Create a .mos file

[dewoitine]

Hi all,
I have a problem to create a .mos file with .dds file.
Thank you for your answer.

Hi Andre, do you have the .mos editor from the Terrain SDK installed?

Hello Clive, thanks for your answer.
Yes I have.

If you're having trouble you can always email me the .dds and I'll create the .mos file for you.

I go to Mosaic Editor's file and the answer is :"An initialization error has occurred. Please ensure you have Managed DirectX 9 or greater installed."
But I have DX9 !!!
I shall like creating this file myself but if I can't, of course your proposition is welcome.

Here's a link to M$oft's site for the download and install. You do need the Managed Directx to do the .mos files.

I managed to install it without hurting myself, but whatever else you do, create a system restore point if you're in XP or whatever the equivalent is in Vista or Windows 7. It is impossible otherwise to undo anything the installer might muck up.

Hope this helps.

MDX doesn't install from the DirectX download unless you manually find and install it from the DirectX SDK.

A quick search for MDXREDIST instead will find the required download, eg http://download11.com/get/mdxredist.msi

You must also have .NET framework installed - any version will do, get it from Microsoft.

Good catch! I misread the download which includes the UPDATE only.
Glad you posted before others went off on a goose chase.
