Mask Generation

[Pfhaota]

I'm trying to generate a mask showing the slopes on my map. However I have some problems

I'm using a heightmap which is not created in L3DT but based on DEMs. It's imported as a 16-bit greyscale png 1024*1024. First, it won't let me generate the mask directly, so I create a number of, for me unnecessary maps to allow a mask creation, more precisely water and attribute maps. This is a bit tiresome but ok. Then, when I try to create the mask it gives me the following error:

Code: Select all

calc_MaskGen_ProcessList error:
 - cannot get AM_in_HF setting


AM I guess is Attribute Map (which I have generated) and HF is HeightField which I have imported. However I don't understand the error message. Googling gives no result.

I'm using L3DT Standard 11.11, with Windows 7 64-bit as operating system

As I'm not sure whether this is an error on my side or a bug, I post it in this forum.

Hi Pfhaota,

I apologise for this bug, and thank you for the bug report. For the next dev build I have modified the mask generator to not require the water or attributes maps, and to calculate the AM_in_HF parameter when not stored in the project settings. I will post back here when it's available for download. Thanks again for reporting this bug!

Best regards,
Aaron.

Thanks for the help! I'll wait for a modified version then.

Hi Pfhaota,

The dev build is on the downloads page now. Please let me know if you find any further problems.

Best regards,
Aaron.
