• 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.

Hi!
I want to ask the developers where I can download the converter from "*.asm" to "*.xml" code? Or how i can convert it? :confused:
Thanks.
 
Hello, Bob!

Now, I'm working with FS2002 gamepack for Gmax and I export my models to Flight Simulator 2004 (FS9).
I've created a model of a lamppost with applying a LIGHT_NAV material to it's lamp. I've compile it with the MakeMDL 2002 and I want just to convert my "*.asm" file to "*.xml" for use it in a "Library Creator XML", to get a ready API macro. After that I want to use it in FSSC.
And as I know, FS2004 gamepack has a lot of problems with
exporting objects with lights, created in Gmax. Thats why I use the FS2002 gamepack.:o

Please, help me with this problem!
Thank You!;)
 
Hi Liona

I think there is no way to convert asm files into xml files.
When you export your project, you have to fill correctly the position of your polygon.
You can't add your ground poly in a library.

Hi,

It is indeed not possible to convert from ASM to XML file, simply because they don't store the same kind of information.

I see two solutions for your problem though:
  1. Use the Fs2004 gamepack which creates a MDL file that can be put into a library quite easy. It is try there are some small bugs for lights in there, but for example with my MDL Tweaker tool you can get around them without much trouble.
  2. If you want to use the Fs2002 gamepack you can make a Fs2002 style object library (which is not the same as a Fs2004 style XML library) with FsRegen. The only problem with this approach is that the FsRegen tool is quite hard to get nowadays as the site of the original author is down. So I would go for option one if possible :).
 
Thanks a lot!!!:):):)
I also want to ask: how I can get a ready API macro from my "*.asm" code without FSregen?:o May I use some other method?
Thank you!
 
Hi,

You can not make an API macro directly from the ASM code. The easiest way is to put the ASM code in an object library first and then call that object with a simple API macro.

This Wiki article describes how you can make a FS2002 library without using FsRegen.
