agn2txt error

[Horst18519]

EDIT: Very sorry, I guess I made a mistake.

But while we're at it: Would it be possible that agn2txt and txt2agn would be able to handle batch files?
It would be very nice if one could specify a folder and the tool processes all agn files in that folder into txt files with the same name and vice versa.

Hi Thorsten,

You could easily write a batch file to do so. Something like:

for %%f in (*.agn) do agn2txt %%f > %%~nf.txt

I haven't tested the code, so hopefully I made no mistakes .

Wow, this works, thanks alot!!

Trying to recompile them back to agn after working on my files, I get an annotator crash though.
If I'm not mistaken, the GUID for those default buildings (B) in the annotator is just zeros. If I convert an agn file that only include those into txt, it only shows that 0 GUID. But converting back into agn, the Annotator crashes if I try to load the file.

Let me check, I made some changes recently to support FS2004 format as well. Maybe I broke some things.

 

[arno]

Hi Thorsten,

Since I don't have your photo scenery, I tried it with one of my files. But I get no crash in Annotator after I decompile with agn2txt and then recompile with txt2agnx.

 

[Horst18519]

Thanks, I'll try it again.

 

[Horst18519]

Arno, could you please try once more and confirm this: Is it possible to compile AGNGenericBuilding {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} objects without crashing the Annotator?

I did another try, deleted all my autogen, just placed 3 single buildings (B) and saved. Decompiled to txt (those buildings are always those 00000... generic buildings), then immediately compiled back to agn, loaded the resample again in the Annotator - and it crashed.

 

[arno]

Hi Thorsten,

Ok, I'll try like you did. Make a agn file with annotator, decompile, recompile and load again.

 

[arno]

Hi Thorsten,

I just tried it again. Started with an area without autogen. Added some buildings. Then decompile with agn2txt. Then recompiled with txt2agnx. Annotator still likes the new AGN file after that.

Are you sure you are using txtagnx? The old txt2agn should be removed since the tools also support FS2004 AGN files.

 

[Horst18519]

Now that explains some things. Sorry, I didn't see that txt2agnx, I'll try that one instead.

 

[arno]

Hopefully that works. When I tried txt2agn the tool itself crashed.

 

[Horst18519]

Arno, I have to bring this up again.
Unfortunately, it still doesn't work for me, even with the txt2agnx.exe. If I place one simple default building, or if I "agn2txt" and "txt2agn" again a file that includes default buildings or just vegetation rectangles, the annotator crashes each time.
I also notice how the size of the agn file increased a bit when I did this with a file containing a default house, but when I did it with a file that only contained vegetation rectangles, the size dropped to half. Is that to be expected?

 

[arno]

Hi Thorsten,

The size should not change normally. Can you send me your two files for testing?

Send from my phone using Tapatalk, so excuse the short sentences and possible typos

Hello Arno,

now that we solved the issue (as usual the culprit was at the front end...) I still struggle to batch-job files.

For decompiling I use this batch line: (example file "033B2an1.agn")

for %%f in (*.agn) do agn2txt.exe %%f > %%~nf.txt

That gives me txt files with correct names. But if I recompile back with the following line:

for %%f in (*.txt) do txt2agnx.exe %%f .

I get a file called "033B2aan.agn". If I process several files at a time, I only get this one file, so the naming seems to be wrong. How does the line have to read to get correct file names?

 

[arno]

Hi Thorsten,

You are working with landclass autogen I think if I see the names. Until now I have only tested with photorealistic autogen files, I think that explains why the location (name) is to correct. Let me check that.

 

[arno]

Hi Thorsten,

I fixed the bug, so in the development release of tomorrow it should work fine.

 

[Horst18519]

Great, thanks!
