Creating BGl with BGLC

[Guest Grunt]

I placed some effects with the BGL Placer application in Effects SDK and the resulting file that it created was an Excel comma seperated data file. I dragged this to the BGLC to compile a BGL but get nothing.Is the BGL placer supposed to create an Excel file? It seems to me it should probably create a simple text file. Also, will the BGL be created inb the same folder as the BGLC application?tanks in advance for any suggestions or info!

Yes, it creates a file that ends on csv. This means that you can also make your source files in Excel (very usefull if you have a load of objects).When I drop it onto BGLC or I use the DOS prompt to compile it, I get a BGL file in the folder where BGLC also is (my source file was in that same folder btw).Hope this helps you,ArnoMember NL2000 Teamhttp://home.wanadoo.nl/arno.gerretsen

OK, that is how I thought it was supposed to work, but it doesn't make a bgl for me. I even tried tagging the BGLC with Win98 compatibility (I'm running XP pro)...no dice.How do I use the DOS prompt?http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/dcforum/Us...cdf6182b41d.jpg Great Lakes Express VA - The Midwest's regional and feeder airlinehttp://www.voyagerairlines.com/gle/index.html

In XP it is called Command Prompt, you can find it in the start menu under Accessories.ArnoMember NL2000 Teamhttp://home.wanadoo.nl/arno.gerretsenPS. I am running XP too and can just drop it onto the exe if I want

OK, I got it fixed. I deleted it and then redownloaded it and it works now how it is supposed to. I guess it was a bad install!http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/dcforum/Us...cdf6182b41d.jpg Great Lakes Express VA - The Midwest's regional and feeder airlinehttp://www.voyagerairlines.com/gle/index.html
