I am a big noob in map making, I followed the PMC's excellent guide to the end (https://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=arma3:terrain:ultimate-terrain-tutorial). The only problem is the roads are not showing in Buldozer ! I did install Buldozer Tools v 0.2 found on PMC site by just pasting it to "P:\scripts" and rewriting the files. Pressing 1 in Buldozer doesn't show any roads.

fixed it by creating a new map frame a few times and changing the height map. So far this is occurring on windows 10 64 bit. I did a fresh install of everything for Arma 3 Tools and Verified Cache through Steam which Validated 3 Files, Also used futuraToP to extract the game Data to make buldozer work for the updated scripts/road tool. I set Terrain builder to compatibility mode for windows 7 as Administrator checked. (It was working fine on windows 7 before , since I upgraded to win.10 I ran into problems with terrain builder being slow and unresponsive while loading up maps and closing dialog boxes etc.) ... Using L3DT to export terrain as 2048x2048 Asc or Xyz Format ( I prefer ASC which works best usually.) In Buldozer view The terrain is flat. In Terrain Builder Window, it's Flat without Colored Height Lines/Contours you would normally see on a working import ( Red,Orange Etc.) > I Tested to see if a BMP Works normally, and surprisingly it does work like Asc should be doing Like this BMP Import. Here's a picture of what It looks like when i import the terrain as Asc/Xyz. No Contours or lines for Elevation like Above. + Terrain is Flat with blocky water textures interrupting the "Smooth" coastline. And this is The result in Buldozer.

Morning, I am the autor of the Korengal map which you can find the link below. Map I have a couple of questions for you. 1- inserting vegetation via clutter what incidence in performance level compared to putting it manually? Is there a difference? 2- I noticed that the map in game has some colors that do not satisfy me, they are too light, is there a way to darken them via script, or you have to act on the satellite image in Photoshop? 3- By inserting objects mainly in manual I have several duplicate objects or objects that do not adhere to the ground. Using the terrain builder tool "Run object diagnostics" makes me edit one object at a time, is there a faster way to debug the objects? Thanks in advance to those who will want to answer me best regards

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

Hey guys, as part of "Brazilian Armed Forces" Mod we are currently working on a new map called "Traira Operation" and we want to show you guys some progress regularly within this thread. The region depicted in this work is the Brazilian/Colombian border deep in the heart of Amazon tropical jungle, aka "Green Hell" Background: On February 26, 1991, a group of 40 guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, who called itself "Simon Bolivar Command", crossed the border from Colombia to Brazil and raided the Traíra detachment of the Brazilian Army, which was in semi-permanent installations and had less effective, only 17 soldiers, than the attacking guerrilla column. Intelligence operations claim that the attack was motivated by repression by the border detachment of illegal mining in the region, one of FARC funding sources. During the attack three Brazilian soldiers died and nine were injured. Two illegal Colombian miners who were detained at the camp also died. Various weapons, ammunition and equipment were stolen. Immediately the Brazilian Armed Forces, authorized by President Fernando Collor de Mello and with the knowledge and support of Colombian President César Gaviria, secretly unleashed Traira Operation, in order to recover the stolen weapons and discourage further attacks; As aftermath from "Traira Operation", 12 colombian guerrillas were killed and a unknow number was captured, most of the weapons and equipment was recovered. Since then, there`s no record about new FARC incursions nor raids inside Brazilian territory, as well as attacks on Brazilian military. The map is being built using "MapBuilder" for placing objects, "BIS Terrain Processor" for the jungle clusters and other "nature" stuff. Most of the vegetation came from Berghoff's BRG_Africa addon and from Sgt_Savage`s Arma 2 "Unsung Vietnam War Mod", both will be included in the final package. I must confess that I`m very excited about the annoucenment af the new Arma 3 Tanoa map, the vegetation will fit perfectly in this project! Map size is 40960x40960m Grid size is 4096 cells Cell size is 10m. Please don't ask me about a precise release date, keep in mind that this is a work in progress and we`re still working at several custom models like, vegetation, riverine and indigenous houses for example.... I hope I`ll be able to launch a "teaser map" with only 10x10km by the end of november 2015. =D You can also follow this project at our Facebook page if you want. Cheers from Brazil! B)

