Hi guys.

My buildozer F1 menu just shows as 4 empty click-boxes. Theres no text in it.. When i press in anyone of them, they work, but there isnt any text in the next menu aswell..

Any ideas?

Problem is that menu language variables are missing from the modtools we're using since A2 and AO compatible tools are still not available. p:\bin and \core folders contains the data, so backup folders and try to import AO stuff until it works...

It's not really necessary to get that buldozer menu working anyway dampetDK... the thread that akio posted is all the info you really need... Read right thru that thread and set up your buldozer accordingly... the "buldozer.Arma2profile" or whatever file you setup has all the same parameters as those menus... use the profile posted by Pigssy in that thread for crystal-clear and sharp buldozer with Visitor... the actual keyboard controls for buldozer - including vertice tweaking, are viewable and editable within the main game itself in the Control Options section... the ones you'll want to play with immediately are "H" to display the vertice cursor, then "U" and "J" to adjust the ground up or down by 1m... finer control is available by using the Arma2OA.exe as your viewer - like Ice says, though its a bit hit and miss at the moment - the tools need a little update in one or two areas to bring them in line with OA... No word from BIS on that score as yet... It'll happen tho... eventually...

Meantime we workaround...

I'm pretty sure theres been a thread or two about the whole buldozer controls menu thing... maybe try searching this section with a few keywords like "buldozer controls" and search posts as well as threads - sometimes people title their threads badly, not really mentioning the contents properly...

The road smoothing "thing" is a script you can find in :

Tools>Visitor3>Scripts

You can call it with the Script menu in Visitor3. It's easier to find it when you open your map .pew at start.

In Scripts, you can find quite useful item for map-making such as the Import/Export or Show/SetAbsoluteHeight functions.

With "road smoothing" ... a script with strange effect sometimes you can get a totally flat road or a road with a constant slope and so on.

On a totally and desperately flat map as must be a Danish map, it's not a very useful item unless you have played with terrain, trying to add some more broken grounds and the using the "moving average" option you can get your road to follow the terrain with no sharp edges.
