MBG Generic African Buildings problem

[Nikopol 3]

Hello everybody,

i'm trying to use this addon on my terrain but the textures are not showing on bulldozer and in game, an there's an error popup saying the game can't load the addon.

I've added the addon in the config.cpp of the island and added the MBG Generic African Buildings.pbo in the folder of my map before lauch with arma3 sync.

requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F","A3_Roads_F","A3_Structures_F","A3_Map_Data","A3_Map_Stratis","jbad_Structures","Jbad_sounds","brg_africa","jbad_Veg","RSPN_Assets","mbg_african_buildings"};

Thank you for any advices. :)

PS: i'm also using Jbad addon wich work fine and show in game.

there's an error popup saying the game can't load the addon.

I think this is the key to your problem. Does it say the MBG addon didn't load or your mod didn't? Where does this pop up (when the game is loading or when the mission/map is loading?). It might be worth searching your rpt file in %localappdata%\arma 3 for the error to see if there's any extra details.

Don't they need A2 to work?

Here's the rpt,

11:57:07 Warning Message: Cannot open object mbg_generic_african_buildings\mbg\mbg_generic_african_buildings\slums\mbg_slum01.p3d

11:57:07 Warning Message: Cannot open object mbg_generic_african_buildings\mbg\mbg_generic_african_buildings\slums\mbg_slum01c.p3d

The popup appears when editor is open with custom map loaded.

(AllinArma launched aswell with armasync)

How did you unpack and repack the pbo?

[Nikopol 3]

Unpacked with extractpbo to add buildings in terrain builder.

And the pbo in my island folder is the original downloaded from armaholic.

Try...

@Myisland/Addons/mbg_generic_african_buildings.pbo

@Myisland/Addons/Myisland.pbo

Yeah sorry it was like that with the addon folder, but i figured out what the problem was with MBG!

In P: it was

P:/mbg_generic_african_buildings/mbg/mbg_generic_african_buildings/data(etc)

And i changed to:

P:/mbg/mbg_generic_african_buildings/data

and it works fine, that is because when you unpbo, there's a folder created to the name of the pbo, and it's redundant for terrain builder. I think... Anyway it's working i'm happy, i can move forward. :p

Exactly this! I was too slow to reply ;)

Glad to hear you got it sorted.!

Thx, but another problem showed up. Graaaouu!

First, Imagetopaa vanished from the tools... yep so bulldozer was not able to make his thing with the tiles (after refreshing the sat map AND regenerating layers). I checked the tools integrity with steam, and imagetopaa came back. ok nice but now bulldozer crash everytime.

here's the rpt.

== P:\Buldozer.exe

== P:\Buldozer.exe -buldozer -window -exThreads=0 -mod= -noAsserts -nologs -profiles=P:\Buldozer -cfg=P:\Buldozer\Buldozer.cfg -name=Buldozer -connect=pipe\403C0,8EDB

Bulldozer still close itself after few seconds.

New message: "can't load file /data_f/halfa.paa"

I take anything.

[anthariel 165]

I got the same error there's a long time.

I've solved it with a fresh reinstall of A3 Assets on the P Drive so :

Delete the following folders :

• A3
  
• Bin
  
• dta
  
• Core
  

Then, run the lastest version of ArmA3P by Mikero.
