Arma forest generator

[ZeroG]

I agree but we're using different technologies. It will be not so simple. Leo is using dos interfaces, homer is using arma and me graphic gui.
Maybe a unique menu for leo tools can be useful

Yeah, you're right. Actually it is funny to see tools from ARMA 1 times re-produced and improved..like Homer's approach reminds me of 3DE and your approach of the Mask Mapper 2

Although there are 3 tools with overlapping features, each of them has different benefits for different purposes, like Homer's 3D approach for example is great for finetuning and giving LIFE to the map (just look at the stunning beauty and detail of the 3DE island)...

Using this one generator I'm dreaming of won't be enough. It might be a really great help for large areas of woods, basic road networks, basic city shapes, BUT for nothing more, as not any GIS-data is either way freely available on the net OR has been archived (like walls, fences and such)

Therefore, after the use of the generator, one would have to really look on the map and give his personal touch to it...rotate objects, add stuff like bus-stops and such...i.e. making it look real and thus creating an awesome immersion...and for THIS purpose your's and Homer's tools would have their finest hour then!

Furthermore, for a complete fantasy island one wouldn't use the generator, I guess...

So basically, what we are talkin about are at least 2 tools (for realistic maps):

1. A generator using large scale GIS information, working on a routine like the "import terrain from xyz"-option in Visitor for creating the "big picture"..

2. A detail-in-game 3D object editor for adding "life, immersion and the editor's personal touch"

I have a little problem with importing my trees. I have about 25% of objects rejected and my forest contour looks like it's flipped horizontally. Can someone tell me how exactly .txt file with list of objects should look like ? I mean both .txt files - the one exported from Visitor (waypoints for forest countur) and the one generated by tool (to import to Visitor). Just a simple demo please if somebody could post it I would be very happy. BTW the tool seems to be the best way to create forests

Bartchie, thanks for feedback, you're the first who truly launched and tested this tool. Flip removed, first post updated (v1.0.0.1).

[Bartchie]

Thank you very much for update, Leopotam. I'm doing the forest part of my island for now so I think your tool will be much better than all other forest creators/generators.
EDIT: Because I have better abilities of controlling amount of trees

C'mon people, this looks like a great tool yet he's had under 20 downloads total from the links he provided

And 85 in total from Armaholic.
Keep in mind this is a specific tool for island makers, as far as I know there are not 100's of island makers in this community

I Agree
we're making software that probably will never goes out of those 20-30 active island makers, but those software will probably be one of the best tools for the island makers that will release islands that will be downloaded thousand of times.
I think it's a small but big satisfaction and in my case i personally use my own (and your one) software to make my island, with great satisfaction

That's true, I noticed the downloads on armaholic after I posted that. Just showing my support anyway.

Development stopped due to not using this tool by community.

P.S. Topic may be closed.

Please Leopotam, dont crack a sad and stop your various wonderful projects.
There a many good people here who want to make islands for the community, and so few tool makers like yourself.
With tools like yours, there is a chance more people will start making terrain addons.
