Where can I get BTB 0.6?

[Rubinhofan]

Maybe someone has a link to the 0.6 version of btb. I need it.
Thanks

 

[Rubinhofan]

ok, but I get always the same error message in btb when loading the project:

I´ve looked for the path of the background image files, I have 15 files (3x5) and I used procesar_elementstxt_mt(3,5,1). I don´t know what to do anymore.

 

[Rubinhofan]

ok, thanks for your help so far.
In btb the background images produce some strange artefacts:



How can I fix that ?

 

[zaxxon]

Where the artefacts are visible just move the nodes a little using BTB.
This is what I would do.

I´ve got a new problem in btb. When adding new track nodes, btb shows an error message:

System.NullReferenceException: Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt.
bei BobsBits.Driveline.RecalcPacenotePositionsAfterCurveIsSplit(Track Track, Int32 liNodeId, Int32 liPieces, Int32 liNodesCount)

I activated the right track and used strg + left mouseclick. The message comes up and I click on continue the work carries on. The node has been created but everytime I add a new one the message comes again.

 

[zaxxon]

Sorry, but I haven't seen that before. The message seems related to the pacenotes. I would try to add or remove pacenotes to see if that way BTB fixes the problem.

(may be you didn't use updated pacenotes when running join_all? May be there is a pacenote exactly on one node and BTB doesn't like that?)

@ zaxxon: Is it possible to write a script which repositions the terrain points in a straight line to fit the background images perfectly ? It is a lot of work to move them manually in the right position.

If you want triangles to match background images you can use addgrid script to add a grid to the .geo file with the right number of cells and then change your non-driveable zone to be composed of smaller zones that fit the grid cells. I used that method for my Cueva Santa stage. You can find the BTB project elsewhere. The figures on these messages are easy to understand.

I´ve got another problem. Look at the picture.


At some points of the track, the terrain is missing. The missing parts are from physical surface (111). In the phys111.txt there are the surfaces. I copied the into the .geo and later the mesh was right. There were no holes. I don´t know why at the end there are some holes in the terrain. With Meshlab I only removed unreferenced vertex.

 

[zaxxon]

The scripts remove certain kind of triangles because BTB doesn't accept them. It is a normal issue.

 

[Rubinhofan]

So there is no other possibility fixing the holes without btb.

 

[zaxxon]

These holes are created because otherwise BTB would refuse to open the track. If the scripts destroy triangles is because they are not ok for BTB.

I have a problem with gmsh. I get an error when creating the mesh of the longest stage (40 km).

"Microsoft Visual C++ - Runtime Library

here is the .geo-File

[zaxxon]

I have deleted the characteristic length (4th parameter) of the Points you added to create the spline.
I have corrected the line crossing that caused the error:

Comment: no need to do the MeshLab step. I would just use accept_mesh.

 

[Rubinhofan]

Thanks Zaxxon, the work continues.

For the kml-Path of the road I used google Earth images from 2004, because they were better for one stage. Is it possible to get these old images with sasplanet ?

 

[chub_pearson]

In Google Earth you can use the TimeSlider to move to earlier versions so you can maybe recall the 2004 versions. I'm using 5.2.1.1588 from Sept 2010, don't know if it's still there in the current version
