All Map Indexing Requests Here!

I've moved map index tracking and requests to a google sheet because it's easier to manage.

I tried to index X-Cam-Taunus but for some reason it kept failing due to a missing blacklist file. IDK it was my first attempt at Indexing a map for Alive. it may have to due with the PBO structure, but again I'm not sure as its was my first attempt at indexing. can the Alive dev team add this to the list.

This would be much appreciated!

Prei Khmaoch Luong. Fully functional index here, though ambient vehicles can explode in some areas so I'd recommend disabling the option until Highhead can clean that function up in general (happens on lots of maps, not just this one). Not thoroughly tested but should be ok, barring any other complaints within the next couple days, should be safe to merge.

Lythium needs an updated index

[pablodma]

Map name: Lythium Version: 1.05 Download Link: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=32694

Re-index

Thanks!

[HeroesandvillainsOS]

No sense in reindexing Lythium right now. An update is supposedly on the horizon, and no link will suffice because the FFAA team blocks the PBO's. They'll need to unblock it and send it over. Just pointing this out so no one wastes their time on it.

A error popped up with Neaville Winter http://prntscr.com/gadrcn Created 2 missions exactly the same Neaville works but I get this message http://prntscr.com/gaflp7 but still able to play. IFA3 Mod

Winter is only indexed in dev build

Is malden 2035 working properly? When I tried it out the civilians were barely spawning inside houses.

Has an updated index been done to Zargabad?

[marceldev89]

@coachwn Zargabad hasn't been re-indexed. Is it needed?

Map name: Porto Version: 1.3.0 Download Link: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=30046

Can you estimate how long it will take? Thanks for your great work!

[HeroesandvillainsOS]

Well I’ll be damned I don’t think Porto is indexed. Sure I can do it. Shouldn’t take too long at all.

[HeroesandvillainsOS]

@GlennKintscher Here's the Porto index: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v8zx54dnaqhkg7p/porto.zip?dl=0

For now, place the X folder within your mission root and it will work. Barring any issues, @friznit can probably merge it into an upcoming release.

[GlennKintscher]

@HeroesandvillainsOS Thank you, Sir / Ma'am! You deserve a cookie!

[HeroesandvillainsOS]

Big shocker; I play Arma and am a white male. Who would have guessed? Lol. Yeah the index seems ok, but it has no military objectives at all (so don’t bother with the MIL Obj module). And I get a weird marker I’ve never seen when turning on sea patrols at 0,0,0 but assuming everything is working ok, it should be fine for a merge.

Also, there aren’t that many buildings civs can spawn in due to the map design so keep that in mind too when designing your op.

[Bigbulletx3]

I would be really nice and helpful if u add or index this map please. Tilos : Greek Island: Armaholic Download Link: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=27869. Thanks in advanced because if you index this I can finally test my alive mission for it.

[HeroesandvillainsOS]

@Bigbulletx3 Hi! I’m sort of one of the non-official de facto map indexing guys. Hey so, it’s not everyday someone requests a map that (A) I’ve never heard of it that’s (B) this large. Please bare in mind indexing a relatively lengthy process, so please tell me...

Do you have any experience with Tilos? I see it hasn’t updated since 2015. A lot has changed in the Arma platform since then, including lighting and object related stuff. Do any errors pop up at all either when opening or physically moving around the map? Is the sky black? Does it crash?

If you’ve never set foot on this map, I have my doubts about indexing it, to be perfectly honest. But if you can say in confidence the map has no issues I certainly don’t mind. Like I said, it’s not everyday someone asks for an index to a map I’ve never heard of.

[Bigbulletx3]

I have played on it and had no issues other than the sky being kinda dark but it is beautiful and I'm making an alive mission on it but cant play it because no index so in all confidence this map is beautiful and awesome.

