machine6fd Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 @Humpabry I figured out a way to add more buildings. I hate the hidden editor its not nearly as easy to use but it works. If MCC and zues saved to SQF it would be a lot better. Anyway if there is a need i will add a tutorial video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calamity Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 so how do I call the custom building ?? Install: Place the file into your @EpochHive/Addons folder. is that all just place it in that folder and not call it anywhere ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the files inside of the PBO, the mod calls the files externally. Thus, creating a system where people can't steal the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackPlague_81st Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 It would be in the PBO file my good man. You can also check the GIT link above for more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this i have a like comming to you shortly :D That is correct. In order for this to be loaded, you would have to restart the server. It does take a bit more time, but it usually does pass within a moment. Updating some of the buildings this weekend, so stay tuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackPlague_81st Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Awesome workaround. :D GZA was able to figure out how to call the custom buildings with out the scripts being in the Mission PBO. This in turn helps servers keep their files safe, so that others can't steal them :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Solem Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 You'll have to move this Almyra-base in 0.2.5.2 my friend as the new "spawn island" now is pretty much exactly where your base is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this was more-or-less just a test for the alpha release, and for something for people to go on in order to build their own bases. I'll be moving this to an island region anyway. This base was intended for testing purposes only. Next release will be a jail house :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Solem Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 So, is there a 3D editor available somewhere for Arma 3, coz doing stuff like this seems to be almost impossible in the 2d-editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPlague_81st Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 So, is there a 3D editor available somewhere for Arma 3, coz doing stuff like this seems to be almost impossible in the 2d-editor. There is. Follow this tutorial: Launch Arma 3, and launch the editor. Save the map as a user mission, and then close down Arma 3 completely. Go to your Mission FOLDER. IE - May be in Documents\Arma 3\User Missions\ And create a new file called *missionName*.BEIDI Must match your mission.SQM FILE NAME! Just create a .BEIDI file with the same name really. // Create a shortcut of your Arma3.exe to your desktop. Right click on the shortcut, and go to properties. at the END of your shortcut path, i.e. - C:\program files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Arma3\ Add the location of your .BEIDI File. For example Arma3.exe Properties> "C:\program files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Arma3\" "C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Arma 3\Missions\Somemissionname\missionname.BEIDI" Click apply, okay. Launch the SHORTCUT. You should be able to go directly into the editor now. calamity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Solem Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 "G:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3.exe" "E:\Documents\Arma 3\missions\lol.Altis\mission.beidi"Launch Arma 3, it loads, then I get to the Epoch-information screen, click "close" and then am at the regular menu. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold ALT to change the height of the object, either in the air or in the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calamity Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I added the file mainbase.sqf to @EpochHive\addons\buildings as instructed and nothing else as instructed where can I find the base on the map so I can see it spawned ???

You were to download the PBO, which is here: https://seafile.zombieapo.eu/f/50e38c2094/ Then place the PBO in @EpochHive\Addons folder. You can find the base at "Almyra", near the top left hand corner of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
