• 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.

Hi guys,

I need some help debugging the Blender P3D/FSX toolkit. I am working on the exporter and try to get PBR working with the tool and finished the adjustment of the X-file. But When trying to export, I get a XToMdl.exe error:
Code:

The object I am trying to export is a simple cube with PBR material. Here's the X-file the exporter generated:

Any idea what I'm missing?

Hello Vitus...

Are you giving the model a friendly name? I see the GUID, but not a name within the code (at least that I have found?)

Out of range error - empty field?

Hi Doug,

Code: 
GuidToName {
    "{99d3266c-a531-45a1-1626-88f1d63282ba}";
    "test_cube";
}

"test_cube" is the friendly name. Should there be another entry somewhere with it?

Yes, the export with specular works. I think there's probably something wrong with how the material is setup, but I just can't find the culprit.

Here is a thought...

Can you take the one didn't work... wondering if you take 1 pbr texture at a time. Are there more than 1 pbr texture used?

Maybe a specific one is causing the error?

The model is already as simple as it comes - just a cube, with one PBR material :)

The only other thing I can think of is to have @arno look at it...

He knows more about the XtoXML errors than "all" of us I think ;)

I like a challenge like this, I'll have a look at the X file :)

Hi,

It was quite a tricky one, you MeshMaterialList template was out of date. Before it could only contain Material instances, but now also PBRMaterial. So the template needs to be as below:

Code: 
template MeshMaterialList {
 <F6F23F42-7686-11cf-8F52-0040333594A3>
 DWORD nMaterials;
 DWORD nFaceIndexes;
 array DWORD faceIndexes[nFaceIndexes];
 [...]
}

Click to expand...

Oh wow Arno, you're a wizard! Thanks a lot for looking into this!

Is there any other oddities you know about in the templates that changed between FSX and P3D/v4?

Hi,

If I remember correctly this was the most tricky one. When I added PBR support to MCX I also hit this issue.

I did a diff with the templates that MCX uses and only noticed one of two missing templates in your file. But as long as you don't use these commands it does not matter. So I think you are good now.
