proj.dll is required by Terrain Builder but is not included in Arma 3 Tools.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

During imports of shapefiles and raster images files with coordinate systems, GDAL's OGRCreateCoordinateTransformation is called and fails. It fails due to a failure to dynamically load (via ::LoadLibrary) proj.dll.

Terrain Builder either needs to ship with proj.dll (or gdal needs to be compiled with the option to statically link it in).

These two issues are a result of the missing file:

FIXED

the next version of TB will be released with proj.dll(in a cases of errors we can also provide an older version proj_fw.dll). We didn't want to release TB with all extended dlls because of a two reasons: the first is about licensing stuff because many libraries cannot be simply released with the main package, and the second is about a get feedback from users which features of TB they really need and which can be silently removed ;-) TB is mainly gamemap editor so we're trying to separate it from many GIS features

We use all the features :p

If anything the ones we don't use are broken and are on FT:)

can anyone give me a feedback If it works now?

seems to be fixed now ;-)