Can anyone help with this: 1) i have the map source, if i open it in TB and remove some object or the whole layer of objects and save it (all in all do smth without pressing Generate layers) - it saves just fine, export it to WRP and make PBO - very fine! No glitches at all. Just perfect! 2) BUT if i press Generate layers and then > WRP > PBO - somehow one of surfaces becomes broken... this one - GdtConcrete[] = {{200,200,200}}; - in Buldozer and in EDEN it has very same glitch - in some places it is absent, in some - its present, in few places i can even see the border where it dissapeares. Here are the screenshots of it all: http://aimgame.ru/images/brdr.jpg http://aimgame.ru/images/border.jpg http://aimgame.ru/images/loop.jpg http://aimgame.ru/images/grass.jpg I've tried everything 10 times already... i guess i just dont know something... 🙂

TB dont start whitout any errors from armatools or folder with administrator mode new OS (win7 x64 pro, licensed, updated) rpt file

Does anybody know what has changed? Even existing maps already in ARMA stopped working (no satelite, no surface). cannot_load_texture s_000_000_Ico.paa

Hello everyone! I'm actually staff of a french arma3 server and with one of mapper we search to take the "livonia source code" for implant mapping in the terrain builder because we have some object of this mod. One of you will know where I can found the source? Thank you everyone and take a good night/ good day. PS: sorry for my so bad english I'm a french people and I'm not a very good translater ^^

Hi map/terrain/environment/world… makers, this is, after working at BI/BISim for almost 10 years, my first topic created here at BI forums. In my defense, I’m mostly active in Arma 3 Maps Terrains Skype’s group, but the topic I want to share with you deserves to be discuss here(skype has short memory and is not as comfortable as forums, for such kind of discussion). The Topic? It’s of course the bLandscapeTools(bLT), an addon for Blender I’ve been already working on for the last 8 years. The main reason I started this addon was: already knew Blender wanted to improve my python scripting skills, as I like to automate or at least speed up processes many handy world creation features were not available back then, are not available now and will never be implemented in BI/BISim world creation tools Necessary to note that I never intended to write a tool which would take over the world BI/BISim tools, but rather try to fill gaps(small/large) in terrain development. Blender is a 3D modeling tool(and much more), but you can’t expect fancy features which can handle big chunks of terrains with millions of objects on it, it has its own bottlenecks and limits, but even back then I could see, that the advantage of having possibility to import terrain mesh and its textures to Blender and start placing environment content much more easier way(comparing to Buldozer) or even modeling content over a terrain is a feature that will never come into Terrain Builder/Buldozer. By sticking together Blender’s default features like sculpting, painting + powerfull API I was basically able to add many time consuming and “Visitor4/TerrainBuilder hard to get implemented” features into Blender. Let’s stop talking for now… check out my talk at BlenderConference2016 about the Blender Terrain Tools(Edit: just currently I changed the name to bLandscapeTools) so you guys can make an image of what I’ve been working on. There are some features which will be really hard(almost impossible) to release because they are closely bound to BI dev content like raw(non-binarized) P3Ds, but on the positive note bLT has some handy features not even mentioned in the video(like quality assurance tools) Why now? After the conference I got contacted by individuals and even teams, asking me where they can download the addon as they would like to have their hands on it and give it a try. So I decided to start releasing the tool bits by bits to people so they, hopefully, can have a fun time play around with bLT. Also, the fact that this year(2017) it's going to be 10 years at BI/BISim or in other words working with the RVengine, as well as, Paul Pelosi(bushlurker) suddenly passing away, made me to do this decision and release the tool. It’s also going to be a challenge and something new to me, releasing my tool to other people, it needs a change of thinking about the tool, fix some parts of the pipeline..etc. and that may take some time. How? There’s plenty of how in the front of me. I need to figure out a way how to share the tool with you guys. Github, Blender market I have in my mind right now. As mentioned already, there are features hard to release(raw P3Ds). In this case I’ll have to ask someone here in BI, if company would be willing to release let’s say at least last LODs of assets so they could be imported into Blender and used within bLT. I use Blender for over 10 years, so I’m pretty comfortable with its workflow, but this doesn’t have to apply to a newcomer. Therefore, I’ll have to take some steps to make bLT even more user friendly than it is right now. I plan to make quite some tutorials how to use Blender and bLT to user’s satisfaction. Currently, Blender development is at the stage where quite a big major changes are being implemented and to be released with Blender 2.8. There’s going to be plenty of great new features such Viewport update(supporting PBR shaders), new Layers, Workflow system and much more. This means that I’ll have to re-think some of the bLT features to support all these new improvements once they’re released. Therefore I don’t want to do any major touches into what exists in bLT now. I hope that the improvements done for 2.8 will take bLT a few steps further again, as it already happened with the transition from Blender 2.4 to 2.5+. So once again, I’d like to ask you to have a look at my talk, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. It will help me to move on with releasing the tool as well as to know how the features should be done to help you create a map for any RV engine related project. When? Release of the '0-th' or 'Introduction' version is planned on the end of summer holidays. Progress will be tracked here. Subscribe to my personal youtube's channel here. Tools Github's here. Twitter Cheers, Miro

