Hello, i want to edit Altis, and it would interest me very much how close in the future the source files are available.

I'm trying to start mission on server of our clan but every time I get CAData error in log: Warning Message: 15:02:10 Warning Message: Addon 'A3_Map_dingor' requires addon 'CAData' So... can you help me solve this? What should I reinstall or download on server? SOLVED: Lingor+Dingor addon wasn't up to date.

Problem is that even though players can select the respawn position (using Respawn Position module) upon entering the server, they are are spawning on map edge instead. I've used this method successfully in other ops and cannot see what could be causing this. Respawn Position settings Type: Infantry Side: Blufor Show to: Only the side Notification: Disabled //Description.ext respawn = "BASE"; respawnButton = 1; respawnDelay = 5; disabledAI = 1; respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuPosition","Spectator"};

As it stands right now the way the map operates can be pretty deadly, especially if you did not set a waypoint to the exits before grabbing loot, a crate, and/or something else, since opening it stops you from moving completely. I've noticed a lot of my friends I made get the game have been complaining quite a bit about it. I think my proposed control scheme would be a good middle ground because it doesn’t involve adding any new functionality, but instead just switches around some of the inputs from the controller and leaves completely free one of the directions on the D-Pad for gestures or other usage. Proposed New Map Control Scheme - Left On D-Pad: Opens/Closes Map Up & Down On D-Pad : Zooms In/Out Left Analog Stick: Remains Controlling Character Movement Right Analog Stick: Controls Map Crosshair Y Button: Focus On Character Location A Button: Place/Remove Marker

Hello, i'm very newbie at scripting and stuff i wanna make some kind of CAS/Arty ordenance by pointing at the target (By binoculars for ex) or by putting the Mouse on the map i wonder if there is a function or a way to get that working, i know it exists cuz for example at the Campaign there is a mission when you point at the target or use the map to request mortar fire thanks in advance

So I want to use markers that are linked to playable characters. My players will be playing characters that live in certain places or know certain things from the start of the mission. They have the ability to choose what kind of character they want to play out of a multitude of characters. However since I have multiple choises of character for the players I do not wish them to know the markers of the characters that are not being played. So how am I able to link these markers to the characters and only let them be show when a character is being controller by a player. TLDR: How do I link a marker to a unit that only shows up when a player is controlling that unit. But the marker has to be visible to everyone.

In the TerrainBuilder everything looks fine but as soon as I get into the Buldozer I get an error message and cant see any textures. If you need any more screenshots or informations pls contact me

I want to restrict a area for my player to play in on Altis i want to make a Infantry Game and i want to stop players to use the hole island to run around on. does anyone know if it can be done. i have tried with 4 triggers so if you walk/run inside them you die, but i want to make it so you get a warning and will be told to turn around or you die. // Play3r

Hi, how do i decompile the original files from arma 2 texture? if i cant do that, how can i decompile a reskin texture? http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?game=1&cat=addons&id=1033 like this skin

Does anyone know , how to delete the coordinates , and the red lines , that show your location on map? (the red letters and the red lines) 036038 32m Thanks!

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: - Object count (up to February 2018) is 2.321.126 - 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

First Arctic Map release. WIP http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1283141322

BACKGROUND: It is in the French colony of Oubangui-Chari , that on October 5, 1910, is instituted the constituency of Kandjia-Kouango, with Bambari for chief town. July 31, 1912, it becomes constituency of Kouango, then in 1918 it takes the name banda of Ouaka. In July 1918 , the colonial administrator Félix Éboué was stationed in Bambari, he ran the district for three years until July 1921 2 . The administrative reform of November 15, 1934, establishes the vast Department of Oubangui-Ouaka which includes Mobaye , Fort-Sibut and Fort-Crampel . After the second world war, October 16, 1946, the region of Ouaka-Kotto is created of which Bambari remains the chief town. In 1950 , the region of Ouaka-Kotto is divided in two: between most of the region which becomes Ouaka and the south-west part which becomes the region of Lower Kotto with Mobaye as its capital . The region of Ouaka becomes the prefecture of Ouaka after independence. CURRENT TIMES: Ouaka is nowdays the center of the armed crisis in CAR (Central African Republic), the region is much rich like the rest of the country. Hundreds of peoples have left their homes because of the ongoing conflict. PROJECT: The map don't recreate 100% off the region, some places are ficticional or have something altered for gameplay purposes. The map is 67.1 km². PICTURES:

Hello my boys, im searching some recent tutorial of how to create easily an arma 3 map from nothing. Sorry for my bad english (lol) and greetings to pole message.

