Needed: BETA Testers for Google Earth Plugin

**wfs1** · 10-20-2006, 07:29 AM

Okay here's the info.
I downloaded the beta 10/20/06 copied it to rr folder.
downloaded rrearth.zip, copied to the rrearth folder and unzipped it there.
Ran the register bat file.
On start up of GE I got a windows error "Could not open file Runner\rrearth\net.kml". Notice it didn't show RoadRunner??
Continued with GE, boy the politics and flags are even on the US map, anyway noticed that the toggle of GPS On/Off created multiple icons. The fly to, etc didn't work..

Here's the debug file

Ok, your plugin was installed correctly, but something seems wrong with the GPS network link.. I guess I need to put some quotes in there. I'll fix this shortly.

Do you have the latest GE4 running ? I have tried it in a few machines and it works fine -- please note that you MUST have internet working in the machine for fly-to/directions to work.

Anybody else made a debug log ? (I'm looking for those that don't even get the plugin to load).

@Wfs1: this should fix the issue you were having with the "could not open" message (remember to run register.bat):

Download to RREarth.zip is broken. Oh Noes!

Here's my log file from the previous version:

Code:

...
10/20/2006 6:35:16 PM: Leave Exec: False, menu.skin, load;menu2.skin, False

<relevant>

10/20/2006 6:35:19 PM: Enter Exec: False, menu2.skin, "GE_START", False
10/20/2006 6:35:19 PM: Que Exec: True, menu2.skin, "GE_START", False
10/20/2006 6:35:19 PM: Executing: GE_START
10/20/2006 6:35:19 PM: Leave Exec: False, menu2.skin, GE_START, False

</relevant>

10/20/2006 6:35:23 PM: Enter Exec: False, menu2.skin, , False
...

I have voice enabled and I hear it say: GE_START, but nothing loads and I am still in menu2.skin.

FYI: I just tried it with the default BMV2 skin, the RREarth test skin, and adding "DVD", "GE_START" to my ExecTbl.ini so I could launch it from the main menu. Same result. Voice said GE_START, but still in menu.skin. Debug log looks the same.

Code:

10/20/2006 6:43:19 PM: Enter Exec: False, menu.skin, "DVD", False
10/20/2006 6:43:19 PM: Que Exec: True, menu.skin, "DVD", False
10/20/2006 6:43:19 PM: Executing: GE_START
10/20/2006 6:43:19 PM: Leave Exec: False, menu.skin, GE_START, False

PS: Thanks Vinzer for telling me how to make the debug.log (I'm still a newby at RR).

Sorry it should have been:
http://www.rrdownloads.net/BETA/RREarth.zip

this is the relevant line here, why that's another story:
10/20/2006 6:35:12 PM: Error loading plugin: RREarth (Type mismatch)

Can you please try that clean up procedure as in the TXT, re-register and try again ?

Okay so far so good.

I did a Fly to and toggle the GPS on/off.
Now, what commands are active from the buttons on the menu, like full tour etc??

**wfs1** · 10-21-2006, 12:02 PM

Okay,
This is working GREAT!!!
I did fly to, directions, show route, full tour, turn tour and stop/pause. Slick!!
THANKS SO MUCH!!

ok... I ran regedit and deleted all the folders containing keys with RREarth (except the 2 MRU lists and the GE last-command-lines). Re-registered, still doesn't work. Copied back the dll from 10/8, re-registered, loads no problem.
(but buttons don't work, and I do have internet)

Sorry I missed that very relevant line LOL. I'm glad I decided to attach the whole log

Did u check that line on the debug log: "Error loading plugin" ? if so, what does it say between parenthesis ?

Also, are you by any chance just copying the new DLL onto the folder and registering ?? cause except for the test skin folde, you need ALL files in the zip to make it work.

**RPM_VR4** · 10-21-2006, 08:07 PM

It is still: Type mismatch

I always unzip the whole thing to c:\program files\Road Runner\RREarth\. The only time I only copy the dll is when going backwards to the 10/8 release (and it works fine with the newer rest-of-the-files)
