AusENC S63 large scale cells offset

[aboon]

Hubert, Dave,
I have prepared a list of the 'anomalies' I have found with the AusENC charts displayed on OCPN. I have reported most of them already. When you get the latest AusENC charts, see if you can replicate what I am seeing.
Most of the items on the list were found with charts updated to Week 18. I have confirmed them with the Week 20 update.

Andrew...

Taking another look at this AU S63 problem, I believe we are looking at some situation where updates are not correctly applied.

To check this on one cell, will you send me a copy of your file:

{config directory}/s63/s63charts/AU/AU5174P4.os63

It will look something like this:

cellpermit:AU5174P42015073166D554FB712873DAF1E8A533E54084689289FDF55B8D13A8,0,1,AU,
cellbase:/home/dsr/Charts/ENC_AUS/enc-base/ENC_ROOT/AU/AU5174P4/1/0/AU5174P4.000;VERSION=1.0,EDTN=1,UPDN=0,UADT=20081024,ISDT=20081024;
cellupdate:/home/dsr/Charts/ENC_AUS/enc-base/ENC_ROOT/AU/AU5174P4/1/1/AU5174P4.001;VERSION=1.0,EDTN=1,UPDN=1,ISDT=20121112;

with of course different paths.

This file tells us what s63_pi thinks the current cell update situation is. As you can see, I am looking at edition1/update1, coming from an older exchange set.

Thanks
Dave

Dave,
Here is the file. Looks like it has the last update in 2017.

Andrew...

Sorry, you sent the wrong file.

You sent: "AU5179P4."
And we need to look at "AU5174P4"

Off by one digit...

Thanks for your patience.
Dave

[aboon]

And yours! My apologies.

A long shot, but sometimes we have trouble with folder names containing spaces.

Will you please try renaming:

...\Electronic charts and plotters\openCPN\Charts\....

to something without spaces?

Or, you can copy you S63 charts to another, no-space-in-name folder.

Then delete and reimport the permits and cells.

As I say, a long shot, but at least we can eliminate the possibility.

Thanks
Dave

Dave,
I moved the charts to a new folder (no spaces in the path) and re-built all the AusENC charts. I am seeing the same as before: discontinuous boundaries, and the Object Query lat/lon are altered.

Andrew

[aboon]

Not quite true. 'Base Map' is still there. I'll try again.

Andrew

[aboon]

OK, all done. No spaces.
Same result as before.

Andrew...

Well, a long shot.

I have a fairly complicated debug procedure that I would like to try, if you are game.

Up for it?

First, please:

1. Start OCPN
2. Set to single chart mode.
3. pan/zoom to show only chart : AU5174P4
4. Exit OCPN.
5. In your config directory, delete all the files in s63/s63SENC folder.
6. Start OCPN. Do not zoom/pan at all. When the chart shows, exit OCPN immediately.
7. Post the OCPN logfile.

There will be more after I look at the logfile.

Thanks
Dave

I turned off Chart Quilting and had only one cell displayed although the information was still present for another 3 (S63) cells at the bottom of the screen. Is that 'single chart mode'?

Andrew

A...

OK, this is good.

1. Now, stop OCPN.
2. Open a Windows cmd line window.
3. Execute the following line in the cmd window: (cut and paste works best...)

"C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenCPN\plugins\s63_pi\OCPNsenc.exe"  -l  -i "C:\Charts\openCPN\AusENC\BaseMap\ENC_ROOT\AU\AU5174P4\2\0\AU5174P4.000" -o "C:\ProgramData\opencpn\\s63\s63SENC\AU5174P4.ehdr" -p AU5174P42019043018155A0ECEBF8CBB2D2D77BFE08C0AA67A84081CC3BDF004,0,2,AU, -u 8721B9FC615EC56F66358F113147 -e DECBF812 -b 49501 -r "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenCPN\s57data" -m "C:\Users\Andrew_2\AppData\Local\Temp\D101.tmp" -z "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenCPN\plugins\s63_pi.dll"

4. Post a screen capture of the result. What we are looking for is indication that the OCPNsenc program is applying the updates. (1-4) This will be reported in the command window.

5. For fun, take a look at this file, and post:

C:\Users\Andrew_2\AppData\Local\Temp\D101.tmp

This file is telling OCPNsenc where to find the update files (1-4).

Dave,
How's this?

Andrew

[bdbcat]

Andrew...

Perfect.

Exactly what I would expect. You are a good student...

So, now please start OCPN, and inspect the one buoy position that seems to be reported incorrectly on this chart. Compare to other sources, as before.

Meanwhile, I sleep. Time is 0050 local...

Tomorrow.
