visitor 3 error

[don2k7 1]

hello

ok so ive decided to learn to make a map installed the lastest tools and read through the forum and tutorials here ive done everything to the letter and after some trial and error am up to the point where i import the sat and mask images but get an error message saying error loading P:\

im guessing this path isnt correct for the system preferance - path to realtime viewer working dir:

any help would be great in fixing this please,

my first map is only a small slightly hilly desert map with no water

ive been working though the sample guide first tho and cant get past this error on a plus buldozer works

You do have a P drive correct? If you go to My Computer the P Drive shows up?

Next Ideas:

In Visitor,

Tools > System Preferences. What do the two boxes say?

Tools > Project Preferences. What does the Folder - Textures box say?

Can you paste your layers.cfg? (preferably by using the Code Button above the text field you type in on the forum (Looks like a # and is between the word bubble and < > sign when in Advanced post mode))

hi Jakerod, yes i do have a p:\ showing on my computer

tools> system preferences first box p:\

second box "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2OA.exe" -window -buldozer\ -addons=C:\Users\Home1\Documents\ArmA\Buldozer.cfg

tool project preferences are p:\don\desert1\data

the layers.cfg is the tut sample cfg but have also tried the BI sample map both do the same error, hence the thought i was missing something in the v3 ssetup but tutorials and forums have and havent helped if you get what i mean

In your system preferences second box copy what you have into something else and save it as a backup. Then try copying and pasting this:

"p:\buldozer.exe" -window -buldozer -cfg=bdozer.cfg -profiles=P:\ -exThreads=0

If that doesn't just try removing elements from the line about. I can't remember which are actually require right now.

hi tried that and still get the same error message 'error loading P:\' when trying to import sat and mask images

is it just meant to be p:\ in the first box on system preferences?

Yes.

Check your Project Preferences. What you have at the texture folder path. Should be p:\yourtag\yourmap\data .

And hmm, at what point the error comes? When importing sat data or after that when launching bulldozer?

hi jorski, thanks for confiming that,

yes my project preferences path is correct as per your example, i get the error after i click import sat+mask... select cfg, sat image then mask image then when i click ok it starts to import then i get the error message

buldozer seems to lauch ok

Double&Triple check your layers.cfg paths and .rvmat files in \data folder. Notice that the lines are without the "P:\". I really don't have a clue what could cause that kind a error, just throwing suggestions :) I myself have discovered that always in the end the problem was in the paths... Of course you could also post your layers.cfg here. And make sure you have the MapLegend.png also in source folder and right path to it in .cfg.

hi and thanks it a a missing ';' in the config so that bit is fixed

lol now it gets halfway through importing sat image and crashes
