Hi. I am currently starting out to build a new Route (I will later post a thread about that too). I need some advice on a problem that's like the following: I made a KML file with Earth where I outlined the route I want to build and with points of interests like passenger stations and freight sidings. Now I also did the work on the Lidar files as well as downloading the SRTM data. This is where my problem starts: 95% of the tiles to be generated are generated correctly. Just about 2-3 tiles do not generate like in the image below. The railway as also the drawn line in the KML file does go straight through it though. Then my first guess was that the distance between the two closest points in the KML might be too big, so I made another KML just with one point right next to the missing tiles. It actually seems to have been the problem, as now these tiles are generating, but now without any height data as it seems... I do not know how to continue now as I can't seem to find a workaround or solution for it... Would appreciate any help! Thanks in advance! Max
What command do you use to generate tiles? what does UE world composition shows you? have you tried saving the project?
I used the ts2ed.experimental.CreateSceneryAndLandscapeTilesFromKML command, tried 1, 2, 3 and 5 as parameters (with just the single-point KML file). What exactly do you mean by UE world composition? Yes I also tried saving and reopening the project and also restarted the editor. I maybe should have said that I already did the project once but had to reset my PC which means this is already my second project attempt and the error was in the first try too.
https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/world-composition-in-unreal-engine That’s the window that shows the whole world, all tiles. Again, do you have the line or do you have only points. Afaik, you have to have the line in your KML. Also, does your low res dem file covers this area? Idk how the generate command works and whether it generates flat tiles for the areas that are not covered by dem or simply skips these tiles.
My original KML file has all point and also the whole lines along the railway like stated above: Yeah there are Tiles in there but they're just without the height data, yet the SRTM/DEM files are covering everything besides these 4 missing tiles. As you can see all tiles around it have been generated correctly. But as the project is still at the very beginning i might just restart as well, maybe then it works... I'll rework the KML file and see what happens. But regardless of that I really appreciate you helping me. I will post an update about it and we'll see.
So you answered your own question, and I saw the screenshot from another perspective. The command to generate tiles worked correctly and created tiles, but since your dem file doesn't have height information for these tiles they were created with 0 height. And I see it on the screenshot now - you have the tiles, but they are below other tiles. Try to apply lidar data on the tiles, most probably it'll fix the issue
Also I found the original issue that caused the missing of the tiles in the middle, it seems the KML file is corrupted and the line is cut and about 10km are missing, just found this out as I found out how to enable the lines in the editor. I am really thankful for your help! Have a nice day!
