[WIP] New map incoming need help

[StrangerADanger 10]

http://i.imgur.com/PEMj3l3.png (142 kB) Thats my P drive if it helps. I think you have the A2 Tools you need A3 Tools. Easy, click tools from the library drop down in steam. Install ArmA 3 Tools in the list. If you need help setting up the P Drive just ask. Edited January 23, 2015 by StrangerADanger

As I've already said to you, use mikero's tool and read some tutorial.

[StrangerADanger 10]

This is the way i set up mine. http://imgur.com/a/UQjjQ the BI wiki also has a in-depth page about this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Buldozer_Manual

I think both Ironmentalist and StrangerADanger need to run Mikero's Arma3P, I don't see the A3 folder in either of their screenshots.

[StrangerADanger 10]

I have not no, i honestly just started with this terrain creation. It it needed, or should i?

[badluckburt 78]

If you plan on using any of the Arma 3 assets on your terrains, then yeah, you'll need the PBO's unpacked that contain those assets.

Mikero's Arma3P automates that whole process for you and unpacks all the PBO's to the correct folders.

[StrangerADanger 10]

Ran in to this.

[giallustio 770]

Did you read the read me inside the doc folder?

[StrangerADanger 10]

Using the Updater

[giallustio 770]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mikero\DePboTools\docs\ArmA3p\Arma3p.ReadMe

[StrangerADanger 10]

Hm, did every thing it asked.

[badluckburt 78]

I'm running Arma3P myself atm (needed to anyway after the last update) and it's unpacking my pbo's no problem.

Anyway, I'm going to ask you a silly question. Could you verify that there is an Addons folder in that path: I:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Arma 3

[StrangerADanger 10]

Yep, No idea why its throwing the error.

[badluckburt 78]

Weird, I have no idea what could cause that unless it's another case of UAC but I'm just guessing.

Comparing your screenshot to the arma3p.cmd, it seems you get to that point and stop there.

echo extracting the addons folder....
extractpbo -p "%_ARMA3PATH%\Addons" p:\
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto err

[StrangerADanger 10]

Yeah, This is my path I:\steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Addons Hmph

[badluckburt 78]

Yeah, This is my path I:\steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Addons Hmph

That is not the same path as before: I:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Arma 3

You may want to try validating your game data or removing the faulty registry key by hand but I'm pretty sure that's your problem.

[StrangerADanger 10]

Gosh im pointless, Thanks that worked. cant believe i did not see that.

i run the mikero s tool rma3p thats what i get...it seems that "arma 3 does not exist in the registry" :/

[StrangerADanger 10]

Only thing i can think is that you haven't ran ArmA 3

[giallustio 770]

@ironmentalist

Could you post your RPT? You can find it here: C:\Users\your_name\AppData\Local\Arma 3

[kerkkoh 35]

@ironmentalist, I just took a look at your P:\ screenshot and I think you have the same problem that I had. Basically nowadays A3 tools doesn't actually mount the P:\ correctly at computers startup and that means that it shows some A2 related files there and it looks like it is mounted, but it is not actually. Go to A3 Tools and mount the P:\ drive again and all the A3 related stuff should appear like the new buldozer. Hope this helped.

[ironmentalist 10]

it doesnt seem to exist:0

@kerkkoh i did it manually but i am having some trouble...i miss the "A3" folder in P so i tried to use mikero s but it shows an error :( Giallustio i followed yor. "address" but i cant find neither an AppData folder...ive an application data but it is odf Adobe media player?0_o

[badluckburt 78]

@ironmentalist

If it shows an error, it really helps if you would tell us what is. Just saying 'it shows an error' doesn't tell us anything.

And what do you mean by 'i did it manually'?

If you can't see the AppData folder, unhide hidden and system folders in Windows Explorer.

And for sake of completion, every time the Arma Tools get updated on my rig, I lose the P: drive, courtesy of BI so I put together a quick CMD script that'll restore it:

Swap out 'Z:\Users\TheEvilEye\Documents\ArmAWork' with your own path and that folder will get mounted as ze P-drive.

subst p: /d
pause
subst p: Z:\Users\TheEvilEye\Documents\ArmAWork

[ironmentalist 10]

@BadLuck i posted a pic (low quality sorry) in the previous post so you can see the very exact words it shows me

it works now i can see the appdata thanks Bad;D
