Navmesh Builder V10 erroring

Toyguy · December 24, 2014

The install instructions are a bit vague - stating to extract the downloaded file into the Release folder. Doing so produces a setup.exe file in that folder. Running that and pointing it to the Release folder results in an SB Navmesh Builder folder beneath Release.

Running the executable from the SB Navmesh Builder folder brings up the dialog and I can add terrain files to it normally. Attempting to convert them, however, throws a series of three 'Could not read palette file' errors and then errors out.

The files it complains about are CustomColorPalette.bmp, RandomColorPalette.bmp and RandomColorPalette_ISO.bmp

The files are all present in the images directory of the install folder.

Any thoughts on resolving this...? Thanks!

Dave

Version 10 should come with an actual installer; it's no longer necessary to extract it first then put it into the release directory. I wonder if you're really using the latest version?

Toyguy · December 24, 2014

OK disregard the first message - I got that resolved. I did install it in the wrong place.

That said, however, none of the conversions are working. Selecting either multiple files, or a single file, the process starts but then quits out nearly immediately with 'An error occured' logged to the progress window for each attempted conversion.

Here's an example log output:

On a side note, 'occured' should be 'occurred' also :-)

Any and all help appreciated!

Yeah, that's what I realized and how I fixed the first error.

Pot this is Kettle, perhaps "note"

Too much Eggnog already?

LOL - could be Mark, could be....

I'm getting the palate file error too. Probably another indicator I should never work in the control room of a nuclear power plant

Teach me to trust spell check .........Palette

Toyguy · December 24, 2014

You should be able to cure the Palette error by running the downloaded file and pointing it to a temporary folder. It should generate 2 files. Run the setup file it created and point the installer to your Release folder.

I'm running into problems with the Navmesh Builder errors.

I have the Navmesh folder in my SB Pro main folder. Then when I add an input .ter file map for conversion I get the following in the output log:

Using 'E:/SB Pro PE/Release/SBProPE64cm.exe' as executable for conversion
Starting to convert C:\ProgramData\eSim Games\Steel Beasts\maps\terrain\Desert.ter...

What else can I say:

We're looking into this.

Sorry about that, I knew you guys were on it, just figured I'd add my experience onto the pile to look at.

...none of the conversions are working. Selecting either multiple files, or a single file, the process starts but then quits out nearly immediately with 'An error occured' logged to the progress window for each attempted conversion.

This is probably because they all already HAVE a navmesh. Please try the following from the command line, and see if that does the trick. I proudly present you the true Mother of All Command Line Options:

C:\Program Files\eSim Games\SB Pro PE\Release>SBProPE64cm.exe --loglevel=TRACE --buildnavmesh --ignoreexistingnavmesh --innavfile "C:\ProgramData\eSim Games\Steel Beasts\maps\terrain\Ben_Het.ter" --outnavfile c:\TEMP\BenHetTest.ter

If there's still an error I'd like to see the corresponding debugLog.txt file.

Also, please check in SB Navmesh Builder if there's the option to set the "ignore existing navmesh" parameter.

Toyguy · January 1, 2015

My V10 Navmesh Builder GUI has no selectable option visible to ignore any existing Navmesh.

Running your command line results in a process flashing briefly in Task Manager, no output file in C:\TEMP and the following log info:

It's confirmed, version 10 is broken. We'll make a version 11.
