Fatal: AtlasFile::CreateNew - unknown TOC type

by Jesse McKinney · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 07/01/2006 (10:56 pm) · 49 replies

Im on the final step of the Atlas 2 terrain creation, and keep getting the following fatal when I go to make my final atlas file

Fatal in in engine\atlas\core\atlasfile.cpp
AtlasFile::CreateNew - unknown TOC type

The commands I used to get to this step

1) atlasGenerateTextureTOCFromLargeJPEG("base/Data/Terrains/FrostBitePaintMap.jpg", 4, "base/Data/Terrains/FrostBiteNew.atlas")
2) importOldAtlasCHU("base/Data/Terrains/FrostBiteHeightMap.chu", "base/Data/Terrains/FrostBiteHeightMap.atlas") 
3) atlasGenerateUniqueTerrain("base/Data/Terrains/FrostBite.atlas", "base/Data/Terrains/FrostBiteHeightMap.atlas", "base/Data/Terrains/FrostBiteNew.atlas")

on the third command it crashes with the above fatal, here is the console dump

Looks like it cant write the terrain out to the final atlas file. Any help would be appreciated.

Note: the TOC Type for Atlas console log was something I added so we could see which TOC was coming back invalid.

Looks like the Config TOC isn't getting registered but all of the code looked in order, so :(

Associate Kyle Carter

Yup, looks like the config TOC is not being registered properly. Does atlasClassFactory.cpp have appropriate entries for Config TOCs in it? When it prints NULL, what class IS being referenced?

Torque Owner Jeremiah Fulbright

07/02/2006 (12:06 pm)

Let me make some changes to the source to log what class it is actually coming back with, at that point. We haven't touched atlasClassFactory for anything at all, so, lemme check this out

If you're not tracking this with the debugger you're wasting your time - probably by a factor of ten more than it would take to do it in the debugger.

Torque Owner Jeremiah Fulbright

07/02/2006 (12:26 pm)

Yep, about to begin testing it with the debugger, I just like to make Jessie do all of the work

Torque Owner Jeremiah Fulbright

07/02/2006 (1:55 pm)

Ran thru the debugger and getTOCName(AtlasTOC *toc) is showing that toc is AtlasResourceConfigTOC classed, but its still not casting to it properly...

Associate Kyle Carter

07/02/2006 (1:57 pm)

Can you post a dump of toc?

Torque Owner Jeremiah Fulbright

07/02/2006 (2:02 pm)

Yeppers:

-		toc	0x0199b578 {mAreConfigsLoaded=false }	AtlasTOC *
-		[AtlasResourceConfigTOC]	{mAreConfigsLoaded=false }	AtlasResourceConfigTOC
-		AtlasResourceTOC<AtlasResourceConfigStub>	{mLoadQueue={...} mVersion=4294967295 }	AtlasResourceTOC<AtlasResourceConfigStub>
+		AtlasBaseTOC<AtlasResourceConfigStub>	{mStubs=0x032acccc mStubCount=1 }	AtlasBaseTOC<AtlasResourceConfigStub>
+		mLoadQueue	{mElementCount=0 mArraySize=0 mArray=0x00000000 ...}	Vector<AtlasResourceConfigStub *>
		mVersion	4294967295	unsigned int

Well... that's very weird. Do you have RTTI turned on in the compile settings?

Torque Owner Jeremiah Fulbright

07/02/2006 (2:07 pm)

Yes it is on, that I see.. Does it need to be off? I don't recall it ever being set any differently, so not sure

Associate Kyle Carter

#11

07/02/2006 (2:08 pm)

It needs to be on. But as to why dynamic_cast<> wouldn't be succeeding when the debugger recognizes it as a given type, is not immediately obvious to me! :)

Torque Owner Jeremiah Fulbright

#12

07/02/2006 (2:20 pm)

Well, did a couple more things but nothing that was of interest. I am beginning to wonder if its related to VS2005 or possibly some other compiler setting that is causing some issues somewheres..

Associate Kyle Carter

07/02/2006 (4:27 pm)

If you find any leads, let me know. I don't know either what might be broken here - and if anyone else encounters this problem, I hope they post here. It might be some brokenness specific to your system/codebase.

Torque Owner Jeremiah Fulbright

#14

07/02/2006 (6:56 pm)

Yep, although we have no changes to Atlas side of things.. or even the renderer sides so not sure what would break it in codebase, especially since its obviously coming thru "okay" according to the debugger.. but need others to exhibit similiar/same problems first before can narrow it down

@Byte - I was just trying to create terrains and got the same error on the last step. Here is the console dump

Great! At least I know its not just us, so it would seem there could be an issue with Visual Studio 2005 and how the casting is failing...

Ben:

else if(dynamic_cast<AtlasResourceTOC<AtlasResourceConfigStub>*>(toc))

Is that a safe replacement for:

else if(dynamic_cast<AtlasResourceConfigTOC*>(toc))

I was able to get it to go on thru "properly" and did some other checking to make sure it wouldn't catch Geometry or Texture TOCs and it didn't seem to...

this is the end result

That is a safe & correct change (the dynamic_cast) and one I'm merging in. Will go out to CVS soonish.

... Whoa, I just checked my code and I have AtlasResourceConfigTOC there, not the other type. This is strange.

I got a bunch of "bad sentinel" errors when I tried to create an Atlas2 out of my (previously functional) Atlas1 files. One weird one was the JPG, which would die (bad sentinel) when I tried to convert with a Tree Depth of 3 (which is what I used for the TQT file) but it seemed to work with a Depth of 4.

I know this general description doesn't help very much. I'll try to post some details later.
