Island making

[StrayBullet 0]

Hey there

I Have created my island in visitor and it works fine when I check it out in buldozer, however once I pbo it with MakePBO from amalfi and try to load it into OFP the game wont load correctly, I have tried the tutorial with different configs and my own with different configs.

So can someone make a small island in visitor create a working config.cpp and send it to me or post where i could download it.

This would help me alot thanks in advance!

DON'T USE MAKEPBO FOR ISLANDS!!!! That's what is stuffing it up. Use StuffPBO.

So far so good now it loads into the editor but it doesnt work when i press preview, then OFP reverts to desktop and I have to take ange management classes sooner than I had expected.

What to do?

The config works great and it solved my town naming issues, however it still crashes to desktop when I try previewing it, can it have somethin gto do with textures?

Maybe this will help, in bulldozer I dont get a map pressing "m" key. Is that normal?

I really appreciate the help!

Ahh...no idea. I don't use Visitor

[StrayBullet 0]

What do you use?

[Guest]

I started my islands a long time ago when the only tool around was WRPEdit....so continuing with that (there's format issues to do with that decision). If I was starting a new island now, I would use Visitor or WRPTool.

I tried making an island in WRPTool and used the config.cpp that you gave me, and it worked like a charm!!

Though imiss the texture belnding automatics from visitor...

Is there and easy way to work around that?

Thanks again for all the help!!

I usually dont want to poke into Visitor topics to bloat about WrpTool, but since you're directly asking... The next public version of WrpTool will have texture TRANSITION maker (not files, the texture transitions on your islands terrain).

And no, I have no idea when the next version will be released, but it should be soon.
