Problems with map maker

[sztartur2]

Any news with this?

[sztartur2]

Still no news? 

[Erik Rutins]

Not yet, sorry, we are investigating it.

[Stridor]

Sorry you are having these difficulties sztartur,

I think it is pretty obvious what is going wrong. I must admit I am surprised the Matrix team hasn't been able to help you yet?

S.

[sztartur2]

Nope, unable to make any maps... [&:][8|][:o]

[sztartur2]

BTW Stridor can you help me? [:)]

[sztartur2]

So is somebody from Matrix willing to help foix this or shall I kiss the game good bye?

[Erik Rutins]

Not only willing, but working on it. Since Stridor has decided not to post his idea, I guess you'll have to wait for us. We are working on it.

Any idea when will the fix arrive to me?

[Mobius]

sztartur,
BTW, what were you doing at the time the script error occured?
From the looks of things you hadn't selected a skybox yet.

Mobius he even tried MM with existing maps and still gets the error.

Mobius he even tried MM with existing maps and still gets the error.

I had some luck tracking down my problem. It may help him. I think MM sets up some file paths that aren't reset when the game is uninstalled. He may have to rebuild a shell of the game structure in the drive he first installed it in. Maybe a Panzer Command Ostfront folder and an empty Media folder. And see if the map isn't built in that folder.

Hi Sztartur,

We have some ideas, but this is a real puzzler, given that reinstalling and updating IE has made no difference and you are experiencing an error that is not coming up on any of our test systems or for other users.

With the nvcompress call failing either the previous convert call failed as well (resulting in a missing source image) or your graphics card may be too old. According to http://code.google.com/p/nvidia-texture ... umentation nvcompress on BC1 compression is GPU accelerated using CUDA, which requires a GeForce 8 series card or higher. Adding a "-nocuda" as parameter should fix the error if that is the case.

Could you post a DxDiag for us so that we can confirm what hardware you have?

We could try to use the exact calls to convert and nvcompress done by the script and then have you execute them manually in terminal mode. This way we might get the real error.

Regards,

- Erik

[sztartur2]

DxDiag prepared.

[Mobius]

sztartur
Here is a test height bmp and terrain bmp to use to make a sample map.
Using existing mapmaker files I could reproduce your error. But using these items my map did not have an error.
Also try adding a skybox and a some terrain.

So try it and see what you get.

[sztartur2]

Ok I'll try but I get this with EVERY map.

[sztartur2]

Tried it got the error at once.

What is skybox?

Tried it got the error at once.

What is skybox?

Skybox is the what the sky looks like. You choose a design type and the MM makes a section to be used in each direction.
Are you getting the error when you select No not a final build?

[Erik Rutins]

Hi Sztartur,

Thank you for the DxDiag.

Ok, before we start the command line test, could you also upgrade your video card and sound card drivers please? Both are from 2008.

Also, out of curiosity, have you tried changing your Regional Settings to US English temporarily to see if it has any effect?

Regards,

[sztartur2]

Yes I tried with English as regional setting.Same error all the time.