[Bigbulletx3]

Here is the steam link, http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=375720350

[HeroesandvillainsOS]

@Bigbulletx3 So it has the black sky bug? Can you post a screenshot of what you mean? If it’s the black sky thing man, I’m sorry but I won’t index it. That means the map is RIP dead.

[Bigbulletx3]

Ok its the horizon thats black idk know if this is the bug but here https://gyazo.com/116b4fec986b8eb90a062358d5d370ed

[Bigbulletx3]

even if this is the bug it would still be nice if you could do this if not its okay.

[HeroesandvillainsOS]

Maybe you want to trying indexing it? ALiVE comes with a tool that anyone can use (I’m a moron and this is why I can do it).

http://alivemod.com/wiki/index.php/Map_Indexing

If you do choose to try to get setup for it, feel free to PM me and we can go over some things if you have any questions.

[Bigbulletx3]

were do I pm u and I mean I can give it a try I'm just not good at stuff like that

[Bigbulletx3]

I don't know if I can do it man I'm not good at this stuff and you are the only way I could do it is if u walked me through it and plus this is for my milsim and wont if I index it it will only be for me.

[Bigbulletx3]

If you don't want to do that one then here is a really good map that alive can really be good on that I really want indexed G.O.S leskovets: Steam link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=855464203. I know its big but its a really good map ive played on it before and here recently for zeus and there are absolutely no problems for it.

[HeroesandvillainsOS]

@Bigbulletx3 Veryinnaccurateaimbot mentioned this morning he’ll try to index Leskovets. Worst case, I can do it if he has issues with it, but tamper your expectations because every map by Makhno (for me) has horrible issues with ALiVE (such as N’Ziwasogo and Al Rayak), not only with crashing the indexing tool, but also in-game CTD’s and 1-2 FPS issues.

[Bigbulletx3]

Ok man thank its just that all the maps that hav been indexed are horrible looking or already have a misson made on so ive been looking for somewhat big and really nice looking maps to make alive missions. Thank you though.

[bradon]

I've indexed tilos forum post

I'll index Leskovets sometime this week if Heroes doesn't

[Bigbulletx3]

Thank you I love you Brandon

[Bigbulletx3]

Bradon my b

[Bigbulletx3]

Thing is I don't get the error but it still wont load is that because it needs to be on a dedicated server

[Bigbulletx3]

On tilos

[marceldev89]

No, just drop the x folder in your mission folder and it should magically work. :)

[Bigbulletx3]

x folder?

[Bigbulletx3]

I put the x folder in the mpmissions folder but it still wont launch

[bradon]

place the X folder within your mission root. Doesn't need to be on a dedi. so path-to-missions/MyMissionName.MapName/x or path-to-missions/MyMissionName.MapName/x By default editor missions are saved in Arma 3/missions or Arma 3 (Other Profiles)/ProfileName/missions

[Bigbulletx3]

ok is it possible you could gimmie a screenshot because my mission file looks like a noteplad document I cant put it into the file

[bradon]

Screenshot of a mission using the index

[Bigbulletx3]

mine used to look like that now they look like notepad files look https://gyazo.com/3b06a7ed1996795d278e1a7d6ab319dc

[HeroesandvillainsOS]

@Bigbulletx3 for future reference, general QA like this is better suited for the ALiVE forums. But it’s ok since you didn’t know. For now, place the X folder for the index in your mission root folder. By default that’s in Documents>Arma 3>missions or, if you use a second profile, it’s Documents>Arma 3 - Other Profiles>Username>missions. Inside the missions folder, you’ll see a folder with the mission itself. Place the X folder inside there. That means by default, inside your mission folder, it will have a file called mission.sqm and now an X folder right below it.

To play the mission in a MP environment, pack the entire mission folder into a PBO (you can download a tool to do this on Armaholic called PBO Manager). The path for the mission PBO you make with PBO Manager goes in C drive>Program Files (x86)>Steam>Steamapps>Common>Arma 3 MP Missions

[Bigbulletx3]

ok thank you
