• 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.

FSX Guids

I used Library Creator XML to create a library with two objects. They were MDLs from FS9 Scenery. I notice that the name property in the XML created by Library Creator is the GUID. Can this be changed to something readable so when I use it in Whisplacer or elsewhere it would be nice to have a readable name.

Thanks.
 
Hi,

No, the name has to be the GUID that is how the BGLComp XML format is designed to work. In FSX MDL files you can store a friendly name inside the MDL file, which WhisPlacer then uses if I am correct. For FS2004 MDL files that is not possible.

I'm working with FSX mainly. So I have to put the friendly name inside the MDL file - got it. Thanks.
 
Hi,
I'll be short. I have 2.0.2 version of Library creator XML.

I add MDL objects (created with gmax) , create library, everything fine.
But when I create object list for SBuilder GUIDs are in fs9 format and are diferent then displayed in window.
In window are in fsX format. In right down corner is FsX.

When I replace GUIDs in txt file by hand it works.

The same problem is in whisplacer when I export model.


example:
GUID is :
{CA80D2AF-99CF-4862-80E0-9F3E60A47F70}
exported:
CA80D2AF486299CF3E9FE080707FA460

What I did wrong ? Are there workaround ?

Thanks , Borna ;-)
 
Hi,

For SBuilder this is as designed. As SBuilder is a FS2004 tool it only understands GUIDs in the FS2004 format.

I don't know if SBuilderX is supposed to work with the FSX GUID format, in that case I probably have to add another export option.
