Winged Foot West - issues - last chance I guess
Posted: September 16th, 2020, 11:09 pm
testing the course and it's getting hung up on the 'creating shadows' file @ 67%. Anyone know why this is happening? can't move on till I get this solved. been one problem after another today, I think my hard drive is crashing, laptop taking like 10min to boot up, of course it happens today on the eve of the US Open, my fault for waiting till the last minute I guess.
I did backup my course on a USB stick however, so good news there
UPdate - so, I have been able to plant about 5 trees and open successfully in a new version of Links 2k3 I bought of LC, so great news here! Im using my mom's old laptop with Windows 7, crazy it works. No issues at all so far with planting 2Ds and moving them around and turning views on/off.
my NEW problem is I've lost all my seam blends for some reason. looks like all my textures are there, did a mapping library not make it's way over? NO way am I going to remap all 400 some mappings for bunkers, fwys, fringes etc.
OK, I've tried everything the last 3 days to get this course to work, 5 different pc's, even my nice iMac Pro running Windows Parrallels, but it has come down to the course itself being possibly corrupt from the very beginning back in March when I started working on it. I didn't think to try it out in Links or plant because I do that at the end.
Here is the issue, I can get 2Ds to turn on, and a couple times I got as far as getting about 20 trees planted on the 1st hole and after a successful V/Save Links crashes/freezes during the shadow loading portion at 66% and 81%, and HERE is the kicker, that particular course file is now corrupt and not openable in APCD after that, good thing for all my backups!
I just can't get 2D objects to turn on in the APCD, hence I can't plant, place, and get them to look right. I just don't get it. I deleted all 2Ds and created new planting sets on a FRESH APCD install like 3 times and on multiple PCs. Windows 10, Windows 7, Vista, Mac running Parrallels. BTW, Parrallels doesn't work well with APCD, can't rotate camera, VERY frustrating
I turned to Harding Park this morning, planted on it, V/S, and everything worked good, even opened in Links, so it HAS to be this course file from the beginning right? So if that's the case, I've lost everything I've done in the last month, and this course was really, really good I thought, loved the way it looked.
I'm sending it to Glenn or Danny, or possibly someone else who has a DEEP knowledge of the APCD on a programming level like AJones did back in my day. if they can get it planted per my instructions, the course can be saved, otherwise I know of no other solution.
Sorry for the bad news, I just hate I built it up and the US Open and no course, just sucks. I guess I send some screenshots for everyone's enjoyment?
