keep having issue with terrain builder
Hello,
I am following the PMC Arma 3 ultimate terrain tutorial to th letter but i keep having an issue when defining a new map frame.
After setting all parameters, it keeps coming back with the same error:
AS it pops up, there should be something wrong i did but can't find the root cause...
layers.cfg:
class Layers
{
class tut_grass_green
{
texture = "";
material = "tut\tut_tutorial_terrain\data\tut_grass_green.rvmat";
};
};
class Legend
{
picture = "maplegend.png";
class Colors
{
tut_grass_green[] = {{ 230, 230, 120 }};
};
};
Could anybody give some hint ?

Re: keep having issue with terrain builder
Hi,
I had some trivial issues with double underscore and a " as part of path file name.
However, still I am doging something wrong.
It starts with using the ARMA3p.cmd process..

In the picture you can see something goes wrong at end and no sub folder for buldozer is created ... and thus no launch in terrain builder. as there is no p:\buldozer folder with related files.
I did use the Mikero Tools All-In-One Installer and made sure all are there
Is this error from batch process a real error or is it in fact ok and i forgot something else...

Re: keep having issue with terrain builder
i noticed an issue in the latest DeRap.1.86.8.75.Installer...
the batch process file (.cmd) is using the derapdos command, but this file is not present in the installer.
according the history txtfile op derap there has been a name change as from version 1.71 :
1.71
renamed DeRapify to DeRapDos and made a dual dos/windows app...
but the exe file name is derap.exe only.....

Re: keep having issue with terrain builder
There has been issue when sometimes Mikeros installers fail to actually install some of the tools, had this happen to myself once with makePbo, ran the installer again and then it worked OK.
Maybe you could re-run the derap installer to make sure the latest one has been installed, if its still not working (has old derap.exe file name) then perhaps Mikero forgot to update arma3p.cmd batch file for derapdos.exe, not sure but worth the try.
If latest derap is installed but its a wrong file name, then just copy deRap.exe to deRapDos.exe and try if that fixes it. Mikeros tools dir is:

Re: keep having issue with terrain builder
Thanks, yes, i solved that with the name in batch file...
Now, a final issue i suffer with.
During the PboProject command execution. it did go well ONCE.
But I keep getting a strage error during binarise execution in the bin log:
Copy of file p:\xps_tg\data\xps_artic_pebbles_nopx.paa -> P:\temp\p:\xps_tg\data\xps_artic_pebbles_nopx.paa fail with: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
I underlined the p:\ part of the copy to path ... it is wrong.
As you can see, for some strange reason, the program is making an error in the path when copying the paa files to the temp directory on my P drive:it adds a "p:\" between P:\temp\ and the rest...
I checked all settings etc but i can't understand why binarise.exe is doing this...
Any idea ?
