This topic is a practical and objective step-by-step for new Reforger Editors who are coming in. After here, you will be ready to explore your creativity through the World Editor tool much more painlessly instead of going around in circles, trying for hours to make your mission run properly. Feel free to suggest updates, tweaks, and improvements around the tutorial below. Most recent tutorial update: 2024 Sep 18th SUMMARY Installation Project Setup Coop Mission Features Mission Creation (skipped) Final Touch & Publishing More Details - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1) INSTALLATION About this chapter: Just once needed by PC. On Steam, install Arma Reforger Tools and open it; In Enfusion Workbench Launcher, click on Add Project and, after that, on Add Existing Project; Go to your Arma Reforger folder in the Steam folder, and open the ArmaReforger.gproj file; Steam path example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger\addons\data\ 2) PROJECT SETUP About this chapter: Just once by Campaign/Lone mission project. In Enfusion Workbench Launcher, click on Add Project and, after that, on Create New Project; Give a project name and select the location where the mission files will be allocated. Recommended: pick a custom location where you have more control of your backups; Open your recently created project and welcome to the Enfusion Workbench interface; In the Resource Browser left column, select your project folder based on your project's name chosen; On the same place as the addon.gproj file, with right-click or through the Create button, create the folders "Worlds", "Missions", and "Images"; Now, open the World Editor somewhere on the Enfusion Workbench interface; On the World Editor, click Load World and select the base world (map) you want to use for your mission. Examples: ArmaReforger > worlds > Arland > Arland.ent ArmaReforger > worlds > Eden > Eden.ent After the map is loaded on the screen, click Create New World and select Sub-Scene; After the loading, save it in <YourProjectFolder>/Worlds/here_name_of_my_mission_without_spaces_and_special_characters; 3) COOP MISSION FEATURES About this chapter: for each mission inside your project. Very basic: Double-click over the "default" layer shown in the Hierarchy area, and select through the top menu the option Plugins > Game Mode Setup; Make sure the template selected is ScenarioFramework.conf, and press the Next, and Scan World buttons; No worries about the Missing Entities list. This is expected. Just go forward, click on Next again, and then Create entities; A new list is shown with other entities to check. Just press Re-scan and after that, Next; Now, let's create your mission header file: press Create header; Click over "Yes to All" for that Script Authorization Required pop-up. Click Next too, and finally Close button; Probably your Mission Header will be opened on the screen. If so, you can close it or fill in the fields with what you already got; Recommended: uncheck the Override Scenario Time And Weather. Remember these tips: Coop/PvE missions in Arma Reforger are called Combat Ops; In the World Editor: If you need to find an object/entity/asset listed in the Hierarchy area, select the element and press the "F" key to fast travel to the object position on the map; It's highly recommended you create new layers in the Hierarchy area to smart organization and prevent erasing things accidentally: using the layer lock option; Always double-click over the layer you are working on to send the new things to the right layer; AI improvement: If the selected world is not a custom one, delete the SCR_AIWorld, replacing it with a specialized AI with the world's name in the script (SCR) AI name, e.g. SCR_AIWorld_Arland if you are using Arland world. To find the options, use the Resource Browser right below the 3D viewer; Important: if you get an error message, no worries, click on Retry or just Esc it and check if the new AIWorld is in the Hierarchy area. If not, try again; Now, just for this example purposes, I'm assuming you selected Arland World. That said, in the Hierarchy area, click over your SCR_AIWorld_Arland; You'll see through the Object Properties area three components called NavmeshWorldComponent. Click on the first one: On Navmesh Settings > Navmesh Files Config > Navmesh File, configure it with: ArmaReforger > worlds > MP > Navmeshes > Coop_CombatOps_Arland.nmn or that related to your map choice; To finish this AI improvement, go to the third/last NavmeshWorldComponent listed initially; On Navmesh Settings > Navmesh Files Config, configure the Navmesh File with the option (click on "..." symbol): ArmaReforger > worlds > MP > Navmeshes > LowResArland.nmn or that related to your map choice; Spawns & Player Loadouts: Important: if you start the chapter section, don't run your mission without completing the whole thing, otherwise errors will come to you on the screen; In the World Editor window, look to the Hierarchy area, click over the GameModeSF and, going over its properties area, select the SCR_BaseGameMode. In the Game Mode area: Uncheck Auto Player Respawn if you wanna prevent dead players to respawn automatically; If the players are still respawning, you can create a trigger that deletes the spawn point after all players spawn for the very first time; Uncheck Allow Faction Change if you wanna prevent players from changing their faction if more than one is playable; Check