Alright, I've just suffered the nightmare situation... Was saving X-cam project, halfway through Arma 3 just blackscreened. I waited for a while, tried to get it to respond, nothing. So, I had to force it closed, and surprise surprise, my X-cam .ini project file is totally corrupt. This is how the .ini looks now (just a preview) [Group_0] obj_0="[[0,225,0,1,"[3994.800781,7219.58252,-0.000841737]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[1,225,1,1,"[3987.574951,7189.14209,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[2,225,2,1,"[3985.406982,7189.813477,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[3,225,3,1,"[3983.2229,7191.0615234,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[4,225,4,1,"[3981.425781,7192.0415039,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1]]" obj_1="[[5,225,5,1,"[3968.746826,7192.789063,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[5,225,6,1,"[3971.374023,7190.682617,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[6,315,7,1,"[4885.00537109,5408.311035,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[6,346.174,8,1,"[4849.862793,5388.106934,0.0740741]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[7,46.1489,9,1,"[4144.345703,6513.947754,1.89739]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1]]" obj_2="[[8,110.542,10,1,"[4093.045166,7368.766602,-0.000841752]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[9,303.346,11,1,"[2159.0793457,6156.963867,-0.00168347]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[10,30.1513,12,1,"[3957.652832,7259.290039,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[11,206.856,13,1,"[4016.49707,7270.161133,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[12,57.8652,14,1,"[4186.0810547,6529.321777,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1]]" obj_3="[[13,87.9157,15,1,"[4260.229492,6737.12207,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[14,24.974,16,1,"[3980.540527,7260.585449,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[15,24.974,17,1,"[4000.381348,7226.234863,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[16,335.732,18,1,"[1755.595703,2954.227539,-0.965892]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[17,335.732,19,1,"[4745.467285,5990.625,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1]]" obj_4="[[18,119.444,20,1,"[4876.893555,6088.448242,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[19,119.444,21,1,"[4944.424316,6114.696289,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[19,538.85,22,1,"[4925.703125,6123.28125,-7.65979]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[20,178.85,23,1,"[4765.703125,6212.195801,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[20,239.456,24,1,"[4950.0419922,6032.199707,-2.09933]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1]]" obj_5="[[21,239.456,25,1,"[4919.831543,6061.807617,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[21,312.183,26,1,"[4912.575195,6047.895508,-1.25673]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[21,312.183,27,1,"[4887.158691,6173.29248,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[22,312.183,28,1,"[4795.969727,6091.355957,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[23,301.451,29,1,"[4777.470215,6076.231934,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1]]" obj_6="[[24,301.451,30,1,"[4777.97998,6033.415527,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[23,217.929,31,1,"[4763.0986328,6009.155762,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[25,152.02,32,1,"[4872.791016,6010.240723,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[26,120.707,33,1,"[5309.62207,5947.742676,-3.42929]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[27,120.707,34,1,"[5357.418457,6179.757813,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1]]" obj_7="[[28,209.532,35,1,"[5390.36084,6190.995605,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[29,289.646,36,1,"[5382.0327148,6202.0688477,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[30,359.595,37,1,"[4423.893555,6066.460938,0.121212]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[31,359.595,38,1,"[4386.387207,6002.249512,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[32,328.219,39,1,"[8061.634766,5844.299805,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1]]" obj_8="[[33,352.272,40,1,"[6053.805176,6929.761719,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[34,270.202,41,1,"[4724.726563,5575.610352,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[35,264.836,42,1,"[4679.0356445,5550.554199,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[36,88.1062,43,1,"[4410.0952148,5845.835449,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[37,69.2928,44,1,"[4766.910156,5558.0263672,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1]]" obj_9="[[38,90.1893,45,1,"[4365.835449,5546.89502,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[39,90.1893,46,1,"[4602.666992,5649.61377,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[40,42.3989,47,1,"[4618.872559,5650.753906,-1.59091]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[41,342.992,48,1,"[4620.616699,5640.652344,-3.00809]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[39,342.992,49,1,"[4602.995117,5627.614746,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1]]" obj_10="[[42,342.992,50,1,"[4587.261719,5571.00244141,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[42,6.16096,51,1,"[4981.869629,5547.14209,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[42,6.16096,52,1,"[2060.720947,3370.146973,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[43,318.307,53,1,"[2153.697754,4206.829102,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1],[44,87.7896,54,1,"[4488.65332,5834.851563,0]",-100,[0,0,0],[0,0],0,[],0,1,-1]]" I have already tried several different file recovery solutions, and none of them can see a previous version of the file.

