Problem Mesh Problem

[Live4Him]

I am doing kev 33's spacecraft2 tutorial. I am trying to test the spacecraft in Orbiter, and whenever I do, I get a CTD and it tells me in the log that it can't find: ./Meshes/.msh It's really frusturating, because I have the mesh in the right place, it just can't seem to find it. Any suggestions?

I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God ~Jesus

As far as i know (i had the same problem before), this problem is about mesh file location. Check again, please.

And, if it possible, write here a piece of config file, where the mesh is referred, and a true mesh file adress.

//sorry for lame english. Hope you'll understand me.

Any chance of you showing us your .ini file that'll help us find the problem?, and you might want to try using Spacecraft3 (ar81 does some amazing tutorials for it) it's much more advance and newer than Spacecraft2.
and to Orbiter-Forum !

Here is the part of the ini. file that defines the spacecraft:
[CONFIG]
MESHNAME="Simple-Craft"
SIZE=25
EMPTY_MASS=10000
FUEL_MASS=20000
MAIN_THRUST=6e5
RETRO_THRUST=3e5
ATTITUDE_THRUST=6e5
ISP=50000
TRIM=0.05
PMI=(15.5,22.1,7.7)
CW_Z_POS=0.09
CW_Z_NEG=0.09
CW_X=2.
CW_Y=1.4
CROSS_SECTION=(53.0,186.9,25.9)
COG=2.47
PITCH_MOMENT_SCALE=0.00005
BANK_MOMENT_SCALE=0.00005
ROT_DRAG=(1.5,1.5,1.5)
WING_ASPECT=0.7
WING_EFFECTIVENESS=2.5
LAND_PT1=(0,-1.1,9)
LAND_PT2=(-4,-1.95,-5)
LAND_PT3=(4,-1.95,-5)
VISIBLE=1
CAMERA=(0,1.22,5.4)
MAIN_PSTREAM1=engine
I also tried changing the Mesh name to: Orbiter/Meshes/Simple-Craft. I got the same thing. Oh, and thanks for all your help! I'll be praying for you all.

Also, show us your Orbiter log and the scenario file, some times the problem is not the addon, but how you are using it.

//sorry for lame english. Hope you'll understand me.

Your English is fine, don't sweat it.

 

[garyw]

do you have a mesh in the meshes directory called "simple-craft.msh"

Can you please post your scenario file? I'd suggest wrapping it in CODE /CODE tags for readability.

for example

Here is my "mesh testing stuff", for example. Hope it will help you.

Mesh is placed in Orbiter\Meshes\spacecraft, filename is test.msh

test.ini file (placed in Orbiter\config\spacecraft):

[CONFIG]
MESHNAME="spacecraft\test"
SIZE=6
EMPTY_MASS=8000
PMI=(7.7,7.7,2.3)
COG=2.0

//No fuel, engines, etc. Just a mesh test after compilation.

And a piece of test.scn

test:Spacecraft\Spacecraft3
  STATUS Landed Earth
  POS -80.6797790 28.5998560
  HEADING 330.01
  NAVFREQ 94 481
  RCS 1
  CTRL_SURFACE 1
  CONFIGURATION 1
  CURRENT_PAYLOAD 0
END

Result will look like this:

Your English is fine, don't sweat it.

It may be fine, but it's still intuitive. I just don't know how it should be, main criteria is "sounds good" or "sounds bad". Sometimes it works, but my english teacher would commit suicide if she read it.

Here is the scenario file:

Also, I have Simple-Craft.msh in that directory, but it still cannot seem to find it.

Try creating this file in your "config/Vessels" directory:

Meshname = Simple-Craft
Mass = 1e1

call it "MyMesh.cfg" or something and add it to your scenario, that'll help you see if the mesh itself is causing the crash, and do you mind using the "code" tags around your scenario and .ini files? it makes them much easier to read.

mc_, your English is fine, thanks for your help!

Here is the scenario file:
//skipped

Simple-Craft:Spacecraft\[B]Spacecraft2[/B][/quote]

Maybe, Spacecraft3? #2 is a very old version...

I inserted MyMesh.cfg into the main orbiter directory and it gave me a CTD. I'm not sure what the deal is!:thumbsdown:
