Working with Matlab and tileedit

[gattispilot]

So I have extracted both the elevation and surf files for the moon.
Downloaded and installed the MCR_R2015a_win64_installer

Does this happen the moment you launch tileedit, or after some action?

If there is a file "tileedit.mat" in your working directory, can you delete it before launching tileedit.exe, to make sure tileedit isn't trying to reload a previous session.

Thank you to report this : by deleting this file we often solve the problems of launching tileedit :tiphat:

tileedit is not easy to start, but once you understand that, it is a very useful prog...

Yes. I got it to launch. Not sure if I did the next step correctly.
I opened file: textures/moon/elev/09/06

No you didn't. You open textures/moon

Just asking but would installing interfere with with compiling an add on?
I get a runtime error when I add this vessel I am working on?

 

[martins]

Installing what?

 

[gattispilot]

It is an project i am working on. It didnt have a runtime error before. Just seeing if this might have cause it

I am not trying to be rude, but could you be a bit more precise? What is "this"?

In case "this" = installing the Matlab 2015a runtimes, then no. The matlab runtimes are 64-bit libraries, while Orbiter is 32-bit. They live in separate universes.

 

[gattispilot]

This is what I get. It just to have started after getting tileedit to start:

It is a project I am coding.

If you suspect the Matlab runtimes:

• did you try uninstalling them to see if that fixes the problem?
• did you check which runtimes your project is linked against, and whether they are different to your other projects?
• did you try recompiling one of your currently working projects to see if that replicates the problems?

If you suspect the Matlab runtimes:

• did you try uninstalling them to see if that fixes the problem?
  
  YES and still runtime error
  
• did you check which runtimes your project is linked against, and whether they are different to your other projects?
  
  Not sure about this?
  
  
• did you try recompiling one of your currently working projects to see if that replicates the problems?
  
  Yes. and no issues.
  
  

Well it appears it is not this causing the issues.

This looks great where can I download it ?

 

[gattispilot]

Well tileedit comes with Orbiter2016 in Utils folder.

To run tileedit.exe you must install the MATLAB R2015a runtime package
(MCR_R2015a_win64_installer.exe), which can be downloaded from

http://uk.mathworks.com/products/compiler/mcr/

Be sure to download the Windows 64-bit runtime for R2015a (8.5),

Gattis, I also had CTDs a while ago after playing with surface / elevation tiles.
I was feeding orbiter wrongly sized files, adding stuff just to one level, etc. A mess!

So you can try to revert to the basic textures that come with Orbiter and see if it solves the problem.

Thanks. I finally got it to work. By following:https://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=560674&postcount=63

I haven't tried anything else.

So it sounds like download and run the runtimes. And use ot3 to extract the files. This is about how far I got. But by using ot3 and paint I got it too.
