Buldozer cannot find textures

Recommended Posts

So I've been following the "Arma 2 Terrain Tutorial" and have followed all the instructions to the best of my ability, but I have hit a snag...Buldozer refuses to convert my .png files to .paa, and I am not sure why. When it tries to convert the files, it only shows - - - - - -- --- - -- - - and then blender informs me that it cannot find the .paa file (obviously Buldozer, you didn't convert it!). I am pretty sure the paths are correct, if there is a place to put a path for Buldozer to find the textures it needs to convert, I have yet to find it, and I have made sure the texture size is 40.0m x 40.0m...ugh...I am starting to feel ill...I really want to make mods and addons, but man, there's tons of snags it seems. Any advice is appreciated, I'm gonna take a break from the computer now.

Did you go to Tools > Project Preferences and then type the correct path into the textures part?

Thank you so much for your reply Jakerod, you are the first to comment on one of my posts, anyways, I had already checked and rechecked the paths within visitor3, but to no avail. Then I decided that if Buldozer was not going to convert my files, I would manually put every .png into TexView and convert them myself!...but because through the visitor tutorial, I had moved the location of my BIS TOOLS2, I could not open TexView. I decided to uninstall my BI TOOLS 2 and then reinstall them into my alternate work drive I had created (not the P: drive, the other one...not sure what it's proper name is). Turns out this worked, not only to fix Texview, but also the paths Buldozer needed; I'm still not sure why this worked, has to be something with Buldozer's search paths, regardless, now I can view my map in buldozer just fine.

Thanks again for the reply, now I just need some help with my character model (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?141131-Editing-models-(soldier)-while-retaining-vertex-selections) and I should be good to go with making some addons. Cheers!