My most hopeful solution is that I do have an X-cam output txt file (for Terrain Builder) which isn't too old. So, my question is, unless there is something else I haven't thought of, how can I get my X-cam output file re-imported to X-cam as a project? I really don't want to resort to having to use Buldozer... Cheers!

Hi, After some tests and corrections I decided to put it on the open test. If anyone needs this program, I will repair the remaining errors and also change or add new features if needed. Program to generate a vegetation by mask. It can: 1) Import object list from Terrain Builder. 2) Random place objects on area selected by color from sat. mask texture. 3) Generate object by defined random values of size, direction, pitch. 3) Export result as .txt back to TB. Small manual: 1) Create new project. 2) Import mask image. 3) In upper menu select "objects database", and fill it with your objects. You can import them from TB project. Press import button and select .tml file from \TemplateLibs folder. 4) Create new color mapping (press button "New color mapping" and name it). Select created color mapping item, then double click on map cell (2d mode)), right click on tile and select color. 5) Add layers to created color mapping. Right click on mapped color item and add layers (like Forest), select % object fill on this layer. 6) Setup layer objects. On layer press on "0" button and select out objects for this layer. 7) Press "Generate placement". For all map object placement in map view or in 3d view for single tile generation (for quick TB import, testing). 8) Result for TB import will be generated as .txt in selected output folder. Notes: "number of tiles" = basically copy this value from TB project. color mapping = color from mask, on with objects will be placed. go back to the full map view = press 'M' or Backspace Tips: 1) You may need to setup drive path with more free space for ImageMagick cache files: Menu>AppSettings 2) For better performance us bigger number for "Tiles in row count" in project setup. Try to have < 512px tile resolution. Example: You have 36864px source image resolution and tiles in row count 96, 36864 / 96 = 384px. .Net Framework 4.7 requeued.

Hey all, I have what I assume is a pretty newbie question but no one I ask seems to know the answer and I wasn't able to find any info online: When I create a polygon to fill it with various trees, bushes, etc I'm forced to give it a unique preset name but I'm unable to find where I can reuse this preset rather than manually adding all the bushes/trees I want and tweaking the density every single time I make a new polygon fill. This is especially annoying with complex fills that include many different objects. Am I doing this the wrong way? If I do create a "preset" how can I then reuse that?

I'm trying my hand at making a map and I get this error when I go to generate layers. Here is my config file: class Layers { class ben_yellow_sand { texture = ""; material = "ben\egypt\data\ben_yellow_sand.rvmat; }; class ben_yellow_sand2 { texture = ""; material = "ben\egypt\data\ben_yellow_sand2.rvmat; }; class ben_rock { texture = ""; material = "ben\egypt\data\ben_rock.rvmat; }; class ben_rock2 { texture = ""; material = "ben\egypt\data\ben_rock2.rvmat; }; }; class Legend { picture = "ben\egypt\source\maplegend.png"; class Colors { ben_yellow_sand[]={{ 236, 230, 149 }}; ben_yellow_sand2[]={{ 226, 207, 129 }}; ben_rock[]={{ 181, 158, 111 }}; ben_rock2[]={{ 196, 177, 121 }}; }; };

Hello, So I have decided to replace all the cup buildings on my terrain with Livonia buildings. I have imported them into terrain builder with the following path - enoch\addons\etc.. When I load bulldozer all is fine and all the buildings are there, but when I burn it into the .wrp and load it into arma it says that it cannot open object enoch\addons\structures_f_enoch\walls\woodenwall_05_m_d_4m_f.p3d and no livonia buildings appear on the map. I have searched the library for the file and it is in there under source dir at enoch\addons\structures_f_enoch\walls\wooden I have tried changing the enoch in the directory path to a3 but it says that it doesn't exist. Not sure what Ive done wrong but any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

