It's using ace functions for those, this is just a pure "make it available to players and not Zeus only" mod.

it will be a good mod if you gonna disable check for objects except roads

Would it be possible to have the trench have the same color as the ground, like GRAD trenches?

would be great if the mod only checked for roads, and ignored all else

constant issues placing the trench unless the terrain is completely barren.

Good mod, not sure the very existence of grass, windy leaves, and the person placing it should count as "objects interfering with the trench" though

digging fails everytime, tried many different terrains and locations.

stable?

ohh, I can see it in the picture now you mention it, I'm gonna try this out, thanks

@Cnst.
ACE added a "sunken" trench in the 3.16 update.
The problem with it is that this "sunken" trench is available only to Zeus through a module.

This addon adds an option to create such a trench with the entrenching tool. It adds this "sunken" trench into the trench selection of Gruppe Adler Trenches.

to those wondering how to deploy trenches,
you'll need the ACE 3 mod an entrenching tool from the ACE mod,
then (by default) press " Windows key + LCTRL " to bring up ace menu and navigate to equipment >entrenching tool >build trench *.
For more info on ACE check here: https://ace3.acemod.org/wiki/feature/

also, the Description is a little vague, what does this mod exactly do?
does it add all the trenches from both mods consolidated into the one ACE interaction
or does it add an option for other units to be commanded to build trenches?

I thought gruppe worked as a replacer mod for the ace trenches so there was no need for a compatibility, am I mistaken?

Thanks for reporting, will take a look into it

I'm getting failed:world cellsize on malden 2035, also with zeus ace laytrench. Not sure if you can do anything about that.

The subscribe button

what do you need to press to install them?

how to install them?

You use self interact, select equipment, entrenching tool, dig sunken trench.
You have to have entrenching tool and be on a diggable surface

How to dig trenches in this mod?

That's something that could be probably done, but as of right now, this only uses the ACE module and can't be edited. This will also introduce tons of problems and edge cases.
I've been thinking about doing a full "dug trenches" mod where I would try to solve most of the limitations and problems, but right now I have little time.

"Due to limitations, the trenches can only face the four sides of the world.
Digging will fail if there's an object interfering with the trench."

Maybe you could do a script like removeallobjects in a given area. You know like iskindoff or Objects= plants trees rocks etc..

Eh no worries about that, the mod is already fantastic for bringing us trenches that deforms the terrain

Highly unlikely I'll add more trenches, nor add a texture matching.
This mod servers as a compatibility layer between ace and gruppe Adler, bringing "the ace trench" into gruppe Adler trenches.

That would most probably need to be it's own add-on. I can try to work on something like that, but currently I am time limited.


As far as version without ace goes, no, that will not exist

Will you add more variety of trenches, and the ability of Gruppe Adler to have the same terrain texutre?

make a version without depending on ACE please

how can i dig this trenches

@Nilia this adds an option for infantry to dig up trenches that were added with last ACE update. This is not possible by default.

@RIGHT LADS I don't think AI can dig trenches

AI work it?

What for do you need compatibility? As far as i can see it, everything works as expected after the Update?

@ilbinek

Copy that. I think I know what the problem is, will fix it tonight

@ilbinek failed too short on dingor multiple locations

@ilbinek was on malden 2035

@Hancock which map is this happening on?

it says "failed: cellworld size" what does that mean?

It was on Altis, in some of the random farm fields, not sure exactly where.

@5 Stars that shouldn't be happening, can you tell me which map and where, so I can take a look at it?

What does the error "too short" mean?

@_KEYSTONE
ACE made it available only for Zeus. This add-on adds the option to players.
There's no way to use it in editor, until someone makes an add-on for it/PRs it into ACE

I saw this in the latest main branch but was wondering how to use it in the editor? The preview video showed putting down a module but isn't available in the editor or as a Zeus module. Do you know if there is any way for me to call it? Thanks!

great to see some trenches that go in the ground instead of on the ground

@NFIGMT sadly neither of those will probably make it in. As it uses terrain deformation, it can't be previewed locally and would deform the terrain for everyone. Same with the angle, as it uses terrain deformation, it's stuck to terrain grid.

This is just a compat that uses ACE to create the trench, if ACE ever figures it out, I'll be sure to implement it.

Nice work! But it can't preview where to build, and the angle of rotation.I hope these features can be updated thanks
