Hey guys, below are two sets of Tanoa-based HDRI environment maps I made for use in Substance Painter and Blender. They should be compatible with a number of other 3D modeling softwares and texturing programs. The idea is to allow users to have a 3D environment from Arma 3 to create their materials within so as to give better reference to the environment and the lighting around the object. Included below is a 4k set and an 8k set of 3D images at sunrise, midday, and twilight each for use with the Arma 3 Apex Shader's respective preview modes. Please feel free to comment with other maps or concerns/ideas to enhance the final products. Download 4k or Download 8k

Hi, I want to remove this GPS cross from the map which is showing while the player is in an aircraft. I want a map which is finally a map and not a GPS device named map.. How can I achieve that? In-game options? Script? Mod? Thanks

After a lot of hard work, I feel comfortable sharing the progress of my terrain with the community. This terrain is set off the west coast of Scotland. The area is dominated by villages and small farms/industry, intertwined with dense forests. Coastal areas are flat and broken up by tall hedgerows and fields, whilst the less populated inland is mainly large valleys and hills with tight twisting roads. The terrain itself is 5KMx5KM, features two separate land masses (three including a small island) and is heavily based off the real world counterpart. So far all buildings are 100% enterable and I plan on keeping it that way This terrain is still very much a work in progress. In the near future I would like to release an Alpha build for people to try out and to give feedback on. I haven't decided how I will do this (either through steam or a private download). MORE INFO ON ALPHA RELEASE And the most important part... The image gallery

Hi, is there any possible way to toggle the visibility layer for a specific module so it won't clutter every inch of my modified Malden map? There are some modules that just have a simple marker but no outer transparent boundaries and it would be great to hide this effect while in 3d editor. Thanks for any help

DIYALA VERSIONS I have been using the Diyala terrain for Middle East scenarios, but after having twisted it with scripts to make to look more like Syria or certain parts of Iraq, and dealing with the problem of AI not crossing the irrigation canal, I decided to settle for a faster, easier and readily available solution: just select the terrain in 3den. This set of three versions for the Diyala terrain chosable as different terrains (no irrigation, olive trees and different palm trees) 1 - Diyala (no irrigation): Same Diyala but without the irrigation channel. It's a vegetation strip instead 2 - Diyala Olives: No irrigation channel, some custom edits for Diyala and olive trees instead of palm trees 3 - Diyala Palms: No irrigation channel, some custom edits for Diyala and a different model of palm tree (Malden palms) instead of the original Tanoa ones Needs the orginal Diyala terrain as dependency. Respects @CypeRevenge work: no upload of original Diyala. Just a bunch of config.cpp and scripts. Modular: You can delete unwanted terrains and keep only one version if you want. Keep DiyalaCore.pbo and objects.pbo and at least one of the terrain configs: DiyalaPatch.pbo DiyalaPalms.pbo DiyalaOlives.pbo REQUIRED ADDONS: Diyala Map https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=680808574 DOWNLOAD LINK: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2061233414

Hi everyone and happy new year! Introduction This is my first script in 2020. @Ori150418 posted a request about a marker searching system and this piqued my interest so I got to work. This script adds a searchable list with all markers to the right side of the map (see video below). Features Adds list with all markers Markers are searchable by their text Updates positions periodically Updates markers when opening the map Includes user made markers List is hideable Note: The performance might suffer in missions with a lot of markers. The example mission has a small test built into it which generates 100 markers randomly on the map. I'd appreciate feedback about the performance as I have a good enough system to not notice a difference. Usage Copy the file "fn_markersearch.sqf" to your mission directory Add the following line to your init.sqf/initPlayerLocal.sqf: ["init"] execVM "path\to\file\fn_markersearch.sqf" Video Downloads https://github.com/7erra/marker_search Have fun!

Hey, I'd like to know if someone here know where I could find GPS files (.kmz .mbtiles ...) for the most used maps especially Takistan & Takistan Mountains ? I need it for JTAC training and I can't find these on google or here. Thanks for reading me. Major

Hello, community! I have seen such a script, but I can't find it anywhere: - the player needs to complete multiple tasks; - he's debriefed by his HQ and must open a local map (EDEN item, placed on the map); - when he interacts with the map, a map is opened all over the screen; - all tasks are visible on this map as flags; - the flags' markers change its size (grow a little) when the mouse marker is pointing at them; - during this action a text with description is shown next to the current flag marked; - when you click on the flag, you will be teleported to the location; - I want to use the script on the VR map for testing and then move it to the mission's map; - I want another such map asset (item) to be temporary spawned next to me (near player's new location) after being teleported, so the player can go back to the HQ debriefing area, once the task is completed (the player will be allowed to do that only when it's finished /this is not a mandatory condition/). | The second possible variant is just another copy of the map item at the specific task location, but the condition with the task completed must be "true"; - I want the task to be activated, when the player is just spawned and teleported to the task's location, so I guess I will have to put a trigger there. Thanks for the help in advance! 🙂

