Atlas

[Kailingkazak]

hi guys
i want to install the atlas. i downloaded it, and then i tried to understand the wiki (sorry fahim...) i didn't understand much. first question:
do i have to press enter after each line or only at the end?
second question:
when i enter
the command "Map" they say that map isnt a command and that it doesnt work... what do i have to do?
thanks a lot

The command "map" only works if your current directory is wherever Atlas is installed to, which should be c:\Program Files\FlightGear\bin\win32\ or something like that (obviously I'm giving you the Windows version instead of the Linux version)... hopefully that helps you some...

yes, you have to press enter after each line......
But i think it works on windows only....
hope that helps

that's what i did. i have windows, pressed enter after each line and it said "map" wasn't an intern or an extern command... and merp, what do you mean with

the directory i indicated is the directory where flightgear is installed, which is what was told in the wiki.

did u type

Code: Select all

cd C:\Program Files\FlightGear\bin\win32

before all the lines....i think thats where ur stuck
that line wasn't clearly visible before...i edited the page now.
Hope this helps!!!

i did everything, each time i pressed enter after each line and nothing happened,only the time i enter the last line with

map --headless --size=256 --atlas=C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Atlas

they say it isn't an internal or an external command, or a programm... what do i have to do???

try replacing all program files with Progra~1.

And also check whether the atlas and map executables are there in C:\Program Files\FlightGear\bin\win32 ....or ur directory in which fgfs exists...


i tried it again and it worked for me......

hope that helps

i hve the flightgear not on C:\ but on D:\ so i can't have the problem with program files... and for

And also check whether the atlas and map executables are there in C:\Program Files\FlightGear\bin\win32 ....or ur directory in which fgfs exists...

yes they are, i also just saw that i had forgotten to copy

Next copy the data files seperately...don't copy the folders...copy each file and place it in the respective sub-directory.

but it still doesn't work. i'm quite lost...

The only thing i can suggest u is u go for the default install...then get me screenshots of the following folders/lines:

Flightgear/bin/win32

Flightgear/data

A screenshot after each line of typing the code(take screenshot before u press enter)

Finally, the error, (if any)

Hi guys
I've also been trying to create maps from the scenery files, but its not working. These are the errors I'm getting:

Written 'c:\progra~1\flightgear\data\atlas/e078n13.png'
WARNING: fntLoadTXF: Failed to open 'C:\FlightGear\data/Fonts/helvetica_medium.t
xf' for reading.
Could not read palette from file "C:\FlightGear\data/AtlasPalette".
No palette loaded.
Written 'c:\progra~1\flightgear\data\atlas/e076n11.png'

Though the .png files have been created, they are only black squares. The size of the squares vary according the --size=xx parameter.

so here are the screenshots, in french... so good luck...







many thanks Kailingkazak

dear Kailingkazak
the "map" command has to be given from within the flightgear/bin/win32 folder. This folder must contain the map.exe and atlas.exe files.

OK, got it finally. I extracted the "AtlasPalette" file from the "Atlas-0.3.0.tar.gz" archive and placed it in the flightgear\data folder. The maps have been created perfectly.
