Cant binarize after moving into "namespace"

[Ki-/i 10]

Hi

I recently learned that i should use a "namespace" for my editing project and after setting it up i can no longer binarize my project.

I first checked all the usual suspects, configs rvmats and layer.cfg for errors in the paths but cant find any problems with them.

Then i checked the log file from BinPBO and unfortunately i cant make much sense of it.

Any ideas or other help would be much appreciated.

Not nessisarily true. "Urban Legend" if you ask me ;)

I've never used "namespace" and all my released projects work just fine.

Was there any reason you were chaning to namespace ?

No, not really.

So if i cant get this to work i will just go back to my old folder structure.

But it would be nice if i got it to work, makes my P: drive alot less cluttered as i have a few testing projects laying around too.

hi kivi

i haven't a clue what namespace is, it's bandied about a lot and means just about anything anyone wants it to mean.

i rarely use binpbo for anything these days. it's a good proggie, but it's a little too clever by half, and can be a total pig because it spends most of it's time binarising EVERY config it can find on and in p:\everywhere

as for p:\, the bottom line is that you MUST, repeat, MUST set it up to reflect *every* pbo of the arma2/oa/ or co / and or beta patches of the 'game' that you have. half measures will fail in frustrating ways. quite a few pbo's overclass the base configs that come with personal tools. Building without the full kitchen sink will generally produce 'interesting' results.

firstly and obviously p:\ca\everything but what's not 'obvious' are the following

p:\core (from dta)

p:\bin (from dta)

p:\langaugecore from dta i think

p:\@ion_rte

p:\@ion_rte_data

p:\dta with a copy of product.bin (for buldozer)

p:\anything\else bis suddenly decide to add to their current folder names

and, you *must* copy languagecore.xml to \bin because binarise (not binpbo) get's it's knickers in a twist

the *garanteed* way of setting up p: 'properly' for *any* engine is to use arma2p.cmd

http://dev-heaven.net/projects/mikero-pbodll/files

most of the hard work in there has been done by Dwarden, with a little contribution or two from me, mostly in providing deRapped rvmats and configs.

and yes, ok, you have all your stuff on p: and aren't happy you have to pentruple disk size to accommodate all bis pbos but tuff and too bad. that's bis 'namespace' or in proper context \pboPrefix for you.

i know i haven't properly answered your query re binpbo, but the above is first step. *most* other issues become obvious after the above has been done.

hope that helpz

Hi Mikero!

Wow! this looks like it could be amazingly handy! It would save a ton of manual faffing about!

Brilliant!

I wonder - is it smart enough to work with my annoying Disc Arma 2, but Steam OA Combined Ops setup?

If so I might do a backup of essentials and try a reinstall just to see how much stuff I've actually got missing from my current setup! :o

@Mikero:

As always your work is invaluable for most of the guys "lurking" around... and thanks so many for all your efforts!!!

I have a question related to updates on p:\ca ...

As a member of Comunidad Latioamericana de ArmA 2 -we run A2CO with more than 4 GB of addons!!!- I had to use a Beta patch (I do not like them cause I tend to avoid experiments while creating arma maps) and after running BinPBO my log started to warn something about original models from arma2 -hangar2.p3d if I remember well...

When binarizing I noted the terrain updates it self with stuff laying on p:\ca folder... so what happens after applying a beta patch or even an official update... do I have to extract all filles to p:\ca again????

Haha! finaly figured out what email i used for my old account!

Thats my plan too atm, complete re-install.

Seems i managed to restore my P drive from the wrong backup last time and i somehow got ARMA files mixed in, im suprised it still worked at all.

I guess i could still sort it out manualy but will be much quicker to just nuke the whole thing and start over.

Mikero: Thanks for the heads up, will make it that much quicker to get up and running again!

I do not think there is much risk of that in this part of the forums, and your english seems ok to me.
