NBOS Fractal World Explorer 1.8 import into FT3 3.0.12

illuminatispy · February 2013

I have a friend who's asked me to map his campaign world in CC3 but he uses NBOS. Since I have Astro Synthesis I have FWE 1.8. So I had him send me his FWE file so I could export it to a BIN them import the BIN into FT3. I know the FWE file is good because I've opened it in FWE. Its the Binary import into FT3 I'm having the problem with. All I get is a mess which looks like television static. I know I have imported a binary from FWE to FT in the past but it was years ago.

I tried importing the FWE bin export into WILBUR hoping to convert to an MDR export for FT3 import but I had the same problem. It imports static.

Unfortunately FWE does not export a grey scale height map or MDR because I have no issues importing those into WILBUR then importing an MDR export from there to FT3.

Refreshing this since I asked 4 days ago.
Help please.

What settings are you using to export the file from FWE and then what settings are you using to import it into FT3? A screen shot of the current FT3 results must also be helpful, as there are certain kinds of results in FT3 that are visually diagnostic of particular problems (that is, if I see the problem, I can likely tell you what the problem is and possibly help you to fix it).

FWE only has 16bit integers (2byte) and 32bit integers (4byte) as export options. Ive tried both options. There are no advanced options just choosing one of those selections. I know the FWE export is 1440x720 This is what I get in FWE

Sorry that was the FT3 results after import

These are the import settings I'm using.

These are the only options FWE allows for binary export.

Wilbur won't import the BIN either. It also gives similar results as the FT3 import.

For the 32-bit FWE export, try using 4-byte (not 4-byte, float). The not-quite vertical stripes suggest that there is a discrepancy between the actual image size (sample size multiplied by image width); you have the Line Width set to 1, which is likely not correct. Try setting Line Width to 4 times the image width (5760 bytes for a 1440 sample output) and see if that helps. You might also need to enable the Signed feature to get ocean depths.

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Odd, FT3 imports the file but Wilbur does not. Even signing I don't get ocean depths but I'm only concerned with continent shapes and basic idea where the mountains are anyway.

Again thank you.