Use Spawn Preload; Let's define the playable faction(s) and their loadouts: If you won't build a US vs USSR mission, or you just want full control over the factions, delete the FactionManager_USxUSSR and the LoadoutManager_USxUSSR, both in the Hierarchy area; Through Resource Browser, look for FactionManager_Editor.et, and bring it somewhere on the map; Make the same with LoadoutManager_Base.et, bringing it on the map; Click over your FactionManager_Editor already in the Hierarchy area, and over SCR_FactionManager in its Object Properties, open each of SCR_Faction: Check the Is Playable box for that faction you want the players to use; If you don't want to see players changing their factions by another playable one, uncheck Can Change Faction playable; Click over your LoadoutManager_Base already in the Hierarchy area, and over SCR_LoadoutManager in its Object Properties: In the Loadout Manager area, click to add at least one Player loadout by clicking over the plus (+) button and selecting SCR_FactionPlayerLoadout; For each loadout added, set a unique role name (e.g. Squad Leader); In Loadout Resource, click over the "..." and select one of these examples specific to Squad Leader: ArmaReforger > Prefabs > Characters > Factions > BLUFOR > US_Army > Character_US_SL.et ArmaReforger > Prefabs > Characters > Factions > OPFOR > USSR_Army > Character_USSR_SL.et ArmaReforger > Prefabs > Characters > Factions > INDFOR > FIA > Character_FIA_SL.et In Loadout Image, click over the "..." and select one of these examples specific to Squad Leader: ArmaReforger > UI > Textures > EditorPreviews > Characters > BLUFOR > US_Army > Character_US_SL.edds ArmaReforger > UI > Textures > EditorPreviews > Characters > OPFOR > USSR_Army > Character_USSR_SL.edds ArmaReforger > UI > Textures > EditorPreviews > Characters > INDFOR > FIA > Character_FIA_SL.edds In Affiliated Faction, type one of these options: US, USSR, or FIA; Let's create the player's spawn points: In Resource Browser, search for the faction spawn you want to (examples below), and drag and drop it over the exact spot on the world you want that faction spawn; ArmaReforger > Prefabs > MP > Spawning > SpawnPoint_US.et; ArmaReforger > Prefabs > MP > Spawning > SpawnPoint_USSR.et; ArmaReforger > Prefabs > MP > Spawning > SpawnPoint_FIA.et; Through the Hierarchy area, select your new SpawnPoint and go to SCR_SpawnPoint in the Object Properties area; Verify if the default settings fit as you need; Still in the Object Properties, click over SCR_MapDescriptorComponent; In the Main Type field, set Spawnpoint; In the Unit Type field, set Infantry; In the Faction field, set the faction index (single number) must spawn there (by default: US=0; USSR=1; FIA=2) Important: to confirm the faction index, go to your FactionManager, click on the SCR_FactionManager, and check which number is in the Order field; Save your mission and run it by clicking on the green play button to make sure everything is happening exactly as you want; Important: if you are facing some error on the screen, close all Reforger tools, re-open them, and check each step from this part of the chapter; Including the Screen to Select Squads & Loadouts available: In the Hierarchy area, click over the GameModeSF and, going over its properties area, find the SCR_RespawnSystemComponent component; In the Spawn Logic option, right-click over SCR_AutoSpawnLogic, select Change Class, and after that change it to SCR_MenuSpawnLogic; Save and run your mission to see the new screen before the mission starts. [OPTIONAL] Including the Mission Briefing Screen: In the Resource Browser window, make sure you already cleaned the search field, and go to the folder Arma Reforger > Configs > Journal; Over the Journal folder, right-click and select Transfer to <your project folder>; A popup window will be shown, uncheck all options, but Journal_CO_Arland.conf (don't worry if you are using another world, we need just the file model); Go to the Enfusion Workbench window, and verify if a copy of the Config folder structure now belongs to your project too; If the transference didn't send the Journal_CO_Arland.conf file to your mission (bug in v.1.1.0.42), do it manually: Still in the Resouce Browser of the Enfusion Workbench window, go to ArmaReforger > Configs > Journal; Over the Journal_CO_Arland.conf, right-click and Duplicate to <yourProjectName>; Open your journal/briefing file and, if it's not for the US faction players, change for the correct one through the Faction Key field (e.g. FIA or USSR); Don't forget to edit this file with your mission information now or later; Back to the World Editor window, in GameModeSF properties, click on the Add Component button, and add the option SCR_EditorRespawnBriefingComponent; Look for the Journal Config Path option, and find through that field the path to your mission journal (briefing); In the Info field, click on Set Class and select the option called SCR_UIInfo; Save the project and run the mission to check if it's working fine; Supplies, Electricity & Other Resources: In the World Editor window, look to the Hierarchy area, click over the GameModeSF and, going over its properties area, select the SCR_BaseGameMode. In the Game Mode area: If you don't want to use supply costs management when an arsenal is added, go to the Disabled Resource Types, and add Supplies; Electricity grid (soon with Reforger's next major update); Logic of hostilities: In Arma