@pseudo nexus

[fervent tiger]

awesome job is it on the workshop now?

[soft hollow]

@burnt night

[sterile glade]

On workshop, fully tested on our own server, Whole navmesh generated x2 (Soldiers and LowRes).

I tried to build so that Gamemasters still have room to build in and around the Xtra locations.

[burnt night]

Interesting

[soft hollow]

Same one as awhile back but much more has been added to it
Looks perfect dont you think?

[fervent tiger]

Map is amazing man awesome job

[sterile glade]

(Will be added next update (today or tomorrow))

Prison at the Island of Ile-Aux-Pins :
Removed the ugly double pole barbwire on request.
Added an extra wall around the prison cells, with 2 entry gates + guardhouses, and barbwire on the walls.
(a lot easier now to contain your prisoners)

[sterile glade]

Removed bunker on parade square Military base Levie (by request, cobblestones were ugly)
Added 2 bunkers outside of Military Base Levie.

Changed the colours of concrete/Camo bunkers on locations: Comms Centre has Camo bunkers, Military sites + airfield all have the Grey concrete bunkers now.

[sterile glade]

FOB north of Durras got a facelift (still WIP)

[sterile glade]

Couple Xtra buildings on West side of Levie (Shops, Bar , Hotel, Police Station, 2 houses)

[sterile glade]

Mod Updated 🏕️

[hazy girder]

For that first pic that area on the hill is a helipad

[soft hollow]

Not exactly
It's an area for storing and processing wood, all the newly chopped trees around the Base

[hazy girder]

Well learn something everyday

[sterile glade]

😁 I also didn't know. I can still move the fuelbunker a bit away from that area, so you can use it as helipad.

[hazy girder]

Up to you man, its your mod

[sterile glade]

Concrete watchtower added to FuelBunker, overlooking Westcoast and Military Site.

👨‍🏭
Added Semi Rocky walls at Villain Lair.
Worked a bit on the interior/inside of the Villain Lair.
Added streetlamps on Xtra Locations.

Mod is updated and published

[covert spruce]

the map is awesome mate

[sterile glade]

Working on 👨‍🏭 lightning for helipads and runway in villain lair. (much brighter now)

Added a "fallen forest" to cover up the new trench systems at the Scythe a bit more.

[fleet matrix]

Does this map also come with a modded map to show new locations and stuff?

[sterile glade]

I have a problem with the map. I set the forest areas on green colour (just like i did with land and water colour), but for some reason the forest areas are not showing.

I've not found a solution yet, but me and my friends feel the missing forest areas are kind of a letdown.

I do get an error in the log that states i have duplicate Mapentity's.

And the problem there is, i can't delete the one that in the Everon World.

So i'm thinking i will just delete my mapentity, and stick with the default one. (which for example won't show the "ghostown buildings on the map" )
But atleast we have our forests back.

[ancient current]

correct you cannot alter the vanilla layer

[sterile glade]

Mod Updated : Mapentity deleted - Vanilla map activated.

Also the whole navmesh has been regenerated (soldier + lowres)

[undone mirage]

@hardy willow

[ancient current]

scenario id is {99E0AA1C4795232A}Missions/EveronIIX.conf btw

[river anchor]

I cannot seem to get either one to work in our servers. Out of curiosity do you use Nitrado or GTX?

[sterile glade]

ok so the problem is being worked, i fixed an issue with the navmesh.

The outcome will be that i don't know yet how to add a new navmesh on top of the one that's in my subworld Xtra. So the AI might be a bit none responsive in those areas (which are just couple residential areas).

Correct id

Everon Xtra:
{3C493CDC45BE95D1}Missions/GMEveronXtra.conf

[sterile glade]

Tested both mods on our server. Not working.

Unfortunately i have to work today and tomorrow. So i have no time to fix this.

Monday i can take at a look this mess i made, and hopefully fix it.

