D editor or understand scripting. While we don't currently use a lot of the newer features you've implemented, the option to enable them at any point has had us flipping some on for specific missions giving us a unique experience or giving us the functionality needed when we need it. Thank you for all you've done because your work truly makes this community great. One thing I've been wondering, though I'm sure its a longshot just for complexity alone; have you looked into improving the weather system to have the sandstorms and blizzards have a scaling feature that would allow the mission maker to have a light snow increase to a full blizzard over an hour or something? I know the default 2D editor has ability to set something similar with rain. Would love to hear if it's even possible with the weather from MCC or if the way its implemented makes it impossible.

Hey Turtle, do you plan on making it so the Osprey can be spawned by Zeus?

If it says "You must load an intro/world/mission to view/change", then I'd suggest doing as it says. As long as you have CBA and TFAR running, launch a mission, jump in the editor and preview, join a server, etc... anything that allows you to play as a character, then go ahead and follow the ESC > Controls > Configure Addons. It's worked for me since they implemented the menu.

ESC > Controls > Configure Addons (bottom right of the pane) You'll find TFAR under the drop down menu and all the keybindings.

Don't let a lack of responses fool you, we'd all love to see this! I think a lot of people have become hesitant about mods with lofty goals as we've seen a lot of them recently become abandoned, some without ever getting a first release.

I've been a long time ArmA player and finally after years of admiring the work this community has created, I decided to finally put together something to add to the community. This mod came about from my group searching for a uniform mod we liked. We liked some uniforms we found, but most didn't quite have everything we were looking for. As a result I made some based on the US4CES camo pattern by ADS Inc. & Guy Cramer. We've been very pleased with them since implementing them 2 months ago. Included are 4 variants: Arid, OCIE, Woodland and Black. The black variant is a gray scale version of the Arid pattern I made for those covert/night operations. No addons are required Screenshots MediaFire Download AVERS US4CES Uniforms v1.0 I made a second mod which is radio backpacks for TFAR. The backpacks use the models from the C-L-F backpack radios for TFAR as their model. I made this a separate addon so the uniforms wouldn't require any other addons in case anybody likes the uniforms but doesn't use TFAR. Included are the same 4 variants as the uniform addon.

That is one gorgeous aircraft, well done firewill! Can't wait to call this for some airstrikes. As was mentioned earlier, it'd be great if you could get the service menu John_Spartan and Saul made for customizing the loadout for specific mission needs. Not needed, but would certainly compliment this beautiful model you made. Keep up the great work!

Would it be possible to use the road .paa files and repaint them to look like railways? Then you'd use the same procedure for polylines and just define the railway .paa files isntead of the road ones. Really not sure if that'd work at all though.

Thanks! That's almost exactly what I was thinking was possible with the polygon idea I was attempting. Not as easy as a brush tool to paint them in buldozer but certainly easier than the alternatives.

I've gone through the numerous tutorials (Monkalb, Jakerod, Bushlurker, etc...), I've got a working map and all that. However I've encountered an issue that I couldn't find info on. Is there a way to "paint" a texture onto the terrain in buldozer or TB? My cities have no concrete which just looks odd and since I don't have the roads on my sat or mask images to reference, it's very difficult to figure out where the towns are. If not, is there an alternative to reopening the mask in Photoshop and guessing where I need to change textures? If there's a way to export the roads on an image with the sat image? That would at least get me in the right area when painting in PS but still requires a lot of time to tweak. One other thing I thought might but possible but didn't seem to have any way to do it, was making a polygon and setting it to display a certain texture. Anyways, if anyone has any tips on how I can make it a little easier to change the textures, feel free to share. :)

Thanks Shultzit, that worked perfectly!

I'm having the exact opposite issue of Ice9. My roads work in-game perfectly, but they don't show up in Buldozer which makes placing objects right next to the roads rather frustrating. Is there a button or option you're supposed to click somewhere in TB that activates the roads? I clicked the option on the TB toolbar that says "Show Roads" but that has had no effect on Buldozer.

Another successful operation for us on Saturday! We had 5 Fire-Teams operating in the AO and CAS assets providing precision support in targeting and eliminating an HVT making a run for the border. Thanks to our excellent FTLs we managed to ambush the HVT's convoy, confirm the kill and extract from the AO within the 45 minute time-frame with minimal losses! Looking to get in on the excitement of our missions? Hop in our TeamSpeak and chat with any of our guys for more info on how we operate and we'll have you running operations with us as soon as you've downloaded the mods! Did I mention we have operations running daily? From small 4 man missions all the way up to full unit coordinated assaults on enemy bases!

We're always ready to accept new members that show the maturity and respect we look for! We focus on infantry first, but our current growth rate is allowing us to add in more openings for non-infantry roles quickly! Hop in our TeamSpeak and get started today!

Echo Dragons are a member of the North Atlantic Command community Over the past few months, several groups including ourselves have joined together to form a community for our groups to communicate and cooperate through. The community serves the role of providing a ground on which we can all meet and game together while keeping each of our groups separate and maintaining our own identities. Some groups share the same TeamSpeak in order to facilitate open communications among the players from both groups thus allowing for TvT and coop missions involving multiple units to occur far faster than if each had their own TS3 server. We're eager to continue this strong community as we've had successful TvT matches with 2-3 clans on each side in epic battles as well as joint coop missions allowing our units to create friends with members of other great units in the ArmA family. If you'd like to join the Echo Dragons to participate in these great events, check out our wep-page and TeamSpeak; and while you're at it, check out the North Atlantic Command page to see the upcoming events with our excellent ally groups! http://www.echodragons.com/ TS3: ts3.echodragons.com http://www.north-atlantic-command.com/

Won't be possible to do it on the Hunter as they'd need the unbinarized model from BI which won't happen. Someone already asked BI since they wanted to do the Hunter with a traditional .50 Cal. Other option is to remodel from scratch but that's a lot of effort for a vehicle most people would rather replace with a traditional Humvee.

I accidentally deleted a letter before I packed it guys, sorry about that. MediaFire Link is updated with fixed pbo for the Uniforms.
