Unable To Import DEM Maps From DLS To Surveyor

[BT2]

As the title states, I have a minor issue with importing DEM maps from the Download Station into surveyor. I am able to download a DEM without issues, but when it comes to in game, I open it up and nothing, no textures, terrain, or even ground. Suggestions?

I wasn't sure to post this under general or surveyors, so I just stuck it here.

Any missing dependencies?
What build number is the route in?

I am assuming these routes are old Fishlipsatwork TRS2004/TRS2006-era routes.

When loading these into T:ANE you will find they will come in and there is nothing to be seen accept for a fog.


The fix is rather simple and is done in Content Manager.
-Find the DEM map you just downloaded.
-Open for edit in Explorer by right mouse-button clicking and using that option.
- Rename all the files. to mapfile.*

Where the *=the current extension.

In the end you will have mapfile.gnd, mapfile.obj, mapfile.trk, etc.

Close the folder, submit and check for errors.

If there are any errors, you may have to fix some things in the config.txt file such as the region. I can't remember the fix, but it's pretty easy. If you run across this, post the error here, and we'll help you.

And finally one more thing. Ensure you have the HOG textures installed. There's still a chance some might be faulty in T:ANE. For these you need to run them through PEV's Images2TGA.

Once you've done this, the routes will be usable in T:ANE.

If what JCitron is posting is correct, could you post the KUID?

Edit:
Nevermind.
I think I found them... all 200 of them.

 

[BT2]

haha! Yes that fixed it! thank you.
Where would I find the HOG textures?

G'day BT2,

I was under the impression that since TRS 2004, these assets were built-in content but if you don't have them, they can be downloaded from the Download Station (all 72 of them) via a search using their creator's name "tolaris", the asset's name "hog" or the kuid <kuid:2:21000 through to 21071>. It will take about 5 minutes to get them all...

See the following thread in this forum for the fix:

Appreciate the help you all have posted. I think I just now need to rebuild the hog textures to the latest standard then it all should be good.

If you are importing a TRS2004 or earlier route map from the DLS into T:ANE that alone will not work. You need to fix the content item by renaming the files as indicated in the thread I listed above. That fixed the problem for me....

For the hog textures, I am still unable to get them to show on the map, but the odd part is, the textures are in my game and they appear when I paint the ground with them.
I'm just wondering here in the config files, I see a kuid dependencies table, must I go in and manually list them out? or the ones I need?
