Im having the same issue as @rico
i get crashes and the same error message, i really want to get this mod working, would greatly appritiate your help!

Hey @eden , mod is great ! but i tried your thing to update the variable but it seems to not work ..

"]" missing ...

here you said :

edn_fortification_array = [
["Walls",
["Land_BagFence_Long_F",[["edn_sandbag",3]]],
["Land_BagFence_Short_F",[["edn_sandbag",2]]],
...
],
["Camping",
...
];


Could you help me ? i fell like a porc with a spoon when it's time to code :)

I get a error message starting the game with this mod

@Eden I'm getting an error every time I use your mod:

---

[] :'bin|config.bin/CfgPatches/edn_fortification/' not an array

---

I would like to either suppress or resolve this error message. <3

i ended up adding your WIP items to my "common_civ_loot" array for my loot spawner, my mod could read yours even though yours couldn't read mine

okay that is an strange bug, theoreticly it should work with every item, how do you have added your items?
And thank you for posting the classnames of my WIP objects ;)

I ended up adding the WIP items to my loot table in the mod so i wont have this problem anymore. For any one else who wants to do this, the class names are ["edn_sandbag", "edn_Woodplank","edn_Metalpipe","edn_Steelplate"]

You were right, the vanilla items work fine. I wish there was a way to get the modded ones to work :(

to be honest no, it looks right :/
Could you maybe try t with an vanilla item? and do you have the items you need in your inventory? (I think yes but just because it looks like the script didn't find them)

it is an global variable

you have to edit the variable, for example in the init.sqf of your mission

And sadly to say but it seems like the homepage Armaholic where I originaly uploaded the mod as main download source is down. But I still have it uploaded here and at out homepage https://www.sol-diers.com/files/file/4-edn-fortification/

@TripHazard You have to edit the variable "edn_fortification_array" it normaly looks something like that:

edn_fortification_array = [
["Walls",
["Land_BagFence_Long_F",[["edn_sandbag",3]]],
["Land_BagFence_Short_F",[["edn_sandbag",2]]],
...
],
["Camping",
...
];

Here you could edit what kind of objects there are to build and what you need to build this objects.
it is defined as followed: category followed by all the objects in this category, and every object followed by its needed construction materials.
For example:
If you want to change the long Sandbags to need 1 instead of 3 snadbags, the code looks like this:
...
["Land_BagFence_Long_F",[["edn_sandbag",1]]],
...

how do you add a build price to things? it just keeps saying "not enough recourses" even when i have them in my inventory. if i leave it blank i can place stuff, but i want to add a cost

A bit updated version https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2473016666 . This great mod still works with no issues .

Hey, of cause you can :)
Credits are appreciated ^^

The original upload was on the Armaholics forum/mod hoster you could link this as well if you want to: https://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26964

You are also welcome to link your new mod/modpack here.

It is good to see that after so many years this mod is still in use :D

Hey, can i reupload it as a part of larger project ? (with crediting this Steam page)

I've did some changes that require to repack the .pbo -s .

Hello all, I have a fix for the error: include file userconfig edn_fortification\edn_fortification_config.hpp

To remedy this situation you will need to navigate to your @EDN Fortification folder, normally found here:

64-Bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam/steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop\@EDN Fortification

Once within this folder, copy the entire userconfig folder, and paste it back into the root Arma 3 folder:

64-Bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam/steamapps\common\Arma 3

This has worked for me!

Can't speak for 32 bit Windows or other operating systems

This is a fantastic mod, even if it's so old. I have a few issues though. I attempt to add blueprints in the Editor but a certain error pops up once I attempt to test the map.
The error is: "[] :bin/config.bin/CfgPatches/edn_fortification/ not an array". Yes I spell checked multiple times, the slashes are exactly like the error says.
Is it possible for the uploader to post a dumb-proof step-by-step guide to add blueprints? If possible affecting the mod as a whole, not only the map. Or simply post a new version of it with a list of many blueprints, like empty crates and bunkers, to solve my, and probably others', problems.
Thank you in advance.

