I'm kinda stuck in one of Allie's tutorials and was wondering if there was a posting done already that discusses some problems that might have occurred with people trying to work out the instructions on how to properly set it up. any help plz. :dunno:
-
hmmm is there a problem here that no one can answer this simple question, is there something i missed :dry:
-
I guess I dont understand the question ...... whats the problem?
-
One of the tutorials on this web site made by Allie, im stuck in one of his procedures for getting visitor3 set up and running. I did a search to see if any questions may have been asked in another post if not i would greatly appreciated if someone could guide me then plz.
-
Well we would only be guessing where to start now wouldn't we.
We have no idea which bit of this tutorial you are stuck on, you really need to elaborate a little more.
We will help if we can, but we need to know what the exact problem is. :good:

I guess you are trying to associate PNG files with PNG2PAA.BAT and PNG is not already in your list.
If it doesnt appear in your list then select NEW, and add it.
Not sure why Allie is doing that ...... where is this Tutorial located ?
-
here the tutorial its at the bottom of the page, its called
VisitorRC3Tutorial Part 2 - Setting up Visitor 3 Allie Visitor 3 tutorial on setting up the application.

OK, I see.
Yes, as I said, if it doesnt appear in your list then select NEW, and add it.
Then continue on.

OK came across another problem, for some reason in my Data folder i cant convert 12 PNG files too PAA. Instructions are im to highlite 12 png files right click and the option to convert to paa does not appear there. Any ideas why these wont convert. :confused:
-
hmmmmm .... probably because his instructions for the PNG2PAA.BAT file location and execution seem to be mixed up, 2 different methods there.
If you have done the "ascociate PNG with PAL2PAC.EXE" bit, then I suggest when you Right-Click, it should work when you select OPEN at the top of the menu.
Alternative:
- Take a copy of the png2paa.bat
- Place the copy in directory;
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\SendTo
If you can't see that "SendTo" directory you need to un-hide files.
See here also; http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310270
Now when you Right-Click the 12 files, move to SENDTO and then select the PNG2PAA.BAT
Should do the same as Allie intended.
-
OK something didnt work, Im almost sure i did what u mentioned but just in case ill post image. The batch file is in the SENDTO folder and the small window is whats inside the batch file which is exactly what Allie posted which i hope is correct but some how i have a feeling thats not so. :scratch:

Go to the menu item "SendTo" which you can see half way down the menu in your picture (right side)
-
^&*%$ im blind, i was looking for it at the top of the list cause allies SEND TO was second from the top. :banghead:
-
OK ran into another problem, seems like this batch file of allies doesnt work. link below

sOOOOO i was curious to see if the other Pal2PacE in the SEND TO option would do the converting and so it did, only that i had to convert them one at a time. Do u think this way is safe to say this will produce the same results.

Yes, 1 by 1 manual will give you the same result.

Hey there! :D
I am stuck to, but at the "last part" where I need to import the satelite and the mask into the island, and I am stuck, because the program (Visitor 3 -"Send - Dont send" b!$%@&*t) crashes when the importing begins, and I was wondering that am I the only one who has this problem? And how can I solve it? :dunno:
Oh and by the way: I am not using the island he uses, but rewrote everything so the configs should be allright. :P
-
Not enough detail to work out whats wrong.
What sizes are your textures, whats your rvmat changes, what format is your png etc etc for a suggested start.
-
The stuff are the same as Allie's tutorial requested, with all the changes, I took it step-by-step, take a look at it, and you will see ;)

Well obviously its NOT alright.
With details we can help.
