MastahBastah HNY 2018 1 Posted January 19, 2019 Hello, iam new to making maps and realy want to get into it. Iam kinda running into a problem allready. I managed to make a map from scratch with many thanks to matthew longtime. I set up my P drive, got bulldozer working and so on. The thing is, i dont want to work with a map from scratch. I found a nice place in my country i want to use for a map. Found it on google maps, made a screenshot and saved it as .png I tried some things to add this image to terrain builder with no succes. Adding this image to L3DT does something, but from here on i dont know what to do if anyone can help me getting on track would be highly appriciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Funkdoc 46 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) i recommend reading arma3 terrainbuilder tutorials... with l3dt u only make the 3d model /other needed img of ur map. u have to import the satellite image to terrainbuilder.. and dont even think of using such google maps sat-images like this one for editing... u need high resolution images with more than 20,000 pixel width if u want it to look like IRL. if u decide to use real sat-img, remember that every house and other buildings/things can cause ugly ground colors, because the sat img is faded over the ground texture... means in this case u have to do alot of repainting work Edited January 22, 2019 by Funkdoc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make the map the same size of you map e.g. 1024. then file - import - satilite image. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If people don't like watching the videos they can read pmc. In my videos i include files that work for dayz, so it's an easy set up for people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
