Bulldozer wont start

[Chip360 0]

I cant view my map (which Ive decided to work on again),

I click the button and I get the loading key but nothing happens after that, bulldozer never starts, I run the Arma Beta, but my init for it in the preferences points here :

E:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA\ArmA.exe -buldozer

And I am quite sure this is correct. Anyone know what the problem may be?

Maybe it's a problem in the config?

I guess no one knows huh? I was going to try and finish the project I was working on now before my transition to VBS2 and Visitor 4... but oh well, im not re-installing Everything to get it to work..

[paragraphic l 2]

I have NO idea but this looks strange to me:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> ViewAppCommand="O:\arma\ArmA2Int.exe -window -buldozer";

[Chip360 0]

Yea, same, I changed it to

ViewAppWorkDir="p:\";

ViewAppCommand="E:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA\ArmA.exe -buldozer -window";

but with no avail, the arma.exe process is running in the background, but I don't see anything...

[ArmaVidz 0]

Here's an example of a working Atari installation of ARMA, and bulldozer is working good.

It does seem strange that you'd have a reference to an O: drive in your config. That line should point toward the arma.exe

[Chip360 0]

Thanks for the config, I took note of a few other strange errors in mind, but even after correcting them it still didn't work ://

Oh well, I suppose visitor 4 and a new computer set-up (with a fresh hard-drive) isn't too far off for me... Ill get things working again..

Thanks for all the input guys.

[ArmaVidz 0]

It does help to uninstall the tools, and reinstall as well.

[Chip360 0]

lol, yea, I tried that twice (I just uninstalled it and reinstalled to be sure)

and I figured out that the reason it points to the O drive and the ArmA2init.exe by default is because I believe they were using that version of Visitor for ArmA II

I think my switch over to the personal edition is what killed it for me... I dont know, I am running vista now, could that be a problem? I really don't understand why it would just stop working all of a sudden... :/

[Chip360 0]

Okay, I reinstalled the game, yes it was a pain, and bulldozer *ALMOST* started, but I get this error:

Shaders invalid (Mismatch of Exe and Data?)

[MrMilli 0]

I recieved this error and followed this advice

Quote[/b] ]I think this error occurs when you change which version of ArmA.exe you are using, but do not update your p:\ drive with the relevant support files for the updated ArmA.exe.

Specifically, the bin folder, the product.bin in the dta folder and possibly the core folder.

The bin folder holds the shaders I believe, as well as other files needed.

Planck

and reinstalled O2 and this error went away (another one appeared, but nevermind - its explicitly stated o2 is unsupported software)

My god, Planck and MrMili I LOVE YOU

Thank you SO MUCH, a billion thank you's, I thought I'de never get this sorted out

Muahahahahahahaha, now its time for me to unleash some texture havok

Thanks again!
