Topography command

[Frans 0]

Does anyone know how to get the topography command to work? (see Wiki)

I get the message "Activating TOPOGRAPHY", but no file is created anywhere. Tried on a terrain detail of very low, low and normal, but no luck so far.

Yes but did you try to look into the retarded Documents and Settings dir with the HIDDEN dirs also?

I searched for files (*.*) with a changedate of today (well, yesterday) throughout my whole system, including hidden and system files. Nothing.

Did you get it to work? If so, what are your settings?

It might be something to do with this command:

exportLandscapeXYZ

According to the patch, it's now been disabled. Perhaps the pre-patched version of Arma will work?

Nope, the TOPOGRAPHY cheat works, tried it earlier today (had to enter TOPOGRAPHZ due to my keyboard settings I guess), although I think it only works on very low terrain setting. The file ends up on the root dir on C: drive, and it's named after the island extension.

OK.. what does this mean? Does it create a file containing a replay kind of file of everyones movements?

doesn't topograph has something to do with maps or something?

@Sniperwolf: It still won't work for me. Two questions:

- What ArmA version did you try it in? I used German DVD version patched to 1.01, patched to English.

- Did you install in in the default location? Mine is installed in D:\Arma

I tried Ramadi as well as Sahrani, no luck on either.

Too bad, I wanted to make a large print to use as a tactical map.

My ArmA is Czech version 1.01, also English patched, and install folder is H:\Games\ArmedAssault

Try setting your terrain detail to very low, it might do the trick.

I tried terrain detail very low already. I'll try turning everything to very low settings, and if that fails, will reinstall and try 1.00.

Update:

I finally managed to get it working on Rahmadi. Sahrani still won't work. It might be because of the filesize, Rahmadi (intro.emf) was 40113 KB, so Sahrani might give a very large file. Free space on C: was 6,68 GB.
