Bulldozer

Recommended Posts

Hm. This may sound like a stupid question - maybe that is just what it is - but I dont understand what the Bulldozer-Controls are good for as I ve never seen a bulldozer in the game.

Normally I would associate "bulldozer" with mapmaking, but...

Sorry if this question is really too stupid icon_rolleyes.gif

It's do do with modeling and island making. It wont be any use until the tools are out.

buldozer is the render utility associated with Oxygen - it renders the models and textures in real time using the same engine the game uses.

it has certain controls associated with it to allow you to explore and manipulate the rendered model. These are therefore listed in the controls menu.

Like Matt said, nothing to be concerned about till 1. The tools are available and 2. You decide you want to do some modding.

I guess they'll patch it to work when they plan to release the tools. Maybe 1.08 confused_o.gif

It might also crash because it expects O2 or Visitor to be running already, and/or some other parameters should be used along with it.

It's nothing to worry about yet.

Here's an answer right from the Arma video topic:

Alright its done!,

by the way, about dyslexi.coms arma trailer. many people wondered how he got the camera to shake in arma. then people thought it was his track IR, but no

go into the keyboard config, and change the bulldozer "look up, down ect" to mouse up, mouse down,

then you can make the screen shake as if bombs are blasting off next to you

So probably Bulldozer controls are associated to the camera.sqs freelook mode? I remember in OFP you couldn't set up special keys for that. The keys changed together with the settings for character controls.

they may well be, but primarily they are the controls for the render utility associated with oxygen... which is called buldozer

Have you tried arma.exe -bulldozer by any chance?

Because you have 'buldozer' there which is spelt incorrectly.

In ArmA it's 'buldozer' tounge2.gif . Besides, if he spelled the parameter wrong then ArmA should ignore it and run fine.

"arma.exe -buldozer" is working all the time (since german release - I think so).

I'm using it with the old O2 for some modeling.

Ah! My apologies then =D

I guess that's the Czech way of spelling it! =D

Just a note, in the buldozer controls if you configure the Look Left/Right/Up/Down as the "Mouse" left/right/forward/back you can freelook with the mouse. WSAD can be used for motion across the battlefield and freelook with the mouse at the same time. Note: using an analog source(?) such as the throttle on your joystick for vertical movement gives the camera much better controlled movement.
