Correct Method of Compiling & Running Documentation?

[noddynod443]

Hello, do you have some documentation I can closely follow for how to compile the tools via Lazarus and FreePascal, please? I tried compiling and running the de_packer/re_packer, but I get and error:

"Project rs_repack raised exception class 'EFCreateError' with message: Unable to create file "r:\rogue_data\DATA.DAT": The system cannot find the path specified."

At address 41CEA0.

Not really. Create a directory (for example "dat") next to rs_repack.exe, put the Data.dat and Data.hdr into it.
unpack with: rs_repack.exe u dat\
repack with: rs_repack.exe p dat\
Can't say what went wrong in your case. Is r: drive writable?

My apologies, it was was simple error. As a friend pointed out to me, after compiling, I needed to click "run parameters" and put a C: directory location containing the dat file.

EDIT: Ok with the help of a friend, I was able to figure out how.

No insult intended, but I must say for Star Wars Sake that "I find your lack of documentation disturbing." :)

Do you know, please what are the best links to download SDL2 and ImGui (through cimgui) as I am having .dll missing errors by those names when running the modelview and such. I just am not sure what is the best place to get those.

Well, some assembly required. PR-s welcome to improve the situation. This package should help with the dll-s: https://satd.sk/public/rerogue/terrain_viewer.zip

Thank You!

Btw, I see that besides a .obj file, there is also a .raw heightmap extracted by the hmp2obj tool. No matter what software I use, the .raw heightmap doesn't open in a legible normal looking heightmap. Do you know where or how I could extract the heightmap correctly, please? I then want to convert it to a .tga file.

[dpethes]

I don't think the raw file is of any use as it is right now. I think it's broken; I can take a look at fixing it, but no promises.

This thread helped me out a ton, I couldn't figure out what the error I was getting with repack was: "rs_repack [u|p] directory" I thought it was asking me for a destination directory, not source.

I'm trying to get the heightmaps to import into VTOL VR and make custom missions based on rogue squadron.

I was able to unpack the data files, but when I try to run the following I get an invalid filename error:

S:\Desktop\roguefiles>hmp2obj \dat\data\level\lv_0\hmp \dat\data\level\lv_0_TEXT \dat\data\level\lv_0_TEX
An unhandled exception occurred at $00000001000135B8:

$00007FFE27C026A1

If I rename lvl_0_TEX / TEXT as simply "TEX / TEXT" and put it in the same folder as the HMP it seems to work.

[dpethes]

Looks like an old version of hmp2obj and one of the paths you're passing is most likely wrong.

Couldn't find your contact info to send you what we did with your files:

So thanks for publishing your tools.

Looks like a fun project!
