Visitor problem (Custom Objects)

[iD_999]

Hi everyone:

Can someone please help me.

I'm currently use the visitor to create a new island and i'm trying to insert my own model (coconut.p3d) into the game.

I had read it from other forum which say that i could set the path to

c:\o2_viewer\

instead of

c:\o2_viewer\data3D

so that i can access other .p3d file from other folder instead of data3D.
But when i try to see it in the buldozer , it display "Cannot open object o2_viewer\TutTree\coconut.p3d".

Do someone know why?

I really need a reply as soon as possible.

thanks...

To use multi PBO's you have to create a 'virtual' drive with a 'bat'file. Then put buldozer and all your other files in there. Then in visitors 'system preferences' you put in X:/  (where X is the drive) and nothing else...

To make a vityual drive open 'notepad', type SUBST X: C:\buldozer
check 'all files' then save it. You have to 'double click' on it to activate the  X: drive when you first start you PC...

Check out this thread :  http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?s=c62295a4862fe32735a1773dda12308f;act=ST;f=39;t=31349

Create a folder called c:\yourPath\yourFolderName

 and put the following in it....

1. All buldozer files and dlls

2. The following folders :

Bin
Data
Data3d
Fonts
LandTex   (I dont know it this was a folder I made mucking about)
O
Users
Worlds

3. Your island folder

4. Your custom addon folder (ie unPbo'ed folder)  

...........

Now you need to set up the Z: drive you need make a batch file somewhere.

This is just a txt file with the following code in it altered to suit your filepath. Enter the code and save as 'preVisitor.bat'.

subst z: "c:\yourpath\yourFolderName"


note: you need the ""

.............

Now you need to set Visitor up

In the options:

Basic: c:\path to visitor folder (eg c:\visitor)
Textures: z:\yourIslandFolder or your texture folder
Nature: z:\
Artificial: z:\
Roads: z:\
World Files: z:\yourIslandFolder

note: you can only get textures from one .pbo AFAIK

...................

And that should do you nicely

When you look for objects you will see all the available ones in all subfolders in the z:\ folder

like

data\1st.p3d
..
data\z.p3d
yourAddonFolder\1st.pbo


Good luck
