That's my new way.
In the past I played a lot with Editors, e.a. Left4Dead and Company of Heroes.

The great thing here is that buildings which are spawning loot, also do when added to the map.
The best thing is, that I'm used to that stuff and that this normally causes NO ERRORS.

Its much work but has much potential.

Look at this to know what it's about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zueGoDe8FE

Proceeding fine on that and added 333 new objects to the map.
Here some pics of what I've done so far:
The place was empty as I started. I blocked the roads into the city.

Some sort of construction sites and bunkers:

Added some hanged men and a frigatte:

Thanks. [rolling_eyes]

Here some more pictures of the new stuff:

New designed NE AF

New little Farmhouse at NE AF:

New patrol station and 2 appartments east from Stary Novor:

New hospital in Vybor:

I added a little pub to the patrol station north from Solnichniy.
Behind along the road you see the new construction site.


New barrack at Balota airstrip:

For those who want to experiment with the map editor, look at this:

It's almost everything described in this video.

Don't use the start dayz button when you set the parameter in dayz commander.
Instead try to join the server (with parameter).
You will gain an error message and you'll then be in the main menue where you can start the editor. The reason to start the editor this way is the fact, that you then will have much more things you can place...

To place things even to the ground you have to put in this:
this setVectorUp [0,0,1];
at this place (after rightclick or setting an object):


Always use the restart button to control if things you placed glitched.
Don't place things to close to each other. Some things cannot be set inside others. Some things can be placed inside others. It's much trial and error.

Don't set any vehicles or MG nests, they have to be set via database.

Yes, that is correct. I deleted one of it and replaced the other one.

They added some really good new buildings with the patch 1.0.4.
Some of the houses have door bells!
Some new german supermarkets. (I added an ALDI)
Also the hotel which is known from Sector B, Origins is implemented.

I added some of the new buildings to westside of Cherno:


Unfortunately the new buildings doesn't spawn any loot....

I reworked almost the whole gold digger camp.
I don't want to show too much details, so here is only a far out overview:


There should be 2 ZSU-23 (instead of 1) and 1 T-90 now down the road.
It's a shame that it's not possible to let them spawn up any hills.
I tried to land inside with a Huey and the bandits perforated me and my heli.
That's what I wanted from the very beginning. To force peeps to enter on foot.
There are only 2 entrances...

I placed 2 Safes hidden inside the camp.
The Shed, which was vanishing all the time isn't there anymore!
In addition you'll find as usual some gold ore veigns there too.
The camp is guarded by 50 Bandits, which will not respawn!

Fight your way to glory!

Next projects that will follow soon:
Rework of the Electro Camp
New Camp at green Hill. A T-90 already patrols there.

Little bandit spot at green hill is set up.

I decided to give up the camp at electro.
The camp is still there but as BEC message is telling you they retreated to rog castle.
I created there a new bandit spot.
Rog Castle is located northeast of Electro.

Bandit spot at green hill was removed.
New spot at Devils Castle (30 Bandits and UAZ), it's similar to rog castle. (30 Bandits)

I also created a bunker and as creating devils castle I already wondered about that it's not possible anymore to set things even to the underground.

I added over months new buildings and used the variable "setvectorup [0,0,1];" to set buildings even on uneven ground. This worked fine untill the last patch 1.0.4.2b.

All stuff I placed in the past is still even to the ground in my script!
New stuff I add with this variable only stays even until a restart in editor, then it's uneven again.
Even when I don't use this variable and set stuff it's even.
After a restart uneven again.

That drives me crazy and prevents me from setting new stuff.
I don't know if they changed something on that, posted already a thread at Open Dayz Forum.

It would be really worse to leave that problem unsolved, cause it's not possible to build without setting things even...

I hate problems and I hate this editor...

It seems that a script is limited to a specific number of items. When placing more, that variable doesn't seems to work anymore...
I counted roughly the items my "mother" script is holding by now. (based on mother from Alien
I added about 1600 items to the map so far!!

Solution to my problem is simple. I have to use a new script to add more.

The Bunker itself and outer stuff is finished!
I will place some interieur inside tomorrow and will load it up to the server then.

Here is a picture of it:

To begin with I'll place 12 bandits inside.

EDIT: Bunker was uploaded to the server. Bandits should respawn after 30 Minutes. No reward. It's just there to shoot some.
