• 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.

I am attempting to add a new texture sheet but have fallen at the first hurdle.

I have a bmp in Textures_dpy\ and a DXT1 in Textures\.

When I open the ADE-GP Texture Editor, I can't see my texture in the listbox:



Edit. I don't understand the order in the listbox.

Edit 2. I was able to add an entry to Texture_Def.txt :)

Hi,

I'm hoping this can be made to work. I will be adding more polygon textures soon, and want to try adding a line at some point...

Don has added a Texture Editor function in the library - try Tools > GP Texture Editor ;)

Not surprised. I neglected to include the line of code whereby new textures were added to the list. Fixed in 0.0.34.

I don't understand the order in the listbox.
For consistency, the order in the list box is the same as the order in the combo boxes on the editor - which you can control. New textures will be at the bottom until you direct they be placed elsewhere.

Well, the Texture editor appeared to work, but on exit I got an error and the call home also gave an error :eek:



BTW. It didn't update Texture_Def.txt

Log file attached.

Can't do much about the "call-home" issue. But, it would have been nice to know what the first exception message (partially hidden) said and what you did that triggered it.

It is repeatable. I clicked on "Update Definition File"





"Copy of gp_MyTexture.bmp" is in Textures_dpy and in Textures.

Log file attached to previous post.

This issue only arises if you tell the editor to insert the new texture in the last slot and then repeat that operation. Thee problem is now fixed, but since there is a workaround (save the new texture to a lower numbered slot) I won't re-release until I'vs addressed a couple other issues.
