Another TB problem :(

[hdchristopher 11]

When I try to generate the layers in terrain Builder I am having this issue

Can't load image from file 'P:\': file does not exist.

Layers generation - PNGOVerlapV3Style.cpp bool V3PictureDataMod::LoadFromFile( const char* filename = "P:\" ) Unable to open the image file.

Layers generation - Unable to load the file "P:\".

Everything appears to be setup correctly. This is a fresh install.

Here is the layers cfg

class Layers
{
 class ofc_strbeach 
 { 
   texture = #(rgb,1,1,1)color(0.5,0.5,0.5,1,cdt); 
   material = "ofc\fiji\data\ofc_strbeach.rvmat"; 
 }; 
 class ofc_strgreengrass 
 { 
   texture = #(rgb,1,1,1)color(0.5,0.5,0.5,1,cdt); 
   material = "ofc\fiji\data\ofc_strgreengrass.rvmat"; 
 }; 
 class ofc_stony 
 { 
   texture = #(rgb,1,1,1)color(0.5,0.5,0.5,1,cdt); 
   material = "ofc\fiji\data\ofc_stony.rvmat"; 
 }; 
 class ofc_concrete 
 { 
   texture = #(rgb,1,1,1)color(0.5,0.5,0.5,1,cdt); 
   material = "ofc\fiji\data\ofc_concrete.rvmat"; 
 }; 
};

class Legend
{
 picture="ofc\fiji\source\mapLegend.png";
 class Colors
 {
   ofc_strbeach[]={{230,230}120}; 
   ofc_strgreengrass[]={{50,160,50}}; 
   ofc_stony[]={{0,100,250}}; 
   ofc_concrete[]={{170,70,170}}; 
 };
};

Missing "}"

ofc_strbeach[]={{230,230}120};

Should be :-

ofc_strbeach[]={{230,230}120}};

Also you can change all texture to:

texture ="";

That should then do the trick :)

Thanks for finding that error, but sadly, that didnt fix it.

I have also went back to my other maps that worked perfectly before, and now they give me the same error.

It's a Windows/Tools problem - probably something to do with running as "admin" Vs "normal" - it literally isn't finding your P:\ drive.... Thats why ALL your previously working terrains suddenly.... aren't...

Well I have run out of ideas on how to fix this problem. It only started after the last update.

1) Added P:\ to the environmental variables path

2) I have tried mapping to a different drive letter.

3) Uninstalled everything Arma and Steam related and re-downloaded it.

4) Even went so far as to wipe out my entire HD and put on a fresh install of windows 7, then re-downloaded all things Arma again, but still get same damn error.

5) Also tried setting the preferences under the tools\settings.

Why can it not see my P; drive? Does anybody have any ideas what to try next?

[Cype_Revenge 651]

You installed your P drive from Steam?

I can only recommend to install the P drive with the tools from Mikero!

and an installationvideo :

this works perfect for me since months!

maybe helps :rolleyes:

Fact is mapDisk mounts P for Admins and users. Looks like P is not mounted at all.

1. Are you able to see you P: drive in the explorer?
   
   1. 
      
   2. If yes, are you able to manipulate files?
      
   3. If not, open a command prompt, type "subst", [ENTER] and paste the result here. (twice, with a normal user prompt and an administrator one)
      

[*]Which version of the tools are you using? (stable branch or development (if dev, with or without hot fixes?))

[*]What is your OS?

[*]Since when does the problem exist?

If it's a matter of administrator rights, the problem remains unchanged because if you just run "subst p: "someDrive\somePath"", you will mount P only for the current user level. When a drive is substituted with a normal user, administrators won't see it and vice versa. But still a good tutorial if you are sure you have only one user level involved.

In the following example, I mounted X: with an administrator account. Windows rights management can be a headache :)

again i learned something here....

Thanks Tom

[hdchristopher 11]

Tom_48_97, I use only an administrator account, no user accounts. Thanks for trying to get me straightened out. :) Here are the answers to your questions:

Are you able to see you P: drive in the explorer?

Can you manipulate files?

Yes

open a command prompt, type "subst", [ENTER]

Which version of the tools are you using?

Stable Branch

What is your OS?

Windows 7 64 bit

Since when does the problem exist?

Since last update.

Thanks for the thought, but no go.

*****UPDATE 8/27/2014*****

I have just switched over to my Windows 8 side and installed Arma 3 and Arma 3 tools. Had to use hot-fix bat's to mount P: drive.

I then created a small map for test and I get the exact same error on the Windows 8 side

Can't load image from file 'P:\': file does not exist.

Layers generation - PNGOVerlapV3Style.cpp bool V3PictureDataMod::LoadFromFile( const char* filename = "P:\" ) Unable to open the image file.

Layers generation - Unable to load the file "P:\".

I also get this error

Rvmat conf - LayerRvmatCFG.cpp bool CLayerRvmatCFG::Open( const char* filename = "p:\ofc\fiji\data\gdt_strbeach.rvmat" ) Source file cannot be opened...

Rvmat conf - LayerRvmatCFG.cpp bool CLayerRvmatCFG::Open( const char* filename = "p:\ofc\fiji\data\gdt_strgreengrass.rvmat" ) Source file cannot be opened...

Rvmat conf - LayerRvmatCFG.cpp bool CLayerRvmatCFG::Open( const char* filename = "p:\ofc\fiji\data\gdt_stony.rvmat" ) Source file cannot be opened...

Rvmat conf - LayerRvmatCFG.cpp bool CLayerRvmatCFG::Open( const char* filename = "p:\ofc\fiji\data\gdt_concrete.rvmat" ) Source file cannot be opened...

So I dont think it's my operating systems, but something you changed in the latest update

Anyone else having this issue?
