Zaxxon to BTB import error

[Dzalud]

I have a problem with venue.xml. Whem i can open in BTB, appears error. "Found unexpected end of file. The following elements are not closed"
I dont know, where is the problem.

 

[zaxxon]

Can I see your Venue.xml?
Did you make a whole project using the scripts or did you follow the steps proposed by ehrlec for importing objects as terrain?
(http://www.racedepartment.com/bobs-track-builder/48130-objects-btb-terrain-zaxxon-method.html)

If I can't find the problem having a look at your .xml I will ask you to give me a link to all the files used by the scripts.

 

[Dzalud]

absolutely, here is link - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8Z872PGK
I use the scripts and i use instruction in folder "documentation"

 

[zaxxon]

The Venue.xml is badly finished.
Can you close octave, and try again?

Are you using the new graphical interface? If you are, please try now using the command-line window so I can see the error messages:
> cd s9_join
> join_all

 

[Dzalud]

I closed octave and try again. One question - must be added to the project background image, invisible walls and pacenotes?..because I did not place there..so try this command again?

[zaxxon]

s7_walls step is optional.

s10_split step is mandatory. You didn't complete it so you don't have a lis.txt and join_all fails to create the Venue.xml.

Yo can add pacenotes, or not.
You can blend with background images, or not.
But you always have to split the track and the terrain. So split the track, select the grid size (MxN), click on "Split the terrain" and try again creating the Venue.xml

 

[Dzalud]

but here is maybe problem:
> cd c:\project\s10_split

[zaxxon]

It is just a message on screen, may be it is not an error message.

Edit: but I think it is a problem because the scripts can't find 2 files you do need.

 

[Dzalud]

So i finished spliting terrain and track and its still not working :frown:

 

[zaxxon]

Did you complete the s4_terrain step without problems?

 

[Dzalud]

coge_datos it's ok,procesar nodos it's ok too. But when can i "accept_mesh" i see errors, look:
octave-3.2.3.exe:6:c:\project\s4_terrain
> accept_mesh

[zaxxon]

If you don't complete a step, you shouldn't go on with the process.
Did you create the physical surfaces in the .msh?

 

[Dzalud]

Did you mean this ? ...i can't find that line with "physical surface"

 

[zaxxon]

You should watch updated tutorials from parlesportes. http://www.plpcreation.tonsite.biz/

The Physical Surface (111) list can be read from phys111.txt (and in multi-track projects it has to be completed with more surfaces, created by hand) and Physical Surface (222) has to be created and include the plane surface code for the non-driveable zone.

Once you change the .geo, save the mesh and open the .msh with gmsh to check that all the surfaces are there.
You can post the .msh here if you want me to check it is ok now.

 

[Dzalud]

here is my .geo http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QNFN8KUL
I don't know exactly what I do now

 

[zaxxon]

You have to do a little work with the .geo. You can't use it directly as the scripts create it.
1) Update the scripts
2) Read sections IV.1 to IV.7 of Details.pdf (inside documentation folder)
2) Watch parlesporte's videos on his site (BTB\tutoriels zaxxon), for example "Réalisation d'un projet Simple route 1ere partie" or older ones in english http://www.divshare.com/download/11447916-783

 

[Dzalud]

Ok, i will try this...thanks so much!

 

[Dzalud]

:thanks: many ray: many ray: many ray: thanks Zaxxon!..I used tutorial from this site http://www.plpcreation.tonsite.biz/ and all is in order!...you are best! :letsgoracing: :doublethumb:

 

[zaxxon]

I agree: parlesportes' tutorials are great.