Hello everyone, Its been about 3 years since I last made a map for Arma 3 and I am back working on a small project that I hope to release a working version on soon. The island information is below and I will upload a high-resolution satellite image later today for people to see the real world location. Here are the map details; Predicted Release: v1.0.0 - 1st July 2019 Map Name: Donousa Location: South Aegean Sea Size: 8km x 8km Highest point: 385m (1263ft) Climate: Hot, Dry and Generally Arid Population: 167 Civilian Locations: Capitol: Donousa Villages: Mersini (South East), Kalotaritissa (North) and Charavgi (South) Military Locations: Small checkpoints, one central base for a small garrison Road Types: Single Main Highway, Dirt Roads, Dirt Tracks, Footpaths Vegetation Types: Bushes, Trees, Low & Overgrown Grass Satellite Image: Link To Imgur

Hi guys, Here is a link to my → Basic Starter Kit ← to start personalizing your own Combat Patrol missions. Everything is include and parameters are defaulted as if it's regular Combat Patrol. Notice: There is not a single "difficulty" setting, it's a combination of different variables that sets the real difficulty, such as: The location/environment, assets (vehicles, etc), Size of the AO, Number of buildings in the AO, Number of units per enemy patrol, Number of tickets, The objective, Number of players playing, Number of available slots to join, etc. Getting Started Customizing Exporting for Multiplayer (MP) Play, Try and Host Bugs can occurs, it's Argo... just disconnect/reconnect. Hope you'll enjoy !!!

Hello, everyone! I have seen in different missions that when you open a task a specific location that you need to go to is marked and can be pointed on the map. It is in the description of the task and a square shows its exact location. How do I do that in Eden? Cheers! 🙂

I'm looking for a map with the following criteria: As large as possible. Only a single large town but other small settlements/villages are OK Only a single airfield but other smaller strips are OK. Preferably not desert. Preferably an island. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, now that i've seen some maps using tunnels, i thought i would make some models for that. These are divided into individual modules and can therefore realize "theoretically" infinitely long tunnels. In addition, there is a saving of resources, since Arma offers no models for such projects. End with eternal stacking of walls and blocks. Here is the first finished project (without MC texture). All models have at least -3 C-LODs -2 shadow LODs in addition comes the -Geometry -Geometry Phys -Roadway -Fire Geometry -View Geometry -Memory - LOD All models get their materials through the Multimats and are scaled differently depending on the LOD. The lowest poly is only textured by a combined _co map. Currently I am working on this tube. I hope I could leave a first, good impression.^^ If you are interested, suggestions or criticism you can contact me. https://steamcommunity.com/id/HGRaVeN103/ other thread

Version 1.03 Last Update and Release: 19.06.2019 Link to the SteamWorkshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=835257174 After nearly 2 years of creation, frustration internatl tests and changes i would like to present my little map to the public. ______________________ Update from 17.06.2019, Version 1.03: Update from 05.05.2019: Update from 21.05.2019: ______________________ The orginal location and inspiration for this mod: Rügen is Germany's largest island by area. It is located off the Pomeranian coast in the Baltic Sea and belongs to the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It is a very popular tourist destination because of its resort architecture, the diverse landscape, its long sandy beaches and the famous chalk cliffs. The island has a long diverse history and was a point of interest during World War II and after for different military projects and camps like Prora or a planned seaport for submarines. The mod-version: As this mod-island is only about 1/15 of its orginal size it sees many differences and adaptions. The original map is only taken as inspiration regarding locations and shape. D41_Ruegen is placed in the near future and set up as a location for prissoners to resocialize them (thats the reason for the huge walls on the borders). The intention was to create a diverser european map that offers lots of choke points for conflicts, many cities and locations that might be interessted for mission making, life-projects or survival situations. And i tried to make this map also usable for boats by offering many passways and shortcuts. Many other maps where either too big, too empty or too easy to cross offroads. This is why i tried to create a new mixture with a focus on infantry combat and the intention to make a relatively small map, that still feels big as you cant cross it in a straight direction. The areas vary from more civilised and rural locations on the south western part, to tourist locations on the eastern side to destroyed and barren locations in the northern regions. Some fights have been going on there (its up to you if this was because of zombies, rebelling prissoners or whatever). For even more rubble and wrecks check out the "Scorched" Version, also included in this mod. Facts about the map: Mapsize: 16.384m x 16.384m Gridsize: 4096 cells Cellsize: 4m SatMask: 16.384x16.384 Object-Counter: 542.018 Original size: about 65km x 65km Creation time: nearly 2 years (first creations began in january 2017) Relevant classnames: Vanilla Map: d41_ruegen Scorched Version: d41_ruegen_scorched Special features of this map: 3 airports/fields many passways for boats between the islands (might be even faster then going by car) tide-system with changes of the waterlevel up to 3m (lowest water at noon, highest at midnight), offering and closing some passages for cars and boats depending on the time some hidden locations and caves some military and rebell outposts (Polizeikaserne Parow, military airport in the north) throughout the map 2 castle ruins 1 prisson island with underground levels (might be good for roleplay, but AI has problems with that part) 1 highway crossing nearly the whole island for a fast travel but with reduced possiblity to get offroad crowded forests filled with bushes etc. to improve life and hiding of infantry Second Version of the island "Scorched" included in these files containing lots of additional wrecks etc. mainly for survival missions like exile etc. Screenshots from the map (and all the progress from the beginning on...): till 27.04.18: https://imgur.com/a/nWqjt from 27.04.2018 on: https://imgur.com/a/B0Myw3i These preview videos were created by MultiSasch.

