• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hello people.

This is my fisrt post in the forum, so hello everybody and special thanks to arno for this fantastic tool.

I saw a list of scenery objects pictures with the guid code here: http://lc0277.gratisim.fr/sceneobjects/

I saw with ModelConverterX (another fantastic tool) that all these objects are in the bgls at world/scenery/

Anyone knows how to use one of these objects with the scenproc?? I tryed using the guid code but it don´t works.... anyone knows why?

Thanks in advance!
 
Hi,

Do you want to use them for autogen or for XML placed objects?

You can use those GUIDs in the CREATEXMLLIBOBJ step. But you can't directly use them in CREATEAGNLIBOBJ. Autogen library objects use the autogen classes as defined in the default.xml file.

I wanted to use them for autogen... but its ok if can be xml placed. The question is to use those GUIDs with scenproc...

Well i tried the CREATEXMLLIBOBJ and the scenproc console says: 9:11 CREATEXMLLIBOBJ Information Created 54124 XML objects.

but i can´t see them in fsx... only appears the autogen library objects.. as you can see in the photo.

If autogen library objects uses the autogen classes defined in the default.xml, can I modify the default.xml adding a new class with only one lib object and create a new GUID for use in scenproc using the CREATEAGNLIBOBJ step?

Hi,

If you place xml objects you need a step to write the bgl files at the end (similar to the write agn step). It's called something like WRITEBGL (I don't remember completely by mind).

About the autogen, yes you can extend the default.xml with your own classes. But of course that complicates the installation of your addon when you want to distribute it, since your installer will have to update that file.
 
Ah ok ok. Yes, i saw that the xml placed objects sould be exported to bgl.

I wanted to use it for autogen cos autogen objects dissapears when you are not looking it, and it saves fps.. so now the question is: can i do the same for the BGLs??? Can i make those bgls with the xml placed objects dissapears like autogen??

I also have more than 350 custom buildings converted to BGLs using the placement tool of ModelConverterX and it would really nice to make them also dissapear like the autogen objects... is it possible?


(sorry for bad english :P )
 
Anyway, i have a new problem when export to bgl. As you can see in the photo, the scenproc don´t find the bglcomp.exe, and the options seems to be correct.

What im doing wrong??? :)

Thanks for the help!

The SDK path should be the SDK folder which in the FSX SDK folder. So try to add \SDK at the end.

For performance using autogen is usually better than using XML. XML placed objects are also skipped when not in view (depending on the bounding box), but in general they can be seen from greater distance and give more performance overhead than autogen.
 
Ok Arno, Thanks again. Now it works fine!!

One more question..hehe, i saw in the wiki-manual of scenproc that you use this command to set the building textures:

SETAGNBUILDINGTEXTURE|autogen_NL

What is the "autogen_NL" ??? it is a file or a folder? What kind of file?

:)
 
That's the name of the custom autogen texture you want to use (without any extension).

The autogen textures are located in the "FSX/Texture" folder.
