FS2004 4.3.0.5 Not compiling

[Nater]

Just tried to compile the KRSW project, and AFLT will start to compile, but quickly hits a runtime error. Tried to download directly from the website, and used a new folder, and the same issue appears.

Can't help you Nater without your Project Folder, the airport .bgl or .xml and the details of the runtime error.

it says the index is out of range...it cannot a negative or be greater than the list....

I don't see the airport .bgl or .xml that you loaded into AFLT. Without it I can't replicate the issue.

Hi,

FS2004 - inverse mip-map

So I just upgraded to the latest version, and now all of the sudden when I recompile my project, the inverse mips aren't working like they should....It seems as the effects are too big an not showing as if I position myself in the middle of the runway and look towards either end, I can see the...

When you press the Create/Save Library button, the message that comes up for me is Object Libraries will be Saved to "". This tells me that AFLT is not parsing your path to the scenery folder correctly. This has happened to me on occasion. You have that path listed as C:\fs9\Addon Scenery\KRSW\Scenery. This can be fixed by changing this path to:

KRSW

That's it, nothing else. This however is not the reason for your crash.

After I fix the problem above I get the following problem during compile:

************** Exception Text **************

I tried deleting the strings of approach, runway, and taxiway edge lights but that didn't fix it.

I do not see an airport .bgl or .xml in the uploaded data

 

[tgibson]

The airport BGL file is in the file KRSW_ADE9_nr.zip, in that thread.

I found the apparent reason for the crash. In your Placements.xml file there are numerous instances of sections like this:

<Strip surfaceRef="" type="Single Light" >
<Parameters flags="00000311" config="" modelNames="Edge|" params="|||||||||" >
<Placements>
</Placements>
</Parameters>
</Strip>

Notice that there is nothing between the <Placements> and </Placements> lines (i.e. there are no lights specified). Removing all of these sections allowed the project to compile.

Hope this helps,

Version 4.3.06 just posted to http://stuff4fs.com. Thanks for diagnosing, Tom. Saved me some time. The new release strips out those empty placements. Don't know where they came from. Must be from an earlier release. That's not something we could have anticipated.

Re the difficulty you had with the scenery path Tom. I suspect the issue was that that scenery path did not exist on your system. I found no issue if it was a valid path.

 

[tgibson]

Glad to help. Yes, that might have been the path problem. But perhaps AFLT should pop up an error message instead?

Hi,

When starting the new version I get an error: Invalid line "Pause After Slew=False" found in file "AFLT.ini". Then this error:

I redownloaded and reinstalled it and now it's working OK.

 

[tgibson]

I can confirm that the KRSW project now compiles OK.

Thanks,

Thanks for the help Tom an Don! I would have never come to that conclusion.
