[Linux]Error with PMNV North Caribbean ground obj.
I'm using the Linux version of YSFlight. After adding the PMNV North Caribbean map, I can launch the game, but when I join a server hosting the map, such as YSCAS, I get an error about /user/neocon/ground/treeforest.dnm.
I have dug into all the files related to this particular object, and while I did find a few occurrences of an uppercase/lowercase mismatch, this one error will NOT go away after fixing them.
I'm usually able to fix case errors with mods, so this is a particularly challenging problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, I did a quick check to see if the problem was in another part of the map mod, and I can confirm no error loading after I, um, switched the DNM file...

I thought I had fixed those, though. Maybe I didn't?NightRaven wrote: ↑Mon Aug 20, 2018 11:05 am those builds refuse to load dnms that have their constituent srfs outside of the dnm file ie. exploded dnms which happens to be pat's style of making ground objects.

That could be the cause of the problem, but should it not happen with the later Windows and Mac OS versions of YSFlight as well?NightRaven wrote: ↑Mon Aug 20, 2018 11:05 am if you are using the later versions of linux ysflight such as those after 2015, you're out of luck. if I remember correctly, those builds refuse to load dnms that have their constituent srfs outside of the dnm file ie. exploded dnms which happens to be pat's style of making ground objects. this also affects aircraft, so u might not be able to load utachy's aircraft such as the mrj and tristar as well.
I do have treeforest.srf as listed below:Turbofan wrote: ↑Sun Aug 19, 2018 1:18 pm Can you tell us exactly what error you're getting? Is it the "Cannot load..." error? I have that exact same treeforest.dnm file also but I have a few others, like treeforest1.dnm etc. From the looks of it you might not have the treeforest.srf file, check to see if you have that. If not, you might need to update the ground pack.
Code: Select all
... ~/software/ysflight/user/neocon/ground $ du -b treeforest*
154 treeforest1.dat
393811 treeforest1.srf
11362 treeforest2cl.srf
154 treeforest2.dat
17885 treeforest2.srf
153 treeforest.dat
2981 treeforest.dnm
504216 treeforest.srf
I am using the latest YSFlight edition, as that was the logical and easiest thing to do after not using YSFlight for years and not having quick local access to an older version at the present moment.
Also, might be worth noting that the error dialog appears exactly 10 times, I assume that is the number of instances of the particular entity that causes this error, wherever they are.
(Due to conflicting/outdated version codes in the various included files and readmes, I'm not sure what the version datecode is for my YSFlight version, but the zip file 'YsflightForLinux.zip' contains files with datestamps of 8-May-2015. The same zip extracted and running as my showcase server is listed as 20150425 by the YSFHQ server list.)
The grouping called "PMNETREEFOREST" is not visible, but individual trees appear OK.
In case it matters, here's my personal record of case changes made to my copies of the mod files during troubleshooting:
Code: Select all
user/neocon/ground/treeforest.dat: "PMNETREEforest" - corrected to all uppercase.
tree10m.dat: "PMNETREE10m" - not changed, I couldn't find whether other files referred to these trees by upper or mixed case.
tree25m.dat: "PMNETREE25m" - unchanged
tree50m.dat: "PMNETREE50m" - unchanged
tree100m.dat: "PMNETREE100m" - unchanged
treepalm30m.dat: "IDENTIFY PMNETREE_Palm30m" - corrected to uppercase
tree10m.srf, tree25m.srf starts with "Surf" - corrected to uppercase "SURF"
I really don't know. Maybe the real problem is my inability to see the forest for the trees?
Yes, I know my puns are deadly.

Re: [Linux]Error with PMNV North Caribbean ground obj.
The PMNE spelling occurs in a lot of the files I examined, I don't think that is a source of errors. If it isn't the desired spelling, at least it is consistent in the places I've seen it.
