Arma 3 Tools Wont extract game data

[Michael Wellington 0]

So i was having a problem with my Buldozer (freezing / lagging), So i updated buldozer but after that it just didnt open. So i read up on some forum posts and some fixs said to reinstall arma 3 tools / the p drive. Which i did, but now its not extracting my game data.

Error:

Target purged: F:\Workdrive\A3
The Game directory is valid.

I have directed the paths my self so it is all defiantly going to where it needs to go. If any more info is needed i can try and add it.

Thanks.

Use latest arma3p https://dev.withsix.com/projects/mikero-pbodll/files

Then set terrain builder to use arma3.exe instead of bulldozer, as they are the same thing. here is how to do it

Same problem here. Would be nice if the tools that BIS provides work.

See my post above. If you are doing terrains, you should be using mikeros tools anyway

In TB, do tools>preferences>Buldozer>exe path. Change that to your arma3.exe, mine looks like this "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3.exe"

Here you can find the basic controlls for buldozer: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Buldozer_Manual

And no, usually it should be colored (just like normal Arma, with reduced quality and without clutter). Of course this depends on the config of your map (light-settings etc.)

Updating 1.82 is a horror for Arma 3 Tools. It did not work properly to get reinvented. And now (Extract Game Data) does not extract all the files. For example from the folder (Addons). Retrieves only all files from (Argo - Heli -Jets-Mark) how to fix it.

Use arma3p, the arma tools extractor is well known for being broke! Download and install all these

https://armaservices.maverick-applications.com/Products/MikerosDosTools/FileBrowserFree

You should be using them anyway, as addon builder is crap for building maps. 99% of people on here use pboproject, for packing terrains.

 

*NOTE* After running arma3p it will remove buldozer! You need to use your arma3.exe like this https://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=arma3:tools:buldozer

I've found the issue, It should be fixed with the version below, can you give it a try?

What's wrong with this bulldozer?  The camera in (buldozer.exe or  buldozer_x64.exe) does not move.  Do not move at all. 

Help please

DON'T USE ARMA TOOLS TO EXTRACT GAMEDATA!

 

This is all over the forums, but still people do it. Use Arma3p
