I believe that is because the TDF files are in wrong format. The correct format has the " 0" in the end of the lines.

I tried to search our wiki and forum but didn't find any matches for it, probably because its so difficult to search " 0" from the pages. If anyone finds pages, please let me know.

Hi FoxThree.
I can not remember exactly each error message CATE produced for me in the past. But I guess your problem would be caused by file paths. There is some bug inside CATE. It handles "relative paths" in wrong way. Write "absolute path" to your tdf file inside your config.

Relative path means : ..\myfile\city.tdf
Absolute means: C:\cate\myfile\city.tdf

hope it helps

Luk
P.S. no offense, but do you play multiplayer with you callsign? It is nice callsign BTW, but... :wink:

Do you have "Vb6fr.dll" and "Comdlg32.ocx" files inside your CATE directory? Which version do you use?

I am quite sure I got the same report in the past. But I dont know in what situation. I can not remember how I solved it.

I guess you would take just one simple city polygon :
for example:
CITY 4 1167,1228 1168,1229 1168,1229 1168,1231 0
(there are just four points defined, no 4 is fine, zero is present)
Try to process this 1 row tdf file first.
We can debug if it is "source data" related or program related.
Restart CATE please. She is a beautifull but sometimes also hebetic girl.

Your config seems to be OK ( I suppose your path fits tdf file location).

I ment you would use very simple tdf file.
Just one row I mentioned. Nothing more. CATE will tile just very small area - one city. But we will see if the problem is in TDF.

So our test tdf is just one bugfree row, nothing more.

I try to delete 0 or replace wirh 1 ... and no change report error.. example :

CITY 4 1167,1228 1168,1229 1168,1229 1168,1231 0

but when i deleted ultimate two values ... example :

CITY 4 1167,1228 1168,1229 1168,1229 1168

is ok .. UPDATE FUNCTION work .. ! But i think is correct to delete two values from tdf ?
If yes .. how to delete in all tdf ultimate two values ? It's a big work.. there is an 551 row instead ... :?

Ok whatever i try to compress terrain.. and view in 3d world...
I hope to view citys..
