Cartographie pour Armed Assault

Comme vous avez put le remarquer je n'ai pas continué ma série de tutoriels en français. Ceci pour deux raisons:

- la première c'est que j'ai moins de temps à consacrer à Armed Assault avec ma rentrée.

- la seconde qui est bien plus intéressante c'est qu'Alex.Sworn le bienconu germanique nous prépare un tutoriel entièrement traduit en anglais !

Et attachez vous bien: Un logiciel de création de carte.

Que savons nous de ce logiciel ?

Voilà la traduction de honchoblack sur le forum officiel http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?s=bb9ff8e89ec48c5119b2d9085e19c6d5;act=ST;f=70;t=68563;st=30, elle même tirée d'un forum germanophone: http://deadeye.pytalhost.com/manual/index.php?topic=252.0

"Weekend is over and I desperatly need a vacation. I still kept working though. Work continues on the Island tool. Since many people took interest and many questions were raised as well es expectations, now we have something to look at.This process works as followed. From the sattelite data and a nice arial picture sattelite map and terrain is generated. It only takes mere seconds. Now the program dictates how many and which Detail maps (textures? rem. Honcho) are used. The Layer map is generated automaticly. The config and the collection of the other data is generated as well (Texture config for the textures etc.). The result is a folder with the data and a file folder in which the other parts are saved.Now its possible to draw on the satelite map, every colour can be assigned to a specific group or a single object. Whole regions can be automaticly placed with objects (forrest etc.). This works with the predefined ground colours of the map. Further its possible to place single p3ds, like in Visitor (no enhancement here). But a clear benefit is the tool to manualy terraform the ground. Pick a point, enter the value and click with the mouse (this change can be best be compared to wrptool). But further enhancements regarding the terraforming are included, like smoothen the hights and hight dependency based on neighbouring points (kind of like erosion option in wrptool rem. Honcho).This weekend I also added a funcional road tool. With that it will be possible to finally be able to place roads. The BI tool doesnt seem to work.Further I added a tool to duplicate objects (in coordenace to heading or xy, further options are planned). This is helpfull if you want to place objects in a row (landing lights).Further tools are planned, like a tool that will allow the placement of fences. Draw a line free hand square, ring or elipse.*Pictures showing sattelite maps and their implementation into ARMA*What I always wanted to say.I really got the press the fact that its frustating that we dont get any support from BI. Questions are not answered, we recieve no information. May it be formats, files or anything else. Even the offers, like the fixing of things on the QG island (floating objects, etc.) are taken up friendly but forgotten 3 days later, and noone seems to remember. Even offers to create whole new islands are one day regarded so the other day so. A well, just leave it be. Even BI should realize that people are starting to get turned down and down feel like creating anything anymore. And it slowly gets impossible to keep on going. Specially since other firms are making tempting offers."

Reprenons dans la langue de Molière les principaux points de cette traduction. La façilité et la rapidité de création sont les principaux avantages du programe. On place les textures sattelites et tout est généré en quelques secondes et automatiquement ! (WAOU !). Les couleurs du masque sont créées automatiquement. On peut attribuer des objets à des couleurs et ainsi "remplir la carte très rapidement". Les routes sont gérées ! On peut dupliquer des objets. Un outil construit des barrières... Bref, tout y est. C'est un quasi miracle.

Aucune date de sortie n'est prévue pour l'instant, mais le logiciel est d'ors et déjà opérationel. Pour preuve, quelques screens créés à l'aide de ce bijoux !
