Help with terrain editing

Forgot that... I'm using XP SP3, also I remember last year I used the SH4 version of the extractor without any problem. I don't get it

I just loaded the TE up and it worked just fine.

Maybe it was a corrupted download? I know sometimes using one archive program to extract files made by by another can also cause problems, like Izarc having issues with properly extracting 7-zip files.

I'll double check the archive on my end to make sure there were no errors in compression.

I don't think it can be the archive, the program seems to work fine, I have the main window, I can look for folders, and when I point to the .BFI file, the program loads it but when the progress bar reaches 100% the error message pops up. When I click OK the program doesn't even crash, it keeps "working" though I can't do anything

Any chance the BFI file might be corrupted?

Or did you have this trouble with any BFI file?

I could try re-zipping it with my own BFI file included, along with a small "how-to" guide I found in the folder for the older version.

EDIT:

Tell you what, give me a few minutes to zip everything up and then I'll PM you with a link to download.

For the BFI, I tried several of them, my modded one in isolated mod folder, modded one enabled in a SH3 install, and stock one on stock install, same result. But yes I could really use the guide, I suspect it works but I'm overlooking something obvious

Uploading now. Give it a few more minutes.

Update: You have a PM, good sir!

Got it, and it works. Thanks a million for your help Graf!
I think the problem was that I only had the "Sh3Terrainextractor.exe", I didn't have the "Terrain.act" and "4320_2160.jpg" which are in the folder you sent me.
