Initial WIP announcement:

Oh noes, not ANOTHER building addon...

Yes, tru dat, but this is different, as the intention for this project is not to give island makers new toys, but to give the people that play the game some serious new toys tailored to their needs.
So what I am talking about? Killhouses!

This addon will bring a variety of new and fully walkable buildings for your disposal.
All the buildings come with:

• Animated and destroyable doors
• Breachable wall segments
• High fidelity Fire Geometry LOD, so no small invisible bullet barriers anymore + proper bullet penetration
• Rooms and halls wide enough to cope well with A2's dodgy collision detection
• A fairly high overall quality
• Complete path-LOD (Building positions and the like)

Less talk, more pictures:

This is a small one story building divided into several rooms.
Stairs allow access to the roof. Note the blown-up door. An M1014 Pellet shot usually does the job of breaching open a door.

All the window shutters (26 to be precise) are animated, which means you can open and close them, if you like. A small hallway gives access to the first floor.

A two story building, full of rooms, some with windows. Also a ladder allows access to the roof.

A shooting house (Correct term?). Simple structure for the very basic.

Naturally more to come.

Now, I would like some help with this project.

If you have some good reference pictures of kill houses, or even better entire floor plans, please share them with me. If you have particular ideas about what the new buildings should look like, be built like or have any special features, please let me know! I made already contact with some MilSim units, and they were most helpful.
But I wouldn't want to keep this project from the rest of the community and pretend to be elitist about it. So hence this thread.

Also, along with this addon, I am planning to release a small 2x2km training terrain (Oh noes, not again!!!111eleven. Yes, I know...) with several kill house cities. If you have ideas about how the killhouse-cities should be laid out, and what other buildings besides my killhouses should be used, and what the entire terrain should look like, this is the thread to let me know.

To sum up all this: Now is wish-hour. You tell me your wish, and I'll see what I can do to this addon project.

Your Spot on from what I remember training with at San Luis Obispo, Fort Polk, and Camp Bullis. They were center block construction with wooden doors. The only thing that is not presented was the sewer system.

[Archosaurusrev]

This is actually pretty cool.

[Ei8ght]

awesome

[NoRailgunner]

Would be good if you can add backyards, compounds, small alleyways and some bigger buildings perhaps with basement + rofftop terrace. Ah and don't forget to add a connection/entrance between a few buildings - something that will keep players stressed while clearing rooms.
Btw is it possible to add some working + switchable ceiling lights/lamp into certain rooms/hallways?

.

Can never have too many buiding addons. Especialy ones with the MBG prefix

Thank you.

Sounds awesome, Ravenshield environments for ARMA; perfect place to use ACE's teargas and gasmasks!

Obvious question from someone a mission designer who has no idea about map making; please add lots of AI waypoints (even per room), for both support of random building positions, as well as the various building patrol scripts out there. Assuming you do this in the map making phase!

And please ensure that AI cannot accidentally walk off the roof, as is known to happen with certain OA buildings: AI using any kind of urban or building patrol script will eventually suicide of the roof, which is very frustrating!

Looks awesome!

[Mr Burns]

Nice project, thumbs up! breaching will be awesome

Something like moutmckenna map in AA:3 would be nice - it´s quite well balanced for pvp aswell.

...as the intention for this project is not to give island makers new toys, ...

WHAT!!! Those houses are exactly what I need to make my Ft. Benning and Ft. Irwin maps perfect. Really looking forward to these beauties.

BTW: If you need images of MOUT areas/houses I can provide you a bunch of images of the buildings from the McKenna Urban Training Site.
