I've same problem, but in ubuntu on v4.0.beta14.official [28a24639c] build

[Manik2607]

same here

I have encountered the same issue using Beta 14. Mono build, of course. My best guess is that compatibility broke during one of the Godot beta updates. I hope sboron gets it back up and running again

Thank you for the Issue. I will take a look immediately.

the current pull request should fix it in general. However you moved it to another Folder the Fix might not work for you, as it currently explicitly looks for it's own assets in "res://addons/TerrainPlugin/..." It is something I'm working on, but can't guarantee it ever working in the future.

[Sythelux]

If possible please try pull #26 and see if that is working with latest stable.

The problem is still present for me on Windows 10, Godot 4.1 RC1 after moving the plugin to addons/TerrainPlugin: "Unable to load addon script from path: 'res://addons/TerrainPlugin/TerrainPlugin.cs' This might be due to a code error in that script."

This also happens for the Godot 4.1 fork of Sythelux.

[Sythelux]

I'm sorry I have to ask, but did you went through the correct activation Order?

1. create a C# Solution
2. build once with C# enabled
3. enable the Plugin in the Project settings

[ascripter]

Didn't know that. But it also fails at the first step: "Failed to create C# project".

Do I need to install a C# compiler? I have absolutely no background in C, C++ or C#, maybe I'm missing some basics.

[Sythelux]

It is not your fault really. It is supposed to go into the wiki/readme/faq which stefan hasn't enabled here and I hadn't hat the time to write one in my repo.

you need the Godot dotnet version for this to work so the second button in this image:

or if you downloaded the 4.1 beta you need to go into the mono subfolder:

for example for Godot 4.1 beta 3 you have to go here: https://downloads.tuxfamily.org/godotengine/4.1/beta3/mono/

you can see that there is a mono folder in each godot engine folder. you need that version for your platform.

lastly you need at least dotnet 6 installed, which you can get from here: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download

I know this seems like a lot of work, but there is a benefit on coding in C# it is not as hard as C++, but it is faster than GDScript (although the Godot team did a lot of nice work)

We already had user asking if there will be a port of this addon to C++ (which would make the dotnet download part obsolete) and We don't plan to, but there is a movement of Godot developers themselves to integrate Terrain Tooling into the engine until then I will try to maintain this repository to have a somewhat working alternative.

[ascripter]

Thanks a lot. Building and activating the plugin works now on Godot 4.0.3 as well as 4.1 RC 1.

However I got 73 warnings during building: "The annotation for nullable reference types should only be used in code within a '#nullable' annotations context."

[Sythelux]

okay thank you. I know what the issue there is, but can't fix that soon. If you want you can write an extra Issue about it. I'll leave this one open until the OP writes something or there is no activity for a while.
