GenerateChunkFileFromRaw16 problems w/latest

Having a bit of a problem right now and wondering if anyone has some advice.

I had been experimenting with the prebuilt starter.fps build/kit for TSE doing some tests including building (and using) some Atlas terrain. I did a fresh build today from source and ran it using my dataset, and get this error now...

ChunkGeomInfo invalid min/max!

So I thought maybe that the starter.fps tse.exe perhaps was built using an older release and chu file format had changed, so I tried to rebuild my chunk files. Doing that, I now get...

AtlasMesher::write Collision - empty bin, crap!

Crap! is right, suggestions?

Ha ha, that error message gave me a great laugh to start the day. There are a few bits of business software out there with similar messages that I forgot to remove after dev. Tee hee. Nothing changes.

Errors you mentions come from too high terrain level difference (I think). I Have these errors when terrain slope is very very high (for example from -1000 to +3000 between 2 dots). But It might be other things. I hope this answer your question.
