Help! I can't make P drive

Recommended Posts

Hi all! 

I have an experience my game is laggy because I placed many objects on the map like this pictures.

many objects

So, I've been thinking I have to make my own maps, terrain.

But when it comes to it, I know nothing.

I only know the name of some tools, like arma 3 tools, bulldozer...

I tried to install arma 3 tools, referring to the following link.

Arma 3: Tools Installation

I think I could install it.

my arma3 tools.exe is in D/steamlibrary/steamapps/common/arma3 tools.

 

Buldozer Manual

bulldozer
what does "populate by work drive" mean and couldnt make P drive.

When I look at my computer folder, there was no P drive.

 

Plz tell me how to make P drive and can I edit the map I made with eden editor (see the link many objects above)?

Turn OFF auto mount in arma tools

Your P drive says 12gb free as you are using a folder on your C drive. The P drive is a fake drive

 

You need to make the P drive folder on your D or G drive, as it has more free space

I read "Next you need to replace the mapdisk.bat file~Use this for “mapdisk.bat” replacement:
but i couldnt understand how to do it at all.

 

i just clicked mapdisk.bat in arma 3 tools(D/steamlibrary/steamapps/common/arma 3 tools)
he said, program terminated, hit any key to exit.

and i found i got P drive (like picture, he has 12.2 gb) but empty inside of P drive.

 

and what is arma3work? I made Arma 3 Projects in document before.

i dont run ArmA3P.cmd yet, but he is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mikero\DePboTools\bin

no for you p drive, you need to make a folder on your D or G drive, that will act as your P drive

like this

@echo off
if exist p: (subst p: /d)
subst p: D:\ArmaMap
rem      ^^change this ^^ and this

The .bat file won't make the folder, you will need to make a folder called for example "ArmaMap" on your D drive. THEN run the bat file, an it will mount that folder as your P drive

hello, thank u very much for your reply.
 

i found p drive has gone today.

move "Arma 3 Projects" that I made for Arma 3 tools from C to D.
i found 2 of mapdisk.bat, one locates in downloads and the other locates in 
D:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Arma 3 Tools
when i opened mapdisc which locats in downloads, he said as follows.

--------------------------------------------------------------
@echo off

if exist p: (subst p: /d)

subst p: "C:\Users\User\Documents\Arma 3 Projects"

rem      ^^change this ^^ and this

-------------------------------------
so i changed like this
---------------------------------
@echo off

if exist p: (subst p: /d)

subst p: "D:\Arma 3 Projects"

rem      ^^change this ^^ and this

-----------------------------------

closed mapdist.dat n double click it and found P drive exists
and he has 307 G
did I succeed to make P drive correctly?


os:win7

 

location of each files

Arma 3 Project: D
Arma3 tools.exe: D/steamlibrary/steamapps/common/arma3 tools

for example, change picture 1 to picture 2↓