Hi guys! Like last year around this time I announced my jungle, PKL, this year is no different.. Some of you have followed my experiments the last few years in creating some terrains from my homelands without being able to make publishable results. My goal is to recreate the environment I see if I go 1 hour east of my hometown into the mountains. I have finally found some suitable map frame specs and a location that is interesting and unique enough to make it worth my time and effort completing. That in addition to the multitude of problems with seriously aging game engine technology and Arma specific limitations in RV has me finally landing on the following: This is VIDDA: 12x12km with 3m cel size (terrain detail) Norwegian mountain tundra in the summer. Altitude varies from 800-1200 meters. Almost the entire terrain is above tree limit altitude but some spread small forest areas are added to the lowest valleys for gameplay options.(subject to change as custom veg is decided upon) Midnight sun because above the polar circle. (Locals should approve :)) 1 Village with most facilities 1 Border crossing 1 military base with long runway More info: Though it has snow, this terrain is set in the summer. The area looks like this from october to march. If it was a winter terrain, roads would look like this. Even in the spring it can be a chore to keep roads open. Some times a LOT of the snow sticks around for the summer. You can go skiing all year round and when the sun is shining you can wear a tshirt and pick flowers next to the snow. If you are into that sort of thing. The terrain itself is imported from LIDAR scans but heavily altered proportionally to conform to Arma limitations and to maintain expected funcitonality, mainly regarding AI. It has been scaled down slightly in area and significantly vertically.. Nobody likes ai tanks driving down vertical cliffs 500m tall right? Or Howabout when AI choppers fly into a cliff for no reason? The snow on the terrain is of the kind that will stay all through the year and is practically ice in terms of interacting with it. Hit one of them with a vehicle and the vehicle will be affected more than the snow pile. This is authentic. 3m cel size allows for nice snow piles being formed and tactical possibilities with them are endless. Hulldown vehicles, hiding infantry, sneaking up on the enemy and the tactical possibilities with using terrain detail to your advantage are the same as on PKL. In the actual terrains, there are very few structures and only one road. It is from a national park area. For Arma fun reasons, I've added pretty much everything required on a terrain however. This being much easier to do than recreating a settled area. This means that every area that would be a big pond or a smal lake, have been transformed into settlements or other industrial are/mil installation. In my older Norway terrain attemps, Not having placeable water above sea level has been one of my biggest headaches as water is vital in an area defined by it. Small bodies of water are on the way however as the community has come up with some solutions to that. The terrain coordinates have been placed a few degrees further north to accentuate the arctic lighting. Currently working on rewriting lighting configs.. more on that later. The first public iteration of the terrain will be up on my workshop before spring. After that it will follow a cycle similar to PKL, as they alternate in priority. Gameplay wise you can expect pretty much the same as my second favourite map ever, Takistan but with mountain vegetation and snow patches instead of sand. With a similar feel and enough terrain detail to accurately recreate the actual terrain I grew up in.. It takes More than half an hour to drive the main road within speed limits from end to end and an AI in a hatchback does it in 15-18 minutes if his waypoint is set to fastest. Ai perfectly navigate via roads from end to end of the terrain with single waypoints. Technically the terrain is playable as it is currently, but I need to add a few layers of vegetation, rocks and other objects (as many custom as possible becuase native plants, geology etc) before a release to the public. All of the objects also need to be appended to terrain masks and imagery too. I will post pics and info updates in here as I go. For more up to date stuff, you can find me on twitter. Happy New Year! More coming shortly! Daytime. Midnight sun. View from one of the highest peaks. Midnight sun Outside terrain matches the mountains as much as possible to enhance jet gameplay. It sort of makes the terrain feel vast when you are at altitude. This done instead of coastline as coastline would remove at least 1/3 of the map frame due to procedural terrain and the look didn't work. There are enough islands out there with mountains. The north eastern part of the terrain by the old soviet border crossing has mostly flat tundra that can allow you to build airstrips or outside the map staging areas for larger scale ops. Enough area is left outside the border fence that improvised strips can be placed there aswell but still within a narrow strip of the mapframe (compatibility with ALiVE etc). In the videos below, there are 100s of ai and over 50 ai vehicles going about their day. 8km view range and 2.5km objects. MEDIA: My new years resolution, white lie, pinkypromise thing is to release this terrain to the public asap.

