 ArmA 3 modeling. 3D model file extension is P3D and bis changed to use type 70 P3D file format, old ArmA 2 tools (like Oxygen 2) most likely wont work anymore. ArmA 3 modeling. 3D model file extension is P3D and bis changed to use type 70 P3D file format, old ArmA 2 tools (like Oxygen 2) most likely wont work anymore.

 Use powergrep to search it. Include files: *.p3d, action type: simple search and search type: binary data. You must turn the texture name into HEX codes, you cant just search the real texture name. Use powergrep to search it. Include files: *.p3d, action type: simple search and search type: binary data.

 +===== Decals =====
 +
 +Object builder P3D property, On surface and Decal are not needed anymore.
 +
 +{{ https://pmc.editing.wiki/images/Object-Builder-Face-Properties.png }}
 +
 +Just use named properties from below.
 +
 +Decal Named Properties:\\
 +class = land_decal\\
 +map = hide
 +
 +But make sure your rvmat dont have procedural texture that turns it into red :-)

 +===== Building Object Draw Distance =====
 +
 +HOWTO increase your building object draw distance for terrains by Opteryx
 +
 +First inherit Land_spp_Tower_F, then have this in the config:
 +<code cpp>
 +accuracy = 1000;
 +featureSize = 100;
 +featureType = 2;
 +</code>
 +Then these named properties in Geometry:
 +{{ https://pmc.editing.wiki/images/ArmA-3-Building-Object-Draw-Distance-Geometry.png }}
 +
 +This only applies for max 500 static objects per terrain.
