[Add texture help]

just going to try this line and see what happens

 

_object setObjectTexture [1, "mapcontent\textures\test.jpg"];

[Add texture help]

when i was using this line -

 

_this setObjectTexture "images\test.jpg";

 

it wasnt working, i was doing this clientside though so would that make a difference?

 

i have moved all the additions server side now so i could go test it but is there something wrong in the syntax?

[Add texture help]

Anyone know how to add a picture to the billboard called in this script?

looked at the way they do it in Altis life but doesn't seem to work the same way?

 

diag_log format['Custom %1 - Starting billboards.sqf',time];

 

_pos = [13102.2, 10143.8, 0];

_object = createVehicle ["Land_Billboard_F", _pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

_object setDir 185.52;

_object setPosATL _pos;

 

Cheers guys

Sorry bud, I don't usually sit waiting for a reply back.

Resource forums are your friend.

I would get picking through there!

And the other way is here, using the a3_epoch_custom.zip, extract and add to addons in epoch hive right?

 

 

confirmed this myself lol ill edit the original post

ok so this is the link for the maps.h edits

 

[[Tutorial] How to add buildings to epoch without editing mission.sqm]

im assuming you add "custom_buildings" folder, add "fn_billboards.sqf" and insert this code.....

 

if (isServer) then {

  _this = createVehicle ["Land_Billboard_F", [13102.2, 10143.8, 0], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

  _this setDir 185.52;

  _this setPos [13102.2, 10143.8, 0];

};

 

and then make into a .pbo inside the addons folder?

im probably mistaken though :)

[[Tutorial] How to add buildings to epoch without editing mission.sqm]

Ok so have you got a link to the tutorial that explains how to do both of those DirtySanchez? At least then people arent misled by the OP of mine :)

[[Tutorial] How to add buildings to epoch without editing mission.sqm]

Ah well this may be useless info for people then lol. The only other way iv seen to add stuff is by using derapify to edit the mission.sqm. If theres a way to do this server side id love to know, im absolutely no expert at ArmA code, i only took it up because our coder left lol and its a pretty steep learning curve. But yeah, i thought id let people know that this is one way to do it :)

[[Tutorial] How to add buildings to epoch without editing mission.sqm]

Hey guys, first tutorial so be kind, also before i begin, this isn't my code and i take no credit for it whatsoever, i have made a few adjustments but mostly to tidy up. Please if your the original author, contact me and i shall credit you accordingly!

Ok so here goes -

DirtySanchez - Pointing out the possible ways to add the objects

Halvhjearne & KiloSwiss - Help figuring out how to add textures

 

Step 1:

Download the "a3_epoch_custom.zip" found here and extract it - 

 

Step 2: 

Add the folder to "@epochhive/addons"

 

Step 3:

Edit and rename "@epochhive/addons/a3_epoch_custom/mapcontent/somecontent1.sqf"

for example my renamed file is - billboards.sqf

 

Step 4:

Edit the renamed file to include the objects you wish to add and their position, for example i changed - 

 

diag_log format['Custom %1 - Starting somecontent1.sqf',time];

 

_pos = [630.292419,1808.09729,0.0749831];

_object = createVehicle ["Land_LampStreet_F", _pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

_object setDir 280.171;

_object setPosATL _pos;

 

to

 

diag_log format['Custom %1 - Starting billboards.sqf',time];

 

_pos = [13102.2, 10143.8, 0];

_object = createVehicle ["Land_Billboard_F", _pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

_object setDir 185.52;

_object setPosATL _pos;

 

To edit the texture of say a billboard then add this to the bottom of your entry in billboards.sqf so it looks like this -

 

diag_log format['Custom %1 - Starting billboards.sqf',time];

 

_pos = [13102.2, 10143.8, 0];

_object = createVehicle ["Land_Billboard_F", _pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

_object setDir 185.52;

_object setPosATL _pos;

_object setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "textures\test.jpg"];

 

Step 5:

Open .../a3_epoch_custom/init/fn_init.sqf and edit this line-

[] execVM "\x\addons\custom\mapcontent\somecontent1.sqf";

to -

[] execVM "\x\addons\custom\mapcontent\billboards.sqf"; (replace billboards.sqf with what you renamed your file to)

 

Step 6:

Pack "a3_epoch_custom" into a .pbo and enjoy

 

Step 7:

If you added the texture line, then open your mission .pbo in your mpmissions folder and add a new folder call "textures", in this folder is where you place the image you want as a texture.

Remember to change the name in the line you added earlier (_object setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "textures\test.jpg"];) to match the name of the image in the textures folder.

 

Step 8:

Repack mission .pbo

 

Notes:

 

To get the coordinates i just teleport to the position i want and look in the infistar logs, but you could use the editor to find these positions.

You can add seperate files in the ".../mapcontent/...." folder by adding another "call compile......" line to the "fn_init.sqf".

 

Cheers guys, hope this helped!

Thanks for the infor buddy but it was the stupid mistake above :) if i run into other issues, which im sure i will its arma after all, ill see if these fixes might be related!

 

Cheers guys

[[Resolved] server rejected connection, bad version.]

Dont know if this is the right place (cant imagine it is) but im having a huge problem with our server, updated it to 1.48 on the dedibox and updated to 1.48 on my home pc, now it wont let me join the server, "server rejected connection, bad version".
Tried reinstalling ArmA 3 on both, tried validating on both and validated all my mods too...... any ideas fella's?
Cheers and sorry for putting this here but im not sure where else it should go.

I figured that would be the solution, just wanted to confirm that before changing it :) thanks very much!
