• 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.

Join several mdl files to one

Is there a possebility to join for example 3 mdl files in 1?
in former times there excist a "link Tool" for bgl.
But maybe a xml file can be compiled with 3 o more mdl inside?
Thanks
 
mdl files are usually placed inside a bgl library file - there can be many objects in one file. BGLCOMP is used to do this with a suitable xml source file.

If you mean actually joining two objects together by combining the mdl files then I do not think that is possible
 
I know, but I want to place several Object with one GUID ID...
I think Jörg has the same problem with his windsock?
 
Hi Christophe,

No, that is not very easy to do. Of course you could merge the ASM source files of all objects to get one new object, but that is a little more difficult than a simple copy-paste action.

The link tools for BGL files you mention don't do this either, they just combine the BGL files together, but each objects keeps its own Area and RefPoint.

For the windsock you mentioned, I am looking at a few to make one MDL file out of it at the moment.
 
OK, no possebility to join mdl,
what possebility do I have to include more than one asm file?

How can I include
LOD_0L label BGLCODE
include D:\CR-Software_Projekte\_ASM\_temp_1.asm
LOD_1L label BGLCODE
include D:\CR-Software_Projekte\_ASM\_temp_2.asm
Click to expand...

This gets an BGLC ERROR...

Does somebody have experience with this?
 
Hi Christoph,

I am not sure if that works. With the old Fs2002 ASM format it worked fine, but I am not sure if you can have multiple sections in the RIFF format with the same name. What kind of errors do you get?

But is it not possible for you to merge those objects in the tool you designed them with? That would be the easy way.
 
OK, that should work, but is more complecated for tweaking:(
For this I that I try to include al files at the end

I get an error: BGLC ERROR
and no mdl is created...

Who can I contact for BGLC_9.exe errors?
 
I guess you can contact nobody for that. BGLC_9 is a new version of BGLC made by Rhumbaflappy with information extracted from the latest MakeMDL version. But the tool is not maintained by anyone.

Are you sure that you have no other error message? This message doesn't tell you anything.

No other message. You can try yourself by inserting 2 Times the same asm file.
So I have to search further...:scratchch
 
I don't get the same error as you do. I only get errors for symbol redefinitions, but that is logical if I include the same file twice :).
 
OK, I got that error as well. But it was caused by some commands still refering to the old labels (the ones I renamed). Once I changed that all to the new label names, the MDL file compiles fine.

But the bad news is that it does not work. When I load this test MDL in Fs2004 I only see the object in the last ASM file, not of both files.
