Ok, I guess it was pure luck that the airport project compiled without error... because it isn't now... no matter what I do, it won't compile. Keeps telling me the same error.
I figured that somehow through all the converting and renaming, etc... I must have done something to cause the 2 buildings to not appear in FSX. So I did the only rational thing I know how to do... I deleted all the mdl, bgl, bmp files that had anything to do with the Flight School or Spencer Aircraft hangar. I went back to the original ZIP that Tankerguy72 sent me and did the following:
1.) Placed all 4 files ( 2 mdl , 2 bmp) in one folder. I left the filenames alone this time.
2.) Started up MCX 1.4 and Imported the 2 mdl files.
3.) Converted them to FSX MDL (as suggested by Tom).
4.) Imported the now newly created FSX MDL versions of the originals.
5.) Clicked Export Scenery, FSX BGL - all seemed to be successful.
6. Opened the folder where all the files were stored, to confirm there was 2 bgl files along with the original and converted mdl's and the 2 bmp files. All files were accounted for.
7.) I then copied the 2 BGL and 2 BMP files to the core objects folder that I use (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Addon Scenery\Scenery\ALL Scenery Objects), Making certain that the BGL and BMP files were placed into their respective sub-folders of Scenery and Texture.
8.) I started ADE 1.78 up and added the 2 new BGL files to the Library Object Manager, then I loaded my KPLU project and placed the 2 object buildings in their places.
9.) I saved my project first, no issues.
10.) Then I attempted to compile the airport - FAILURE!
Again I get this:
So I have reached out to Tankerguy72, to see if this is something that he (as the model creator) has to look into.
All I can figure is it isn't finding the mdl files. As for the path statement in the error, it's incorrect, I didn't place the files in that location, nor did I select them for addition to ADE's LOM, from that location. So none of this is making any sense to me.
The proper location that the files are stored for ADE's use for this particular project is:
F:\Flight Sim Stuff\FSX Installed Downloads\Scenery\Airport Scenery Objects for ADE\Object Library\KPLU buildings\Converted\
Hopefully I can resolve this, because I am now at a point of complete and utter frustration. Oh! and to help understand this frustration, I removed (deleted) the two buildings from the airport scenery project, re-saved, and tried to compile. You'd think, hey! since I've removed the objects causing the error, this should just compile with no problem. Wrong! I got the same exact error as you see above. Why? better yet, Why Me!!??