[sterile glade]

(The add-on mod EveronIIX is broken, and for some reason it won't load the project in anymore in my workbench.
I don't know how to unpublish it 🤦‍♂️ )

1 succesful test completed : 👍 Everon Xtra mod is Republished ✅

[sterile glade]

🏌️‍♂️

[sterile glade]

• Dependencies added (wolfpack and appartment)

Added couple buildings (Montignac, Levie, Military site North)
Pathfinding: Navmesh (soldier/lowres) both genererated.

Mod Tested succesfully and republished. ✅

[sterile glade]

The barrios are getting an overhaul. Making more space between the buildings and dressing the space up a bit.

[slender lance]

nice idea

[sterile glade]

I was sort of done with modding. I didn't really know what was possible with this engine and with the vanilla Everon. But modders like you inspired me, with your original ideas, and showing how much more is possible with this engine. So now i build on this map a little bit every week 🙂

Your Facility on Dead Everon is looking very nice 👨‍🔧

[soft hollow]

Wholesome

[round river]

Big fan of your map , it gives it more life

Did an op last night in Levie defending a soviet assault .

[slender lance]

how much data in MB/GB did it took you for regenerating the whole island navmesh ?

[slender lance]

yes so sometimes i think its possible to do nice things with vanilla content that was my goal and i personnally think that it suits everon perfectly even in Everon Xtra, it gives theses new interests points you want to do OPS with

[soft hollow]

You want a Conflict Scenario for your map?

Ill gladly make you one if you want one

[sterile glade]

The soldier navmesh is 684 mb and the lowres navmesh is 219 mb

*but keep in mind that i hope that i set this up correctly. What i did is : Generating the Soldier navmesh first , and i save it as a whole navmesh. I save it in it's own folder in mydocuments/mygames/Areforgerworkbench/addons/..
I restart workbench, and then i generated the navmesh on lowres, and i save the generated in it's own folder.

[sterile glade]

Hi owl 🙂

Couple of months ago i was building on Everon Xtra with the idea that someone might want to make a conflict of my version of everon.
But last couple of months i decided to build on some of the Conflict composition Areas, because our community only uses the map on Gamemaster mode.
So i'm not sure if Everon Xtra can be compatible with Conflict mode.

[soft hollow]

That wouldnt have anything to do with it
I can add and place Bases and such wherever I please

[sterile glade]

Me and my community only play GameMaster mode

[soft hollow]

I can draft up an entirely new Conflict map for you, separate from the Vanilla one, for other people to use outside of Game Master

Like so

[sterile glade]

Well me personally i am not interested in the Conflict mode.

But if you want it for your server, then you got the green light to make a Conflict version if you want.

[soft hollow]

Gotcha, thank you

[sterile glade]

ah yeah pretty cool 🙂

[late bolt]

Is that something you are going to publish? I would love to have Conflict Xtra up when we aren’t running GM ops.

[soft hollow]

Yep, ill get around to it eventually

[sterile glade]

Next update will be around the 22nd of August.

I will remove all dependencies (so all the apartment buildings) (reason = Servers have too much stress trying to render in the buildings + the walls are clipping + AI can see through the walls and shoot through the walls)

I will add New trench and bunker systems near the military site by the Airfield. (first part of the trench system is already on the current build of the Everon Xtra mod.)

[burnt night]

How bad does the server stress on this? I was thinking about adding them to mine

[sterile glade]

It depends on how big your project is, but it can't hurt try test it for yourself. Setting it up and placing your first building takes only 30 minutes max.

I've added the Dependencies on Arland Xtra also. The map is small and i just build a bunch of those apartment buildings on it. Still some framedrops inside the apartment buildings, and when driving past them. But nothing major.

Everon Xtra however, i've build so much already on top of the Vanilla Everon, that we can notice a drop in FPS on the server before and after i added the building dependencies.
Also although the delayed building rendering was already present, it got a lot worse when adding those Dependencies.

Now i do need to note. I do not know for sure if the Apartment rtx mod or wolf building Pack (the white apartment building) is the culprit. I just decided to remove them both, and save myself some building space for the new trenches.

I really want to keep building on Everon Xtra. Building more Trenches and Bunkers. Therefor i have chosen to Remove the dependencies from my mod.

