Project H-2B HTV update

[Notebook]

I've made the textures for the Yoshinobu Space Center and put them in the textures folder and added this to the Tanegashima.cfg

9 0030 0127 1
9 0030 0128 1
9 0030 0129 1
9 0030 0130 1
9 0031 0127 1
9 0031 0128 1
9 0031 0129 1
9 0031 0130 1
9 0032 0127 1
9 0032 0128 1
9 0032 0129 1
9 0032 0130 1
9 0033 0127 1
9 0033 0128 1
9 0033 0129 1
9 0033 0130 1

but they don't show in Orbiter, am I naming them properly ?

Those numbers don't agree with what comes out of Ar81's Surface Tiles Wizard.

As Starshipexplorer says above you need the BEGIN/END SURFTILES lines in your config file.

Try copying this into your config file, after backing up and removing the lines between [code/code] you posted.

BEGIN_SURFTILELIST
9 22137 95373 1
END_SURFTILELIST

!!!!Edit: got the lat/long crossed in the Surface Tiles Wizard BaseLacations.txt entry. Should be :

Yoshinobu: +130.9754473 +30.4009972

(thats my estimate from Google Earth.

This gives:

BEGIN_SURFTILELIST
9 95373 22137 1
END_SURFTILELIST

the Surface Tile file name in Textures directory would then be

Earth_9_e95373_n22137.dds

Should have spotted that when the lattitude was 130 degrees....

Thanks, but I do have those, I only showed what I entered to the .cfg file. Here is the whole file. The level 4 tiles show up, but the numbers are'nt close to the level 9 ones.

Understood. I'll look at that ...Looks good

[Donamy]

Thanks for the effort ! I can finish the addon pretty quickly if I get this solved.

 

[Donamy]

Project suspended !!

I can't figure out the problem with the surface tiles. I've looked at the suface tile wizard tutorial, but I can't understand why it won't work. Sorry to those who were expecting this addon.

Can't you just release it without the surface tiles? Just the launchpad would be fine.

Seems a shame to waste all the effort you have put into it so far...

 

[4throck]

Why not simply create a horizontal plane mesh with the right dimensions and texture it ?

Don't know,but check if there already exist base on same cordinate and fighting with your base,just a thought.

 

[Starshipexplorer]

Hi Donamy. I made some Level 6 tiles from Notebook's coordinates using EasyTiler. Does this look correct?

 

[Notebook]

To Donamy and all above:

I don't know how you have given the names of the the .dds surface tile file names, but I have always used this format:

Earth_9_e95373_n22137.dds

You have to give that "Planet_level_Longtitude_Latitude.dds"
structure, or it dosen't show.

Look in the textures directory of a basic Orbiter installation, and I think you will see waht I mean.

I wanted to be able to have some shadows from the lightning stansions and pad.

I don't have any other textures with those coordinates

Hi Donamy. I made some Level 6 tiles from Notebook's coordinates using EasyTiler. Does this look correct?

Yes, That looks great ! Mine are level 9 and alittle bigger, but that would be fine. I couldn't figure EasyTiler out.

That is the format I used.

Don,

Here is a level 7 set of tiles I whipped up, if you want them...

Dave

 

[Donamy]

That would be great, Could I get a config file to go with it. LOL

 

[David413]

You have mail...

That is the format I used.

Earth_9_e0127_n0030.dds

Donamy, just to make sure I'm miss-understanding you correctly,
I played around with Surface Tile Calculator, and got this:

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k207/Notebook_04/DonamyBase.jpg

Looks like your tiles are around 0.175 North, 0.042East, to give you a .dds file called "Earth_9_e0127_n0030.dds".

Here's a short base config to get there.

BASE-V2.0
Name = Donamy
Location = +0.175 +0.042
Size = 2000
BEGIN_OBJECTLIST
LPAD2
POS 0 0 0
SCALE 0 0 0
TEX Lpad02
NAV 130.20
END
END_OBJECTLIST
BEGIN_SURFTILELIST
9 127 30 1
END_SURFTILELIST

You could copy and paste those lines into a .txt file using a new Notepad document, rename it to a .cfg type. That will give you a base near those lat/long co-ordinates. Another method would be to use an existing .cfg, and delete all, then paste those lines in, and save as "Donamy".

You could make a scenario for that, or just fly there using the "Donamy" base selected in MAP MFD.

You seem to have a few offers of surface tiles!, so this is probably not relevant, just wanted to understand those numbers.

[4throck]

Adding some alpha transparency to the surface tiles limits would be nice, so that they blend into the default planet textures.
I can do it, I only need to have access to the dds files.

Having another bugger of a time with multistage. I have the four booster meshes in the meshes/multistage folder, but the guidance.txt won't work. If I eliminate boosters 3 and 4 from the .ini, it launches. I'm stumped, any suggestions ?

Here's the .ini if someone would like to take alook.

Don't know why you have problem,my X-71 have 4 booster and all work fine compare with your config file,maybe you figure out what's wrong,astrosommy make a guidance for it maybe he know what's wrong.

 

[David413]

Don, check your Email...

 

[Donamy]

Fianally got the multistage problems worked out, moving along nicely now.
