make bases in editor with ingame objects?

[Dactyl]

yeah im pretty sure that is where all modular stuff is

 

im having this problem too, im pretty sure it has to do with what expansions you have enabled/ parameters 

[LancerSolurus]

Do you have Epoch turned on in the expansions? If not they won't show up in Objects (Fortifications). If you do it with the -mod setting in the shortcut with just the jon editor mod, Epoch isn't active. I find it easier just to activate both of them in the Expansion area.

If you load Epoch, like join a server then go yo the multi-player menu. Just Alt + E and load the map you want. Edit your stuff =)

You shouldent have to download any new content.

You can  buildings ruins etc .. but crafting items wood floors 1/4, 1/2, full, wood walls, wood walls w/windows, wood stairs , and cinder walls half and full , cinder door, cinder garage, , metal floors.. none of this is in the editor, I have seen bases built with these items, and the way the where laid it it was not done with normal 3d editor, it had to have been with crafting for part of it and  2d/3d editor for part of it.
So I know its possible, but I have yet to see these in editor under any category using any addon @Jon_EditorUpdate @AS  .. it most be possible to do so .. question is HOW ?

I know using NoxiSicarius Admin Tools EPOCH section, base building, you can covert stuff to sqf.. it gives you the code as is example
 

["WoodCrate_DZ",[1.14453,-1.92676,0.0133514],148.71],

["FireBarrel_DZ",[0.112305,-2.40918,-0.078352],179.291],  

 

and could take these and modify below to match 
POSITION [0.112305,-2.40918,-0.078352] and SetDir 179.291


Then just looking at the code from Ghosts of Chernarus sqf he has this 
 

_bldObj = objNull;

if (true) then

{

  _bldObj = createVehicle ["WoodFloor_DZ", [4028.3237, 11683.989, 2.730], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

  _bldObj setDir 16.71;

  _bldObj setPos [4028.3237, 11683.989, 2.730];

};

 

SO I would assume , but that can bite you square in the arse, that one could just do as I said, place map in the server, then use admin tools to place/build how you like and then manually add the code from GOC, and change the code and issue solved  ??

 

Such as in Ghosts of Chernarus add on maps




Sometimes Posting questions I figure it out as Im posting LOL .. Im just going to try this and see if it works lol.. Will make a seperate how to if it does lol
 

[BetterDeadThanZed]

Building supplies like wood floors and cinder walls are in the editor, under Objects (Fortifications).

[Fully]

Just do this =)

 

 

 

The hit ALT + E

load the map you want,

F10 add a center, add a group, add a unit to view.

 

Then edit away, here is the building stuff...

 

[Chainsaw Squirrel]

Will all of this extras pulled in here work ok on standard Epoch , with out causing missing crap , stuck in loading screen?
tried with just epoch, you get nothing .. the  @overwatch is the key, but still gonna be harder this way lol, add, save, look, fix, save, look, repeat lol 

I will prob try it both ways anyway lol, Im hard headed like that lol

 

And I wish somewhere , or if there is please post link .. a website that has all , with pics, Im learning where some is , but man a guide to code and pic would be great lol

[Chainsaw Squirrel]

Also still dont see wood walls, floors, or metal floors and some other in you pic..what categories are those in .. just in case Im overlooking

Like I said...

If you don't see them, then you aren't loading Epoch when you load the editor.

[Chainsaw Squirrel]

Finally found them , buried way down in there , but I still say that wasn't built with editor alone  :blink:

[2kohm]

you dont need any Editor mods!

 

look in the Survival Tab in editor! there you have all Epoch Crafting items!

Do you have a screenshot of this "survival tab"? Never heard of it and I've done LOTS of modifications to my servers.

[Chainsaw Squirrel]

Here is Survival Tab and my string to add in commander or launcher to pull up   "-mod=Expansion;@DayZ_Epoch1051;@Jon_EditorUpdate;@OA_Editor" -nosplash -emptyworld

Of Course you will need , for those that don't have  Jon-C5 Editor Update for the @Jon_EditorUpdate and the Drens OA Editor to match what I load.. but U dont have to have to get to these tabs, but without your missing a ton of cool stuff

To install :  unpack and copy the folders for these to your Steam Folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead

 

Of Course IF you are using a mix of Maps ( OVERPOCH ) Overwatch, Lingor, etc etc you will need to add those to your string @DayZOverwatch etc 

 

 

THE SURVIVAL TAB

LARGER VERSION

 

 

THE EPOCH BUILDABLES

The few items shown in that survival tab are available already without that addon. Obviously without looking through the whole list, I don't know if everything there is available elsewhere but I will look at it. I have the Jon addon already and I also have the MAP addon.