During the process of making a layers.cfg file, I stumbled across this strange error. At first, I thought it was just the computer having a hard time finding the P: drive, so I unmounted it and remounted it. That didn't work so I restarted my computer and tried mounting it again. It still didn't work so I decided to comb the code and see if there were any errors. Still nothing. At this point, I was getting frustrated, so I took to the internet to try and find out if anyone else had these problems. And they did, and in almost every case it was some kind of typo or hidden characters. But despite rewriting the code three times and making a completely different file, it still returned the same exact error. Is anyone able to help? tl;dr there was a p drive error that I can't seem to resolve. class Layers { class gdt_rock { texture = ""; material = "a3\map_data\gdt_rock.rvmat"; }; class gdt_strbeach { texture = ""; material = "a3\map_data\gdt_strbeach.rvmat"; }; class gdt_strconcrete { texture = ""; material = "a3\map_data\gdt_strconcrete.rvmat"; }; class gdt_strdirt { texture = ""; material = "a3\map_data\gdt_strdirt.rvmat"; }; class gdt_dry_grass { texture = ""; material = "a3\map_data\gdt_dry_grass.rvmat"; }; class gdt_wild_grass { texture = ""; material = "a3\map_data\gdt_wild_grass.rvmat"; }; class gdt_strforest_pine { texture = ""; material = "a3\map_data\gdt_strforest_pine.rvmat"; }; }; class Legend { legend = "maplegend.png"; class Colors { gdt_rock[] = {{ 0, 0, 255 }}; gdt_strbeach[] = {{ 0, 0, 255 }}; gdt_strconcrete[] = {{ 0, 0, 255 }}; gdt_strdirt[] = {{ 0, 0, 255 }}; gdt_dry_grass[] = {{ 0, 0, 255 }}; gdt_wild_grass[] = {{ 0, 0, 255 }}; gdt_strforest_pine[] = {{ 0, 0, 255 }}; }; }; If anyone can see any errors with the code or spot some typos I might have missed, your help will be greatly appreciated.

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.

hi, i am new to terrain building, and wanted to know how to create more ground vegetation i have successfully created a map and played it in game to have a look, there is the same type of grass everywhere, i would like more varied vegetation. do i add this in terrain builder placing every single bush and flower manually or with a poly shape or in the layers.cfg. any help would be great, as im still getting to grips with it. cheers

Hi All , I have startet Today with build a map inspired by Taunus , Chernarus and would like make a mix of them ALL works fine but i dont can figure out how to change the ground Texture color . Actual the ground color is ingame green yellow when the grass no more render and looks ugly . I want to make ist Brown dark green but how ? THX to all for reading an hopefully try to help me :) !

Hello, I'm making a map and I've noticed that at different distances the texture of the grass changes so the map becomes very ugly. I want to know if this is due to the configuration of the map or something similar.

I have been working on a terrain for my mod and have been creating custom buildings for it. When I spawn the buildings in the editor to test them all is working fine(Checking if player is in bounding box returns true, AI follow paths). When I export to terrain builder and test the buildings after they are on the map, checking if player is in bounding box returns false and the AI will no longer use the paths. I have all the same geometry lod properties as the sample model from the Arma 3 sample pack defined. map = house class = house damage = no Prefershadowvolume = 0 sbsource = Shadowvolume I feel like I'm missing something in terrain builder because everything with the buildings works fine when just spawning the building in. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Losing my mind over this one. *edit* Seems that I needed to add a Land_xx class to the config to fix the issue. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/The_Land_xx_class

Unfortunately my Terrain Builder freezes frequently, and it can freeze my computer for over 10 minutes and I need to restart my computer to resolve the frustrating issue. I honestly don't know why this happens, so I'd like some clarification if available. This happens even when I don't have any project loaded, so the project isn't what's causing it (I would presume). I encountered the issue of not being able to even access Terrain Builder, as in whenever I clicked on it using the Arma 3 Tools menu, everything would just close instantaneously, and I resolved the issue by removing all of the Arma 3 data & then replacing it. I don't know if that correlates to the issue of freezing, but I think that it's probably the effect of something else.
