• 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.

Trouble with text2agnx

I'm trying to edit some landclass autogen using AGN Tools. I used agn2txt to get my AGN into txt format, but now when I try to recompile using txt2agnx, not all of my files get converted back to .agn format. Here's what my files look like:

Original AGN files, before conversion to txt:

The text of my batch file to convert the decompiled .txt files back to .agn:

txt2agnx 011b2an0.txt Texture
txt2agnx 011b2an1.txt Texture
txt2agnx 011b2an2.txt Texture
txt2agnx 011b2an3.txt Texture
txt2agnx 011b2an4.txt Texture
txt2agnx 011b2an5.txt Texture
txt2agnx 011b2an6.txt Texture
txt2agnx 011b2an7.txt Texture
txt2agnx 011b2an8.txt Texture
txt2agnx 011b2an9.txt Texture
txt2agnx 011b2ana.txt Texture
txt2agnx 011b2anb.txt Texture
txt2agnx 011b2anc.txt Texture
txt2agnx 011b2and.txt Texture
txt2agnx 011b2ane.txt Texture

And the new .agn files created by txt2agnx. As you can see, all agn files with a letter at the end have been omitted, and it appears that the one with a "0" at the end now has the "0" omitted:

Thanks,

Update:

I tried to find a work-around by renaming the ends of my txt files from 1-15 so there were no alphabetical letters at the ends, but the results were the same. I also tried renaming the '10' file to '16' to remove the zero on the end of it, but still txt2agnx converted the same 10 files, instead of the full 15. I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point...
 
Hi Scott,

I'll have a look. It might be I'm only checking for numbers now, I haven't seen letters before. Not sure what is going on with the zero.
 
Hi Scott,

I just had a look at the code. At the moment I expect the last number to be a digit, so that's why the letters don't work. I'll fix that as soon as I'm behind my FS pc again.

Do you know if there is a maximum to the value FS allows? Is it hexadecimal for example 0 till f? Or can we even get a z there?

Not sure why the zero didn't work, as that is a digit it should work.
 
Hi Arno, thanks for looking into it!

As far as I know, 16 is the maximum number of variants in an LC set, so that would take you from 0 to f. I'm not an expert though; I've asked Holger to take a look at it and we'll see what he says.

AGN for landclass is given the same name as the LC textures, which have a naming convention of 3 digits (from 000 to 360), followed by a letter, followed by a number (always 2 from what I can tell), followed by the season, and then the variant letter or number.

Hi,

Sounds like it is hexadecimal than. Makes sense from programmer point of view :). I'll try to fix it tomorrow, haven't been behind my pc tonight.
 
Hi Scott,

I have fixed it now. So if you grab the new version tomorrow it will work.

Be aware that you need to decompile with the new agn2txt as well. Your current TXT files won't compile back to AGN correctly with this new version.
