Same here, though I too has this problem:

The same command works in Launcher :-) you must specify the full path to terramaster.jar

java -jar /the/full/path/to/terramaster.jar

and also the work path

/the/full/path/to

Tried this:
java -jar /home/paul/Downloads/TerraMaster_r32/terramaster.jar

This:
/usr/bin/java -jar /home/paul/Downloads/TerraMaster_r32/terramaster.jar

This (works in terminal):
cd Downloads/TerraMaster_32 && java -jar terramaster.jar

This:
home/paul/Downloads/TerraMaster_32 && java -jar terramaster.jar

and several variations but no luck. I think the problem is that if I open the folder TerraMaster_r32 & click terramaster.jar it doesn't start the prog (as Read Me suggests it might do), it just opens & lists its files.

"You could probably make a shell script that starts it for you." I could if I knew how! Something else to learn...................

do you know how to make a new launcher entry?

This will work:
Code: Select all
cd /home/paul/Downloads/TerraMaster_32 && java -jar terramaster.jar


If you copy n paste the above into a file, eg /home/paul/startTM, and then give it execute permissions, it turns into a shell script. :-) click to run.

Thanks, that works (or it would have done if you hadn't missed out the "r" in TerraMaster_r32)! Only problem now is, as noted by others, that sometimes the terminal fires up but the prog itself doesn't, only solution seems to be to delete & re-extract the folder.

Found a bug report on the wiki page (page diff): :roll:

"It can happen that if you try to sync a tile with no airports TerraMaster will fail to run the next time you open it. Keep a copy of the terramaster.properties file and, when that happens, copy it over the one in the folder where you placed the TerraMaster files. You will have to click the "gear" icon again to specify the path to the Terrasync folder. You can go to TerraMaster Issues and check the Status of Issue 2 to see if it is fixed. "

It also seems like the poster sometimes has problems syncing.

However neither of this happens to me. :)

By the way, I have just updated the wiki page.

oh dear. i will have to edit the wiki again -- TerraMaster is NOT a front-end for TerraSync.

That bug is interesting -- will try and reproduce it here.

No worries. I'll fix that ASAP. I was not aware that TerraMaster wasn't a front-end when I wrote the article.

EDIT: Fixed.


While I'm at it, the the editor who wrote about the bug also wrote:
Don't forget that this is just a front-end for Terrasync, and the contents of /terrasyn/Models will have to be coped to $FG_ROOT/Models for them to be visible.

That can't be true, can it? How would then TerraSync get new models?

Terrasync syncs Airports/ Models/ Objects/ and Terrain/ directories (cf /code.google.com/p/terrascenery/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fdata%2FScenery ).
Of course, for instance the Models directory is distinct from the Models/ shipped with every FG version. We'll say the TS one is the latest version, it nearly gets one (or more) shared models each day, while the one shipped with every FG version is synced, but then it's only every 6 months.

A bug has recently been found. If the TerraSync directory has been deleted, TerraMaster will not create a ../TerraSync/Models directory and no models will be downloaded until TerraSync has been used once so that the directory has been created. Before that only objects (the position of the models) and terrain will be downloaded.

Post with excerpt of the posts describing both bug and workaround: Re: Maintain your local Scenery via TerraSync.
Bug report: Issue 3: No models added if there is no ../TerraSync/Models directory.

Maybe you encountered this bug (solution in the quote)?
