• 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.

Problems with 'TexPoly' command

Arno,
Just for you to know.
When the SCASM command 'TexPoly' is used with parameter 'ai' (which means automatic reversed vector generation), ModelConverterX comes up with an error message: 'Input string was not in a correct format'

Regards,
Heinrich

Hi Heinrich,

Do you have a simple example API for me to debug? All macros I tested until now had the vector specified manually, so I think that is the reason this piece of code is not yet working completely.

No problem. There are two ways for a workaround.
1. Simply compile and re-compile the SCA file. All polygon vectors will be calculated now.
2. Parameter 'a' for automatic vector calculation works fine. Only the command-extension 'i' for 'inverting' the vector doesn't work. So I simply revert the drawing order of the polygon points. Works too.

Example of the 'ai' parameter:

TexPoly( ai
140 141 253
144 166 0
146 177 0
143 203 253
)


Regards,
Heinrich

Thanks Heinrich, if it is only the "i" that is not working at the moment, then it should be easy to solve for me. I thought the "a" might also not yet be working. I'll fix this in the next release.

Hi Heinrich,

I improved the code to load the polygon data a lot in the latest version, so these problems should be solved now. I just uploaded this new version.
