ASM preventing autogen from ground polygon PROBLEM

[mskhan1991]

So I made a custom landclass, using sbuilder9

Then applied ground polygons and this resulted in autogen disappearing due to big size of the polygons.

I tried the "SCALE_AGL OBJECT_0_RETURN, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0" tweak

Had the issued resolved for autogen but now I am getting textures bleed through from the custom ground polygons and greater in areas where the land rises from the default landclass. I've tried flattening/afcad but to no use.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Is this for fsx or fs2004?

 

[mskhan1991]

this is for FS2004. This is really making me mad. Secondly the polygons are in editable mesh form in Gmax and not poly, does that affect the polygons?

sorry for the late reply i was admitted in hospital.

here is the code:

;compile with BGLC /BGL J:\Scenery Making\BGL 9\Doha_1.asm

dd (offset OBJECT_DATA) - (offset header)

and here is the result

No, the mode in gmax does not matter. A polygon in the bgl is a polygon.

It is a long time ago that I made scenery for fs2004, I would have to look up again what the restrictions of the autogen tweak were. At first sight you applied it correctly. I'll check later, I am not behind my flightsim pc at the moment.

 

[mskhan1991]

Arno, any luck with the solution?

Hi,

I forgot to be honest.

How big is your bgl file? I have seen before that some tweaks only work on files that are not too big.

 

[mskhan1991]

after compiling the biggest file that comes out to be is 151 KB! :O

Hi,

Your code seems fine. I would try it first with less polygons, maybe only export part of the airport and see if that works.

 

[mskhan1991]

i tried flattening the surface around the airport but to no use. I used only one layer but it seems that little hills are coming in between the runway area but when I press ctrl+s i can see the whole area has the problem. here a screen shot;

 

[mskhan1991]

it doesnt happen with the default landclass, it happens only when i use sbuilder created landclass, excludes, flattens etc

 

[arno]

Hi,

I am a bit confused, are we discussing a flatten problem here or a problem with autogen not showing? A flatten has no influence on autogen showing.

 

[mskhan1991]

the problem i dont think rests with the asm tweaking, it has something to do with the sbuilder flatten. the shimmering is gone but the remaining part is of flatten and if you could help me on that, it would be grateful. btw, the solution to shimmering was not to use layer numbers 8,16,20 and 24......!
