memphisbelle 99 Posted April 24, 2008 I have but two small questions and these are,1.) How do I properly place roads because I read some topics and I guess you have to do it a certain way? 2.)How do I place grass over a large area? Thank you, Hoop Now when I fixec my problem again, so I can try to help....again. 1.) read the Visitor manual in the Biki...the link I send you..it´ll tell you EVERYTHING you need. 2.) what kind of grass would you like to place? if you mean the grass which is seen ingame so you cant place it cause its alreayd a part of the respective grass texture. If you mean p3d grass addons like small plants so you need to place them there you´d like to place...but take care about the perfomrmance...so more objects so less the performance.... A Tip which I can give you...from my expiriences...when you ask every small question so you will not get own expiriences. You only do things what other guys are telling you and you´ll not learn own things...thats quite needed....I had a few questions as well..OK..but most of my Problems have been cleared up by my self....i.e. the roads....

icfhoop 0 Posted April 25, 2008 Ok im trying to learn, but I looked at the biki, and I am still really confused, first on why the roads have no textures, and then how to even make roads for a city, please explain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
memphisbelle 99 Posted April 25, 2008 An also quite good helping assessment is to use images in your posts. That could help to help you. So your problems with the road textures...what problem is it already? Are the textures not beeing displayed, so you always get a errormessage that some textures can not be loaded...what is your problem? Dont use the Forum just to wrote somethings...but its one can help much more when you give some more information. So let me know what your problem is...I think I know what you mean...but I am not sure....tell me more accurate... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icfhoop 0 Posted April 25, 2008 Ok I place a road in Visitor, once this is accomplished o go to buldozer to view this road, but I get an error message, saying cannot load texture ...., and it shows the road as plain white. Im thinking it has something to do with the rvmats or paa's. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
memphisbelle 99 Posted April 26, 2008 How is your objects folder look like? That problem causes out of the fact that visitor cant find the textures which are saved in a data folder: Does your objects (actually each objects folder) look like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icfhoop 0 Posted April 26, 2008 No it didnt have thoese two folders so I assume I just copy and past them there from the roads.pbo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
memphisbelle 99 Posted April 26, 2008 No it didnt have thoese two folders so I assume I just copy and past them there from the roads.pbo? Yeah, you should do, but dont use the default ArmA roads. If you are already use them so delete all the respective folders like roads, plants, buildings aso and use the mlod objects. For some reason the default ArmA roads doesnt work....dont know why. You can download them directly from my server, if its needed. Download Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icfhoop 0 Posted April 27, 2008 Technology... you love it so much you hate it. I've hit another roadblock, this time a major one. I downloaded the mlods, then tried replacing the roads in the ca folder with those, then I connected to bulldzer and all it was was water,everywhere on the map, no land just water, I deleted all objects then retried it, still water... so then I reimported sat and mask literally 4 times, nothing water, not even the batch file came up upon starting buldozer, then I tried making a complete new .pew file, re-imported terrain, re-imported sat and mask, and what do I get, water world! I am really sorry for always asking for help but I have tried everything i could think of, if anybody can help me, please do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

memphisbelle 99 Posted April 27, 2008 sorry to ask but how do I know my point of view thanks. Oh man.....whats up with you guy?.....you already had this Problem a few days ago and I told you how to solve it...its actually not a problem, but you only forget to do a little small thing... I have not intention to tell it again, so just check out your OWN Topic.. We already talked about that...click me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icfhoop 0 Posted April 27, 2008 Ok I did re-do everything, but it is still water even on the land everywhere I checked the square, everywhere its just water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
memphisbelle 99 Posted April 27, 2008 It would be great if someone would care about my problem as much as I do for icfhoop.... OK...a little bit would be fine as well.... link to my problem OK, back to you... again...Islands doesnt disappear for nothings...So if your island was still there the last time before this problem came up first time, and you did nothings, just check the square position. I had this problem yesterday as well....so I closed the whole Project (Buldozer and V3) and opened it again...voila, my Island was back...I have absolutly no clue what it is about your island....sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icfhoop 0 Posted April 27, 2008 I really do appreciate your help memphis belle, I know im probably the biggest idiot here, but thanks for helping me, I just dont get why my importing sat and mask does not finish and why the conversion doesnt start up when i start bulldozer, but thanks anyways.

memphisbelle 99 Posted April 28, 2008 at first you are not an idiot....just a noob...as I am btw... When you put your island into V3 so it isnt possible to make her disapear, even you are using some of the terrain verticis tool (or however they are called). So when you import your sat and mask file the island should still be there. If the import process havent been finished succesfull so the Island itself is still existing. Make sure to place the white square at the correct position on the map to make your island visible again. If all these things doesnt take any effect so we should meet in teamspeak to finaly fix your problems..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

icfhoop 0 Posted April 28, 2008 Dear Lord God Almighty Who's Name Is Holy, I got it back to normal. Â What it was is when I deleted the folder in CA for raods and such and replaced them with them mlods, I did not delete one of the old objects that was in the map therefore causing the bug. Â I actually for once conquered my stupidity (for a moment). Â Thanks for putting up and helping me so muchMemphis Belle, for shure you will be in the credits when I publish my map And 1 more thing the mlod roads do I put the data folder that came with the dl into the roads folder, or the 1 from the roads.pbo?

memphisbelle 99 Posted April 29, 2008 And 1 more thing the mlod roads do I put the data folder that came with the dl into the roads folder, or the 1 from the roads.pbo? Yes, of course....thats quite important to use these ones. So if all works fine for you now I wish you good luck and always good ideas while creating your Island...
