[WIP] Building custom bases

[BlackPlague_81st]

Now, did you use the 3d editor, or Zues + MMC?

 

If you used the 3d editor, you need to find your BIEDI file, which has all of the codes.

[Humpabry]

ya zeus + mcc.

 

if i use the editor can i just add stuff to map not too sure where the buildings are without zues

[BlackPlague_81st]

Look in "My Documents> Arma 3>////"

 

You should look for your mission file, along with the BIEDI file. < Important file. Lmk if you need help.

[Humpabry]

ya with zeus and mcc u only get a sqf file. no BIEDI file 

 

any save i do with them only gives me the SQF file

[Humpabry]

so on standard editor without zues + mcc how do u spawn buildings etc not sure on this and wanna try it to see if it gives me the right coding

 

do you use drens editor upgrade? lets you place arma 3 buildings?

 

ok can now place the buildings in normal mode of editor but still does not give you the BIEDI file quite annoying

The mission file is running about 100% of the time.

Player logs in? Load mission file.

Player disconnects? update mission file

 

Player makes a new base? (Database AND Mission file are updated)

 

Performance issues? Too large of a mission file

 

Mission file should NOT be changed, unless the mission.sqm file is being changed itself for addressing addons.

This Sir, is BS :) The Missionfile is Read-Only and is downloaded by every client(and server) on connect, then executed once, the missionfile doesnt get "updated" by the server or any client, there are only JIP-Requests, but these have nothing todo with code inside the missionfile.

follow these steps for the correct coding..the guy helps you make .biedi files and saves correct coding

 

just a lack of buildings sadly 

 

_vehicle_1 = objNull;

if (true) then

{

_this = createVehicle ["Land_BagBunker_Tower_F", [2491.5908, 5665.8174, 0.00012207031], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

_vehicle_1 = _this;

_this setPos [2491.5908, 5665.8174, 0.00012207031];

};

 

_vehicle_2 = objNull;

if (true) then

{

_this = createVehicle ["Land_BagBunker_Tower_F", [2474.7505, 5657.1978, -1.5258789e-005], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

_vehicle_2 = _this;

_this setPos [2474.7505, 5657.1978, -1.5258789e-005];

};

Yes you can use a custom addon to load scripts. Just throw this (https://seafile.zombieapo.eu/f/50e38c2094/) addon in your @EpochHive/addons folder and your buildings will spawn ;)

 

Testing the following PBO file with scripts.

 

Vanilla mission and server PBO files.

Success!

Or, you can use that to convert SQM to SQF file : http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?97497-Sqf2Sqm-File-Converter-%28v0-7%29

[grafzahl]

Prove it

Take your Missionfile, create a init.sqf, write following code in it:

 

diag_log format ["CODE EXECUTED @ %1", time];

Save it, start your Server... look how often your Server and your client throws this line in the rpt-log. In your theorie the server should spam the log now every few seconds, in reality your client will write the log once every time you get from the lobby into the game, your server rpt will show the line once or twice when the server starts, then never again till the mission restarts.

Abit off topic to your release, but is there any SQM > SQF converters out there? because im only getting SQM formats with MCC + Zeus 3D editing.

[BlackPlague_81st]

Not a bit off topic at all Nexy.

 

For Arma 3? Not too sure :/

 

I use the 3D editor with Arma 3 to create my BIEDI files...

[Humpabry]

thats sqf to sqm not the other way round

[BlackPlague_81st]

Adding more buildings, but the Addons cannot be added to the mission.sqm at this time.

Will wait for update before adding in more tents, vehicles, and loots.

Download link in that thread is 404.

[Humpabry]

i put your file straight into my epochhive/addons folder and they do not show up.

 

any reason for this?

[Humpabry]

[BlackPlague_81st]

ok worked thank you for this mate very good work :)

 

Glad to hear it.

 

When Epoch is updated, there should be more vehicles. I'll update the PBO as I update.

[Humpabry]

ok very nice :)

[BlackPlague_81st]

Updated the mainbase.sqf for more camo nets, and more loot spawns.

 

Oh and a broken down plane on the runway.

 

 

** Update your mainbase.sqf in your PBO from the the following link **

 

https://github.com/pumpkinpieman/A3EpochBase/blob/master/a3_epoch_server_building/mainbase.sqf

 

 

Just updated - Please update again. /10:30pm EST