[slender lance]

If you would let me add something, i noticed that there is some "bugs" related to a high number of prefab added under one small location
These bugs make a game master experience much unstable as it may disconnect players or just freeze them over
These buildings for exemple have so many prefabs in them that i may think its linked to that
Of course for the average computer/server i guess this is true and maybe for stronger and more adapted hardware it may not be a problem

However just to let you know, i noticed similar problems on locations where i placed 100's prefabs
So i guess its not the guilt of a particular mod, wich is logical bc a building prefab mod with normal texture shoudnt cause that

[ancient current]

don't mix up server fps with your fps guys

[ancient current]

all the interior stuff in vanilla houses in cities are prefabs so it's not that inefficient, if you freeze when looking at something specific then that thing needs a fix

[river anchor]

Anyone else having trouble restarting their server with this installed?

[sterile glade]

Nope.

What other mods do you have on ? (For example i remember the Turks mod not being compatible with Arland Xtra. Could be same for Everon Xtra, i just never tested it for that map. )

[sterile glade]

I'm trying to duplicate some Memory warnings i had when Generating the Navmesh. But currently i'm just building and not doing pathfinding. I'm waiting until next week, That's when i Generate a whole new navmesh and will update and republish the Everon Xtra mod. If i get the same memory warnings, i will send you the logs/screenshots. It might be the reason for the extended "rendering" of buildings.

I say extended, because the buildings also sometimes don't render when playing on the vanilla Everon. (although i always play Vanilla Everon with other mods)

[sterile glade]

Alright 👨‍🔧 So i tried to make some trench systems, and added couple of "experimental" bunkers.

Everon Xtra is updated and rePublished. Tests were all succesfull.

[round river]

perfect

[sterile glade]

New trenches added by Military site at GALLOWS HILL:

Added concretetrenches across the road from the main Entrance Military base (in the small forest area).
Added couple more trenches to the north of that (added a ruined house on that location on the hill, overlooking Saint Philippe).
Added couple of trenches to the North of Military site.
Added a bunch of concrete bunkers to strenghten the defensive wall surrounding the Military site.
Added a big military office building in the middle of the Military site, with it's own wall and viewingplateau.

[sterile glade]

Updated and Republised mod.

Navmesh updated (for the new trenches).

Villain lair:
Road to lair got a new pavement.
Added a selfmade bunker on the hill overlooking the lair.
Added stairs from lair to bunker.

Added 1 new trench, with new style of ground. (at Gallows Way Military site, south of entrance)

(there will be one new trench that is in fase 1 of bulding stage. Not finished. Also using the new ground style.)

[open dune]

For some reason I get an error for what I believe is a mod confliction. I’ll send over the tomorrow during the day sometime.

[sterile glade]

If you find the mod that conflicts, let me know please.

Our community plays on Everon Xtra a lot. We add a lot of mods. And have a bunch of different modlists. All tested and working.

[open dune]

So no mod is conflicting apparently…it’s failing to load the scenario it looks like. Sorry I forgot to grab the code before I left for work this morning.

I’ll grab it when I get to school before class

[hazy girder]

Smash

[sterile glade]

Everon Xtra has been updated and Republished ✅

Added grass areas to the trenches.
Added new Trench system north of the Military site (gallows hill).
Removed the ugly bridge at the Villain Lair. Added a paved road + a bunker on the hill overlooking the Lair.

[hazy girder]

I want a map that is literally trenches with a few towns in between maybe a town thats in ruin

The trenches in those photos made me just yeah

[ashen musk]

@sterile glade 😭✝️✨ can’t wait to see this come back bro

[icy stone]

Now big is map?

[sterile glade]

1st test tomorrow 👍

[sterile glade]

Subworld of Vanilla Everon (so same size).

[sterile glade]

Everon Xtra Updated and published for 1.0

Test successful on our server ✅

• Ai pathfinding redone (new soldier Navmesh generated)

• Added some furniture at Fort Whiskey (Added secret stuff also, good luck finding it) + added lights.

