• 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.

hey , everyone! when i was working on my A300 (last work to it was to the doors , in which i put a custom animation to the service doors because of the doors limitations to 4 and trying to remove an attachpoint visibility on the tires) and texture reformatting so that P3D can read it), sdk and exporting from 3ds max work fine but now I got this message in MCX that happens every time while importing, what could this be?:

Did you submit the error? I suspect some material attribute enumeration has an unexpected value.

could it be an issue with the number of materials or the naming of the textures, or duplicate texturing of the same object?
 
Which version of MCX are you using? I don't see an error report in my bug tracker.

I suspect your X file has a value of Always in some material setting that MCX did not expect. If I know which attribute it is, I can check where it happens and at least prevent a crash.

I am using MCX 1.60 now. Downloaded 1.70 and will report on there

it exported fine before this
 
Got the error report now, it's in the detail texture parameters. I'll check tonight when I'm behind my PC if always is part of that enumeration.

Thank You ! I figured it had something to do with that. Let me know how I can fix this, based on whatthe detail texture parameters is saying
 
What is the detail blend mode you set for the material?

if i recall, off my sdk, the last time i set the detail blend mode, was for the glass textures, could this be the culprit?:

here i set it to set default transparent:

Multiply sounds like an ok value, but it seems the X file contains a value of Always. Maybe you can check in the X file where that is used.
 
I have modified the X reader now so that it will not crash on invalid values. Instead the reader will continue and use the default value. This is the behaviour that other enumeration values already had, but for this specific one I forgot to implement it like that. It will be fixed in the next development release.
