moving scenery objects.

Is there another utility that can decompile bgl files besides bglxml?

Ive found an fs02 scenery that I would like to adjust to fit
the photoscenery Im using in an area.

can't MCX be used to adjust the coordinates of bgl's? Sure I read that somewhere.

There is a program called BGL Analyzer that will supposedly open most BGL files that won't open with BGL/XML.

I have tried it a number of times and it hasn't worked for me yet.

Still, it must work on some BGLs or why would the author have bothered to release it? Maybe I've just been unlucky.

Well I live by it ,converting from FSX or FS2004/2002 to CFS2.

Best I have ever seen..

I'm glad to hear that it has worked for you! That's encouraging! I shall continue to try it when I can't open a BGL with BGLxml, and hopefully some time it will work for me.

Ok, so I've tried this, seems to break down a bgl into scasm code, now to work out how to edit and what to use to recompile to bgl.

Well I only hope that the download included scasm 2.85 or higher, I have not looked at the actual zip file in a while.

Once you break it down, make any changes, then just drag and drop the text over scasm to create a new BGL.

Doesn't seem to want to compile, for some reason SCASM won't run by itself (Im on Win10), is there a 'front end' application that anyone recommends?

thanks

This is a long shot...But maybe try this

BGL Comp SDK Fs2004 BGL Compile SDK by Microsoft

Unfortunately BGLComp will not compile SCASM files...

Well this combined with bgl comp will help remove objects:

I spend my time in CFS2 on the Vietnam war project so I am sorry I can not be of more help.

OK can someone take a look at this xml and tell me why it won't compile to BGL?

Perhaps it is the & character in the folder name?
