This tutorial assumes that you have read [[arma3:tools:installing-steam-arma-3-tools|installing steam arma 3 tools]] page and the tools are installed. You could setup P: drive or workspace as bis calls it, without the tools put there is not much point doing that. | This tutorial assumes that you have read [[arma3:tools:installing-steam-arma-3-tools|installing steam arma 3 tools]] page and the tools are installed.

+ | You need to create batch file to subst P: drive. You can place this bat file any normal directory you want, do NOT drag it into windows desktop, its not a proper place. What is a proper location then, well for example c:\arma3work\ directory is good, but choose any drive/dir you want. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Make sure the filename extension is "mapdisk.bat" instead of "mapdisk.bat.txt" which could happen if you have windows explorer "hide known file extensions" turned on, you need to turn it off. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use this for "mapdisk.bat": | ||
+ | <code dos> | ||
+ | subst p: /d | ||
+ | subst p: "c:\arma3work" | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | Replace "c:\arma3work" directory to where you want to keep your work drive. **Do not use ArmA 3 Tools directory**. You obviously have to create this directory. Next just double click mapdisk.bat to activate the new P: drive. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You might want to setup mapdisk.bat into your windows startup programs so you don't have to click it every time you restart your computer and want to edit ArmA 3. | ||

- | Next you need to replace the mapdisk.bat file which can be found on the root directory of the ArmA 3 tools, with your own. This is because the original mapdisk.bat supplied by the tools is not working properly. | + | After you have activated the new P: drive (by running mapdisk.bat), run Mikero's tools ArmA3P.cmd (a batch file, just different file extension) and wait... ArmA3P.cmd should run all the way - with no errors, and report success. This will take really long time, be patient and wait. |