So I'm working on a mission in which I would like the players to use the MicroDAGR and the Ctab tablet. Both of these devices count as (gps) terminals which enable both the side panels (I managed to find a solution to this) and the map (even when there is none in the inventory). I am not good with eventhandlers which I assume would be the prime candidates for this. Does anyone have ideas for a simple script that either prevents the player from opening the map itself or closing the map screen as soon as its opened?

MONTELLA TERRAIN MOD ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================ ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================ Hello everyone, Its been more than two yeard since I started this project and I think it is time to make it public and breathe a sigh of relief. I hope you will enjoy every piece of it, just like i did making it. The Terrain is inspired by a mountainous region in Campania (Italy) south of Naples, yes it’s not an island. The vibe is the same as in “Chernarus” but with a touch of Italian Culture. The map is a scale 1: 1 with the real areas (Parco Regionale Dei Monti Picentini - Irpinia). It is essentially a big valley between two large mountains “Verteglia” and “Laceno” both with their points of interest, towns and much more. The valley has 3 big towns: the most important “Montella”, then “Bagnoli” and “Cassano”, two of which have already been completed. Also, an entire section has been removed to create an area that actually does not exist in real life, the “Irpinian Sea”. Being a rural area there are not many roads that connect the town easily therefore you will have to cross rivers and ride on top of high cliffs and mountains. The map uses at its best the Arma 3 assets both the vanilla and the Tanoa ones also, we imported some from Arma 2 and other mods. Update: Terrain is still Work in Progress The terrain is now in a condition i feel many of you can consider "playable". This does not mean that the mod is completed or that it represent a finished product, it still is a Work In Progress. You can download the mod from the workshop here: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198053485750/myworkshopfiles/ Latest Video: - Map size is 10240x10240m - Grid size is 2048 cells - Cell size is 5m circa - Sat/Mask size is 15360px - Citys and Villages 6 - Airports 2 Completed Task: - Towns: “Montella” and “Cassano” with their surroundings. - All the areas covered by trees are completed. - 20 km of rivers. - Almost all of the roads are completed and connected. - Custom highway that joins the two sides of the map. - Custom handmade “satellite map”. - Custom “mask map”. - All configs are written and ready. - A test server with a Custom made Exile Mission is fully functional. To do list: - Second largest city “Bagnoli”. - Small city on “Laceno”. - Harbor and its surroundings. - Fields and houses to fill the areas between each town. - A lot of small adjustments in cities like light-poles benches garbage’s bin and many other small details. ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================ I regularly post updates on my twitter and my YouTube channel and sometimes Stream at: https://twitter.com/MontellaTerrain https://www.youtube.com/user/avatar1924 https://www.twitch.tv/mistermark My Workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198053485750/myworkshopfiles/ If you want to contribute and help with the project you are welcome to Support the Team at: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=22T9PSBBVQD2U

Hi all, I have trouble with waypoints, and paths between them, appearing on map after unidentified circumstances. I'm playing in MP from editor (testing before public release). These tracks/waypoints concern the playable group only. But... My game is configured for never show waypoints (difficulty settings). No specific HUD command; I placed a respawn revive system from 3den and mission event Handlers entityKilled entityRespawned but for loadout considerations, not related to waypoints; I don't have any script for waypoints on players' group; The only clue I have right now is that starts with some dead (player or AI's group?) then a handover to another leader for the group (Arma's engine shifts leader when leader is unconscious or dead-respawn). These waypoints/tracks seem to be the intended path for the group, calculated by the Arma engine, and weirdly revealed on map for a killed/respawned reason? of the current leader? (may be). Thanks for any experience about that. If a BI dev could read and reply to this post... Keep fun.

