Hi Monster!
I need a little help, if possible.
Today, when running you Terrain Editor V3.6.1, I opened the window for loading up TEs and CAMs files (can´t recall the right name for the window right now, sorry) and the window did not appear on the desktop, althoug it appeared on the taskbar.
So I uninstalled it and tried to install again, as I did several times with no problems at all.
But right now, it installs fine and when it asks for auto update, if I say either yes or no, this error comes up:
I’m running WIN10 and it used to work fine until now.
Can you help in some way?
Thank you.Best regards,
Nuno -
Hey, hi Nuno my friend.
Well I had a similar issue around a week ago, and the problem caused by my Avira antivirus. It deletes the file “Loader.exe” from the main program folder.
So BEFORE you make a nice installation try, first disable your antivirus. After the installation and the update to the latest version, make an exclusion of the main program folder of Terrain Editor in your antivirus and then no similar issues!
I have now 1.5 week just fine ;).
If you still have issues after this action, report back…
I hope to help you buddy.

I’m also getting the Runtime Error 53, file not found problem. Anyone have any ideas? I’m running Windows 10. BMS is installed on my D drive here: “D:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1”. The Terrain Editor is installed here: “D:\Program Files (x86)\TerrainEditor” and my original Falcon 4 is installed here : “D:\GOG Games\Falcon 4.0”.
EDIT: I got it working. Monster has a FAQ section addressing this very thing. The 3rd method worked for me.

This file is saved in C:\Program Files (x86)\TerrainEditor\Bad_DDS.txt
File created: 22-02-2017 16:01”Any ideas of what im doing wrong

It’s telling you, you have NO terrain texture files. And if you do, they are located in the incorrect folder.
You shouldn’t have two texture folders.

Well, the tiles will be there, but they won’t be correctly placed. About the best you can do is recon stuff in the TE Builder.
If you try to build a TE or try to do a campaign it will crash most likely. But I have no idea where in the process you are.

thats what i want a recon tiles are just a mess anyway jajaja but i want a big picture more than what TE brings at a time…
Basicly i passed the dem2terrain tocreated the L2 file and autotiled with CATE… i managed to create a Terrdata folder… and give the structure as other theaters but when i select in UI the game crashes…i noticed it that i miss some files like .nrm .sbi .tid .bil but i dont find how to create them or what information it suposed to have…
-
Do you have a terrain folder with your Theater.L2 and Theater.O2 file in it??
Do you have a .tdf file an all that other stuff?

i noticed it that i miss some files like .nrm .sbi .tid .bil but i dont find how to create them or what information it suposed to have…
About TERRAIN.BIL,TERRAIN.HDR,TERRAIN.NRM,TERRAIN.SBI, and TERRAIN.TID
The sim looks at start if those files already exist.
if not, they will be created automaticly from .L2 and .O2.So whenever you’ve changed .L2/O2 you should either del those files manually,
or use Monsters TE which has AFAIK an option to auto delete those files.They get recreated and therefore updated with latest .L2 info on next sim start.

LSThanks LS, lol
What you posted is why I asked him to post his TDF. To see if it’s pointing at all the correct stuff, and/or the reason he’s not getting the TERRAIN* files to build.
Also, I’m not having any issues with PB. Not sure why some of you in Europe are???
Cheers

Any solution thoughts on this:
Monster,
… and another bug report.
When I try to load a huge feature file (Road.tdf in my case)I get an error:
“ERROR number 6 Overflow”…
Cheers,http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f82/lazystone/Smileys/hat_3.gif
LSIn my case selecting ok closes TE.
It happens only when I load the te_new.tac and I have selected the show on map on Objective lab and I go to a huge objective. Either by selecting Goto Selected or either by scrolling from the terrain tiles view.

I got a wierd bug with Terrain Tool lately - the preview window is lost and I can’t make it appear. Any solutions to that?
