Project status at 08.12.2017: converting it into terrain format: https://forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/212253-podolsk-city-district-4-terrain/ Hi! I made a template based on my hometown's district area. I know that such a huge template should be made in a form of terrain, but so far I failed with the terrain builder. And 3DEN is so easy to use... So here it is. Updated at 05.06.2017: version 65 released. Podolsk city (Moscow region), district №4, version 65: Download from Armaholic: Podolsk city, district #4 template v65 Or download from Mediafire: https://www.mediafire.com/?h1czw6mu07456of Unzip and place the 4mk65.grassland folder to your Documents/Arma 3/missions folder. Then open it in the 3DEN editor. This template is heavily addon dependable. Addons used: * Grassland http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=30347 * CUP Terrains Complete http://cup-arma3.org/download * X-Cam-Taunus http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=32107 * Gorod Island http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26811 * Chernobyl Zone http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=21332 * ArmA 3 Custom Buildings - Original http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=29678 * Urban Pack http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=11458 * French road signs pack http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=32029 * PMC Terrain Objects http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=17289 * AGS Buildings Pack http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=10798 * PLP Urban Packs: Barriers and Fences http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=31123 * P44 house http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=3173 * Stars Editing Suite http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=25890 * mikebarts Soft Shaded Trees http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=9700 * Eden Extended Objects http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=32497 And all of the DLCs except of Jets are needed. I sure used some of the assets with those DLC's icons next to them. * Apex (I think it's no longer needed after the recent Arma 3 game update) * Helicopters * Karts * Marksmen I also used "Midrange Terrain Texture Replacement [BETA]" http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=19524 for screenshots, it really improves the quality of terrain texture. But the template does not need it. I tried to make it as true to reality as possible, but considering that I'm using only existing assets, it's a hard task. The template is not optimized, e.g.: I used a lot of small objects to create one building. I run it on Intel i3 6100 stock. It gives me around 20 FPS while just running around alone, but surprisingly the FPS not dropping past 15 even with >100 AI units fighting on the map. That's nice FPS, right? lol. I suggest to turn the editor's interface off (backspace key by default) to improve the performance when the template is loaded. Also it may help to keep Entity List collapsed. The ultimate goal is to properly ask all of the respective authors for permissions and make a terrain out of it. And also to replace those composite buildings with proper single models. Objects count: 22789 Area: 0.5 km^2 Screenshots and comparison with real life photos: Short video trailer: Google maps: https://www.google.com/maps/@55.4310899,37.4997858,1053m/data=!3m1!1e3 Later I'll upload more screenshots to the appropriate thread. P.S.: I usually go by the name Cannibal. Apollyanna is just a Steam account name used by me for Project Argo gaming.

Hi! I tried using Dynamic Simulation to increase framerate in my mission, but surprisingly it doesn't work. The units which have DS enabled don't "wake up" at all. The simulation does not start, therefore I have quite a big problem. If I disable DS for a unit, the simulation goes normally, same for global disabling of DS - all units behave as they should. I'm using 3den Enhanced, but don't think that's what's causing this situation, since I've read that it works normally with 3E. Any ideas where the issue lies?

Since the 64 bit update I can't access the dropdown-menu of triggers activation field. Anyone else experiencing this? Image showing what I'm referring to.

Hi there I have tried for two days to ascertain how does one play a "low ranked" human controlled Rifleman in a Squad of AI controlled units on a search and destroy mission. And then half way through said Eden mission. The AI Squad leader grants you control of his 6 man Squad, with you now being able to control the units. I am part of the squad grouped. I cant find the working syntax for is Leader of or set leader. I also doubt a way point on me of Join will work as I am already part of the unit from the start. Unless said unit is disbanded only to join and lead later. I know there is a Mission in the original Cold war crises in Red hammer. You play half way through and are given squad level command. Also unit swapping via playable also is not what I want.

Hi, http://i.imgur.com/fAm3XqV.png Has anyone come across this problem: 1. Place Objects in 3DEN editor 2. Export Objects From 3DEN editor. 3. Import objects into Terrain Builder with absolute height. The result is the objects positions are all messed up. Some seem to be in the right location, others are floating in the air or at odd angles. I think the problem occurs when the objects touch each other as placeing a rock in the middle of a empty feild and importing it from 3DEN into terrain builder seems to work fine the imported objects are even more messed up if imported with relative position. I can't see anyone having mentioned this as a problem before on forums or google, does anyone have experience with this problem / a solution? Thanks.

Situation:Eden-F1-Assets-Things-Lights-Camping Lantern. There is two kinds - lantern and lantern (off). In Zeus lantern spawns without light by day and with light by night, and properly change status with time transition. In Eden - without light ever. Even in night. And did not work with transition. Is that correctable by scripting f.e.? Lanterns should be placed with "Enabled simulation". But then they can fall through that table. :(

Now that when we have the compositions in 3den that opens whole new level of editing I'm now wondering why we can't organise / layer our compositions into folders? Are you planning to do so or is it impossible to make because It will be on Steam Workshop where you will basically have to stick with the current predefined category system? Sorry for bloating forums with it, but feedback tracker is still down and I can't seem to find any other topic to post things like this.. Cheers.

As the title says, if you set a unit as owner of a trigger and set the trigger to fire for example to any group member, it will only fire to the OWNER. Doesn't matter what option you choose (leader, all group members, any group members) it will only fire to the owner. This affects both single player and multiplayer. Although the .SQM appears to be correctly coded, in practice it does not work as intended. I'm trying to make a mission with a trigger that only fires to a single group and it's nearly impossible to make it work. The alternative is using "unit1 in thisList" but even this alternative isn't flawless because if the "unit1" doesn't exist, the function doesn't return either TRUE or FALSE resulting in the condition to be incomplete and not work at all. The workaround I found is using endless IFs (numberOfUnitsInGroup ^2) to check wether or not - first of all - wether or not that unit exists "!isNill "unit1" and if it exists it THEN adds the function of "unit1 in thisList". Because you have to check for every unit and every possible combination of wether or not the pawn was created in the mission, it makes a simple operation of setting trigger owner and setting to any group member, unbelievably complex to solve. Another alternative that I haven't tried is using a switch that perhaps could facilitate the madness of using tree IFs. The only way to make the Trigger Owner method to work correctly ONCE in eden is if you make this method in 2D editor and export to 3D editor. It will work ONCE when you run the mission but once you return back to editor it appears the .SQM is rewritten and stops working. This is an unbelievable bug that did not exist in the old 2D editor and should be fixed with high priority.

Hi, I remark that the result is inverted for 3DEN attribute "show model". By default, this option is checked and object/unit is visible. Uncheck the "show model" in 3DEN for whatever unit/object. Run preview (SP). The model is still visible. Check "show model": the model becomes invisible, uncheck again: the model is back, check.... now you have an inverted toggle. Other attributes (special states) seem to work normally, so far.

I was wondering if it was possible to add new subcategories? Thanks, Night515

I'm Having this issue with the Eden since RC, i just can't click on the black menus screens. the only way to use then is to use the arrow keys to select the one i want and press arrow key right. it's strange because even on hovering over the menu it does not highlight the selection, neither let me click it. the issue is with ALL of these menus on the eden new windows (not the video options ,audio or controls options ).
