This is kind of cool that our terrain doesn't need any actual texture files in its pbo, it only references them from another pbo. In our layers.cfg we reference to tut_grass_green.rvmat material file, which again references to the actual texture found in a3\map_data\ directory. In this tutorial example we are using only one texture to keep it simple, but normal terrains use more, dozens more of these textures. What the above along with layers.cfg is doing is to show a3\map_data\gdt_grass_green_co.paa texture around your character on the ground. Texture = "a3\map_data\gdt_grass_green_co.paa" Texture = "a3\map_data\gdt_grass_green_nopx.paa"
VertexShaderID = "NormalMapDiffuseAlpha" Further out the satellite texture kicks in.īrowse to \tut\tut_tutorial_terrain\ and create a new directory called “Data”, so it becomes:Ĭreate a “tut_grass_green.rvmat” file there, open it in text editor and copy paste this:įorcedDiffuse = Ground Detail Textures (GDT) are more detailed than satellite texture, these textures appear close around your character. Do not follow that tutorial but read it as reference reading to expand your arma build environment knowledge. Now that tutorial of course is for arma but you need to read it to understand how the basics of addon building environment works. Where you again replace with your own steam library path where you installed steam DayZ tools.īack in ArmA (Armed Assault) times Synide created excellent tutorial about ArmA Build Environment. It is fairly easy, you can pretty much copy paste the launch parameters line from there. Start up terrain builder and then follow the buldozer configuration guide in ArmA 3 Buldozer page regarding terrain builder. We are not ready to do any terrain work yet, first we need to configure terrain builder. Guide on Installing Steam DayZ Tools and Setup Z: Drive.ĭo not skip setting up Z: drive properly, wrongly setup or missing P: drive is the most common cause of issues when developing addons.
L3DT TERRAIN DOWNLOADS INSTALL
You must install Mikero tools in order to get terrain properly in-game. For reference (but you don't have to read this now) satellite image resolution size explained covers how small or large satellites you need on difference sizes of terrains.īasic installation guide at Mikero Tools page. You cannot make proper arma3 terrain SATELLITE TEXTURES with 2048 resolution images.
L3DT TERRAIN DOWNLOADS FREE
Make a note that free version only allows heightmaps and satellite texture/masks up to 2048 grid/resolution. You are fine downloading the free version.
L3DT TERRAIN DOWNLOADS TRIAL
元DT comes in limited free version, 90 day trial and professional commercial version.
At the moment of writing this tutorial the free version is v16.05.
Installing using the 元DT installer is easy, not much more to say about it. Do not use it, use Mikero Tools pboProject instead (we'll cover this in Binarization part). Experienced community members jokingly have named Addon Builder a “Addon Breaker”. Note: Addon Builder should not be used to binarize and pack your addon because it does not work properly, it has problems binarizing RVMAT files and textures used from configs. 元DT is used in this tutorial to create three different sets of files (more about it later). Mikero Tools are required for all kinds of DayZ related editing. Most arma3 modders use Photoshop or GIMP to edit their images. You need a good text editor, image editor, Mikero Tools, 元DT and obviously steam DayZ tools.ĭo not ever use windows notepad or wordpad to edit text files.
