Out of all the things I've helped people with getting thier tools operational, it's that they don't notice this check-box and a lot of frustration comes out of it, when in essence they haven't done anything wrong bar uncheck this box.

If they compare their settings window with the one in step 2, they will notice the "Use default" box is unchecked. I get what you mean tho when I wrote this tutorial, I was about to put it in bold red but it got out of my mind.

> This is not part of the tutorial, for the roads to show up you need to define correct path in editor.sqs as you said, also a roads config file (\data\roads\RoadsLib.cfg) is needed and of course assign road type to your polylines (using database feature).

notes: there might be some other A3 pbos that you might need, especially for terrain making, but for what is worth, you can unpack these manually and keep what you need to be kept in the A3 folders as it is (my case)

To be precise, I hope, you mean C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\arma3.exe, right? Furthermore, if it's installed on a different drive, like E in my case, then it should point to E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\arma3.exe, correct? should there be any other commands in the options. eg: -window, -buldozer, etc?

Can anyone point to a link for buldozer command modifiers, or if it's a short list just post them? My buldozer opens in a 4:3 window, but my ArmA3 is set up for 16:9, so all the assets in buldozer look scrunched together. Hopefully there's a modifier for that.

Hello Hoverguy I have recently installed everything but it seems I am missing a rvmat for cars which the body.rvmat I searched for it on my computer but I still can't find it at all, i tried reinstalling everything but still the same thing is there anyway I can download it from a google drive or something please help and thanks on the tutorial on how to install your P Drive.

Thanks mate that worked straight away appreciate all the help you gave you should be apart of the Bis Team as you seem to have better knowledge than most there and fix alot of the problems keep up the good work :)

So, I have been having trouble with some of the dev tools (futuratop.bat) and 3rd party tools (mikeros pboproject). Turns out it is because the value in the registry key at "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 3\main" is set to the wrong value. In my case it should be "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3" but was "D:\Steam Games\Arma 3". I corrected this manually and fixed my issues.

You can edit the mission.sqm by first unpacking the pbo then putting the unpacked folder into documents\arma3-otherprofiles\name\missions if that dont work try putting it in steam\steamapps\common\arma3\missions but after that is done do the same with a mission.sqm that already has safezones and such, it dont matter if its on another map. then you open your game click editor then find the map that you need. DONT click continue to go into the editor, you want to press ctrl+o and that will open the 2d editor. after that select a safezone/concretemixer/spawn and the player markers that are in purple and put them near each other. select them and copy paste. Then goto open and start editing it on the prefered map. this is a link of a video that showed me. just remember to edit the sqm to include the play=cdg like they did in the video otherwise there wont be any slots on your server.

The map is extremely useful for planning and coordination purposes. One of our main methods of conveying information to other players is via using "map markers" to indicate points of interest, waypoints, objectives, landing zones, enemy positions, and more.

Reading a map is easy once you know the basics of it. The main thing to remember is that the grids must be read right, and then up. See the following screen for an illustration of how it works. Due to the fact that the map grid is composed entirely of numbers, it's important that you do not transpose them, else you're likely to send someone far, far away from where you needed them to go.

Note that depending on the map zoom, you may see two, three, or even four numbers per horizontal or vertical grid. This reflects the precision of the coordinate. For example, a six-digit grid (3+3) defines a square that is 100 meters on a side. A four-digit grid (2+2) defines a square that is one kilometer on a side. An eight-digit grid is 10 meters on a side, while a ten digit grid is 1 meter on a side.

Depending on the difficulty settings and mods used, you may have a mouse-over tooltip that displays the elevation and six-digit grid of wherever your cursor is. While this is a handy tool, knowing how to read grids correctly is an essential skill to have.

Since the arma map does not have more than 3 figures the most accurate grid one can give is 100m2, but by imagining a the lines inside the 6 figure grid, we can produce a 8 figure (or even 10) figure grid reference by guessing the approximate line inside both axis. Eight figure grid references are essential for communicating fire support where accuracy within 10 meters or less is essential.

Arma 3 features a grid scale that dynamically scales based upon how zoomed in or zoomed out you are. This scale shows both a linear distance guide and a contour interval guide. The contour interval means that each contour line represents x-meters of vertical space. Thus, if there are three contour lines of difference between your position and another position, you multiply that number times the contour scale to come up with the amount of vertical difference between the positions.

Note also that the numbers scattered around the map indicate points of elevation. These occur either at the top of a protrusion (such as a hill) or the bottom of a depression (such as a valley). When communicating map locations over voice chat, numbered hills can be referred to as "Hill 123". Pay attention to whether a specific hill can be seen from zoomed-out view or if someone must zoom-in to the map for it to appear, as this can be confusing to players if not specified. If the terrain you're in is very hilly, ensure you're specific about which one you mean - oftentimes there will be multiple points of elevation with the same altitude.

The compass is graduated three ways: The first and simplest is via the cardinal North, South, East, and West directions. After that it is graduated in degrees - 0 to 359. This is the inner, larger set of numbers, and should be used when calling out specific target bearings. The final outer set of measurements are known as "Mils", and generally do not have a use aside from communicating with artillery units. In the event that you do ever use mils as a direction call, remember that the numbers need two zeros after them. The "2" marker on the outer ring is actually 200 mils, for example.

Note also that the Arma compass has illumination on it for better readability at night. Also note that the compass, like other gear items, may or may not be available based on the player loadout in a mission. Also, in Arma 3, the compass can take a moment or two to fully stabilize once it has been turned.

Remember: When calling out bearings on a radio to think about the postion of the units on that frequency. Bearings are best used via direct chat, as anyone who hears you will be able to quickly locate the target.

The essence of DePew is to extract object, template, and elevation information and present in a text form that is usable by external tools such as L3dt, 'worldtools', Excel, and of course feedback into DePew, with altered heights or etc. Formats that Depew supports range from Pose57(Xbox Elite) thru to Pose60 (a2/Arrowhead). There is currently limited support for ofp. While much of what DePew does can also be done by 02Script, DePew is blindingly fast. DePew.exe also consolidates various other deprecated exes (such as CreatePewObjects) into one umbrella.
