• 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.

Batch convert night textures

Hi Arno

Thanks for the new converterX.
I tried it and added the model name prefix to the texture name.
It is working fine.
However, I added "Add night textures" but there are not night
textures in the texture folder and the model is dark at night.
I have a night texture with the suffix _lm in the same folder with
the defuse texture.
If I do the conversion manually I have the other problem, that in
the defuse texture line is included the folder name with the texture name,
and when I try to add the night texture it comes only with the texture name.

I noticed the same thing in your last development version, but it is not this way
in your old version 1.20 which I am using converting manually.

Thanks
Angelo
 
Hi Angelo,

Adding night textures in batch convert mode is a new function, so you need version 1.3 for that. Version 1.2 is too old. I just released a new version last week.

The batch convert tool does not make the night textures, it only assigns them to the model. So you have to make sure that they are in the folder.

Are you also using the convert texture option? That would add the prefix normally. In that case it would probably be better to first add the night texture and then convert the textures. So you would need to add the steps in that order to the batch convert.
 
Hi Arno

I am using the converterX 1.30.
I have tried every trick I could, but it doesn't procces the night texture (_LM) that I have in the folder.
It does procces the difuse texture which is in the same folder with the night texture.

I tried to do the conversion manually but I have another problem, that in
the defuse texture line is included the folder name with the texture name,
and when I add the nightmap texture from the same folder it comes only with the texture name so it doesn't procces the texture neither.
Maybe there is the problem.

I noticed the same thing happenes in your last development version,
But it is not this way in your old version 1.20 which I was using converting manually with no problem.

Thanks
Angelo
 
Hi,

I guess you are using sketchup. The way textures are read has indeed changed.

When exporting the folder name is removed anyway. So just adding your night texture might work.
