Hi Jibril, Why are you running fgfs-tools-client? I have never tried it!
As I understand it, this is part of the set ./fgfs-master ./fgfs-tools-client ./fgfs-tools-server You would ONLY use these if you were trying to generate the WHOLE WORLD of scenery... and even then _ONLY_ if you have ALL the world data chopped, arranged, arrayed, setup... NOT AN EASY TASK ;=() If you are just trying to generate some small region, your own area, then you would use the following tools - IN THIS ORDER... Stage 1: get elevations data ============================ Tools: demchop, maybe raw2ascii, and depending on the 'elevation' data - hgtchop, srtmchop, shape-decode, ... then terrafit, or terrafit.py, which uses terra... Stage 2: generate airports ========================== Tool: genapts Needs apt.dat[.gz] from the base fgfs data, AND the above 'elevation' data arranged into <index>.arr.gz and <index>.fit.gz, in the appropriate <work>/DEM-USGS-3/<chunk>/<1x1> folders... or other very specific folders. Run $ genapts --help to see the list... Stage 3: get land use, especially 'Default' ========================================== Tool: tgvpf on VMAP0 data, or use files downloaded from map server for your area... This will create folders like - <work>/Freeways, LandMass, Rivers, Towns, Crops, Forest, Lakes, PolarIce, Railroads, Roads etc, etc, etc... Stage 4: building some new scenery ================================== Tool: fgfs-construct This tool takes ALL the information generated by stages 1 to 3, and constructs a bit of new scenery. It must be passed just about ALL the <work> folders from Stages 1, 2 and 3. READ :- 1. Older reference http://www.terragear.org/docs/scenery-tutorial/fg-scenery-tutorial.html 2. More recent http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Using_the_Custom_Scenery_TerraGear_Toolset and there are several other scattered references, including some README files that are in the source. So, no idea why fgfs-tools-client crashes, but it is NOT used to generate a small region of scenery. If you have run both makefg and maketg, then you can try :- http://geoffair.net/tmp/makeCYYT in the SAME folder as you ran makefg, and maketg, and it will build a little NewFoundLand scenery, if you have VMAP0 installed in - "$HOME/vmap0/v0noa/vmaplv0" Or can be a template of what needs to be done to build some scenery... Then you can view your NEW scenery in fgfs... Hope this helps, and HAVE FUN ;=)) Regards, Geoff.
