DarkSideSixOff 34 Report post Posted December 2, 2015 There's a camping lantern in Arma 3 by default so no model making s required. Simply make it to where you can craft the camping lantern using batteries and a light bulb, and you can either carry around the lantern with you, or place it somewhere. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tom4 10 Report post Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) LOL it would be a nice light source Vs flood lights and Generator (up coming generator sound) fuel could be a power source instead of batteries. 1-lightbulb 1- metal pole/ metal board/junk metal or a combination of those 1- 20L fuel Can(full) = Lantern Edited December 2, 2015 by tom4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuel can be used for other things, but it doesn't really fit with the kind of lantern we have available in Arma 3, and using it would prevent from having to model one, and take up space for the Exile download.

tom4 10 Report post Posted December 2, 2015 Well, thing about that is: Amazing Where I live happens to have both power sources, Maybe I'm just lucky. I haven't happened across a battery in my travels where as fuel seems overly abundant. Do not see any reason to change the model, look at the Dummy place holders for flood lights and generators.

DarkSideSixOff 34 Report post Posted December 3, 2015 Or we could have two versions. Wouldn't hurt. Fuel Lantern, and Battery Lantern. The Fuel one would have to be a bit more dull and orange due to fuel being it's power source. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crizyz 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2015 That's actually quite neat! Never liked those floodlights, way too much light for trying to stay a bit low profile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROGUE[WOLF] 2 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 So how would I go about this. I have created the recipe but it doesn't work. I am guessing that the mod has to have the model and everything else for the lantern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