• Added some furniture at Bonvue Building (west of Redon) + Added lights + Building foundations updated. (almost finished)

• Added some names on the map for Castle locations etc. (Now you know what they are actually called in my mind).

Ps The update was rushed though. And i already noticed that i made a mistake with the names in GM mode. Some of them are now objects that can be deleted by GM < Working on fixing that.

• Edit : Fixed

[ashen musk]

The HYPE!!!

[sterile glade]

Something really bad happened to my last world save. Because of it more then 50% of all my creations on XTRA are gone.

I'm not going to rebuild it all.

I can maybe load an old saved world. But it will be without the newly created secret underground bunkers that i made.

Maybe i can save some prefabs and start a new better looking Xtra ?

I don't know at this moment. Still sort of processing on how i lost 50% of the stuff....

[sterile glade]

I check the old save:

I will need to fix a lot of floating trees (i think this is caused by Bohemia's 1.0 update)

It wasn't that old, the old save does not contain the 3rd underground bunker. And there is no furniture in the 2 other bunkers.

So all in all, not too much has been lost.

The castle at Morton however, is gone ? No idea how.
The overwatch bunker on the hill by Military base Levie is also gone...

I'm beginning to think it's because i copy pasted resources, and when deleting the source, everything gets deleted.
And because i'm building on the other side of the map, i just don't notice that i make the mistake.

IDK something like that probably wrecked my Mod.

Agenda :

Fixing the last part of the floating trees.
** i Need to learn ** how to transfer the new bunkers to the old world save.
Will need to regenerate the whole navmesh again.

[sterile glade]

Republished OLD saved world from 2 weeks ago. Tested it on server (only 1 player test). Looks to be working.

_

2 underground bunkers foundations intact. But no furniture etc. That is all lost.
The 3rd latest underground bunker is totally lost.

[sterile glade]

Republished Xtra for a 2nd time. Found a save with the underground bunkers mostly intact. Copy/pasted them to the new save.

Testing now. (*edit Tested : It's good ✅ . But ofcourse i didn't do the Navmesh yet on those altered locations)

If it works, then i will not update anymore.
Maybe check tomorrow if i can add some lights in the tunnels, because i wasn't able to copy the lights.

[sterile glade]

EVERON XTRA - HUGE UPDATE INFO

• I have build a tunnel system inside Fort Whiskey + secret escape ladders + Extra bunker on top of the hill.
  Lights have been added, but this technic is new to me, so still learning how to perfect it.
  (Biggest problem is that light can sometimes shine through the walls).

• Wolfs Building Pack added as Dependency.
  Multiple apartment buildings added.
  New Military area added at Military site Gallows hill (where i placed all those trenches).
  School added. (Between Meaux and St. Philippe)

*Added Terracore apartment buildings at Regina & Nouveau Meaux

Thanks to :

Tactical Toxic (TerraCore)
Wolf (Wolfs Building Pack Mod)

[naive jewel]

You should make it how you had it before with a bunch of apartments in montignac and Levie I don’t know why you got rid of that version of the map but that was the most perfect map I have ever seen now you can barly find any apartments with this newest update and the map just looks like it did before with a few small changes

[sterile glade]

Apartment buildings replaced with other mod with apartment buildings.
(the previous mod "Eastern european Assets" have too low frames for Xbox users when enetering the buildings or driving past it.)

This is just a fast solution, i will work on these locations more in the future.

Already on the island, But UNDER CONSTRUCTION, this pretty big project i will upload in stages. The first stage is now completed.

Aim of the project is to build Beach defences for a Beach assault mission on a large scale.

[gentle nacelle]

Is there a Conflict mission for this map?

[sterile glade]

Not yet.

My building on Everon Xtra is almost done.
After that i will remove the GameMode manager, and make a Core version which can be used to build other gamemodes on.

[gentle nacelle]

Thanks for your reply!
Im trying to save a Game Master Mission on your map, but it seems like it doesnt work. The save gets this red warning triangle and i can only open it again in the regular Everon - Game Master (not Everon Xtra - Game Master)

[autumn sinew]

Is this stable after 1.2?

