LDD2POV-RAY, continued errors

[Brockhenhaus]

Hi all,

 

I just can't get my head around what I need to do to get LDD2POV-Ray to actually render a model for me - every turn seems to lead to another error

First I get this:

line 10: Parse Error: No */ closing comment found.

Line 10 has this: #include "ldd_default_colors.inc"

So I added a /* to the start and a */ to the end of the section so it looks like this:

/*

#include "ldd_default_colors.inc"

#include "ldd_default_materials.inc"

#include "ldd_part_materials.inc"

#include "ldd_part_bevels.inc"

#include "ldd_part_position_variances.inc"

#include "ldd_main.bin"           
*/

 

That seems to sort that out. But I then get this:

line 26: Parse Error: Cannot assign uninitialized identifier

Line 26 says: #declare ldd_camera_location = ldd_vtransform(<0, 0, 0>, ldd_camera_transformation);

 

If I remove all the camera declares, I get this:

line 28 Parse Error: Illegal character in input file, value is 80

Line 28 says this: #include "ldd_3828.bin"

 

If I then remove each include one by one, I just get that same error message each time.

 

Pulling my hair out here

Error

/* … */ is a block comment: everything between the markers is ignored.  That means your “fix” prevents all the definition files to be included.

And, no, sorry, I’ve no idea what the real fix is.

I would put Line 28 into a comment block....

Not really sure what that is, plus if I remove each ldd_.bin one by one, I just get the same error on the next piece.

 

However, my main issue is why are there all these errors? Are LDD2POV-Ray and LDD no longer compatible? I never used to have these problems a couple of years ago but now it seems LDD2POV-Ray is bust and no-one seems to know what's going on.

Then I guess the error might be really somewhere up ? Maybe try to convert the file to a ANSI ASCII file (using notepadd++). Might be some Unicode character somewhere which misses it up ?

As a sidenote afaik LDD2POV-Rays source code isn't available, is it ?