I am making mission where the players don't know where on the map they are starting from. Disabling the center map on player function was easy enough. However there is another problem. Both in the mission briefing screen and after the mission start when the player opens his map for the first time the map starts zoomed in and centered on the player's location. Is there any way of preventing this, like having the map camera focused on an invisible marker somewhere? Any tips will be appreciated.

I noticed that for any of the maps where the vertical scale on the left increases from top to bottom (instead of the default bottom to top), like for example on any of the Chenarus and Sahrani maps, that there is a glitch with the coordinates. The zoomed in coordinates do not match those when zoomed out. To reproduce, open the map United Sahrani and zoom out until the contour interval changes from 10m to 20m. Place your cursor so that the cursor horizontal line is in line with one of the 2 digits on the left (example 10 in line with the town of Paraiso). So that horizontal should correspond to 100 if I convert to a 3 digit reference. Now zoom in one step closer without adjusting the position of your mouse, so that the contour interval changes from 20m to 10m. You will see on the left is now indicated 109, instead of 100 !!! Put in another way, if someone is given a 6 digit grid coordinate on this map, for example 075 095, but they found this coordinate while they were zoomed out to 20m contour inerval, then if the person who is plotting that coordinate is zoomed in to 10m contour interval and they plot that position, they will incorrect by 1km to the North. Before replying with angry rants - just do a test yourselves on Chenarus and Sahrani and any other maps where the coordinates do not increase from top to bottom, and left to right (the positive xy quadrant on a Cartesian coordinate system).

INFORMATION The terrain is 400km^2 (20kmx20km) big and is a true to scale recreation of the Senkaku Islands. Mask/Sat: 16384x16384 Height: 4096x4096px (5px/m) In my mind, the map is best suited for small carrier operations in cooperation with amphibious warfare. It might also be interesting to people that are playing with the HAFM Navy mod, I will try to improve the underwater terrain in the future. Most people should be able to play on this map with full view distance without any performance problems. REAL LOCATION This map is a recreation of the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea. I tried to get as close to the real location as possible, but did take minor artistic liberties to make the map just a little bit more interesting (Added a radar station; moved Kuba Jima a little south to make it fit on the map) https://www.google.com/maps/@25.7558356,123.531659,11812m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=de Information on the dispute from Japan´s perspective: https://www.mofa.go.jp/region/asia-paci/senkaku/qa_1010.html CREDITS Fromz with his Diaoyu Islands terrain that gave me the inspiration to give the area a workover.

There's probably an easy fix, but I don't get it. I have a mission where the guys are searching for some UAVs and UGVs. The problem is, the UAV/UGVs are showing on map (even with show/hide module). How do I fix it? I've checked that when I place them, they have no crew. I also want to have "Show friendlies on map" on.

Hi guys! I'm trying to replace the map by a custom image whenever players open their map. What I have so far allows me to create the pic when the map is opened and works, but the trouble is it is shown over every other layer, while what I'd like to do would be to place it just above the map, but behind everything else so that players can see everything else, (tasks, briefing etc.). Any insight will be greatly appreciated. Here's what I have so far: findDisplay 46 displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", { if (inputAction "showMap" >0) then { _x = -0.00531249 * safezoneW + safezoneX; _y = -0.00399999 * safezoneH + safezoneY; _w = 1.01063 * safezoneW; _h = 1.008 * safezoneH; _ctrl = findDisplay 12 ctrlCreate ["rscPicture", 1000]; _ctrl ctrlSetPosition [_x,_y,_w,_h]; _ctrl ctrlSetText "media\img\splashscreen1.paa"; _ctrl ctrlCommit 0; }; }];

Jasło is located in south - eastern Poland, in Carpathian mountains. It is modelled after the real place, although it will be modified for gameplay sake :) The terrain is being created as an addition to PSZ: Polish Armed Forces modification The map itself is 64 square kilometers (8,192 m x 8,192 m), with 4 m cell. It includes one big city, Jasło (already done!), located in a valley where three rivers flow. Yup, three rivers - better storm those bridges or prepare your fording equipment if you want to get anywhere. It is currently in early alpha stage and undergoes closed tests :) There are also several smaller villages (TBD), and wide forest areas (more or less done). The map will offer varied enivronment for different missions. It currently utilizes CUP objects, but we intend to prepare our own building pack, to make it more varied and to add this central Europe atmosphere instead of generic CUP-city :) DOWNLOAD: Steam Download Less talking, more screens:

At first tried to change locaction names (or their font) for map control in the description.ext. Seems impossible, as far, I can tell. Location names properties seem to be defined in the CfgLocationTypes, and these are chosen in the "Names" subclass of given map class. So, as a plan B, I'm looking for a way to hide these names instead. Is that possible in the description.ext (RscMapControl config)?