Reforger, by default, all factions are enemies of each other. If you need to change it: Click over your FactionManager_Editor already in the Hierarchy area, and over SCR_FactionManager in its Object Properties; In Factions, pick up one through SCR_Faction options, go to the Friendly Factions Ids field, and set who is friendly for that faction, using the id's US, USSR, or FIA. Below are some logical results: If US is friendly with FIA, automatically both are enemies of USSR; If US is friendly with USSR, automatically both are enemies of FIA; If US is friendly with FIA and USSR, automatically FIA and USSR are enemies to each other; [OPTIONAL] Preparing AI to Use the Dynamic Spawn/Despawn: For Coop/PvE/CombatOps mission, in the Hierarchy area, select GameModeSF; In its Object Properties area, click on SCR_GameModeSFManager, right-click over it and, after that, Change Class; Select SCR_GameModeCombatOpsManager and turn on the Dynamic Despawn; 4) MISSION CREATION About this chapter: for each mission inside your project. Now, explore your creativity and ability to make your mission true. Set units, compositions, waypoints, etc. A good quick start is here in the official basic guide. 5) FINAL TOUCH & PUBLISHING About this chapter: for each mission inside your project. [OPTIONAL] Customizing the Squads' Sizes and Names: If you want two or more squads available for a player faction, in your FactionManager, go to the SCR_FactionManager in its Object Properties, after that in Factions and the specific SCR_Faction you want to custom; Find the option called Create Only Predefined Groups and check its checkbox; After that, in Predefined Groups, click on the plus (+) button to create one custom player squad for the faction; All you need to do is set the number of slots that will be available for players in this specific squad through the Group Size field; [OPTIONAL] Customizing the Player Loadouts: Soon... [OPTIONAL] Adding Markers on the Map: In the World Editor, and through the Resource Browser area, go to ArmaReforger > Prefabs > ScenarioFramework > Components; Drag and drop somewhere on the map an Area.et; Drag and drop a Layer.et into the Area created in the Hierarchy tree; Now, for each faction marker you want to create, do it: Drag and drop a SlotMarker.et into the Layer recently created and listed in the Hierarchy tree; Click over that SlotMarker created, go to its properties, and click on SCR_ScenarioFrameworkSlotMarker; Through the Map Marker area, give the marker a name, and select its icon, and color. [OPTIONAL] Customizing the Mission in-game HUD: Turn off the "PlayerName die!" notification: In GameModeSF, go to SCR_NotificationSenderComponent and, in the Kill Feed Type field, change to Disabled; Turn off or on the friendly names over the player's head: In GameModeSF, go to SCR_NametagConfigComponent and, in the Config Path field: If leave it empty, no name over any head; If configured with NametagFriendlies.conf, only friendly unit names over their heads; [OPTIONAL] Customizing the Time and Weather: Return to World Editor of your mission and select GameModeSF through the Hierarchy column; On the Object Properties area, check if you already have listed the component called SCR_TimeAndWeatherHandlerComponent. If not, add it via the Add Component button; On that component features, custom the time and weather as you want, but don't check the option Allow Header Settings (still broken nowadays); Updating the Mission Header (mission information, available slots for players) In the Enfusion Workbench window, go to <yourProject>/missions/<yourMission>.conf; In the Path field, set this: Missions/<yourMission>.conf; Up-to-date more mission information as Name, Author, Game Mode (Coop, for example), and Player Count; Important: Time and Weather settings are still broken in the Mission Header (World Editor v1.1.0.42); [OPTIONAL] Adding a Custom Image to the Mission Loading Screen: Check this post. Publishing the mission on Reforger Workshop: Save the mission; In the Enfusion Workbench interface, go to the top menu and click on Workbench > Publish to Workshop; Make sure your mission title is correct and you have a cool Preview Image to select; Check the categories make sense for you (like Scenarios_SP and Scenarios_MP for example); If you flagged the mission as Public, you will see your content visible for all Reforger Players in-game and, also, on the Arma Reforger Workshop Website; In the Summary field, I recommend you annunciate the main mission's objective; In the Description field, I recommend you set the whole mission briefing. If you want some model, check out my briefings; Press Publish; Updating your mission: Open Arma Reforger Tools; Select and open your mission in Enfusion Workbench Launcher; Go to the top menu and Workbench > Publish to Workshop; In the Change Notes, write what was changed in the new version; Press Publish; - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 6) MORE DETAILS I do recommend you dive deep into the @Blackheart_Six playlists on YouTube where he's teaching lots of things through hours of videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLACt0Y23f-92UjVNKiODHzA9pnnGl-Lpj And of course, here in the BIS Forums community is the best place to share ideas, solutions, and challenges. If I do not answer you after 90 days, copy and paste the entire topic and keep the work updated and alive for the community. Cheers, thy @aldolammel

