Hi and again thank you very much HAL for the fast updates and the converter! About the converter: I had hoped it would transfer A12 prefab decals into A13 prefab decals, but it doesn't. I've tried with different saves of the prefab and checked with an old A12 installation if everything is in order before converting, still decals don't show up after the conversion. I've noticed there are some changes like a lot more damage values in A13, so my question is if I should just get on with it and start placing decals by hand again, or do you intend to maybe adjust the converter to change decals into A13 "code" also (if that's even possible)? I just want to know because I can wait if you intend to take a look, it's a loooooot of decals I'm looking at and took a lot of time to get them right, but I am also eager to work on my project again and atm it's on hold because of the loss of decals in A13.

Hi Hal about this line: in this prefab: "army_camp_03" Pls be careful to simply add it !!! - Pls check the code before if this is really true !!! IMO ITS A GAMEBUG !!! (its fact that the vanilla-prefabs xml's aren't cherished well and/or checked before release(s) !!!) I dont think TFP added a new township: "snow" - this wouldn't make much sense !!! (and this value: "snow" only appears in this single prefab (that they have overdone and renamed for A13 !!! u remember??? ) ) Mag

I agree about not adding it... because it just doesn't make sense; probably another rush job. however, [code] [COLOR="#FFD700"][/COLOR] [/code] *drops mic* Vote h0tr0d 2016 -- check please

I'm linking this here as I know HAL you are more active in this thread. It is related to a crash I am seeing in game after modifying the lights in some prefabs - this happens both in your editor and my post-processor.

Got a problem. Exporting a prefab from Alpha 13.6 Map, then importing it into a new map... the density is all messed up making a bunch of blocks invisible and there is no way to mass update the block density as that option is grayed out in your editor. any suggestions?

[QUOTE=StompyNZ;379548]I think Slaan was having this problem with the prefabs terrain all being skewed from where it was supposed to be but the non terrain blocks were fine. He might also have a duplicatable example of this issue.[/QUOTE] Apparently, exporting a claim to file doesn't properly save the density values of blocks correctly. Because of this, I normally save the configuration of block density values until after I am completely done using the export command.

I think I've narrowed down my problem to importing things I've exported from 13.6 or onwards. I'm still clutching straws tbh, I was telling stompy I was importing prefabs and extracting my city prefabs for my project as usual, it was one particular area once edited and exported, on reload (mixer) the seamless blocks were exactly 6 blocks west. It's hard to explain, I can give you the means to re-produce this specific issue, im not sure if the output log is useful, but is also available. I tested my hub over 30ish seeds, the only obvious difference between the area Im having trouble with and the previous area I was editing is possibly more or less empty air layers above the ground level, I'm wondering if exporting those wierd little voxel glitches you see floating around when its dropped a hub inside a hill or other terrain is causing it to corrupt or bug out? I'm just guessing now >.< it has me stumped. Im about to extract a different area so I'll let you know how that goes, I was quite careful to try and remove any little glitches i spotted with frames .

When I originally looked at the density stuff I exported the areas and re-imported but the slopes were slightly different. I never had completely missing/invalid densities but the gradient of the slope was definitely different. I triple checked the code and from what I can tell I'm exporting the value of the density on the right chunk at the right position but if you use the dm command and bring up the debug hud the values for the position in game don't match what's exported.

[Slaan]

well i still dont understand how i was able to edit and add so much stuff to other parts and literally past few days have nothing but trouble, but then again, I wont lie, I clip out so much terrain with roads and prefabs I'm amazed it's taken this long to hit a serious bump haha. I'll zip up a folder now and add a read-me for you outlining the steps, in basic form, loading a custom hub to see the area pre-bug then changing a prefab file name and re-loading the hub.

Cheers, Hal[/QUOTE] exporting using the ingame commands, bbb claim and bbb ex, inserting using bbb ip the weird thing is that the density for most blocks ends up being 127 or -128, and its random. like i had a little asphalt path and 2/3 of it pasted fine but 1/3 of it pasted invisible. what i ended up doing is just re-drawing over the layers with the same material set to 0 density, one by one. edit: as for mass update density, I like how you have the reset block damage and meta to 0, perhaps you could do something like that with density?

I used to have this working good. I did the manual update but then I hit launch game it just sits on the loading screen forver. Over 20 minutes. Tried it a few times and no joy. Any help would be aprreciated. This is for the current alpha version correct?
