Hi Guys...

I've recently developed a problem with BinPBO - I may just be missing something incredibly obvious, but I can't figure it out at all...

I started out with SgtAce's excellent tutorial and samplemap - followed the instructions all the way - everything worked fine - no problems...
BIS Tools on a D:\ drive - P:\ drive as it should be - everything fine...
Went thru all the steps with the TUT_SampleMap - works in visitor - binarises fine - works in game... this is easy!... I thought...;)

So I spend a week making about 3 different terrains of my own from scratch... they all display fine in visitor too - binarize fine and play in game fine... (just fooling with different Sat_lco files mainly)

Then - last night, I change a Satmap - hit "binarize" again... I get an error!
something about it "can't copy the final PBO to the target location"
I redo everything - try again - same error...
I go to a different map, one that binarized fine a day ago - reset BinPBO appropriately - same error!
I go all the way back to the tutorial - do it completely from scratch - same error!
I completely uninstall all trace of BIS Tools and reinstall - rebuild my CA folder - redo the tutorial all over again - same error again!

Here's what it looks like...

As far as I can tell everything is set up correctly...

It doesn't seem to matter where I set the destination to write the final PBO to - it can be anywhere - in locations that definitely aren't write protected or anything... even a networked writable drive on a different computer as destination throws the same error...
It writes the log file fine - and theres no errors reported in it...
Everythings working in bulldozer, all cfg,s are fine, layers are being created in the proper places... the exact same setup worked fine previously???

* If I untick "binarize" in BinPBO - I still get the same error - only quicker - so it's obviously not anything to do with the binarize process itself - it's just like some sort of BinPBO writing problem...

Now I KNOW it's gonna be something unbelievably dumb I've done, or not done, or not noticed, or changed... but after two days of puzzling over it I'm totally out of possibilities...
Anyone got any ideas??

Hi Kju,

Thanks for the reply...

Plenty of space on all the drives I've tried...
I've got a second comp I use for a dedi server - just tried a tools and tutorial run thru on that and it seemed to work fine - as did my other Test islands... so I've obviously changed something microscopic somewhere... :)
I'll try again from scratch on my primary comp..

OK

I've figured this out...

I DID change something microscopic...

In BinPBO Addon source directory I had...

P:\TUT\TUT_SampleMap\

It needs to be...

P:\TUT\TUT_SampleMap

Without the "\" at the end... if you use one, it errors every time... I had them at the end of my addon source path, and my path to project folder... God knows why... maybe I hand typed them instead of using the navigate to directory tool...

Maaaaan - these tools are picky!!! :D

Nightmare over - mark this one down as Bushlurker bein dumbass - again... Thanks anyway Kju mate!
