• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Use this thread for feedback about CompileHelper.
 
Arno,
Did a quick test with bglcomp.exe. It works oke for me. Very handy tool.

Thanks,
Bert
 
doet nix

Ik heb mijn .xml bestand op de compilehelper gedropt en hij vraagt inderdaad om een pad maar dan geeft hij daarna een runtime error 339
en ontbreekt component comdag32.ocx,

geen idee groetjes Jan Karsten
 
Hallo Jan Karsten,

Just for other users who don't understand Dutch :). The problem is that CompileHelper gives a runtime error after dropping the file to compile on it.

Are you sure that the missing file is comdag32.ocx? I don't even have that file on my own PC :). I could be that you are missing the VB6 runtime files. Which OS are you using?

---

En voor de zekerheid ook nog maar even in het Nederlands :). Weet je zeker dat het missende bestand comdag32.ocx heet? Dat bestand heb ik namelijk helemaal niet op mijn PC staan. Ik vermoed dat je de standaard VB6 runtime bestanden mist. Welk OS gebruik je precies?
 
Thanks Arno for this tool. However now it's all about interpreting the error log

I tried to place a few effects with the following xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<FSData version="9.0" xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd">

<SceneryObject lat="N47 39.585" lon="W122 27.98" alt="0" pitch="0" bank="0" heading="341" altitudeIsAgl="TRUE" imageComplexity="DENSE">
<Effect effectName="fx_wake_4_medium_ships.fx" />
</SceneryObject>
</FSData>

I dropped the xml on CompileHelper.exe and got the following error messages:

INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR C1003: Failed to create MSXML object! (0x80040154)

Parsing document: D:\BACKUP\Projects\Work Folder\Seattle_Cargo_Wake_1.xml

ERROR C2470: Unrecoverable error parsing XML!
ERROR C2006: Parse failed (0x80004005)
ERROR C2003: Failed to process file: D:\BACKUP\Projects\Work Folder\Seattle_Cargo_Wake_1.xml


What on earth went wrong here? Thanks in advance for any help.

BTW Wormerveer? I live in Monnickendam, not far away is it ;)

Met vriendelijke groet,

Rob de Vries
 
Hi Rob,

That means you don't have MSXML installed. It is the MS XML parser used by BGLComp. You can download it from MS.
 
Are there any operating system limitations with this program? I am using Win 7 64 bit.
When I use it I get the configuration dialogue box. I set the path to Bglcomp but that is all that happens. If I close it and drag and drop a file onto it the config page opens again and still shows the path I set. The path is correct.
 
Hi,

Are you sure you set the complete path to the executable? The config form will show again if the path is not provided or not valid.
