cthulhu68 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Surprised there isn't anything like this yet. Would be nice to have wall sections in short and tall, straight and curved for building basecamps or artillery positions or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 +1 Static objects could do with a makeover, HESCO walls, FARP configurations, FOB building blocks (walls, towers, fences, sandbags blah blah blah) but for me further down - I don't want 2.5 delayed by a single solitary second.

Mig Fulcrum Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 To build something like what you want we need a 3d mission editor like ArmA 3's one, it is impossible to do it with the current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooom Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 yeah i was just saying this yesterday. I'd love to see some new desert additions brought in ... things like cave entrances, desert outpost/firebase structures... these would all add quite a bit to potential desert CAS operations for SoH/ Nevada ASUS Tuf Gaming Pro x570 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @ 3.8 / XFX Radeon 6900 XT / 64 GB DDR4 3200 "This was not in the Manual I did not read", cried the Noob" - BMBM, WWIIOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted January 2, 2018 ED Team Share Posted January 2, 2018 To build something like what you want we need a 3d mission editor like ArmA 3's one, it is impossible to do it with the current one. Yeah, it would be near impossible to stack or combine objects into a wall currently, would be better to have different types of already completed walls and such, or a 3D ME, but not sure of the work that would need to be done for that.

Northstar98 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Yeah, it would be near impossible to stack or combine objects into a wall currently, would be better to have different types of already completed walls and such, or a 3D ME, but not sure of the work that would need to be done for that. I'm guessing a lot just looking at EDEN as a reference (I know we're not supposed to discuss other software but just using it as a reference for comparison) - I mean something like that would be perfect. Stacking objects meh, more for the creative amongst us who are prepared to spend a little more time creating stuff - more for a 3D editor though. I was thinking more along the lines of completed walls (different types, heights, dimensions, left and right corners, rounded sections, watchtower types, different FARP types (single helipad for instance) more tent variants stuff like that - which doesn't rely as heavily on a 3D editor. Speaking of 3D editors I swear an ED member said one is under consideration or is in progress, I'll just find the post. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3143048&postcount=11142 So something may be planned Edited January 4, 2018 by Northstar98 Found it (though it's in Russian) Modules I own: F-14A/B, Mi-24P, AV-8B N/A, AJS 37, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

I think ME improvements are planned, but no real information has been given or revealed yet. I know that 3D editors are a big wish list among the community for a long time, and the improvements ED is making should allow for it eventually.

Buzzles Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Yeah, it would be near impossible to stack or combine objects into a wall currently, would be better to have different types of already completed walls and such, or a 3D ME, but not sure of the work that would need to be done for that. OR In the ME you just draw an articulated line or a polygon, set it as a type (eg, sandbags, gabions (HESCO) etc..), maybe the height, and have a bit of procedural generation going on behind the scenes to generate the simple 3d mesh and collider. It's not like it's not done this way in many other games, 3d editors, etc... Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 RAnger79's mod pack contains HESCO walls in different lengths, barbed wire, checkpoints and such, you might want to check it out.

Mars Exulte Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Stacking objects would be less than ideal. DCS is much larger scale than Arma already :p We don't need to balloon the object count with thousands of sandbags lol Sone prebuilts would be fine, though. There are a handful already, ZSU-23-2 gun emplacement for example has a sandbag barrier.

Hawkeye60 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I could create some sandbag walls if you guys wish. Corners, straight and damaged, ie: falling over They would have collision files only. Yes? No? Also, not to change the subject, How about German Artillery Bunkers, placed upon the Normandy cliffs. They were used to shell the incoming ships on D-Day. The allies sent Rangers in to destroy them before the invasion. A great book about this is "Dog Company, The boys of Point du Hoc" Highly recommended! (I have six of these in progress. I need to get them to fire Large cannons! Currently they only fire machine guns.) They are based on the actual bunkers. "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3D Editor would be awesome but even something like this would be a huge improvement. I could create some sandbag walls if you guys wish.

The WWII Asset Pack has naval gun bunkers already. Maybe you could get your artillery functioning using files from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