So I have the model of a Chinese 107mm rocket, and I want to port it to Arma 3. I have two options: either the Grad rocket from A2 as a template or the other missiles (The AT-1, for example) as a template. The main differences have to do with the levels of detail and shadows. I noticed that in Arma 3, the 207mm rocket uses two models, a fly, and a rocket version. I'm guessing that it has to do with the flames at the end of the rocket and that, at a certain distance, the rocket switches to the flameless model and essentially becomes a shell. Would that be true? Do I have to use the flames used in Arma 2, or is there a way to know which one they used for the Arma 3 rockets? On another note, I also have the model of the launcher (It would be a static weapon in the game). Is there anything I can use as a source? The mortars from Arma 2 are there, but their model.cfgs are pretty lacking. https://i.imgur.com/pAi2Fs1.png

NightOps - Arma Platform Modding Project www.NightOps.de One month after the early access release of Arma Reforger, we are happy to announce the NightOps modding project officially. We provide frameworks and custom gamemodes in Arma Reforger for everyone to use. This makes creating a coop or solo scenario very easy for mission makers. No workbench experience yet? Don’t worry, our first tutorials and documentation will lead you through it! And the best thing, it’s already published! The team made several released the last weeks but we feel now ready, to announce this project to the public. You can either use just one framework as a dependency or the whole package with a lot of useful features for creating custom missions. A showcase what features and mechanics are included can be already played in the NightOps - Everon 1985 mini-campaign and we will release custom PvE and PvPvE gamemodes in the near future. What is already done and can be used right now by everyone: Custom Modes Framework (provides ready-to-use Coop gamemode prefabs and some mighty custom trigger for mission design) Dynamic Task Framework (provides a dedicated server working task manager with a lot of custom task trigger) Dynamic Spawn Framework (provides a system to dynamically spawn and de-spawn groups, vehicles and objects and can even use a dynamic faction system to change the spawning units depending on mission header configuration) Everything is covered in a great basic tutorial written by Herbiie and documented well on our website. And more deep dive guides will follow soon about every framework. Next to that, Zeal published a small tutorial about Additional Script utilizing the frameworks in a more specific way about topics, people were asking lately alot. It’s part of our philosophy to make the project open-source sharing everything we learned for the community. So you can either just download the dependencies in the Ingame workshop or review the sourcecode repositories on GitHub. And finally, I want to share a overview about our roadmap for the near future: While we are working already on bigger gamemodes in the background, we are happy to tease the NightOps DYNAMIC COMBAT PATROL mode which will be released soon. We will offer a immersive and persistent combat patrol experience for Arma Reforgers Everon map. And mission makers can use the gamemode out of the box to add it to other custom terrains easily. Ofcourse, that will be covered by another tutorial when it's done. So don’t miss an update and follow us on Twitter. We are looking for your feedback and issue reports. And if you need support, you can always tag us in the official Arma discord server, on the Enfusion Discord or in our own NightOps discord. So enjoy the mods, feel free to critize what's buggy right now (and we expect that you find the bug's we aren't aware of) and stay safe!

