Topic: My Makeobj refuses to generate pak files

[midoritetori]

 Hello. I want to ask an error on makeobj-experimental. I don't know my subject is appropriate for this board so let me know if it isn't.

 I ported a flower package (http://japanese.simutrans.com/index.php?Addon128Japan%2FOthers#etc) to Simutrans-extended as the package is not intended for it. I executed the following command:
makeobj pak flower.pak .\flower\flower.dat
and I fronted the following error:
Warning: while loading PNG:     flower_garden_1.png: No such file or directory
ERROR: image_writer_t:  cannot open flower_garden_1.png
The problem is I acutally had a png file. I changed and checked the name of image files several times but the issue is not solved.
As a test, I tried to make a pak file from a city building data in Britain128, and it also failed. I guessed there might be a permission issue on files, but I have no idea how to proceed it.

 I am working on Windows 10 (educational, 64bit) and the link at the last line is the flower data I have used. The creator of the original data allowed any modification and upload, so I think linking it has no copyright issue.

 Thanks for any help.

Hi midoritetori!

It is good to meet you. 

I am able to compile the flower package using the following command:

Code: [Select]

makeobj-extended pak128 flower
I think that the makeobj-extended.exe needs to be in the same directory as the .dat file and images.

I have not tested it in-game as my PC is busy with something else, but you can download the .pak file.

Hope that helps.

P.S.: makeobj-extended for Windows is here: http://bridgewater-brunel.me.uk/downloads/Makeobj-Extended.exe.

Hello, Matthew. Thanks for your suggestion. It works.
I think I have misunderstood how to use makeobj.

Have a nice day!