I'm in a process of converting my "Podolsk city, district #4 (in Russian: Подольск, микрорайон 4)" template into terrain format. And making new models for some of the huge buildings which were previously made out of many separate objects. Never done 3D modeling or Arma terrain building before, so the process will take a lot of time. So far I've made a first version of one of the houses and also a model of an authentic fence: Before the release I plan to make 3 more houses and school. After that I want to try make them enterable. I'm also continuing to polish object placement, a lot of them were added to the scene after the template's release. It's nice to live in an area you're modeling lol.

Hi, I've been trying to make gameplay more realistic recently and map markers have been making this hard since anybody in the channel that you select can see the markers. I have restricted most channels in the description.ext and left group channel as it is probably the best option for this but that still means that everybody in the group that you are in can see the markers, even if they die and are half way across the map. I can't seem to find a way to add direct to the list of available channels. I would like to be able to place map markers in direct channel or in a similar way to the pointing mechanic so only people near me could see the markers placed. I have been googling and searching the forums for a few hours now with no luck, any help would be appriciated. Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone. I would like to ask if there is anyone here who knows how you can expand your current terrain. What I mean by this is that I currently have a sat, a mask, normal and terrain.xyz and I want to expand so that I get further terrain to work with (expanding it basicly, adding, more specificly, increase it by 4 times. Thank your for taking your time to read this. //Cookies

Hi all, If you used to play on Kunduz, Afghanistan map, you remarked the doors of any building are not active. Here is a simple code to add in initPlayerLocal.sqf to make them work. (Create it in mission root if missing) if (modParams ["@Kunduz, Afghanistan", ["active"]] param [0,false]) then { inGameUISetEventHandler ["action"," private _intersects = []; if (_this select 4 == 'Close Door' or _this select 4 == 'Close Window') then { _anims = 'true' configClasses (configfile >> 'CfgVehicles' >> typeof cursorObject >> 'AnimationSources') apply {configName _x}; { _intersects = ([cursorObject, _x] intersect [ASLToATL eyepos player, (screentoworld [0.5,0.5])]); if (count (_intersects select 0) > 0) exitwith {_intersects} } forEach ['VIEW','GEOM','FIRE']; if (count _intersects > 0) then { _select_door = (_intersects select 0) select 0; { if (count _anims > 0 && {[_select_door,_x] call Bis_fnc_inString}) exitWith { cursorObject animateSource [_x, 0];true}; false } forEach _anims; }; }; if (_this select 4 == 'Open Door' or _this select 4 == 'Open Window') then { _anims = 'true' configClasses (configfile >> 'CfgVehicles' >> typeof cursorObject >> 'AnimationSources') apply {configName _x}; { _intersects = ([cursorObject, _x] intersect [ASLToATL eyepos player, (screentoworld [0.5,0.5])]); if (count (_intersects select 0) > 0) exitwith {_intersects} } forEach ['VIEW','GEOM','FIRE']; if (count _intersects > 0) then { _select_door = (_intersects select 0) select 0; { if (count _anims > 0 && {[_select_door,_x] call Bis_fnc_inString}) exitWith { cursorObject animateSource [_x, 1];true};false } forEach _anims; }; }; "]; }; Have fun on this beautiful map.

Hey guys, each day you want to learn something more. I think its time to go further into Dialog editing. What I want to do is, I want to have a simple Dialog where in the middle will be a map (which you can move and everything). On this map I want to have clickable/selectable "Marker". When the marker is selected, you then press on a button and will be teleported to that position. So its basically a MHQ script. What I also want to do is, having the teleport option only work when the vehicle is alive and not moving. My biggest problem right now is though, that I have no clue how to get the map and the selectable marker. Anybody have an Idea how I could do that? Thanks so far. If you have any further questions, just ask! Many greetings Moony

hi all, i'm actually develloping a terrain for arma 3 and my ground textures are like this: https://prnt.sc/h3vqcq , how to fix this please ? thanks all :)

I would like a marker to disappear when the objective is completed. Using setMarkerAlpha does not work.