Is it possible that a dead player can spectate his body in 3rdperson and after one minute or the respawn delay time the respawn template "Menu Position" is activated? At the moment the menu position template is activated at the moment the player dies.

Kabul International Airport Ùرودگاه بین المللی کابل by DonbassCZ Information: Hamid Karzai International Airport (Persian: میدان هوائی بین المللی حامدکرزی‎‎, Pashto: د حامدکرزی نړيوال هوائي ډګر‎, IATA: KBL, ICAO: OAKB), is located 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) from the city center of Kabul in Afghanistan. It serves as one of the nation's main international airports and as one of the largest military bases, capable of housing over one hundred aircraft. The airport was given the new name in 2014 in honor of former President Hamid Karzai. The decision was made by the National Assembly of Afghanistan and the Cabinet of President Ashraf Ghani. It was previously named Kabul International Airport. The airport has been expanded and modernized in the last decade. A new international terminal was added and the older terminal is now used for domestic flights. A number of military bases were also built around the airport, which are used by the United States Armed Forces and NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). The military of Afghanistan also has a base there, while the Afghan National Police provide security inside the passenger terminals. As of June 2016 the most frequently serviced destination from the airport was Dubai-International with no less than four passenger airlines flying the route, some with multiple daily flights. In terms of passenger numbers, Istanbul-Atatürk was the largest, followed closely by Dubai, given the high volume of travel with Turkish Airlines, and Ariana Afghan Airlines, which flies to both Istanbul and Ankara in Turkey. Description: Hello. As you probably know from KAF. This project will include three Afghan airfield (Bagram, Kabul, Kandahar). KAF is behind us and now we are embarking KIA. This base will be built in Reshmaan Province. It will be an airport in the middle of the map near the capital city Dilshad (Kabul). What more to say ... I will delete few objects and some places must be improved and i think it will be done. Iam really excitting how it will looks... and I can not wait :) . Also dont forget on this "I'll try to make this base with high FPS so then you could enjoy it"!! PS: I will add pics later.

OK so I got a little bug in my head today where I wanted to go and make some adjustments to a few things I had used long ago. So I went and downloaded all the Massi faction stuff for USSOCOM and I opened up the old template DEVGRU_Hangar_Template linked here and updated it. I removed all the modded stuff as it was one of my pet peeves that I had to download and use mods that I didn't want to use for just one mission. I used to do it because I never felt like updating this thing to just vanilla. So this updated template only has 2 dependencies and I think 99.9% of the Arma 3 community uses them in one way or another and if you don't they are supremely simple to remove on your own. Mods needed are: ACE and CBA I left all the VAS and ASORGS stuff in the mission as I found they were really simple. I took out all the references to Massi's weapons at the weapons table so if you are wanting to use this for your own stuff then go into the game logics and just type in between the quotation marks in the init field which weapons you want to use there. I also updated the weapons crates to use the larger NATO webbing ones so you can stuff those suckers to the gills if that's your thing. Thanks to @syncie who originally built the stuff out. With all that said here is the Updated Special Mission Unit Hangar

Hi Guys, After looking at some of the brilliant inspiration on youtube and steam by Nikoleav and Xcino, (and an awesome rig by Luger from last year) I decided my original rig just didn't cut it. This one is complete from vanilla and apex assets, meaning it will work with almost any community. It is >4x larger than my previous rig and puts it on a similar scale to Xcino's V2. Features include: The structure can be accessed from any one of the 4 struts and gives unique bottlenecks at each one. Multiple office structures and pump areas plus service pipelines to new locations. HUGE level of verticality with multiple 'decks' and sight lines. A secret location for SF ops. A full size helipad and lighting for even the largest of transports. A sensible amount of lighting to assist immersive night ops, (turn dynamic lights up to ULTRA) AND FINALLY, I have added 4 changable respawn points that place players onto the four struts. Good for PVP or curated/role play elements. Obviously AI will struggle to navigate the thing, but the pathing isn't the worst. Use it / alter it as you see fit but let me know of you make any videos, please credit me if you want to re-release it in something else. Anyway have fun. and if you like this sort of thing, drop in the CPM at or our teamspeak at ts1.cornishpastymen.co.uk:9993 Download HERE

