|
| Roller is a community made software developed by Spooner to convert and process OFP and ArmA island files.
| | Its primary purpose is to convert {{ofp}} islands to {{arma1}} for the ACE Island Pack, but it can also do some processing that could be useful to people making new {{arma1}} islands. |
|
| |
|
| It can read:
| | {{Link|link= http://dev-heaven.net/news/show/1|text= Roller}} has been released! |
|
| |
|
| * 4WVR WRP (OFP unbinarized)
| |
| * 8WVR WRP (ArmA unbinarized)
| |
|
| |
|
| It can write:

| * 8WVR WRP (ArmA unbinarized) | | * {{Link|http://rm.6thsense.eu/projects/show/roller|Roller project page}} |
| * XYZ height data (text file)
| |
| * Object data list (text file)
| |
| * Mask texture (PNG)
| |

|
| Additional features
| | * [http://rm.6thsense.eu/projects/roller/issues?query_id=3 Known problems] |

| | * {{Link|http://rm.6thsense.eu/projects/roller/issues/new|Report a problem or feature request}} |
|
| |
|
| * Generate Mask texture (customizable coloring based on terrain point height, definition of forest and urban areas, customizable texture size) | | * {{Link|http://rm.6thsense.eu/projects/roller/boards/show/2|Roller feedback forum}} |
| * Replace forest block with customizable single objects (type, densitity, relative frequency)
| | * {{Link|http://rm.6thsense.eu/projects/roller/boards/show/3|Roller support forum}} |
| * Replace single objects with optional offset (1:n and n:1)
| |
| * Reduce cell size for more height data points (smooth terrain shape)
| |
| * Make terrain bumpy (needs cell size reduction)
| |
| * Rise/lower sea level
| |
| * Generate list of unique objects present in source file
| |
| * Replace textures (1:n and n:1) | |
| * Set terrain point height at the edges (to avoid endless repeated terrain)
| |
| * Processing summary

| You need be able to use the command line or at least able to edit a batch file to tell the app what to do. There is no GUI available to access the app. The app can be called sequentially to perform a batch operation to process multiple files easily.

| ==Installation== | | == Roller Dev Team == |
|
| |
|
| ===Requirments===
| | * Project manager: kyu |
| | * Ruby developer: Spooner |
| | * Configuration: the-f |
| | * Testing: kyu, the-f and looz |
| | * Roller image: Pufu |
|
| |
|
| * Download and install [[Visitor_3|Visitor 3]] as well as buldozer.
| |
| * This means to have a P:\ partition with all ArmA source files available.
| |
| ** Install [[BI_Tools|BI Tools]] first.
| |
| ** Use [http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=3320 unBuildArmA] by MadDogX to mass unpack all ArmA pbos to P:\ or use [http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=411 cpbo] by Kegetys to do it one by one yourself.
| |
| ** Download and unpack the [http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=61;t=67070 BI Sample Models] to P:\. Overwrite existing files.
| |
| * No requirements for Roller. Its a self-contained application.

| | |
| ====Open source version====
| |
| | |
| [http://www.ofpec.com/ Download at OFPEC]
| |
| | |
| For the source you need at least [http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ Ruby 1.8.6] installed.
| |
| Recommended development IDE is [http://www.netbeans.org/downloads/index.html NetBeans IDE] 'Ruby' version.
| |
| | |
| ====Additional helpers====

| ** [http://www.ofpec.com/ A1]
| |
| ** [http://www.ofpec.com/ ACEIP]
| |
| ** [http://www.ofpec.com/ OFP 3rdParty]
| |
| * Sample PEW files (TODO) for OFP standard island files (128, 256, 512, 1024 terrain size and 50m cell size) with object definition templates already imported.
| |
| * Sample batch file to execute Roller with given parameter defined in the batch file:
| |
| ** Copy the given text in a new file called Roller.bat (for windows systems).
| |
| ** Check the following Roller Instructions section below to understand how to configure the batch file.
| |
| ** Adapt the path to the Roller application and the path to the source data (wrp files) in the first section of the file.
| |
| ** Run the batch file.