So I've been struggling for a long time with this problem mentioned in the title. I have made several maps in the past year and followed the same Atlas guide throughout all of them. Not once has the clutter shown up. I'm getting really frustrated because there doesn't seem to be a universal fix for this problem, and it seems like everybody's error is unique. This my first time posting and have no idea how things work around here so please be gentle. Please excuse my English, it's my second language. cfgSurfaces class CfgSurfaces { class Default {}; class del_deathland_dry_grass_Surface : Default { files = "del_deathland_dry_grass_*"; rough = 0.08; maxSpeedCoef = 0.9; dust = 0.75; soundEnviron = "drygrass"; character = "del_deathland_dry_grass_Character"; soundHit = "soft_ground"; lucidity = 2; grassCover = 0.99; }; class del_deathland_soil_Surface : Default { files = "del_deathland_soil_*"; rough = 0.09; maxSpeedCoef = 0.9; dust = 0.5; soundEnviron = "dirt"; character = "Empty"; soundHit = "hard_ground"; lucidity = 1; grassCover = 0.0; }; class del_deathland_Concrete_Surface : Default { files = "del_deathland_Concrete_*"; rough = 0.09; maxSpeedCoef = 0.9; dust = 0.1; soundEnviron = "dirt"; character = "Empty"; soundHit = "hard_ground"; lucidity = 1; grassCover = 0.0; }; }; class CfgSurfaceCharacters { class del_deathland_dry_grass_Character { probability[] = {0.21,0.35,0.21,0.09,0.06,0.02}; names[] = {"del_deathland_GrassDryGroup","del_deathland_GrassDryMediumgroup","del_deathland_WeedBrownTallGroup","del_deathland_WeedGreenTall","del_deathland_ThistleYellowShrub","del_deathland_PlantMullein"}; }; class del_deathland_Soil_Character { probability[] = {0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0}; names[] = {"del_deathland_BigFallenBranches_pine","del_deathland_BigFallenBranches_pine02","del_deathland_BigFallenBranches_pine03","del_deathland_GrassDryGroup","del_deathland_GrassGreenGroup"}; }; class del_deathland_Concrete_Character { probability[] = {0.0,0.00}; names[] = {"del_deathland_GrassGreenGroup","del_deathland_FlowerLowYellow2"}; }; }; cfgClutter class Clutter { class del_deathland_GrassGreenGroup: DefaultClutter { model = "A3\plants_f\Clutter\c_StrGrassGreen_group.p3d"; affectedByWind = 0.6; swLighting = "true"; scaleMin = 0.7; scaleMax = 1.0; }; class del_deathland_GrassDry: DefaultClutter { model = "A3\plants_f\Clutter\c_StrGrassDry.p3d"; affectedByWind = 0.5; swLighting = "true"; scaleMin = 0.8; scaleMax = 1.2; }; class del_deathland_GrassDryGroup: DefaultClutter { model = "A3\plants_f\Clutter\c_StrGrassDry_group.p3d"; affectedByWind = 0.65; swLighting = "true"; scaleMin = 0.65; scaleMax = 1.0; }; class del_deathland_GrassDryMediumGroup: DefaultClutter { model = "A3\plants_f\Clutter\c_StrGrassDryMedium_group.p3d"; affectedByWind = 0.7; swLighting = "true"; scaleMin = 0.8; scaleMax = 1.0; }; class del_deathland_WeedBrownTallGroup: DefaultClutter { model = "A3\plants_f\Clutter\c_StrWeedBrownTall_group.p3d"; affectedByWind = 0.3; swLighting = "true"; scaleMin = 0.9; scaleMax = 1.25; }; class del_deathland_WeedGreenTall: DefaultClutter { model = "A3\plants_f\Clutter\c_StrWeedGreenTall.p3d"; affectedByWind = 0.3; swLighting = "true"; scaleMin = 0.8; scaleMax = 1.2; }; class del_deathland_PlantMullein: DefaultClutter { model = "A3\plants_f\Clutter\c_StrPlantMullein.p3d"; affectedByWind = 0.35; swLighting = "true"; scaleMin = 0.7; scaleMax = 1.15; }; class