I created simple mission which contains simple elevator module for mission makers. The plan was to use empty elevator shaft inside Altis hotel building and recreate fully working elevator cabin and doors. I set followings targets Elevator should operate as close as possible to standard real elevators. Internal and external doors. Supported in multiplayer. Make it possible to walk inside cabin during movement. All kind of equipment should be transportable with elevator on the floor. Originally I wanted to make two separated independent cabins. Nevertheless it would brought several problems like increased number of objects, less space inside cabin and door wings do not have enough space to hide completely when two wings are considered as can be seen in following image. That mean 4 wings for internal and 4 wings for external doors would be required for each cabin. For this reason I have chosen simplification to one large cabin occupying whole shaft. And one internal sliding door and one external sliding door at each floor. In the next step I built cabin and doors from standard ArmA 3 objects. Number of object was kept low as possible in order to reduce HW load. Next phase was scripting stage. Multiple problems emerged. Originally was cabin pars held together using command attachto. Each component was attached to one root component, the floor. This root component was then moved between floors with small steps using setpost command. As the root component moved relatively smoothly the rest of the components was jumping and its refresh rate was roughly 0.5 s. Reason for his problem is hidden inside function attachto which has lower refresh rate for certain object types. This problem was solved by custom made function that simply set position to all components relatively to the root floor component in each floor step of the movement. Another problem happens when player try to walk on the elevator floor during movement. It is impossible and player is breezed. Solution I was able to found is following command player setvelocity [0,0,-0.4]; This command push player to the floor so there is contact between foots and the floor. Every time cabin move it is necessary to perform this command to provide player ability to move. Another problem emerged when scripts was tested at server. Cabin position was controlled server side only as setpos function has global effect. Object position refresh rate between server and client is very low, roughly 5 seconds. This problem makes elevator cabin at standard speed jump by 2 metres steps which basically leave player behind in the empty shaft. Solution for this problem is to build cabin completely locally at each client using createVehicleLocal and synchronise cabin position with server. Server control cabin position and broadcast frequently one value to the clients. This value represent current cabin altitude in the shaft. This helped increase refresh rate significantly. Cabin position was however still twitchy as server broadcast rate for variables is not high. For this reason another additional value is broadcasted from server which represent current elevator velocity. Velocity value is used at clients to interpolate movement between two received cabin positions. Another problem is transport of equipment especially dropped items inside cabin just freeze at the place where are laid and completely ignore cabin movement. The reason is that dropped is object type GroundWeaponHolder, this object does not simulate object physics so it has to be replaced with object type WeaponHolderSimulated. Thus server side script search constantly for GroundWeaponHolder objects inside the elevator cabin using command allMissionObjects "GroundWeaponHolder"; and replace them. Even thou WeaponHolderSimulated performs object physics simulation, it ceases to be simulated when engine detect that object is in stable position in order to reduce HW load. This make WeaponHolderSimulated objects to ignore elevator floor when cabin move. Solution is to frequently check whether WeaponHolderSimulated objects has zero velocity. If cabin is on the move and WeaponHolderSimulated object inside cabin has velocity it is nudged using command setvelocity [0,0, ElvtrCurrentSpeed]; This way is object speed synchronised with cabin speed. Another problem are small vehicles like robots. Their physics simulation also ceases when game engine detect stable position. This problem is solved similarly as pervious problem with dropped equipment using command setvelocity. Only problem is that it has to be performed at computer where robot is local (usually person who control the robot). For this reason server uses CBA_fnc_globalExecute function to make sure the command is performed at each computer. Elevator internal and external doors are synchronised same way as whole elevator vertical position using broadcasted variable. For user interaction ace interaction menu was used as more visually appealing counterpart to standard ArmA 3. Server side manager receive user inputs and control movement of the elevator to simulate real elevator behaviour. This experimental module proven that it is possible to simulate heavy machinery and its interaction with players and vehicles even in multiplayer.

Placed down a few template buildings/locations for others to make missions or get some mission ideas, I don't mind what you do with the map. Uses all vanilla objects - No-addons required. Each location is quite basic - I decorate each location with units and more items from ZEC/ZEI so they will be very adaptable if you wish to switch factions etc. You can download the grouped map and hide/unhide each location in 3den, or I have exported each location to their own mission files in the 'separate' folder. Download: https://github.com/LISTINGS09/WorldTemplates Objects Map Some example areas If you have any areas you have made that you think would make a good addition to the map, I would love to include them in ZEC so others can use them. New and creative objectives or any other ideas are always appreciated.

