• 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.

Hi,

I've done some objects for FSX. They were converted to XML using X2XML and furthermore compiled to a bgl file.
They are placed within the FSX\AddonScenery folder.
How do I get them acessed and placed with SBuilderX ?

Regards,

Matthias
 
Hello,

You need to create a library BGL file with your objects and that file should be placed in the SCENERY folder. Then you need to edit OBJECTS.TXT so that it includes references to your ojects. This file exists in the ../SBuilderX/LibObjects folder. Inside this folder you can place pictures of your objects.

You can create the library BGL please with Arno's Libray Creator tool found in this site.

In order to edit OBJECTS.TXT open it and read it. This is what you get:

Code: 
;     This file should only be used with:

;     SBuilderX 3.04 or later
;     ***********************

; Lines started by ; are comments and are ignored
; Lines enclosed in [] are category designators.
; You can have more objects references in secondary files
; using the include directive in the "objects.txt" file. 
; The secondary files should exist in the SBuilder/LibObjects/
; folder and they are processed after the processing of
; the primary - "objects.txt" - file. 

; You can enter your objects in any of thefollowing 3 forms:

; 6dc7e21e4f0c4d7395488dac102499a1 0 38 14 1 ag_barn
; 6dc7e21e4f0c4d7395488dac102499a1 1 38 14 1 ag_barn
; {6dc7e21e-4d73-4f0c-ac8d-4895a1992410} 2 38 15 1 ag_barn

; In the 1st case the object is placed using FS8 techniques
; and you can control some extra visibility parameters. In the
; 2nd case it will be placed via SCASM exactly in the same way
; as BGLComp from the FS2004 SDK. In the 3rd case the object
; be placed with FSX' BGLComp.

; unused objects should be disabled:

; include=obj_old_FS200.txt
; include=obj_combatfs.txt
; include=obj_not_found.txt
; include=obj_aso_props.txt
