Alright .ADF database : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1V6ekXSNHG9l_rile0814ND0YTKAdGhwf
Now my workflow was as such.
First you’ll need the above database (export where you want)
Secondly, the importer/exporter (http://avce00.maptools.org/dl/avce00-2.0.0-win32.zip)
- Take it and extract the content anywhere you want;
Now, you’ll open a command-prompt.
- type “cd [path to the folder where you exported the importer/exporter]”, in exemple “cd c:\users\esper\desktop\exporter”;
- now you are ready to export, type “avcexport [path to .adf file’s folder you need] [path to exported folder]”, exemple “avcexport h:\adf_db\india\rdline h:\e00\india\rdline.e00”;
- repeat for dnnet/ponet/pppoly/aepoint/pppoint/rrline OR whatever you need;
Last step before import, you need to do a small edit of the exported file, otherwise Dem2Terrain will refuse the file.
- Open the exported file in a text editor;
- The very first line should look something like this : “EXP 0 H:\ADF_DB\INDIA\RDLINE.E00”
- Change it to this : “EXP 0 H:/ADF_DB/INDIA/RDLINE.E00”
- The only difference is the reversing of the “slash”.
That’s how I went about the whole thing. Hope it is helpful.
Thanks,I’ll try it.

Does it contain and buildings like lots for example?
Not sure what you mean?
Or you could provide such for the whole world or where you found the data after all?
I can try to retrace where I found it, no promises tho, if i remember it was buried quite deep into the internet.
Edit : Found the original source (https://psu.app.box.com/v/dcw/file/55755582550), still comes as one big compressed folder, much the same as what I uploaded on google drive.

Now, you’ll open a command-prompt.
- type “cd [path to the folder where you exported the importer/exporter]”, in exemple “cd c:\users\esper\desktop\exporter”;
- now you are ready to export, type “avcexport [path to .adf file’s folder you need] [path to exported folder]”, exemple “avcexport h:\adf_db\india\rdline h:\e00\india\rdline.e00”;
- repeat for dnnet/ponet/pppoly/aepoint/pppoint/rrline OR whatever you need;
You sure this is correct?? It’s not working for me.
Maybe a clarification?

Are you getting an error like this? - avcexport : Cannot create [insert export path]: No such file or directory
If such, and this is my mistake I forgot to point it out, you have to create the export folder beforehand. -
I figured that out and created an export folder, but I’m now getting permission denied on the creation??
Your attachment is working.

Are you getting this on command prompt?
Never had this error so unsure what could be the cause. -
Might have found it, did you launched command-prompt in administrator? Cause I get this error when I do. Try not launching in admin mode.

LOL, been messing with permissions and yes, I was running it in admin thinking that was the problem. I’ll switch back and let ya know. Thanks!!

If not, make sure you give the full file extension at the end, exemple : rdline.E00 (this caused it for me too this way)
Full example of export command line:
avcexport h:\dcw\coverages\brazil\rdline h:\dcw\e00\brazil\rdline.e00Otherwise I am not sure.
Edit : Nevermind, nothing to do with admin mode (at least on my side) I just messed-up the command line, gave me a false cause sorry.

Same thing, permission denied??

Can you screen cap your command prompt?

Can you screen cap your command prompt?
Sure:
I’ve tried everything I can think of? I have the data in 2 separate places and have tried both locations with the same results. Using the .E00 extension and not.

So what I see, on the last one for exemple, is that you ask it to just take what is inside the folder Alabama.
Now as the exporter sees it in this folder, by default, there is no *.adf files only folders.What I believe you should type:
avcexport E:\Downloads\E00Data\adf_database\coverages\Alabama\[b]aepoint[/b] E:\E00Data\Alabama\aepoint.[b]E00[/b]
Make sure the first path - where it looks for the *.adf - is the parent folder of said *.adf, in your case \aepoint .
Also that the second path - where it will export in *.e00 - is ended with the file extension, in your case \aepoint.e00 . -
Copied and pasted your path, and it says invalid coverage path!!! WTH!! I’m pointing to the correct data directory and my created export directory and it’s not working. I’ve done this stuff before, not this specific exporter and didn’t run into these issues??
Ok, let me organize this crap and I’ll get back to you. This should be easy and it’s turning into a bear fight!!! HAHA
Although doing this before I was on Win7, I just upgraded to Win10 a few weeks ago!

I did Arty’s workflow,but same error was happened.
I can’t understand. -

@Cloud:
I think you mean Esper’s??
Exactly.

C9 no problem to have alternatives.
Till now we had one source only for the E00 data and see what happened.
Does it bother you to have a backup plan or an alternative solution in case your main source is not available any more?Jeez… mercy man, ease up. we are on the same side here. Please try to have it in mind.
