External Viewer problems

[brad.inggs 10]

Hi all,

I've been having no luck with getting my external viewer option to work from within the object builder.

For example:

I'm in Object Builder, I load up a sample file, say Test_Car_01 and then click on View>Viewers>Buldozer>Start and it comes up with "External Viewer attach failed" it then just loads straight into ARMA 3 game.

Is there something I'm missing here? In the ObjectBuilder options I have written in the External config settings:

P:\buldozer.exe -noland -window

DLL folder has p:\

and Path for textures P:\

I've read through the other threads regarding external viewer issues and haven't spotted a related issue so if I missed something, sorry but can't find anything.

Thank you a head for any assistance!

PS I did manage to get it to work a month ago but then had a harddrive format and had to reinstall everything and things just aren't working as smooth as they used too.

Your Buldozer configuration is wrong, the result you have is normal. I invite you to take a look at the manual, 2.3 Buldozer configuration, take a look at the notes ;)

Ps: It just miss -buldozer in your command line option ;)

Thank you tom_48_97, works now!

I'm just having a look at your handy communityUpdater application. Just a quick question, I'm experiencing an "operation timed out" popup titled "Microsoft .NET framework. Below is the exception text.

I have the latest .net framework but could I be missing something else? Sorry I know this is unrelated to the main post I opened but then I saw you created this awesome application. Thanks for any assistance!

See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Hello guys, I have accidentally found a fix, for this problem, if you got to Arma 3 folder and open "steam_appid.txt" and copy the number then in Arma 3 tools folder their will also be a "steam_appid.txt" paste that number into the "steam_appid.txt" located in your Arma 3 tools folder and that should fix it.
