CANNOT OPEN EXTERNAL VIEWER

[AgentJonathan]

Everytime I open OXYGEN, it says "Cannot open external viewer", and it ticks me badly.

I was wondering Ummm..... WHY??!!

you need to create a virtual disk:

Virtual disk?

Never has been necessary on my computer. Let me check how my BIS toolset is configured currently...

...okay. This works for me, and no virtual disks:

- Oxygen 2 Light is in: \mdl\o2light
- Oxygen Viewer 2 is in: \mdl\o2_viewer2
- Visitor 2 Light is in: \mdl\visitor2light

Oxygen 2 Light - File - Options:
External Viewer: \mdl\o2_viewer2\buldozer.exe -dx -window
DLL Folder: \mdl\o2light

For Visitor 2 Light also set up the preferences accordingly.

Viewer works for both Oxygen 2 Light and Visitor 2 Light.

K. Thanx guys!

Baddo's right on this one.At least in my
case.

I always used the subst: drive command,
as a result of Brsseb's tutorials.

But recently I tried it without the command,
and it works perfectly.It even cleared up
some problems with disappearing background
textures.

I just use C:\O2 for all relevant files.

If you're not having problems,obviously,leave it alone.
But if you are,try not substituting drives.
It's a little messy anyway.

It's because of the last version of Buldozzer... with the first one you were forced to use the virtual drive...

All that time i was using this SUBST Z: command, just to discover only today that it can work perfectly without it.

Thanks for this hint.

That is what I suspected. The guide is old and should be updated to reflect how things are today.

[AgentJonathan]

So, umm..... I'm good w/o it?

[Macser]

Apparently yes,

But if you've gotten it working since,
and have no more problems,then it's
probably better to leave it alone.
