BUG Report for greenwalls v6.0.3 preset "Grape Ivy | XY "
« on: November 26, 2020, 12:22:33 PM »
Hi!
I noticed that there is a bug in the "Grape Ivy | XY " template.
When trying to use this template you get an error that the object can't be found, but it lists the object description "A plant from the genus... " as object name.
Looking into the in the index.xml file of the vertical forests the contents of <description> and <object> are switched for the  "Grape Ivy | XY " template, which creates the error above.
I already tried redownloading the template but the error persists so I think nobody else noticed yet.

So to fix this in the index.xml of the vertical templates
line 106-116 should be this:
   <item class="maxobject">
      <name lang="english">Grape Ivy | XY </name>
      <name lang="latin">Grape Ivy | XY </name>
      <family/>
      <description>A plant from the genus lianas (woody vines) in the grape family. The majority are to be found in the tropics. This preset uses the XY axes of the Forest Object for distribution.</description>
      <bitmap>grapeIvy.jpg</bitmap>
      <maxfile>objects\_fp_greenWall1.max</maxfile>
      <object>fp_greenwall_surface_distribution</object>
      <matlib>matlibs\fp_green_wall_$(RENDERER).mat</matlib>
      <available>PRO</available>
   </item>

Manually changing the index.xml section to the above will make the template work.
Please fix and update this for all users.
Cheers
Christian

No Problem
 Just noticed the contents of object was also wrong it should be "fp_greenwall_xy_grape_ivy" of course.
correct xml section is below
   <item class="maxobject">
      <name lang="english">Grape Ivy | XY </name>
      <name lang="latin">Grape Ivy | XY </name>
      <family/>
      <description>A plant from the genus lianas (woody vines) in the grape family. The majority are to be found in the tropics. This preset uses the XY axes of the Forest Object for distribution.</description>
      <bitmap>grapeIvy.jpg</bitmap>
      <maxfile>objects\_fp_greenWall1.max</maxfile>
      <object>fp_greenwall_xy_grape_ivy</object>
      <matlib>matlibs\fp_green_wall_$(RENDERER).mat</matlib>
      <available>PRO</available>
   </item>

Maybe the code was fixed, not sure, but I'm still having a problem 2 years later with v7.3.1.

My issue is a missing file, _fp_Greenwall1.max, I ran a search for such a file on all hard drives and it can't be found. 
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Vertical pack and still have the issue!
Image attached with error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It should be fixed, but Installing new versions of FP may not have also updated the library. I would recommend uninstalling the existing library and then re-installing it via update manager. To uninstall a library, click on the Information icon and select Uninstall.



I hope that helps,

Paul

Thanks for your response Paul!

Just to recap the missing file I did discover it's location and it does exist.

Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't fix the issue, however, opening the index.xml revealed the issue from above from the original thread creator.

So, editing the xml file fixed this problem!
