Roads do not show in terrain builder no error message

[soapboxsubmarine 11]

Roads do not show in buldozer and no error message in buldozer is what the title should be.

I have error corrected the RoadsLib.cfg file and this is fine, i have also checked the editor.sqs and this is also fine

editor.sqs

~.1

result = buldozer_LoadNewRoads "P:/SOAP/Hadsel/data/roads/";

RoadsLib.cfg

// 1 = Hoved vei

// 2 = Landsvei

// 3 = Gate vei

// 4 = Grus vei

// 5 = Traktor vei

// 6 = sykkel sti

class RoadTypesLibrary

{

class Road0001

{

width = 9;

mainStrTex = "a3\roads_f\Roads\data\highway_ca.paa";

mainTerTex = "a3\roads_f\Roads\data\highway_end_ca.paa";

mainMat = "a3\roads_f\Roads\data\highway.rvmat";

map = "main road";

AIpathOffset = 3;

order=1;

};

class Road0002

{

width = 7;

mainStrTex = "a3\roads_f\roads_new\data\highway_ca.paa";

mainTerTex = "a3\roads_f\roads_new\data\highway_end_ca.paa";

mainMat = "a3\roads_f\roads_new\data\highway.rvmat";

AIpathOffset = 2;

map = "road";

order=2;

};

class Road0003

{

width = 5;

mainStrTex = "a3\roads_f\roads_new\data\main_road_ca.paa";

mainTerTex = "a3\roads_f\roads_new\data\main_road_end_ca.paa";

mainMat = "a3\roads_f\roads_new\data\main_road.rvmat";

AIpathOffset = 1;

map = "road";

};

class Road0004

{

mainStrTex = "a3\roads_f\roads_new\data\road_ca.paa";

mainTerTex = "a3\roads_f\roads_new\data\road_end_ca.paa";

mainMat = "a3\roads_f\roads_new\data\road.rvmat";

map = "track";

AIpathOffset = 1;

order=4;

};

class Road0005

{

width = 2;

mainStrTex = "a3\roads_f\roads_AE\data\surf_roaddirt_path_ca.paa";

mainTerTex = "a3\roads_f\roads_AE\data\surf_roaddirt_path_end_ca.paa";

order=6;

};

};

i cant see what i did wrong. anyone see what i dont

Thnks in advance!

Roads do not show in Buldozer no error message from buldozer

Try changing the ~.1 at the beginning of editor.sqs to ~1.0

ok, thnks will try now

nop, only get new error message and buldozer closes automatically

error LandGrid reference exceeded the range ....some numbers

---------- Post added at 16:05 ---------- Previous post was at 15:52 ----------

i also tried to use 0.1 and no error message then but no roads. I also reexported the layers just in case

here a nice Tutorial: http://tactical.nekromantix.com/wiki/doku.php?id=arma3:terrain:making-roads-in-terrain-builder

this is the one i used:)

What's probably happening is that changing the "pre-delay" from 0.1 seconds (which is often not long enough to let the roads script kick in), to 1.0 seconds DID fix the roads problem, but then you've "fallen through to the next error in line", which is the "Landgrid" one

"LandGrid reference exceeded the range ....some numbers"

... generally refers to Mapframe Sampler settings - posting the full error plus maybe a screenshot of your sampler settings might produce a clue...

thnks bushlurker, youre the man!

i changed the texture layer to 40 instead of 5 and it works

i guess the landgrid exceeded the final satgrid cells

So new roads issue: Now my roads will not show in buldozer again. (no error message) Everything should be fine from last time. The only thing i see which prob is the problem is that my roads folder does not

contain the roads.shp files. Only the polyline and polygon.shp, *.shx, *.dbf and so on. So a clue there but i have no idea how to fix it.

so many pitfalls! :)

thnks

Export the polyline road again and make sure it's called roads.shp, any name apart from roads.shp won't show in BD

[soapboxsubmarine 11]

ok now i get an error message:

17:23:27: Surface not found - Shape layer "Gate vei" : surface "concrete" in mapframe "Hadsel" was not found. Shape layer surface was reset.

17:23:27: CPolygonalArea::UpdateGeometry() - Skipped shape: the polygon is not simple. (polygon_10)

17:23:27: Surface not found - Shape layer "Grus vei" : surface "dirt" in mapframe "Hadsel" was not found. Shape layer surface was reset.

yes this i done all along, they still call themselves roads_polyline.shp strange stuff

---------- Post added at 16:36 ---------- Previous post was at 16:34 ----------

i renamed them manually, and it worked. thnks man. still strange that they wont name themselves even though i cal the export "roads"

anyway. it works

---------- Post added at 16:38 ---------- Previous post was at 16:36 ----------

do you have a clue about the error messages i get when i restart the project btw?

[bushlurker 46]

17:23:27: CPolygonalArea::UpdateGeometry() - Skipped shape: the polygon is not simple.

This one means there's a problem with that particular shape - check it closely for overlapping lines or something like that..

The "Surface Not Found" ones are reporting that there was a "surface type" associated with those particular shape layers and it can't be found anymore
