hmm, sounds like there's something wrong with the config. But mayby you could send the whole island to me, and I will see what I can do.

Did the WrpTool config.cpp and such tutorials help?

[vilas]

i don't thinx it is a matter of config, bacause if i give intro.wrp it works, if i save this intro.wrp (changing nothing) and make pbo once again , than it crashes game !!!!!
i made many addons, so i don't think it is a  something wrong in config...
for example...
vilasislandintro.wrp (original from BIS) and land works good...
i am opening this intro in wrpedit than i am saving it...
and.. game crash...

[Snake_Man]

I take it you made a mistake with the wrpedit word there (since this is WrpTool forum). What I mean is, there is extensive tutorials in the WrpTool manual which would definitely help you on the WrpTool->OFP process. There is also example config files ready for you to use.

Read the tutorial(s) through and ask if you ave some questions. I'm happy to help you out on any specifics.

i downloaded WRP tool v0.906

Have you also downloaded the .950 update?

[vilas]

Yeah, i have update ver 0.95 but nothing
saved by me island crashes... even if i open someone's island, save it again, then it crashes game...
i read tutorial, i made many addons and i know how to do addons and stuff like that, but simply, everything that i save in wrptool 0.95 or visitor crashes game...
i open intro.wrp, i save it again in wrptool (import wrp, than export wrp) and starting game... crash...
i wanted to put one single tree to desert island, and it crashes game...
what tha hella ?

Before we try anything further, have you made one map ever in wrptool and loaded it ingame successfully? If not, your problem may be that your path information in WRPtool is setup all wrong.

From the "change settings" option in WRPtool, what do you have entered for your paths?

Second, when you go to that location on your computer, do you have folders like data3d and o and data, or are those folders inside more folders?

---------------------------------

Okay, just for fun, lets try this:

1) make a copy of the working BIS intro.wrp found in the worlds folder, rename the backup to something like intro.bis or something.

2) open intro.wrp (not the backup intro.bis) file in WRPtool and place any one object from the CWC data3d folder.

3) Save your file as intro.wrp.

4) See if OFP crashes and also if your object is displayed. Also check to see if there is anything else weird like messed up textures.

5) when you are done, delete the intro.wrp file and rename intro.bis to intro.wrp, and make sure OFP is still ok.

Thanks.

i open intro.wrp, i save it again in wrptool (import wrp, than export wrp)

No dont use import/export, just use the normal SAVE.

If you start WrpTool, load up cain, eden, abel or intro .wrp files from the <ofpdir>/Worlds directory and SAVE (using the File -> Save WRP ...) it will work.

The island names are:
Cain.wrp (Kolgujev)
Abel.wrp (Malden)
Eden.wrp (Everon)
Intro.wrp (Desert island)

Of course make BACKUPS from your original <ofpdir>/Worlds directory contents before loading & saving them

Thats just for test, the ground work so to speak. When you want to do your own island, you need to make config.cpp (examples included in WrpTool package) and pbo it to the addons (or mod) dir. The official BIS islands way is just to confirm everything works ok.

I really really do not want to sound like "read the fucking manual" guy, but I must encourage you to just carefully reading the WrpTool PDF manual, its a very good information source on WrpTool and basic WRP stuff overall. And with this topics help here, we'll get your island running just okay, dont worry about it.

Did you observe, that the program aborts just before or immediately after when there was made any zoom action into the map or does it crash at once if one even has not made any action. In the first case, a missing or wrong texture path is rather likely.

@vilas

Try to proceed as follows:

On behalf of the Elevation Tool, set the very outer rows and columns in a rim around the island (about up to 5 cells) with the absolute Change butoon below sealevel (about -10m). Also if it looks, they are still below sealevel or zero.

Would be interested if it works.