Oh, where is the Problem? And yes probably it's because the mod is 5 years old ^^

Sadly It's not working for me ;(

Aw, I liked this mod (also it didn't require ACE.... just a giant ass backpack, or slaves to carry it all).

Hey Guys,
if u want a fixed mod for the userconfig issue, send me a message. I have fix the script issue.

This is instrutions given by {LINK REMOVED}http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26964 the orginal mod

Just use some other logistics system (e.g. R3F logistics) this is outdated and won't be updated any time soon.

@Brewdog what does this do?

Ok after a time i figuered this out with Userconfig, I do give permission if they want to copy and paste it to discription, i had to gotos Website to find it, so here is best way I can discrible.

1. Locate your Arma 3 Folder defualt is
32-Bit - C:\Program Files\Steam/Steamapps\Common\ArmA 3\
64-Bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam/Steamapps\Common\ArmA 3\

2. Go into this folder Steam\Steamapps\Common\ArmA 3\@edn_fortification\addons\

3. Copy/Cut the Folder "Not File The Folder"

4. Go back to
32-Bit - C:\Program Files\Steam/Steamapps\Common\ArmA 3\
64-Bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam/Steamapps\Common\ArmA 3\

5. Paste the Folder with files in folder to that location the root Arma 3 Directory.

Anyone dealing with a bug where you can't open the menu after saving and exiting both in MP and SP?

@Rhythe_Solin
Go to the addon folder it contains the required config file and move it to the userconfig folder inside the main Arma 3 directory.

what is the name of the userconfig file, i have alot of files in the addon folder

@Rhythe_Solin
Move the userconfig file from the addon folder to your userconfig folder.

that second part is not supposed to be a question.

is this outdated? my game crashes if I try and launch with your mod?

Do you have copied the userconfig folder into your arma 3 folder?

The menu don't open by pressing CTRL+B...

Hey I was curious I got this recently and did some heavy modifications by adding many more objects to build but I was curious if there is a way to make it so i can attach a script to the built objects making them not take damage, I built a base in a game but was then shot by a CAS run that destroyed my buildings i included

Just change the "edn_sandbag" into whatever you like.
For example you could also use first aid kits or magazines ^^
And wood is used for the campfire:

["Land_Campfire_F",[["edn_Woodplank",2]]],

What about the I unused recurces like wood

To add new Elements to the build menu you have to change the "edn_fortification_array" variable.
For example:

edn_fortification_array = [
["Walls",
["Land_BagFence_Long_F",[["edn_sandbag",3]]],
["Land_BagFence_Short_F",[["edn_sandbag",2]]],
["Land_BagFence_End_F",[["edn_sandbag",1]]],
["Land_BagFence_Round_F",[["edn_sandbag",3]]],
["Land_BagFence_Corner_F",[["edn_sandbag",2]]]
],
["Camping",
["Land_Campfire_F",[["edn_Woodplank",2]]],
["Land_CampingChair_V2_F",[["edn_Metalpipe",2]]],
["Land_CampingTable_F",[["edn_Metalpipe",4],["edn_Steelplate",2]]],
["Land_CampingTable_small_F",[["edn_Metalpipe",4],["edn_Steelplate",1]]]
]
];
I have postet one that I often use at the forum at armaholic forum [www.armaholic.com].

@x_X_Diomond_zombie_X_X
The mod is not maintained for quite a long time and it's not fully functional.

Thanks for responding! I now added the userconfig file. but I can only place sandbags and tables... Do you have any advice?

@x_X_Diomond_zombie_X_X
You need to add the userconfig file.

"include file userconfig\edn_fortification_config.hpp not found"
your mod is broken, everytime i tried to use it it gave me this error report
and arma 3 crashed.

turns out, Not everyone likes ACE. lol.

Thank you for making it and I hope you maybe update it

Hey,
thank you for uploading my mod. I didn't expect that anyone still uses it, because there are some bugs and no integretion into ace or something like that.
But seems like I'm not right about this ^^
Thank you all for still using it.

okay let me check it out :D
i've allways wanted a mod that allows infantry to build fortifications :P

R3F Logistics is a good version, even has an ACE3 compatible version.

damn any other mods that do similar things?

No, it's dead.
