great work man only can't open the map where i already was working on white the arma 3 3d editor

 

 

I would expect that since currently the two editors use different save formats.  With the stock editor you have to do a biedi to sqf conversion to get the correct code to add items to an existing map.  With this tool the conversion is done for you since the work you do is saved as sqf by default.  It saves a step that many people struggle with.  The downside though is that you can't start work in one and then import it into the other.  Support for that may be included at some point in the future but I wouldn't count on it.

I have a question about entering the custom buildings into my server. My config.cpp has all the buildings in this format:

{ "Land_CratesShabby_F", { 12910.4, 12768, 0.0017395 }, 245.684 },
{ "Land_GarbageBarrel_01_F", { 12914.8, 12763.5, -0.00370789 }, 182.87 },
{ "Land_HBarrier_5_F", { 12931.5, 12742.2, -0.338425 }, 264.829 },

However the SQF I get from the editor comes in this format:

{"Land_Hospital_main_F",{2546.63,5061.62,0},328,{{-0.529919,0.848048,0},{0,0,1}},false},
{"Land_Hospital_side1_F",{2533.43,5091.68,0},328,{{-0.529919,0.848048,0},{0,0,1}},false},
{"Land_Hospital_side2_F",{2528.26,5038.34,0.000335693},328,{{-0.529919,0.848048,0},{0,0,1}},false},
{"Land_Cargo_Tower_V2_F",{2463.89,5101.52,0},340.369,{{-0.335966,0.941874,0},{0,0,1}},false},

Do I have to edit every single line and remove the differences??

 

I also saved the other way but it came with no brakcets:

"Wall_IndCnc_4_F";202501;5021.56;59;0;0;1;-0.000442505;
"Wall_IndCnc_4_F";202504;5016.39;59;0;0;1;-0.000442505;
"zavora_2";202507;5025.38;59.8374;0;0;1;0;
"CncBarrierMedium_F";202502;5022.65;151.492;0;0;1;0.00012207;
"fortified_nest_small";202511;5031.06;331.132;0;0;1;-0.0379486;

I can't find any instructions anywhere and the HELP feature just has very basic controls. Thanks in advance!

Do a "Save" instead of "Save to SQF" and see how that looks.

 

I hit open to load my last map, i noticed all teh objects arent listed. But thats fine, I just want to get it working. When I click "save" I get a file with just:

Thank you Darth_Rogue!

 

Ok I editing it all one line at a time..... Repacked the PBO, uploaded it and restarted the server. Now the server doesn't load and I get this error, I am sure it is because I have placed my buildings in the wrong spot. Here is the error:

17:58:33 ManagerConfig()
17:58:34 Cannot register unknown string STR_USRACT_BULD_LOCK_ABSOLUTE_ELEVATION
17:58:48 Error context ] = {};

Here is my config.cpp: (You can see at the bottom "Tricks Custom Buildings"

Tricks -- Look at your spacing closely:

 

Good line:

                { "Land_HBarrier_5_F", { 12931.5, 12742.2, -0.338425 }, 264.829 },
                { "Land_HBarrier_5_F", { 12931.2, 12747.7, -0.208801 }, 264.774 },
                { "Land_HBarrier_5_F", { 12930.4, 12758.9, 0.141861 }, 84.8576 },
                { "Land_HBarrier_5_F", { 12930.8, 12753.3, -0.150925 }, 264.812 },

 

Bad line:
                // Tricks Custom Additions.
                { "Land_Hospital_main_F", { 2546.63, 5061.62, 0}, 328 },
                { "Land_Hospital_side1_F", { 2533.43, 5091.68, 0}, 328 },
                { "Land_Hospital_side2_F", { 2528.26, 5038.34, 0.000335693}, 328 },
                { "Land_Cargo_Tower_V2_F", { 2463.89, 5101.52, 0}, 340.369 },

 

Change it, and see if it works. That would be my guess.

Should I convert the 3rd coordinates all to 0?

Um, it depends on where you're placing your objects on the map. Personally what i do, i export to SQF and paste each coordinate line by line into the PBO config file. (because the export to SQF isnt in the same format as the PBO confi)

 

It worked last night for me, without issue. Just look closely at your spacing, that's the root cause of your issue. (i believe)

I exported the SQF and those are the coordinates it gave me... If I start adding numbers, I'm afraid all the map items will be distorted. I hope M3Editor2 could give us a hand...

How many decimal places is the last coordinate in your PBO?

Hey prone, I'm not sure what u mean by my spacing. I can see that the 3rd coordinate is a 0 in some cases and a 6 digit number in other cases. What should I do with them? Shorten them all or increase them all to match?

 

I see it..... Editing now.

Sure thing. I just took the names and coordinates. Didnt use anything else from my understanding of Darth_Rogue's install instructions.
