SC4 Bat Error 6

[Titan_LH 6]

Hi there,

I'm planning on making my own town out of my own buildings, but before I need to create each lot. The thing is that I installed GMAX and BAT editors to make those and that when I try to export my model with BAT editor, it returns the first image then stop with error 6. 

According to the description of the error online, I have enough ram (16GB ram) and no SimCity 4 or LotEditor running at the same time. How could it happen ? Do you have any common fix regarding this error ? Thanks for your further replies.

Error 6 is one of the most generic errors we have, but one of the scenarios it will always appear is when you're not running the software as Administrator. So try to just close Gmax and open it again but as Admin.

Hi, thanks for your fast reply ; Just tried your option, I still have the same error. I forgot to tell you that i'm using Windows 10 and that it worked perfectly in the past on another Hard Disk. It renders perfeclty the first image and stops when it tries the second one.

 

 

Edit : Just tried with a simple house, it worked. Maybe it comes from the fact that this model contains too much polygones. Thanks for your help !

There is also another problem that I think would give this error, but I'm not so sure about that, which is the model being too large - and consequently its LODs too. What are the dimensions of yours? Maybe try to scale it down to like 50% or even more and test it.

The model is too big.

All of these problems were fixed as of now. Thanks for your replies, you were very helpful.

I'm just figuring out how to open my lot editor since it closes as I run it with or without administrator. I have a steam version and that seems to break a lot of things in those extra softwares.

I had the same problem a few years ago but I don't remember how I solved it. If I'm not wrong what I did was download the lot editor in SC4Devotion and replaced the file.

It's the installer version ? If I remember I have another error with it telling me that it doesn't find the registry or somehow can't access it... A lot of things to deal with hope that everything will be fixed at the end
