Hello all,
I'm a bit lost with the plsm2. Indeed, there are a lot of options described on the wiki paged and there are even more options in the sample config files that are not listed in the wiki.
PLSM2 provide quite a lot of features but in the first time I would just like to view a large terrain with good performances. I start form a heightmap 4097*4097 and a texture 2048*2048
Here is what I guessed but it didn't work.
//----------------------------------------------------------------
map.gen.cfg
Map definition
GroupName
LandScapeFileName
LandScapeExtension
LandScapeExportExtension
TextureExtension
ScaleX, ScaleY, ScaleZ
PageSize
TileSize
Heightmap definition
OutDirectory
Paged
DataSource
Data2DFormat
Texturing (And I guess it's here that I am wrong)
ColorMapName
//----------------------------------------------------------------
map.cfg
Map definition
GroupName
LandScapeFileName
LandScapeExtension
LandScapeExportExtension
TextureExtension
ScaleX, ScaleY, ScaleZ
PageSize
TileSize
Paging Option
Width
Height
DataSource Definition
Data2DFormat
//----------------------------------------------------------------
So please, could anyone tell me what should minimals config files look like?
thanks a lot

It should work in theory...
Give it with the values you did use, filenames of data and texture files, and where it did fails.

When I try to "prepare" my map with mapsplitter, it doesn't create me the file.x.z.png files.
here is my kapula.gen.cfg

ColorMapName=kapula_texture.png
I have kapula.png and kapula_texture.png in the dirextory. Mappslitter.log doesn't show any error. So I guess that I forgot something.
and when i run demo_plsm2 with my other minimal config file, no terrain is displayed

using Release or Debug ?
using Debug should give more info on splitting process, but release should at least show a dos window printing the two pn names ?

tourix

yes it's exactly what I have.
and paginglandscape2.cfg

# resource group name where to find map definition
GroupName=PLSM2
I tried with the plsm2 binaries that were on your web page.
But what I really don't understand is that there is no problem with the sample maps. I don't get why my map isn't splitted
How about adding an OutDirectory directive to the .gen.cfg file you created for the unsplit map, similar to:
OutDirectory=/ogrenew/Samples/Media/paginglandscape/LandScapeFileName
Is mapsplitter exiting immediately, or does it take some time to run?
tourix
25-10-2005 13:44:56
unfortunately, i tried to change the outdirectory url doesn't solve the probleme.
MapSplitter take some time to run after
Added resource location 'Media/kapula' of type 'FileSystem' to resource group 'PLSM2'
it runs several seconds then it quits
tuan kuranes
25-10-2005 13:58:35
no output in the DOS box ?
tourix
25-10-2005 15:52:52
nop, just the underscore "_" blinking
tuan kuranes
25-10-2005 16:01:27
Not even the equivalent content of Mapsplitter.log ?
(should be.)
tourix
25-10-2005 16:44:02
nothing :/
If you take my configs files, do you have the same problems? (of course i don't think of changing the heightmap's name)
tuan kuranes
25-10-2005 17:03:06
Ok. reproduced the bug. do you have the kapula.png and texture just copied in the mapsplitter directory.
tuan kuranes
25-10-2005 17:14:44
"paged" => "Paged"
... OgreConfig object that handle config file is case sensitive...
tuan kuranes
25-10-2005 17:21:30
and if Media subdirectory doesn't exists it won't create it.
It creates only the last subdirectory (the LandScapeFilename one.)
tourix
25-10-2005 17:47:21
such a stupid error. Thank you very much, I can now split the map and the texture without any problem
But I encounter another error now:
Error #: 4
Function: PagingLandScapePage::load

File: \gl\Api\cvs\OgreHead\ogre\PlugIns\PagingLandScape2\src\OgrePagingLandScapePage.cpp
Does it mean that I did something wrong or that I MUST precise the MaxNumTiles option?
