[StarWars] Venator Multi-Deck Interior (Dumb, indirect scenario version)

Hey! Don't use this mod, go get the composition version instead. Here:
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2259561347



This mod adds a composition of the Venator from the 501st Community Auxiliary Mod with a full interior. It is intended as a basic framework for mission makers so does not include clutter decorations, empty vehicles, or AI. That said, there is still a ton of content, organized so that mission makers can set up the Venator as anything from a simple mission starting point, a base of operations (similar to the vanilla airfields), or even a full scenario inside the ship.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

DOWNLOADING

Since BI has apparently given up on support for publishing custom compositions to the workshop, you have two options for download.

1) The easy way:
-Don't Subscribe to this mod
-Download the zip file from the following URL and extract it to folder: Documents / Arma 3 / compositions
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Xa4j7ZxQUBrbqQd4z_f-3oLrKdTH8mCd/view?usp=sharing
-NOTE: Compositions are tied to your profile, so your compositions folder may need to be under / Arma 3/ Other Profiles/ yourprofile

2) The hard, annoying way:
-Subscribe to this mod, this will give you a new scenario. Not very useful.
-Download PBO manager from this url http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=16369
-Launch Arma and play this scenario (until you do this, steam won't actually download the mod), then exit the game.
-Go to : Documents / Arma 3 / Saved / steam
-Cut/Paste the folder named [SWOP]%20Venator-Class%20Star%20Destroyer.VR to Documents / Arma 3 / missions
-Open the folder and use PBO manager to extract [Star%20Wars]%20Venator%20Multi-Deck%20Interior.VR.pbo
-This will give you the file, mission.sqm. Leave this file in Documents / Arma 3 / missions / [Star%20Wars]%20Venator%20Multi-Deck%20Interior.VR
-Re-launch Arma and open the Editor
-Go to Open and you should see [Star Wars] Venator Multi-Deck Interior available for editing. Open that file.
-You'll see the Venator with all it's layers in the left-hand browser. Make sure those layers are unlocked (select them and click the little padlock folder icon at the bottom of the panel)
-Expand all the layers and select everything, including the outer-most layer (Venator Multi-Deck Interior)
-Right click one of the objects and select Save Custom Compostion
-You can now spawn the Venator from the Custom Compositions tab.
-Unsubscribe from this mod cause you don't need it cluttering up your scenarios

SPAWNING THE VENATOR

Once you have the Venator in your Custom Compositions list, you can spawn it wherever you'd like in the 3den editor. It will be in the Assets Browser (right hand panel) Groups / Custom Compositions (the farthest right icon / Static Ships). You will need to turn Vertical Mode off in order for everything to spawn correctly. If you're confused refer to the last image above.

Issues:
-The Central Shaft of the Hyperdrive Room pokes out of the top and bottom of the ship. If your scenario takes place outside the ship, consider deleting that object or even the entire Engineering section.

-If you place the Venator too high, your players will occasionally enter the Halo Jump animation if they lose contact with the ground.

-Some areas just look a bit rough, especially Engineering. The SWOP assets don't fit together very well, so there are noticeable seams, patches, and clipping in places.
