    three reply emails were sent to you as xxx. My isp says they were delivered (no reject, no bounce)

    my discord name is xxx. this might be your quickest method of getting it fixed. However, if you want fast, interactive responses in general, from anyone, use the appropriate arma discord channels (such as tool-makers) rather than forums at all.I have no idea why you would want to put the bytex installers anywhere else but default. However, the downloads themselves are unlikely to be an issue. The installers do not run as admin, >except< depbo64.dll

    And still, despite the message above, you still have not told me about the PATH environment variable, nor, whether you typed the magic words:

    rapify and makepbo in a dos console

     

    I checked and neither your email nor your domain are blocked, so somewhere between your computer and mine, your emails aren't reaching me.   Please remove the email address you posted in your reply above, and cancel my order and refund my purchase.   Thank you.

    I've already asked you, by email, to contact me direct on Discord. You haven't.
    I've asked you to tell me explicitly that you altered the >>PATH<<< variable in the >>USER<< environment. You haven't replied.
    I've asked you to use a dos console on your PC to type the magic words 'rapify' and give me the result. You haven't.
    I've asked you to do the same for 'makepbo' and got no answer.

    You did not reply to Rof when he asked you want you mean by 'changing the installer's folder'. What else did you alter? We won't know because you wont even reply to what we ask YOU.

    But, you have done a great job of raising this same message to me, bytex, and two forums at bis, expecting (i assume) an answer that suits you better.

     

    I haven't received any email from you.  Did I give you an incorrect email address?  I know bytex has the correct one, and you and I have corresponded before; I've used your tools for several years.  

    I'm not looking for an answer that suits me better, just an answer that helps me get the program working.

     

    Since I haven't received your questions before now I'll do my best to answer here.

    >I've asked you to tell me explicitly that you altered the >>PATH<<< variable in the >>USER<< environment. 

    I didn't alter it, the path is as I posted above C:\Users\six_ten\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\Program Files (x86)\Mikero\DePboTools\bin     

     

    >... use a dos console on your PC to type the magic words 'rapify' and give me the result...

    When I type rapify into command prompt result is    'rapify' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

     

    >...I've asked you to do the same for 'makepbo' ...

    When I type makepbo into command prompt result is    'makepbo' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

     

    I replied to Rof in the post immediately following his and described what I did:  I downloaded the installer to desktop.  Ran it.  It creates a folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\  .  I ran it, it creates the download installer.  When I run that and check in Task Manager, it is running as Elevated.  I use it, it downloads and installs the tools to :\Program Files (x86)\Mikero\DePboTools\  .

    ? You mean you changed where you installed them to? or your downloaded them to your program files, then ran the installer?

     

    If you changed where you installed them to, then that's most likely the issue, since its looking in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mikero\DePboTools\bin

     

    If you ran the installer from program files, then that's a weird thing to do since Windows likes to ask for admin permission to use that folder. An using admin for mikero tools / arma is a big no no

     

    I downloaded the installer to desktop.  Ran it.  It creates a folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\  .  I ran it, it creates the download installer.  When I run that and check in Task Manager, it is running as Elevated.  I use it, it downloads and installs the tools to :\Program Files (x86)\Mikero\DePboTools\  .  When I run pboProject and check Task Manager, it is not running Elevated.  So the installer has admin privelege but the tools do not.

     

    Edit:  I uninstalled the updater, reinstalled, redownloaded and installed all packages.  Still doesn't find rapify.

     


  4. I have the same problem as others:  rapify cannot be found.  

     

    Trying pboProject on a bis sample building for DayZ.  I've built dozens of buildings (and a few maps) in A3 and used earlier versions of pboProject for it.  Getting an error I've never seen and don't have a clue how to fix, even after reading the pboProject and rapify readme's.  

     

    When I open pboProject, the box shows:
    locating rapify...registry found version 1.84
    locating makepbo...registry found version 2.07
    locating dewss...registry found version 1.74
    locating steam tools for dayz SA...Using 32 bit binarize
    done


    "rapify -PenW  "Samples\Test_Building\config.cpp" "T:\temp\Samples\Test_Building\config.bin"" 
     'rapify' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
     operable program or batch file.

     

    I didn't receive any warnings when installing.  

    I've checked task manager:  pboProject isn't running as Elevated so I don't think I'm running it as admin.

     

    regedit shows pboProject as

    default value:  not set
    exe:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mikero\DePboTools\bin\pboProject.exe
    path:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mikero\DePboTools
    version:  273

     

    All of the tools have the same path in their registry entries.  I installed all the downloads via the installer.  The only change I made was to run the installer from a folder at C:\Program Files (x86)\Mikero_Tools instead of the bytex default name. 

     

    System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables shows in User Variables:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mikero\DePboTools\bin


    In another post Mikero said that ignoring errors could cause this -- the only popup I got when installing depbo was "Is this a >>headless<< server install?"  I clicked no.  I also tried yes, but to no effect.  No other errors.

     

    I don't know what else to try.  Any ideas?

    what about adding 1778 style women, it would be awesome for story lines & for us women that play.

     

    I think that's a very good idea.  If you can post some links to good base models and animations here, I have good reference for clothing and will add this to my to-do list.

    A little private version of Sullen Skies for Tangier Island.....

     

     

    So now the question is how do we go from normal sunny skies to hurricane?  I'd like to have bright and sunny weather, then every once in a great while a devastating storm that drives ships onto reefs, wrecks thatched huts, and then goes back to nice weather for rebuilding.

    I have an idea for a firefighter mod. Basically you would start out with you and your friends and you get a station that you get to place. Once the station is placed you can get vehicles and the station start out small and can only fit two vehicles. The starting vehicles are going to be crappy, slow, pumps don't work that great and will randomly stop working, however, you can purchase repair parts (each fire fighter gets paid every 15 minutes or so and your rank will vary on what you get paid, set by the chief) to keep them running properly. You would also be able to upgrade them to make them work better. After you get your station down and get your vehicles you will have random callouts (medical, fire, car accidents etc.) and when these are completed successfully the chief will get money put into an account that will be used for upgrading the station (adding bays, room for more personnel) and buying new trucks. As more departments are built there would be opportunities for mutual aid calls to be put out from one department to another, and another possibility for mutual aid is large multi-build/multi-story fires, mass casualty incidents. The goal for the chiefs is to have a smooth running and mutual assistance fire department/EMS department, to respond to the random events. Though the issue I am running into is that I have no idea on how to mod arma3 or how to create models. Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.

    This is all possible.  You'll have to learn how to create the models and code it, but if you persevere you can have it in a year or two.

     

    Start simple:  get the mod tools and install them and set up your P: drive.  Then just get the Samples_F car working.  Once you can drive it in game, then model a firetruck and use the Samples_F car as a base to get your truck in game.  If you just do these things you'll have a lot of the skills needed to take on the next steps of getting your mod idea to be reality.

  8. I'll update the first post with some features on the latest update but since you mentioned the RP stuff I'll point out that if you drag the Loot module onto your map it'll spawn weapons and stuff at the buildings around the map.  Also under Respawn you can place 18th c tents for respawn points.
