Monster Terrain tool
-
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.

“0 DDS file(s) could not be found.
Search folder: C:\FALCON BMS 4.33 U1\DATA\ADD-ON VENEZUELA\TERRDATA\TEXTURE\TEXTURE
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.

managed to fix it… dunno how… i just redid the all process from scratch… now i have a terrain completely autotiled… Is it posible to test a teather like that in bms? i mean without campaing and objects placed…?

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?
-
Go to the taskbar at the bottom and hover your mouse over the preview window. Then hit Alt+space. A window will pop-up. Click the move option and move it with arrows. It will appear.

It worked, thank you!

Hello guys,
I tested this tool on 4.34 and it works. No problem at all.
