Scenery Tools available! [Old / For FC2]

I'm still a little confused on even getting the plugins working. Any help on setting them up to even work?

Blaze, what part is confusing you?

I have added the entry for airfields:

please provide feedback if this information makes sense or not

Setting up the plugins to work in max. With the DEBUG and RELEASE thing i couldn't get the export functions in max, i got the script file imported fine, but when trying to export the sample airport included i didn't have the formats i needed. I think i didn't set it up right so max isn't finding the plugins.

give me a day to mess with things and get some screenshots for you

ahhh. I should have read your message in more detail when you said you couldent find the format to export. You dont export it through the normal file -> export. You do it through the plugins on the right side.

red is step one. click it to bring up the options below

blue is the second step. click it and then browse to the .lsa2 file

pink is the third step. click on this, and then save it in the .rn format

Let me know if you have any more questions.

thanks for the screenshots, this is what i was unclear about:

Installing plug-ins:

-unpackplugin and the script in any folder.

-files Eagle3dmaxPlugin.ini specify the path to your plugins (for release\debag should be separate files)

-file run_DEBUG_x86.bat and run_RELEASE_x86.bat type the appropriate path to 3dsmax.exe and Eagle3dmaxPlugin.ini for debag\release.

-3dsmax run through the files run_DEBUG_x86.bat and run_RELEASE_x86.bat.

I actually just manually copied the files into the folders. But that max script might be doing something in addition to simply coping the files over. Try this to see if the files have been put into the right folder:

First image, click on whats circled in red:

Second, Click the box thing on the right that is circled in red:

Third, scroll down in the list and see if you have the things listed that are circled in red:

That's what I tried first. I tried manually copying the files to the plugins folder in max but when i start it it says can't load this plugin and that plugin etc. then i went to where you said to find them and they weren't listed. Also the instructions said they were for 3ds max 2008 only. Is that true, or can they be used in 3ds max 7 with the lom exporter plugins? Also which set should i use, the DEBUG or RELEASE? Also i think it may be because I'm using a 64bit version of 2008. Gonna install the 32bit and see if that helps.

Ok got them working. Should've noted that they only work with 32-bit max versions. ;) However when i export i get to 99% and then 3ds max crashes.:helpsmilie:

Thanks Wags! Hopefully the creating airfields section will see the same kind of attention in the near future! :thumbup:

Can you look over that and let me know which parts need be explained more? Its hard for me to have an outside perspective since I have been using these tools for a while now.

Thanks Hawg11 and luckybob9, great work! Looking forward to the Nevada terrain. :)

Grate. Is it possible to put LOMAC buildings and trees on this new terrains that will be worked on ?

yepp. Thats actually very simple because the model is already created, textured, and has a damage model assigned to it. It is as simple as creating a plane in the runways file and naming it to whatever the model filename is.

Hi,

I began to work on a new ground : The North of Afghanisthan

First render of a 40km square

I have some problems with the plungins install, i have a 127 code error on all the ED plugins when 3dsmax8 start.

Any ideas ?

I saw also there is or there will be a new forum for 3rd party developers ?

The plugins only work with 3ds max version 2008, not version 8

Ok thanks, that works with 2008.

Some question enough :

What is the maximal size of a map on DCS ?

I have a ground with no sea. How many squares of 40km can i put ?

Wow, looks amazing Batou! :thumbup:

Looking forward to your terrain!

Hey Batou, this is great!

I can’t wait to fly a mission against insurgents on your terrain! :thumbup:

What mesh-data do you use? What is the resolution (1m x 1m or 10m x 10m or 50m x 50 m or ...)?

Would be great if it was better than it is in the standard map.

And what data do you use for texturing? Real-world satellite-data?

Would be great to get a photorealistic scenario.

Thanks for choosing Afghanistan! I think this could be a great base for some realistic kinds of missions!

The resolution of the mesh data is from the radar shuttle of Endeavor.

The resolution is about 1 pixel for 90m

The textures are from satelite imagery. The resoltion is about 1 pixel for 30m

But i will probalbly rework the texture for more details.

I hope the scene will be the most realistic than we can do in DCS.

I choose this region :

http://maps.google.fr/maps?ll=37.340979,67.228083&z=7&hl=fr&t=h

And there a render of a 320km by 200km of the scenery.

Afghanistan is very large, and we can't put all this country and his neighbours.

This is a list of country i hope we will have in this map :

- Afghanistan (in the map)

- Turkeministan (in the map)

- Ouzbekistan (in the map)

- Tadjikistan (in the map)

- Russia

- China

- India

- Pakistan

- Iran

- USA

This a list of airport we will have :

Ouzbekistan: Termez, Kakaydy, Sariasiya

Afghanistan : Mazar-e-sharif, Badakhshan

Tadjikistan : Dushanbe, Moskovskiy, Parkhar, Kulyab
