o2, bulldozer, what on earth?!

[nullsystems]

Hi all,
Well ive just been through a few really old OFP tutorials that are linked from here, but I am still lost as to how to open a p3d file, make some changes and save it again.

Thats all I really wanna do, could anyone give a QUICK step by step guide?

Ive tried using bullzoder but it tells me " bad serial " even tho my ArmA disc works perfectly. Very annoying system.

Plus when I try and load some textures with ODOL Explorer it gives me vertex errors and what not.

ODOL Explorer doesn't work with ArmA ODOL (Binarized) models. It is only compatible with OFP models.

Right now the only source for ArmA MLODs (editable) models is Synide's thread (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=76;t=64271) (click his FTP link assuming its working now).

As for the "bad serial" issue with Buldozer, are you sure you have the latest version of O2, and not the OFP version which needed OFP installed on your system to work...

I think I have the OFP version, I cant find the ArmA version?

All im looking to do is re-skin some vehicles, not actually model anything... just like the new skins you see on armaholic http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/sad_o.gif

Well I downloaded Oxygen 2. But it has an error when loaded p3d files.

So I presume I have to convert it from ODOL or something?

I tried using ODOL EXPLORER, but it says : Error Reading Vertex Info.

And then gives and access violation in the actual program.

You missed it the first time, so here it is again.
