• 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.

spb2xml has stopped working

I'm getting an error with SPB2XML that I can't seem to get to the bottom of, I had to do a reinstall of Windows Server 2012R2 and while I had no problems a few days ago not I can't get ScenProc to run without warnings.

Code:
  Stopped working

I hit close on the 3 to 6 warnings that come up saying "

After ScenProc launches it says:

Code:
7:26 AM    scenProcGUI    Warning        Failed to read AutogenDescriptions
7:26 AM    scenProcGUI    Warning        Failed to read RoofDescriptions
7:26 AM    scenProcGUI    Warning        Failed to read Extrusions
7:26 AM    scenProcGUI    Information    Read Default.xml

Do I need scenproc to read the AutogenDescriptions, RoofDescriptions and Extrusions to be able to work properly on compiling the AGN?

Any ideas Arno what I can do?

Hi Dean,

Scenproc will still work, but without the auto completion of guids etc.

Let me check, but it seems the error comes from spb2xml itself. You have fsx installed as well?
 
I don't have all parts of FSX installed, I'm wondering if perhaps there's a file I missed, I've placed some of the FSX files into a directory but don't have a full install. I have the autogen folder, sdk folder in there, but not all of the FSX directories...
 
Do you have the propdef folder? Spb2xml uses that. And I think you might need the fsx registry entry as well.
 
Thanks Arno, I'll throw those into the mix :) Probably because of the missing propdef folder. I'll find that tool to register FSX registry entry again.
 
Was definitely the propdef folder I needed. I've discovered however that I can break scenproc when it comes to buildings somehow, it worked on a smaller area, but when I did statewide the buildings all disappeared from the final AGN (as well as vegetation)... Not sure if something is wrong with my .spc coding tho.
 
They are gone in Annotator or also in FS itself? The first sometimes happens with small buildings, but scenProc should already filter those out if you have a recent version.

In the event log you still saw the right number of buildings generated being reported?
 
The number of buildings was only a fraction of the total amount. I'm finally coming back up for air today. I'll shoot over the source files once I get a chance ;)
