Editing terrain in Buldozer

Did anyone tried this?

I want to do some extra editing while Im in buldozer and this cursor would be very useful for what i want, but i don't know how to make it work, not even with this hint.

"H" key doesn't work, then i need to follow the hint but don't know what to do..

If you don't see the large white arrow and white cube, you may need to re-install Visitor. The UI.pbo data was missing from the original release, but the second release (several months ago) resolved this issue.

From memory, turning on the vertex lock makes the large arrow "snap" to the nearest terrain vertex. I actually don't have the tools on my new PC, I should really install them again...

thanks.. i didnt know there was other version of vistor3

is this the newest?

edit: another question.. if i install the new version will i lose all P:\?

On Windows XP the P:\ drive is actually just a "shortcut" to the files in your My Documents\ARMA\ARMWORK folder. If you back up the ARMAWORK folder you'll have saved your work from "any" damage as a result of reinstalling. It should be fine, but just incase...

I've tried using the terrain raise/lower feature in Visitor which isn't bad for placing objects. It raises/lowers in .5meter and 1.0meter increments.

It would be neat to figure out how to make the movement in Visitor move quicker than one press of the arrow button, so you could sweep across land to make ditches and rivers etc.

I tried setting the bulldozer controls to an analog control, like on my joystick, but none of them work. Ironically, my joystick and the bulldozer controls work for unit movement and camera movement, but not for bulldozer. LOL.

Also, if you're missing the arrow, before reinstalling, press H. If it comes back, don't reinstall.

I have the problem that I already have the newest Version of Visitor3 and can nevertheless not see the huge arrow with the cube. I am pressing H button as a maniac ...but nothings happens. Any Ideas?

[memphisbelle 99]

Isnt there anyone who know how to fix that problem?

A complete un-installation then re-installation of the latest tool release (this includes the P virtual drive and it's contents) has been an effective solution in every other case I know of.

yes, try to uninstall visitor and install visitor from this:

ftp://downloads.bistudio.com/Tools/BI_Editing_ToolsRC3.zip () this has the latest Visitor that i mentioned previous post.

Good luck.

Thanks for the replys guys...I´ll try.

hmmm...the only think what is wondering to me is that I uninstalled and reinstalled Visitor about 3 times already, but these trys still hasnt take any effect. I havent used the link given by bravo6 yet, so I put lots of hope in it.

yup, its probably because you are using the old version of Visitor3 wich did not had the white indicator square.

Do what was suggested above and your problem will probably disapear.

Oh dear...now I have another big Problem.... Well.. how to get started??

I downloaded the BIS tool pack and noticed that I already have that pack downloaded and Visitor installed with that. I thought by my self that it cant be bad to install the P drive again...so I installed Visitor and P drive. Back in Visitor I tried to run Buldozer and got shocked...suddenly Buldozer wasnt running but I got this error message:

I got wondered a lot..pressed OK and got this message:

that was all

I thought that the Problem was the bin.pbo, so I got it again from the ArmA main directory and placed it again into P:\bin (extracted of course, with unpbo from Amalfie..as I did the very first time).

But the errormesage still gets up each time I try to run Buldozer..It seems that it wasnt a good idea to reinstall the P drive....what can I do?

Hope you can help me

[memphisbelle 99]

I fixed my Problem...For some reason the bin folder was located in P:\bin\bin...so Visitor couldnt find it....

edit:

but by the way...the arrow courser with the cube still not appear

[memphisbelle 99]

Ok...what else can I do?

- I installed the latest V3 version (including uninstalling and reinsatlling the P drive)

- I added the UI.pbo and UIfonts.pbo to the P:\ca directory (unpacked of course).

- I also created the ArmaAddons.txt file and added the respective order to the System preferences....

but of any those things I did, I still cant use that $§"&%(/%!"§" (censored) Arrow and its cube to edit the terrain in Buldozer mode.

But I could need it so much....

Isnt there another way to fix that problem..

Please...

[memphisbelle 99]

Great...doesnt anyone have a idea?

May it be that I mustnt unpck the UI.pbo and UIFonts.pbo? I´ll gonna try it...

Is this option so less used that noone knows the needed solution?
