Looking for help and willing to offer some!

[theliquidfoxhound]

So, I've learned a lot in the past month; My server has gone from nothing to a functioning Epoch server with multiple mods. I'm no whiz, but while I am here looking for help, if anyone has needs some help or someone to bounce ideas off of, let me know and we can connect through skype.

The one task I find daunting, now, is map editing. I want to spruce up the traders and random areas. Looking for someone to show me an not complicated way, or break it down for me. Or, if you have NAPF custom addons, or are willing to mod my map let me know! Looking for any help, I want to make it more attractive for players! Thanks!

You could just try and use the mission editor to place down buildings and what not.

[Tobias Solem]

1. Start arma2 with epoch

2. Press alt+E and choose your favourite map to modify

3. Place a center (f10), a unit and a player marker on the map

4. Start placing structures in either 2d or 3d

5. Click save, and two files will be generated (biedi/sqf), you need to modify the sqf-file so to look just like the other map addons (look at them for an idea)

6. Load your newly modified sqf in your init.sqf and add it to your mission.pbo like with any other map addon

7. profit

Alright, cool I'm going to try. The confusion I had was when i watched a quick vid and saw some guy modifying like the names of buildings so they spawn loot? I don't want to do that so much as add reg buildings to traders and create NPC island with two crates that hold loot.

Ugh, definitely not simple. How do i find positions? Like its position that I'd use in script vs it's in game location
