MARKERS NOT SHOWING UP

[eyein12]

Ive been scratching my head at this for a while since its pretty trivial to do and Ive done it plenty of times yet the new marker set I created wont show up at all in the game. Ive done all the steps. am I missing something ?

I used pins in google earth and kept the name with no spaces and lower case only.
I used RW_tools convert directly to dcsv and saved in my routemarkers folder like the others.
I saved my places aply named signals as a .KML file

So whats missing?

thanks
Ian

Did you make sure you object linked your assets?

[eyein12]

what?

Sigh....if these kids nowadays could only type a coherent sentence or B read what they write and edit we might understand what they are talking about.

How hard was that to understand? Let me try again. Did you make sure you ticked your assets using the little blue box on the left hand side?

Ian,

First ensure that you have cleared your blueprint cache. Afterward, turn on markers in the editors, turn off, then on again. I've found that RW is kinda' screwy in the refresh dept.

tried all that right off the bat. its a deeper issue. like the >dcsv file that rw_tools converts the KML to doesn't have any coord in it at all. the old ones I did do when I opent them in excel.

so next...

Sounds like something went haywire with RW_Tools. It's been awhile since I created a marker file using RW_Tools, but I do remember RW_Tools offers more then one way of creating the file. Have you tried one of the other options under the Route Building Tools / Create Marker Files menu to create the marker file? If all options still fail, you many want to contact Mike. Which version of RW_Tools are you currently using?

using V4.0.73

and trying the other methods with RW_tools I get an error. so I wonder if its google earth. is there anything in the name im not supposed to have when naming a pin?

Ian, for my named markers I used underscores instead of spaces. Not sure if this might be a issue?

Here is an excerpt from my named.dscv file:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<cCSVArray xmlns:d="http://www.kuju.com/TnT/2003/Delta" d:version="1.0" d:id="1240024">
   <CSVItem>
      <cCSVItem d:id="319100012">
         <X d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000000000" d:precision="string">-80.15097849846033</X>
         <Y d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000000000" d:precision="string">40.49144424016093</Y>
         <Name d:type="cDeltaString">01)_Hassem_Road</Name>
      </cCSVItem>
      <cCSVItem d:id="319100024">
         <X d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000000000" d:precision="string">-80.15571371690473</X>
         <Y d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000000000" d:precision="string">40.46636785754455</Y>
         <Name d:type="cDeltaString">02)_Beaver_Grade_Road</Name>
      </cCSVItem>


Also does your name.bin file point to the correct named.dcsv file? Example:

Code: Select all

         <NamedGPSMarkersFile>
            <cCSVContainer>
               <CsvFile d:type="cDeltaString">MyFolder\Development\RouteMarkers\MyRoute Named</CsvFile>
            </cCSVContainer>
         </NamedGPSMarkersFile>

yeah the bin point to the right path.

and all my name pins don't have spaces to begin with. theyre just 1 word
