L3DT Users' Community

Hello, have a prob I need solved.
When I try to generate a 10240x10240 hf from my design map L3DT 2.4 RC1 spits out these errors in an infinite loop during the mosaic inflation step:

CMosaicMap::SaveSubMap_FI error
- scale not unified for HF

CMosaicMap::SaveSubMap error
- call to format-specific SaveSubMap failed

CMapGroup::HF_InflateMosaic error
- Get/Set pixel failed in copy stage

CMapGroup::HF_HybridMethod_Mosaic error:
An operation has failed

I have no idea what the scale not unified means as I've tried importing the design map in both 1024x1024 and 10240x10240 size and both give the same result. I'm using 512 tiles for the mosaic by the way.

This only happens when I use mosaics, which I have to as L3DT wont let me use RAM even though I have more available than it claims is required for the operation. For the record I have 1 gig ram.

I do not get this error in 2.3D, doing the operation in that version works just fine.

Hi Raoul,

Thank-you for the bug-report. It looks like L3DT is attempting to save the heightfield in a file format that it should not be using. To fix this:

1) Open 'file->preferences'.
2) Select 'Heightfield->HFF (L3DT)'.
3) Press the 'Use format' and 'Make default' buttons.
4) Click 'OK', and try to generate the heightfield again.

For the final v2.4 I'll add an extra check to make sure the formats are OK before you run the calculation.

Cheers,
Aaron.

Good day.
On pressing "Operations->Heightfields->Generate map" I have errors too.

Hot time on work, need fix, please!

P.S. I was import 8 bit .png image to DM. Litle correct DM and start operation.

Hi Leon,

Oops, I'm sorry for this bug too. I'll release an update later today.

Cheers,

Hi Leon,

I've released an updated dev build (v2.4.2.11) that includes the fix for this problem, which you can get from the downloads page (refer to reg. e-mail.)

Cheers,
Aaron.

All work! Thanks!
