Hi all,

I am having major issues setting up ALiVE indexing. Here are the following steps I have taken.

1. ) I've ensured that BattlEye is disabled.
2.) I turned off my AV and scanners.
3.) I placed the @ALiVE, Scripts, @Anizay folder in the steamapps\common\Arma 3 folder.
4.) Ensured that ALiVEClient.dll and alive_object_blacklist.txt are in the @ALiVE folder.
5.) Installed deOgg and DePbo, which created a Mikero\DePboTools\bin directory. I then placed DeWrp.exe in this bin directory.
6.) I also set the path in advanced settings for the \Mikero\DePboTools\bin directory.
7.) I made sure all .exe and .dll files are 'unblocked' in Windows.

As for testing a map, I simply placed one vanilla Arma rifleman on the map as well as the Alive Index Module.

My .rpt file spat this out.

As you can see, I have tried this process many times to no avail. No, even my DeWrp.exe isn't working. I get an error that says "THe procedure entry point ??0FileStringW@@QEAA@PEA_W@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library C:Program Files (86x)\Mikero\DePboTools
bin\DeWrp.exe."

Can someone please help me out? I am doing everything right but I am not able to index any map.

I believe so. Is there a way to upload pictures? Perhaps I can post a screenshot of the path I set it to and you can see if I did it correctly.

I'll be sure to do it when I get home, but I am 99 percent sure I did exactly this. It was when I moved the Dewrp.exe to Mikero/DepboTools/bin when it gave me the entry point error. Could it be the version of Dewrp I am using? It is version 1.71.

I have an additional question. Does it truly matter if the addons are loaded via Steam launch option parameters or if I load them in the Arma 3 launcher? I couldn't get Arma to start through steam so I just selected CBA, Alive and Anizay in the Arma 3 launcher.

I should make a correction. The game does run via Steam, in that when I click "Play" it takes me to the Arma 3 Launcher. However, I meant that when I try to start the game with the Launch Options set to -mod=@ALiVE; @CBA_A3; @Anizay; @CUP Terrains - Core -filePatching, I get an error with CBA. It says, "Include file x\cba\addons\main\script_macros.hpp not found." So the only way I can launch the game is through the launcher and then by clicking on the checkboxes next to each individual addon I need.

And I placed my @ALiVE folder in the \Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\ path. filePatching is also enabled.

On a good note, I got rid of my DeWrp error by deleting it and re-extracting. I will test it in Arma and let you know what happens.

Here is the picture of the path I placed the dlls and DeWrp in.

I just made a new folder called Tools and placed them in there.

First let me say this to help out anyone else who may come across the thread. Order matters. I set the launch options to -mod=@CBA_A3;@ALiVE;@CUPCore;@Anizay -filePatching and got the mods to load up properly.

As for indexing, I still am getting errors. Here are two pictures. https://imgur.com/a/BD7Oghv

I read that a cmd.exe window is supposed to launch, which indicates that DeWrp is working. That is not my case. Could it be a permissions issue where cmd.exe is not wanting to launch rather than DeWrp itself?

I feel stupid. I checked the .rpt file and it told me this.

I am assuming it has something to do with the Map Pbo File Path. This is what I set it to.

@Anizay\Addons\Anizay.pbo

I was able to get it to work by changing the Map PBO file name to "tem_anizay." That was the proper name, not "anizay" on its own.

I was able to index it and play, albeit with some problems, but I will make a separate post about it later today. Thanks a lot for your help.

hello All, Does anyone have a Index map for NAM

@Chinook hello All, Does anyone have a Index map for NAM

it is already indexed and included in the alive download. you just need to set up your alive modules on it and go.