The Air Station Paul 25 is one of twice Air Stations on the area of the Republic Altis and Stratis. Air Station Paul 25 and the Air Station Mike 26 were still build by the british colonial power, following the downsizing and relocation of Task Force Aegis troops based on Altis, Air Station Paul 25 was transferred to the AAF, although it had no trained personnel to use "Paul 25" at that time. During the civil war and the ensuing war with NATO, Air Station Paul 25 stayed in service almost until the end of the war with NATO forces. Recently, Air Station suffered a targeted detonation due to unknown extraneous forces. Today, the Air Station Paul 25 is again used by Task Force Aegis in cooperation with the civilian and military authorities of the Republic Altis and Stratis. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1544860912

I've just started getting into Zeus and Eden Editor to make missions and stuff. I can't find out anywhere how to make templates and then put them on the server to play them, or at least make templates on the server so I can save it for later or reuse it. Please reply with an answer as to how I can save/load templates on to servers to set up Zeus missions easier. As well as how to make a template in singleplayer, then load it on the server. Thanks.

Hey all. I'm trying to put together a quick mod to replace civilian outfits with those from Tryk's pack, mostly so that I can use a single set of units on multiple islands without having 'guy in shorts in the snow.' Plus they look better and are WAY less loud and obnoxious. May also swap out Syndikat's clothes, too, for similar reasons. Does anyone have a template that I can use to do this? Something that starts with the classname and allows me to overwrite the default loadout? I don't know enough about the coding language to be able to put one together myself. I've tried using the HQ Replacement packs as a base but I'm not finding any editable files that I can start modifying, and I don't understand the syntax enough to make it work. I was really hoping for a "paste classname and Tryk Uniform Code here" type of thing, if anyone can think of how to do that? Thanks in advance if you can help!

A template of the 345th VDV's 3rd Campaign Based in a fictional escalation of the 1st Chechen War. Lots of Bases were made along with Improvements to many of the towns and villages as I made the campaign. I've included the Briefings to the Missions from that campaign if anyone is interested, as the actual missions them selves are dependent on a custom faction I made based on the Caucasus Insurgency Mod, which I've since lost, and so are mostly unplayable. Its not intended to be played as a whole but just take the parts you need for your mission and delete the rest , otherwise the FPS will be really bad. If you do use it in somthing, just put me in the credits Screen Shots Download http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1278897019

ZEC A collection of over 100 compositions for use in Eden/Zeus of varying sizes/complexity. This addon uses vanilla objects and has NO dependancies - Removing the addon will not affect any strucutres already placed in the mission with the addon. Players will NOT require this addon to see the buildings etc... Inspired by austin_medic's pack (https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/170000-wip-custom-zeus-compositions/) which has been incredibly useful. If anyone has made some compositions/bases they think would fit in this pack I'm happy to include them and give you credit. Enjoy.

Story [Tanoan] Since the Tanoa is rich in natural resources, an official government in the year 2028 gives a decree to research territorial waters around the archipelago. Shortly after that, a head of research group "Enclave" found an oil field near the Tanoan International Airport. Building of first offshore oil platform on Tanoa was started. A platform was named "E-77". It was built really fast in the year 2029, because of enthusiasm of Tanoan workers. Since then, Tanoan economy grew up fast. But it couldn't last forever. In 2035, Tanoa was struck with critical flooding. The story of oil rig E-77 has ended. Structure E-77 is a tension-leg platform. It's a vertically moored floating structure. Main platform has 2 sections. The top section is used mainly for living purposes of staff of the platform. There is also a warehouse and big radio tower. Main platform is connected to a secondary platform, which has 3 sections. The top one is used as helicopter LZ. You can get on a platform through it. Also, there is an pier on a main platform to get on it by ship. You can move through platforms and sections by using bridges and stairs. Usage To use it in your mission just subscribe to it and then launch it from Multiplayer (Multiplayer > Server Browser > Host Server > Host Server > Altis > Oil Rig E-77 [VANILLA]). You will download it. After it, you will be able to unpack the pbo of the mission (mission.pbo) in your profile folder. It is located in here: C:\YourUsername\YourUsername\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\YourUsername\Saved\steamMPMission\Oil%20Rig%20E-77%20[VANILLA].Altis Use PBO manager (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=16369) or something else to unPBO mission file. After it, you can take mission.sqm file from there. Place it in a mission folder as your own mission in folders like "mpmissions" and "missions". They're located in your profile folder (C:\YourUsername\YourUsername\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\YourUsername). From now on, add this one to your mission. It will be good, if you will mention author's name in your scenario. Dependency No dependencies ;) Screenshots Download Steam Workshop Armaholic

