Rami's mission & scenery thread

RJ or another .dp expert, I need some help...
Hey guys,
I'm having an unusual problem, and need some help. In Tobob's LaRochelle scenery, there is a scenery object called "tb_warf." When I'm using this object at Bordeaux, because space is tight, it is not generating a .cdp file when I try to fly a mission to check its placement. Because no .cdp file is generated, the mission will not load. If I remove that piece, the scenery loads fine.
This is the scenery package: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=45&id=4071
Does anyone know what the problem is, and/or how to fix it? :isadizzy:

Wish I could help Rami, but it's beyond me.
It seems to be something related to the dp. It has 12 boxes created under the [BOXES] section. But in the [BOXMAP] section boxes 2 through 5 have no boxmap asigned.

Good morning,
And here is Bordeaux. There are two main concentrations of GSL scenery...just north of the city, where I chose to locate the U-boat pens, and just south of the heart of the city, where I chose to locate the commercial port. Also included are two road bridges over the river and a rail bridge.

FYI
These are great additions to your original Ports, Rami. All of them are really excellent. My favorite is Reykjavik. But, I ran into a funny thing when I loaded in the new JHS Norway in order to have an airfield in Iceland to fly in and out of. When I loaded the Norway GSL, it wiped out the Ports GSL. I played around with it to make sure and every time I loaded the Norway GSL after the Ports GSL, boom.....your Ports were gone. The Scenery Library adds in JHS Norway didn't have any adverse affect one way or the other.
I would have just left it at that and dispensed with loading up the JHS Norway GSL since the airfield at Reykjavik was adequate for my needs without the GSL, but I found that Kefalvik airfield was sorely lacking without Achim's GSL. So, with nothing to lose , I reversed the order of installation, Norway first (both GSL and Scenery Library) and then Ports second. That seemed to cure it. Now both GSLs are showing up.
I don't know if all this makes any since; it could be just me. It's also way past my bedtime and I'm seeing double so that might be the problem too.

Worthless,
(Smacking head) I forgot to mention that! I always do in a campaign package, but I forgot in this one. Because in certain cases (Brest, Bordeaux, Reykjavik, Bodoe, etc.) the GSL scenery is close to Achim's bases, I include the airfield layout as part of the .gob work. I will have to specify that. You should always install Achim's bases first, then the GSL ports, which will add the second layer.

Thanks very much Rami - the scenery looks great. However, I can't see any sign of the U-Boat pens in Bordeaux (all the other GSL scenery is there).
Here's a seaplane AFD file for Lorient to save flying over from Vannes. For those who want extra realism, Frédéric Picci (AVSIM) made the Port Louis citadel at the entrance of the harbour.

Kevin,
Take a closer look at these pics. I used the lower-profile type used in tobob's La Rochelle scenery by Robert John, because I was working in a extremely confined space. I left the Shift-Z coordinates up so you know where to look, and I also used different, more militaristic buildings than I typically use in a civilian port.

Andrew,
The buildings and trees on the river bank are all there but none of the infrastructure in the river is showing up. These are the gob's I have for Bordeaux in you Europe ports GSL: 25eff8, 260ff8 and 260ffa. There aren't any subpen files in them unless you've updated them since I downloaded them yesterday.
Thanks, Kevin

Kdriver,
This sim is really starting to give me the red a*s. :angryfir: You can see from Martin Wright's GSL editor that it IS included in the .gob file, but for some reason, even though I ran it through .gob check and tested it ELEVEN times, the bunker, warf, and other object, as well as four bunkers and three warehouses, do not show up.
I think this might be .dp file related, but I'll have to defer to Achim and see if he can help me straighten this one out.

Kevin and others,
Nope, I think I have this one licked. Luckily, I saved the original layout files and was able to see what (only a small portion) got wiped out.
So this time, I just used the layouts and used Lindsay's empty.gsl file from his tutorial, renamed it, and used the built-in GSL editor. The next step was to then add that multi-gob GSL file to the main ports GSL file. You should have no problems with the package now, and I included the Bordeaux GSL file in this attachment. Just add it using the GSL tool, removing the first incarnation to wipe it clean.
