[Plugin] [CityGen] - Core [WIP] (0.1.3a) — 19 September 2009

[tug]

Hi Thom again.-

efectively, I use Skecthup 7 pro in a Dell Presicion M6400, 16 Gb ram and it crashes. The OS is Vista Ultimate 64bit.

I think In use the last version I found, but I can't find the latest one you just uploaded as you wrote today. Please can you explain me where can I download the latest version? and if you know how can I solve these problems to use it?

thanks

jann

All downloads are located at the bottom of the first post in the thread.

Ok, I see, it seems every updates will be always at this site... I'll try again and tell you the result in a while.

thanks

Yea - public releases are posted here. The Google Code site is for developers that want to join the project.

any result pics?

[thomthom]

The Core doesn't have any GUI - nor does it 'do' anything which the end user can see.
Check the modules for what they can do. So far I think it's just StreetGen available.

Yeah, its a pretty killer app we've built so far!

It's he thought that counts, ... right?

HI thom.-

Now it works perfectly. I found some incoveniences if you have instaled several plugins more at the same time: MODULOR, 1001bit and lightup you can't use CityGen, Sketchup crashed. Please review this post and check it. I'd tried for four days diferents combinations of configurations, and after all I'd put these plugins in another sketchup's instalation.

Good jod and wait for news for this nice application.

That's odd. Not sure why any of those would affect anything. Essentially make any difference between 0.4.x and 0.5.x.

Does any combination of these plugins crash - or is it with all of them?
Personally I have 1001bit and Modulor - both of which works fine on my system.

[tug]

I seem it's a combination of these plugins, I don't know why, but I'd been all the weekend try con find the right combination and after all i opted to install Modulor in Skecthup 6 and now all works. I mean it's lightup which is the main problem, couse is just when is reading the protection or key from this plugin when sktchup crashed after install citygen.

maybe there must be developed some application to purge and depure all the plugins to be installed at the same time.

best regards

[thomthom]

hm... LightUp is the only app I don't have. I could try to install the trial - but I'm short of time this whole week. Maybe give Adam a prod and see what he says.

[Jim]

as of the 19-sep update, are you still using the google code repo? I noticed there were no updates when I tried to pull after the announcement.

[thomthom]

This is from the repo. I just made an easy public download that was more up to date.

[Foun10Head-X]

Bookmark...

Had a tough time trying to put the program in it.

So, I'd look forward to updates.

Hi- This is an interesting project. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get all the files from both Core and Streetgen in the correct heirarchy in the plugins folder so I keep getting error messages. Is this a Mac problem?

[thomthom]

Depends on how you extracted it. Macs tend to create an extra folder when extreating - the files you need would be inside the first one.
(note - this depend on how you extracted it.)

[Pilou]

if you have instaled several plugins more at the same time: MODULOR,

Where can we find this plug "Modulor" ?

[thomthom]

[Pilou]

THX
It's not exactly the same name

[thomthom]

no ... but it's hard to juggle them eoueoue's...

[Pilou]

Does it possible with your plug to generate "streets" with no round Corners?

here 0.01 as corner radius (Why not 0 possible)
90° as Angle threshold


PS Are you interested by a little French translation of your Plug's UI?

[thomthom]

Does it possible with your plug to generate "streets" with no round Corners?

Set Angle Threshold to 180 degrees (or more).

PS Are you interested by a little French translation of your Plug's UI?

In the future, yes. But as it is now - this plugin is experimental and many things will change. (When I get around to work on it again.)

[Pilou]

Not possible to average for have an angle more straight?
Because after there are some glitch when you make some functions with it

[Pilou]

In your last versions measures are not keeping from previous calculate in the dialog box

[thomthom]

As it is now - it does no error checking at all. But you're right - it's something that'd be nice if it did.

I'm still stumped as to where to put the plug-ins on CityGen and StreetGen. To keep my SU7 from crashing, I had to make a City_Gen folder and nothing comes up. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Footnote: When I put the city_gen.rb file in Plug-ins, after clicking in to SU7, I get a crash leading to a bug repot. If only I can find out what the problem is.

[Jim]

The plug-in is not really ready for use, but I made a Windows installer for the current version. See the Downloads tab:

Note: both the plugin and the installer should be considered experimental. Let me know if it works.
