Can't gather project

[N-drju]

I can't gather project and its assets. No matter what. Here's what it looks like. Not a single piece of information on what went wrong...



"Problem gathering project". Very informative.

Also a log. But likewise, it does not contain anything of note.

Gathering report.txt

Solved - It's the case-sensitive filename that is at fault.

I've seen someone else had this problem about a year ago. It's high time to do something about it.

Thanks for the report, we are now tracking this in our bug database.

Thanks. This is a real nuisance, because the names of XFrog texture images are also case-sensitive and hard-coded in a way that you cannot change a small "l" into an upper case "L".

The only solution is to change the filename into something entirely different. But in this case, if you put this model into any other project, you will get a "file not found" error and will have to find and assign a renamed file manually.

To be clear, as far as we're aware the main file load functions in Terragen should all transparently handle case differences (Windows handles this, I believe). The Export Gathered Project function in particular does seem more picky about case sensitivity, and that's the bug we'd look at resolving.

Can you give an example of these Xfrog filenames that have this problem?

[N-drju]

In my case it was the Grand Fir.

Two texture files have caused this problem - "Cl02bark" and "Cl02fruit".

I don't remember if these are exact names, but you'll find it. In any case, the second letter "L" is different in the object compared to what is displayed in the project gathering window.

As I said before, what is really strange though is that I am unable to change this single letter! It just reverts to the original case. Can you reproduce that as well?

So completely renaming the file is the only way in which you can gather a project containing such problematic filenames...

Yes, this works fine. No question about that.

Thank you. That will help us understand the full extent of the problem.

Renaming a file in Windows, if the only change is a change of case then some versions of Windows ignore the change. Is that what you meant, or is there a problem renaming the file reference in Terragen?

[N-drju]

Windows renaming. Ok, that's worth knowing too.