Hey guys, I want to share my latest work with you. I invested a lot of time into it and now I think you deserve to make use of it too. The purpose of this template is to make custom ( or conventional ) unit structure appear professionally and easily to understand. Originally for tables of organization and equipment ( TOE ). The reference for this is US Army field manual ADRP 1-02 ( 2016 edition ). If you intend to make use of this and add more symbols, please use the layer structure and send me the new version so I can upload it ( or do it yourself, here ). Programme to be used with: Gimp, version 2.8.22 How could this look like? Download link: https://www.dropbox.com/home/gimp and similar files?preview=Unit+figure+1.9.xcf is this file virus checked ? let me know if you prefer it to be uploaded somewhere else. P.S.: If anyone can give me professional feedback on the example structure, regarding any wrong usage, context or mistakes, it will be much appreciated.

Bagram Airfield میدان هوایی بگرام by DonbassCZ Information: Bagram Airfield, also known as Bagram Air Base, (IATA: OAI, ICAO: OAIX) is the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan. It is located next to the ancient city of Bagram, 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) southeast of Charikar in the Parwan Province of Afghanistan. The airfield features a dual runway capable of handling any size military aircraft, including Lockheed Martin C-5 Galaxy and Antonov An-225. The base is mainly occupied by Government contractors, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and minimally by the United States Armed Forces. Bagram Airfield is currently maintained by the Combined Joint Task Force 10th Mountain Division (CJTF-10), having taken over from the 101st Airborne Division in the winter of 2013. It is also maintained by 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade (Task Force Pale Horse) and 3-10 GSAB (Task Force Phoenix) of the U.S. Army, with the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing of the U.S. Air Force and other U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and ISAF units having sizable tenant populations. In addition, the U.S. government regional platform for the east is at the base, staffed by civilians. The ICAO ID is OAIX and it is specifically at 34.944N, 69.259E at 1,492 metres (4,895 ft) above sea level. One of Bagram's runways is 3,003 metres (9,852 ft) long and the other is 3,500 metres (11,500 ft) long, which was built and completed by the United States in late 2006. There are a number of large hangars, a control tower, numerous support buildings, and various housing areas. There are also more than 32 acres (130,000 m²) of ramp space and five aircraft dispersal areas, with over 110 revetments. Many support buildings and base housing built by the Soviet Armed Forces during their occupation were destroyed by years of fighting between various warring Afghan factions after the Soviets left. New barracks and office buildings are being constructed at the present time, and the base is slowly expanding. The Kabul International Airport is about 25 miles (40 km) south of Bagram, connected by two separate roads. Also, the Parwan Detention Facility is located somewhere around the base at Bagram. It has been criticized in the past for its abusive treatment of prisoners. In May 2010, the International Committee of the Red Cross revealed that since August 2009 it was informed about inmates of a second prison where detainees are held in isolation and without access to the International Red Cross that is usually guaranteed to all prisoners. Description: Hello. After successful completion of the KIA we are moving to other airports which will represent BAF ( Bagram Airfield ) in Reshmaan Province. Base is orientated in the north of the map. You can look forward to lots of new things . Slowly but surely, we are approaching the completion REshmaan edition pack, so I hope you will like it because after completing his move into Clafghan . Surely you have something to look forward to. As a tradition i will delete some objects. Dont forget that "I'll try to make this base with high FPS so then you could enjoy it"!!

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.

Hi All, I built this a while ago as a small mission for my group at the CPM. The boys liked it so I decided I would put it up as a template in case anyone wanted to use it. It is created entirely from BI or CUP assets and has a fair amount of CQB options. Our mission was to SDV to the rig at night and infiltrate. AI doesn't like it too much but it's brilliant for curated missions or roleplay (like we run at the CPM) or PVP. Features include: Multiple infil options by water leading to a small bottleneck at the top Offices and pump rooms, for adding your own story elements A usable helicopter pad (Ever tried making a landing pad float.... ?) Immersive lighting for night ops. Images here Anyway have fun. And if you like this sort of thing, drop in the CPM at or our teamspeak at ts1.cornishpastymen.co.uk:9993 Click here for Armaholic link Silos
