TacEdit - Objectives import failed
-
Hi, (yes it is me again )
Thanks to C9’s help I managed to get Dem2Terrain rolling;
I also found a way (that is free and easy) to get *.adf files to *.e00 files for terrain features, minus one or two parse/read error (more on than soon in a post of its own if I can finish the tutorial and prove it works),
and thus managed to follow the ultimate theater tutorial (this one here ).However…
Now i am at the step to import the objectives generated by Dem2Terrain into TacEdit, but every time I do so I get this error :
Import failed: Last Record was FORT CHIPEWYANFort Chipewyan is the first entry in my objectives.csv (linked here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T_aOHcelPhJYiwyJD_Qr-GvInI8Dnsfw/view?usp=sharing ).
So basically, no objectives are imported.I searched around the old PMC forum and this one to but to no avail.
Any insight would be appreciated
Thanks again!

I didn’t have any problem!!! :rofl:
Do you have Excel or some freeware program capable of dealing with .csv’s??

You have me confused :oops:
Yes I do have excel yes.
-
Why you confused??
Did you make sure there are no object(ives) already in your tacedit file??
Open the .csv in Excel, then save it and make sure it’s comma separated, just to make sure. Then Import it into TacEdit.
I downloaded your file, well I opened it with WPS office suite and saved it, then imported it into TacEdit.

Still no difference.
I have no objectives listed, all is deleted.
Just for comparison’s sake I made a virgin .cam file from tacedit and tried to import, didn’t went thru same error.Must be something I missed somewhere.

Well there’s really nothing to it. Like I said, I just opened your file in WPS office, saved it and imported it!!!
I can send you the file if you like!!!

Sure why not, either it works or it doesn’t.
If it still doesn’t, I’ll redo the process in case I missed a thing on tacview’s side.
If it does, I’ll still scratch my head, but at least I’ll be progressing -

The package contains the te_new.tac(which can be renamed as campaign files later), the .csv file(just for the hell of it), and the .wch/.idx files which contain the objectives names, they have to be present in the campaign folder along with the .tac/.cam files.
Cheers,

Thanks for the files!
Still can’t import the objectives tho, which leads me to believe either I messed up somewhere earlier in the process or my PC is having a laugh (considering the fun I had with Dem2Terrain I wouldn’t be surprised at this point).
Will redo from the very begging, see where it goes later today.Huge thanks for the help, will update this post when I can make it works

Well, redid the entire theater process from Zero with a new terrain and data set following the Ultimate Theater Tutorial, and nothing changed.
No idea what is going on. Kinda depressing lol. -
I understand it sucks that you’re having some type of issue, but at least you have a working file that I sent you!!
I can only wonder if its your system, already had an issue with the .hdr file association, so I wouldn’t doubt W10 is bugging out for whatever reason!!??

Yeah, I’m investigating windows 10, to be fair the tools are for the most part old, so it is not out of the question they don’t play nice together.
Also working around the files you’ve send to try identify a pattern or a lead.
Thinking of getting a virtual machine setup with an older OS.What I am pretty sure at this point, is that TacView is the culprit somehow. It can import V1 objective csv (those it exports) but can’t import the V2 (those from Dem2Terrain) on my system.
So I’m also looking to see if I can find a way to transfer the information from V2 to V1.Unless there are other means to acquire the objective.csv that i am not aware of?

I’ve been using the old tools, TacEdit, LodEditor, F4Browse and all of the rest since 2002, most built by BaldEagle and have never had any issues with the tools, per se!
So I’m not sure why you are. Send me the object(ive) file that you are having a problem with and I will check it out!!

Honestly, all objective files being made by dem2terrain are giving me troubles, all the same “Import failed: Last Record was […]”.
Tell me, which version of TacEdit you using?
TacEdit seems to be the point where it splits between working on your side, and failing on my side. You were able to import the file, while I can’t.Here’s the new file for my 2nd attempt : http://www.mediafire.com/file/oe3qifjlrjvz3r4/EastC-obj.csv/file

2.48!!

Download the raw file and imported the objectives without issue!!

Alright, so same verison of TacEdit, with same file and not working. The only things that differs is the OS from what I see maybe?
The only thing I can think of is User Account Control being a smart ass. Will try to disable and see if it changes anything.
If it is not that… I don’t know anymore lol.Edit : UAC changes didn’t help.

Ok, now send me the tacedit file you are trying to work with, that may be the issue??

Didn’t have any problem at all importing the objectives into either file!!!
Although in your .tac file, the Scenario and Saved Name in the Campaign tab should both say te_new
Sorry for the bad news!! :uham:
