Map Mod looking for rvmats in appdata

[Miroslaw Kowalski 54]

Hello guys,

I am building a small test terrain and everything works....at least for me. But when I try to load the map on another computer it says:

Cannot load material file c:\users\max\appdata\local\temp\data\layers\p_000-000_l00.rvmat

This path seems to be a path on my computer to my appdata...but why does it do that? I can't use the map on any other computer than mine...What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Buster

Do you have a properly set up p: drive?

And what do you use to create your pbos?

[Miroslaw Kowalski 54]

1. I guess so :D

2. I tried to use pboProject and it gave me this error so I tried the ArmA 3 Tools AddonBuilder to check if it works without fixing the error message...for me it works but not on any other computer...

[m1lkm8n 411]

It gave you what error.

Pboproject will not let you make a pbo if there are errors in your code and whatnot. Why would you try to circumvent that? That's bad practice.

It said that it was missing the file c:\users\max\appdata\local\temp\data\layers\p_000-000_l00.rvmat.... I tried to circumvent that because I was in a rush and wanted to see the result :D

c:\users\max\appdata\local\temp\data\layers\p_000-000_l00.rvmat....

In your Mapframe Properties "Location" tab there should be a "path to project folder" - make sure it points to your project folder root directory on P:\

I'm guessing that right now that path is set to "c:\users\max\appdata\local\temp\"

B

P.S.

After you fix the path you'll have to re-generate the Layers so they're created in the correct place (P:\MyTag\MyProject\Data\Layers), then re-export the .wrp and repack the terrain with PboProject....

I get you but then it leads to more errors. Patience is key. Get it done right the first time and you won't need to fret.

Now when you say I guess about the p drive what do you mean? How did you set up your p drive?

-disregard the above about the p drive. Bush is more than likely right

[Miroslaw Kowalski 54]

Thanks both of you :D It was set to c:\users\max\appdata\local\temp\ and I changed it...

Sorry guys but I got another question: Is there a config entry that can raise or lower the water level?

I swear I saw a picture of someone who did this but I cannot find a reference to it anywhere. You can try messing with the maxTide value. Apparently that is what happened here: http://www.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/2k4uif/. Note that this may not work on all days/times.