del_deathland_ThistleYellowShrub: DefaultClutter { model = "A3\plants_f\Clutter\c_StrThistleYellowShrub.p3d"; affectedByWind = 0.2; swLighting = "true"; scaleMin = 0.7; scaleMax = 1.1; }; class del_deathland_ThistleThornGreen: DefaultClutter { model = "A3\plants_f\Clutter\c_Thistle_Thorn_Green.p3d"; affectedByWind = 0.3; swLighting = "false"; scaleMin = 0.3; scaleMax = 1.0; }; class del_deathland_ThistleThornGreenSmall: DefaultClutter { model = "A3\plants_f\Clutter\c_Thistle_Thorn_Green.p3d"; affectedByWind = 0.25; swLighting = "false"; scaleMin = 0.4; scaleMax = 0.7; }; class del_deathland_FlowerLowYellow2: DefaultClutter { model = "A3\plants_f\Clutter\c_Flower_Low_Yellow2.p3d"; affectedByWind = 0.4; swLighting = "true"; scaleMin = 0.6; scaleMax = 1.0; }; class del_deathland_BigFallenBranches_pine: DefaultClutter { model = "A3\Plants_F\Clutter\c_bigFallenBranches_pine.p3d"; affectedByWind = 0.0; swLighting = "false"; scaleMin = 0.3; scaleMax = 0.7; }; class del_deathland_BigFallenBranches_pine02: DefaultClutter { model = "A3\Plants_F\Clutter\c_bigFallenBranches_pine02.p3d"; affectedByWind = 0.0; swLighting = "false"; scaleMin = 0.3; scaleMax = 0.7; }; class del_deathland_BigFallenBranches_pine03: DefaultClutter { model = "A3\Plants_F\Clutter\c_bigFallenBranches_pine03.p3d"; affectedByWind = 0.0; swLighting = "false"; scaleMin = 0.3; scaleMax = 0.7; }; }; Layers class Layers { class del_deathland_dry_grass { texture = #(rgb,1,1,1)color(0.5,0.5,0.5,1,cdt); material = "DEL\del_deathland\data\del_deathland_dry_grass.rvmat"; }; class del_deathland_soil { texture = #(rgb,1,1,1)color(0.5,0.5,0.5,1,cdt); material = "DEL\del_deathland\data\del_deathland_soil.rvmat"; }; class del_deathland_Concrete { texture = #(rgb,1,1,1)color(0.5,0.5,0.5,1,cdt); material = "DEL\del_deathland\data\del_deathland_Concrete.rvmat"; }; }; class Legend { picture="DEL\del_deathland\source\mapLegend.png"; class Colors { del_deathland_dry_grass[]={{255,255,0}}; del_deathland_soil[]={{0,0,255}}; del_deathland_Concrete[]={{0,255,0}}; }; };

Hello, is there a digital map of Malden available or are there plans to do so? In the usual place ( ..\Arma 3\Bonus\Maps ) I still find only the maps of Stratis and Tanoa. Regards M.

Made a few vanilla missions (with DLCs) where im using object ID's to have my players interact with certain objects native to the map. My problem is that with pretty much every update where the maps have been "polished" in some way or had more objects added to them - the object ID's change and their numbers are scewed with a few digits. This ofc fucks over my mission i a severely bad way - as triggers and events depending on said object having the correct ID - suddenly wont work, as the objects ID has changed. So "blowing up" said object - wont activate the trigger, as the object now has a different ID than what the trigger is waiting for. Please fix this - as i've spent ages on making these missions which i was about to publish on steam workshop. Now however, after discovering this - it seems there is no point in publishing the missions, as they will only work up until the next time an update on the map is put into play. The big question for my sake is, why does old objects need to get new ID's when new objects are added or old ones removed? Having this happen really fucks stuff up for me as a mission creator (now that i finally figured out how to use native objects on the map as part of my missions). *sadface* //Ulfgaar