[true scaffold]

yep

[strange monolith]

Wolfs building pack just had an update. Everything is floating now

[rustic jewel]

Yes, it really needs fix 😄

[sterile glade]

Took me about 3 hours, but i think i got them all.

ExA Xtra + Everon Xtra both updated and republished

(Navmesh was done couple of weeks ago, not sure if an updated generated navmesh is needed for those floating buildings. Will update Navmesh after every BI anyways )

• Added couple of Wolf's new Buildings&Bunkers on Everon Xtra

[rustic jewel]

Thanks! I have small request.. can you remove 10k view distance? Is that possible? 🙈 My group of friends have low budget pc and there is problem with that map like low FPS 😅

[sterile glade]

Will look at it next time.

(i don't have enough information on the effects on fps since Reforger and mods got updated. I need some time to test this on my server. We got some Xbox players in our community, i usually ask them about their experience and fps, and then work with that in mind )

[celest badger]

I highly suggest a navmeh regen if you use the appartment buildings. Seeing as they changed in size and height

[sterile glade]

Copy that. Will do a regen then.

[ornate shoal]

Am I reading that this has AI and you can use it as you would with a Conflict scenario, even though it reads as GM? My apologies if this is mentioned further up the thread. If so, I will definitely be using this on our server. Looks awesome! I think I may have overlooked this jewel reading the GM in Scenarios.

[sterile glade]

In GM mode only the GM can spawn AI. No AI will be spawned on script. This map has been set only for GM scenario.
There are no real plans to set the scenario on conflict.

If however these mods can be transfered to the upcoming Arma 4. Then yes i will put some work in these kind of things.

[ornate shoal]

Right on. I understand and appreciate the reply. We're a new server so, until we find a population, we try to run it PVPVE so people will, at the very least, have AI to battle against for the time being. No worries, though. It still looks awesome and I'll keep an eye on it. Keep up the awesome work.

[sterile glade]

Update :

Everon Xtra > Navmeshes regenerated + viewdistance back to 5k max 500m min.

ExA Xtra > Navmeshes regenerated

( 👨‍🔧 i have not tested this on a server yet. Tomorrow i will test them to see if the mods actually work 😇 )

[rustic jewel]

thanks a lot!

[vivid quest]

@sterile glade I sent a message asking for permission to use this map for a game mode.

[vivid quest]

Can you possibly make a non game mode version for other usage?

[vivid quest]

@sterile glade

[sterile glade]

Not any time soon i'm afraid.

[vivid quest]

alright got it

[sterile glade]

Other Updates :
Removed the Chernarus Tower at Western Heights. (Doesn't suit Everon, the Tower belongs in Chernarus 🙂 )

Removed sandbag outpost north of Durras : I was never happy with that location.

• Added Crater Mod
• Added KOH Tower mod

Town of Etoupe (WIP) :

• Added bunch of destroyed buildings
• Added Wolfs Garages
• Added ruined Church + some Castle Ruins
• Added some small trenches at Church Ruin.

At the moment i am getting some error messages on the Ceiling lights that i placed.
I don't know what this means :

ENTITY : Create entity @"ENTITY:2305843009213825032" ('LightEntity') at <11769.408203 4.955544 2406.070801>
ENGINE (E): Trying to set invalid texture Common/Textures/Light_profiles/StreetLamp_01_Mask.edds as cube texture

[sterile glade]

• apparently switching the lightEntity from spot to > point creates the error

[autumn holly]

Hello , i recently added this mod to my milsim server for you next “deployment” but when i tried to host a op today with only 13 people it kept crashing people’s games and lagging . Do you know why this might be as would really like to use the map but can’t if it will keep doing it ?

[hexed orchid]

Is this mod like dead now, I hope it’s not😔

[true scaffold]

no its not dead and it still works in 1.3

[vocal zenith]

Hasnt been updated since 12.13.2024

[true scaffold]

im playing it rn

[vocal zenith]

"Dead" doesnt mean not working, "Dead" means not being worked on
