Brez Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hopefully the add more building objects and the guys who did Snap pro implement it in A3. It's the weak point of the mod right now in it's current state in my opinion. Seems that if you want to build on any ground that isn't perfectly level you need foundations. I'm not sure if the foundations can be raised/lowered into the ground yet as I haven't played in a while since the release of the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurgurgle Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 ok guys yeah the new build system is tricky but once you get the hang of it you can build some pretty nice bases... im starting to make a youtube series on epoch base building i hope to pop out the first few videos this week to cover the basics and then maybe one or 2 more to go more indepth with designs... heres a link to my first vid not much building in this one but you get i quick tour of a base i built on my server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackalopeHunter Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 One of the problems with the building system is that you are very limited when it comes to sealing off existing map buildings. The walls and doors are larger than fit in many buildings and the buildings cause issues with the items. This could be fixed with the introduction of buildables that were designed more for sealing off buildings and less for starting from scratch. Now I know you can blow up map buildings, but you can blow up buildables also so no bid deal. But instead of having to build an entire base, you could start with just an existing map building and seal it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurgurgle Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 you can quite easily seal off and fortify existing map building you just have to know how... i will be covering this in one of my later tutorial videos... today ill be recording again. hopefully covering the basics of "my first base" how to build and use the mechanics properly...

TayTayTheKiller Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 The physics is kinda tricky but you can also use it to your advantage like making floors into walls lol It may look a mess but it sure helps blocking people out until we can find enough mats for cinder walls) (Green walls reset after a restart kept knocking them down with the wooden floors/walls.)

JohnyMST Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hi guys, I have went over the really basics of my base: Hope this helps someone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arno Nym Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 @JohnyMST: First thanks for the video, but i think you doesn't have understand the snaping mode, because the foundation you build doesnt snap in the video :) and all what i see is that you build a lot of the things in "free mode" instead of snapmode. Try the same building in the right snapmode and it won't look like yours Then the stairs, you says "perfect" i see the bouncing and not even fit perfect, and you use the false stairacse beause this one only for roofs (Suppe has told us that) Answer one question: How can your wall fall down on one side, after you bild an flat underground with foundations?

spurgurgle Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 My first question is: your frequency jammer is very easy to get to and your base hasnt been destroyed. low population server? how is the jammer easy to get to. it behind a minimum of 2 large metal doors and 2 small metal doors (not to mention the perimiter wall). each of the walls around it is also several cinder walls thick. i tested this in construction and it would take a mininum of 8 sachels to get to my jammer in that base and thats if you know eactly what walls/doors to ake out to get to it... n a low pop server? its my server. i said in the video im running a private instance on my pc for making this tuorial series. ill be making the next video later today. and get stuck into how to build properly. and securly.

I actually upgraded those stairs because I'm planning on moving upwards with another floor. I wanted the stairs this way. Yes I know they bounce and don't fit "perfect" in arma 2 snapping sense BUT I believe it is perfect for Arma 3 snapping mode. As you can see, all of the parts were build with option 1 on my keyboard which is Snap. I can't figure out how to place a foundation snapped to another one - can you tell me how? Thanks!

Thanks! right you are in build mode 1 but still not snapping watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh_Sp2zH9Xw#t=69and you will see, that the foundation have space between the next one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be working great in the video. Can you translate and explain what he is saying? I will try he's method later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arno Nym Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 The Foundation are snapping, when the 2nd one you placed has approximately the same high as the one before and move them slowy away from the one before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnyMST Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I think I understand the logic behind that now lol... I will test it out after work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurgurgle Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 ok video 2 is up no and video 3 will be up in an hour or soo so heres a link to the playlist http://youtu.be/WAopCPpy9RQ?list=PLm6NfdQ3NmL_z9JzU_RQj6hoC5eZIPiW0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brez Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 It would be really cool if you could raise your foundation high enough to make a garage port under it. The only prob is you couldn't get up into the base from your garage port or maybe you could by laying a doorway flat like the one guy did with the elevators.
