Trouble with modelviewer

skypickle · September 9, 2022

When I start modelviewer, I get these errors:

Anyway, modelviewer2 opened so I tried loading some edm files

I can open the regular DCS models fine but when I try to open the A4E I get a lot of errors in the textures window- many textures are missing

The same happens with all the other free mods in my saved games / mods/aircraft folder

I read somewhere on the net that I have to tell modelviewer where to find textures so I added these lines to the modelviewer autoexec.cfg

print("----------------------------------------------------------------")
print("scan for textures and liveries")
print("----------------------------------------------------------------")
scan_for_textures("C:/Users/Stefan/Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Mods")
scan_for_textures("C:/Users/Stefan/Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Liveries")
print("----------------------------------------------------------------")

Now it opens and crashes to desktop.

Stuck.

Thank you for your reply. I downloaded your autoexec.lua file

I changed 'Urbi' to 'Stefan' , saved, put it in the Config dir (backed up the original)

Now I get this error

The first error refers to a file in C:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft\ChinaAssetPack\Liveries\PLZ05\irgc

The description.lua is attached below.

The second error refers to a file in C:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\campaigns\MAD\Liveries\SA342M\RSCS M Gazelle

Its description.lua is also attached

should be scanning for liveries, not textures.

mount_vfs_liveries_path     ("Absolute path")

I usually just copy the A4E to my Coremods folder when I'm working on textures, that way the files are loaded by ModelViewer

I also noticed your autoexec.lua has the extra function

function scan_for_textures(path)

not found in the default.

I restarted the pc and used your autoexec.lua (with the appropriate 2 paths corrected)

and the errors with modelviewer are the same as using the default autoexec.lua.

But I still cannot load the livery tool and when I check the box to open it I get the error

ok thank you. But the errors above are in standard DCS modules which are already in the default locations

Edited September 10, 2022 by skypickle

skypickle · September 11, 2022

The autoexec.lua which I modified is located in C:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Config\ModelViewer

Which one is more correct:

autoexec1 or autoexec2 ?

autoexec1.lua autoexec2.lua

skypickle · September 11, 2022

Even if I use the modelviewer in a fresh DCS installation, I cannot load the livery tool. Is there supposed to be a window that lets me look at the different liveries on the plane?

36.6905 ERROR LIVERY_MANAGER Can't open livery 'RSCS'

BTW How do I clear the log window?

ok thank you. But the errors above are in standard DCS modules which are already in the default locations

The 2 SA342 Livery Errors are because the description files are not correctly formatted.
However that doesn't stop the window from opening, as I have it open and get the same errors.

Ok maybe I have to ask a simpler question, why does my livery tool not load? Thank you for trying to help. I realize that sounds like a stupid question but the log file as I posted it is somewhat opaque in this regard.

10 hours ago, Urbi said:

the autoexec.lua in the folder you specified above will be overwritten when you update ED. so it makes no sense to replace them there. completely delete the folder in saved games "edModelViewerTrunk". the next time you start the model viewer, this folder will be rewritten. configure it according to your needs. So check the weather and liveries. the tabs for this can be placed by dragging them to the right side. after that you can copy your first autoexec.lua created by me into the "edModelViewerTrunk".

edModelViewerTrunk

I dont have one of these. Is it a folder I have to create?

So I uninstalled the gazelle as well as the China Assets Pack-both of these had errors in modelviewer. Now modelviewer gives a lot fewer errors. I loaded up the F5E-3 model but still cannot get the livery tool to show.

These are the errors after I laod the F5E

These are the errors after I load the F18 model

Still no livery tool.

Event viewer in windows makes no mention of any modelviewer errors.

Something on this pc must be interfering w the livery tool window.
