| + | **Satellite Import Image Format** | ||
| + | |||
| + | BMP will import fastest, but your limited to a 2gb filesize. PNG is slower importing due to the compression, TIFF/GEOTIF is good for larger masks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Global Mapper or QGis** | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can use [[http://www.globalmapper.com/|Global Mapper]] (or other GIS software like [[http://qgis.org/|QGis]]) to open roads.shp in A3/map_stratis/data/roads. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You need to create your own road shape file shp and add it to the map config. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Global Mapper might save your shp, prj and dbf table wrong, you might check for some other tools for example QGis what can give you better results. | ||
| + | |||
| + | From [[http://openstreetmap.org|OpenStreetMap]] you can extract portions of road networks that would go straight in your terrain. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Terrain Builder** | ||
| + | |||
| + | With the DevBranch ArmA3.exe as buldozer there is a new brush called "Brush tool (height set)". | ||
| + | |||
| + | It can be enabled with active brush by press and holding "c". You can select a height with the right mouse button (isvalid is now true). And the exact height is applied instantly to the terrain by pressing left mouse. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Short: | ||
| + | * Hold "C" for Brush tool (height set). | ||
| + | * RMB -> set / pick height. | ||
| + | * LMB -> apply height / level terrain | ||
| + | |||
| + | About roads from Bushlurker: | ||
| + | |||
| + | you can shift roads from one layer to another by drag selecting the whole layer - then in the properties panel theres a popdown for all the available layers - you can use that to merge layers by choosing a different layer from the list | ||
| + | |||
| + | so you could be drawing different type roads on different layers, then merging them into a single common layer for export | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Addon Builder** | ||
| + | |||
| + | As of //2014-06-22// addon builder either from stable or dev branch doesn't work. You have to download the older version AddonBuilder_67083.exe from http://tom4897.info/?attachment_id=2273 | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Random Info** | ||
| + | |||
| + | Altis terrain from default ArmA 3 has object count: 1,779,883 | ||
| + | |||
| + | **ArmA 3 Topography Command** | ||
| + | |||
| + | topography exports with grid lines, this is the old method from arma/arma2. **ExportNoGrid** exports without grid lines, this is new for arma3. | ||
