Uriah Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Hello, I have been trying to figure out if it is currently possible to create new custom terrain maps and DCS World. I have recieved mixed messages and I am wondering if there is anyone out there who can definitively answer this question and explain why/why not. (Yes we are all waiting for anticipating EDGE) But until then...? Regards, -Uriah

(Yes we are all waiting for anticipating EDGE) But until then...? Regards, -Uriah The tools are not out, nor do we know what they can do, what they can import, etc, etc... you could probably start early planning, collecting data, even start building models of buildings and such (with the idea that you may need to adjust later on)... for instance you were the one talking about the Washington map, start building those land marks, start collecting reference photos of airfields, and their buildings... etc.... there is probably alot you can do ahead of time to be one step ahead of the release.... You could even go as far as importing buildings and objects into the current map just to get a feel for them...

NRG-Vampire Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 afaik you can create terrain maps - not easy but possible of course with the future sdk/terrain tool it will be more easy - if it ever becomes public then you should start with nas whidbey island
Uriah Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 Hey NRG-Vampire: Can you elaborate on and or substantiate your claim? I found this page ( http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/All_about_land ) and am working with their 3d Studio Max plugins just like any other 3rd Party Developer would, and by the way I already have a tiny map working in DCS World, but it is very small. In about two days I will be able to refute these claims that it is not possible to develop custom terrain maps. Any info you can provide, like, resources, etc... would be highly valuable. The thread for my Washington State map project is: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=119560 You can leave your reply there if you would like. -Uriah

ED Team NineLine Posted January 24, 2014 ED Team Posted January 24, 2014 All available resources are for the current Terrain Engine, you probably dont want to use any of that as it will all probably be no good once EDGE comes out.

NRG-Vampire Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Can you elaborate on and or substantiate your claim? unfortunately i dont know exactly how this made but this is a new wip island in dcsw as you know all terrains/maps are floating on dcs-sea Edited January 24, 2014 by NRG-Vampire
TkER Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Can be made addon terrain without edge tools The image NRG-Vampire posted is made by N3D developer team This is the last version: It's Pantelleria isle, but all can be made. How to is reserved to N3D Developers for now
Roadrunner Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 that looks awesome, any chance this one will be released for the public? its just the kind of small (training) map i would like to have.... regards, RR [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "There's nothing to be gained by second guessing yourself.

aaron886 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Wow, that's news! Last I checked it was not possible to export LSA3...
diveplane Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 awesome let the maps roll out plz. https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.

camsr Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 awesome let the maps roll out plz. I don't think they can, most likely a violation of the EULA if they make it public.
NRG-Vampire Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I don't think they can, most likely a violation of the EULA if they make it public. eula of what ? they can release it if they want because they made it - afaik that was Markindel and you can use edm files as well - not only lsa3 or sup3 extensions
Uriah Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 I already have a working map that I built. It is tiny, but it works well. I will post a small working map that you guys can fly within the next couple weeks. Still have to figure out how to release it as a mod. Anyways, it can be done, end of story. That is why I made this a separate thread from my Washington State project thread because I didn't want it to be overrun by a debate. I'll keep you guys posted on my progress. If any one would like to collaborate message me! Regards, Uriah

Thought it might have required reverse engineering ED's IP.
ED Team NineLine Posted January 26, 2014 ED Team Posted January 26, 2014 Sorry, I don't know how the terrain data works. Thought it might have required reverse engineering ED's IP. No I believe they made information and tools available to the public about creating terrain in the old engine some time ago, I cant imagine this would effect anything like the EULA at all... but I am no lawyer either :) Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**

The LSA2 to LSA3 batch file is on the first DCS A-10C Beta but without exe file. So ED can share but don't want... But is true you can use EDM + lua. Edited January 26, 2014 by T@kER

Please inform yourself before writing. Thanks Mario (markindel)
