• 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.

*_0.asm + *.asm ??

Hi,

when i force gmax to save the asm file i get one which ends _0.asm and one just asm. When i like to compile an asm-file i need to use bglc_9 (if i understood it right). But why do i have two asm files. Which one needs to be compiled ? Or do i have to compile both ?
I ask this because i tried to compile arno´s safegate which he posted in BGLC tutorials under how to create a VGDS to see how it looks and works in FS. But in SceneGenX i always get an error message:

ERROR C2014: Failed to load model data in file: F:\TOOLS\SCENEGENX\safegate_tweaked_0.mdl

ERROR C2149: Failed to load model data!
ERROR C2340: Failed to finalize MODEL_DATA!
ERROR C2032: XML Parse Error! Element tree follows:

ERROR: <FSData
ERROR: version = 9.0
ERROR: >
ERROR: <ModelData
ERROR: name = 8997057549ACD08DC684E24D81EC7CA6
ERROR: sourceFile = safegate_tweaked_0.mdl
ERROR: fileOffset = 0
ERROR: >
ERROR:
ERROR C2024: Failed to process closing element tag <ModelData> near line 30!

So, is there really an error in the mdl-file or did i make any mistake in compiling the tweaked asm-file.
 
Hi,

That error in general mean something is wrong with your MDL file. So I guess you compiled the wrong file or so.

You only need to compile the main ASM file, the _0.asm file is included in that one.
 
I compiled the _0.asm file with bglc_9 and i get the above posted error message. Is there a difference if i compile it by dragging the asm-file onto bglc_9 or if i compile via the input window and the -mdl option ?
 
Hi,

No it does not matter how you compile the file, as long as you get a MDL file.

But you need to compile the myfile.asm file, NOT the myfile_0.asm file, as I wrote above.
 
Now it works. Looks great and i start now to experoment with it. But what did you do that you need no _lm.bmp files ???
And is iz possible that i use this safegate for my EDDM (Munich) scenery ?? If yes it would be nice if you send me the safegate_background.bmp because that one´s missing ;-))

I just used the same textures as day and night textures. This means that the whole day texture is lighted up at night and that is exactly what I wanted for my docking system.

Making a copy of the day texture, as a night texture, would have been a waste of diskspace. You can use any name for the night texture, the _LM is not a requirement.

Yes, I will release them soon. Now that I have finished the ActiGate module I can finally release them. So if you wait a few days (probably around this weekend) you will also get a little tool with it to set the rotation and stop distance easily.
