Access denied

[Kokepdl]

I followed all the steps in the guide but when it came time to run the .bat it denied me access and then proceeded to close the cmd. I already tried opening it with administrator and restarting the PC but no difference, I don't know if it's my fault or the fault of the pc

I've not been able to reproduce this issue as reported.

What I did:

1. Downloaded a fresh copy of the latest Windows build from https://overviewer.gregoryam.com/download/
2. Extracted the zip file using Windows Explorer to C:\Users\simon\Downloads\overviewer\
3. Copied my test world onto the system to C:\Users\simon\Desktop\render_test\
4. Downloaded the latest Minecraft client jar from https://overviewer.org/textures/1.21 to C:\Users\simon\Downloads\client.jar
5. Created a new folder at C:\Users\simon\Downloads\ovconfig
6. Created a new file atC:\Users\simon\Downloads\ovconfig\config.py containing the below configuration
7. Opened a new command prompt at C:\Users\simon\Downloads\overviewer\ and ran the command overviewer.exe --config="C:\Users\simon\Downloads\ovconfig\config.py" 1>>C:\Users\simon\Downloads\ovconfig\log.txt

The command completed successfully, and generated a map output at C:\Users\simon\Desktop\output\

Configuration

worlds["My world"] = "C:/Users/simon/Desktop/render_test"

texturepath = "C:/Users/simon/Downloads/client.jar"

renders["normalrender"] = {
    "world": "My world",
    "title": "Normal Render of My World",
}

outputdir = "C:/Users/simon/Desktop/output"

Thoughts

• Is the file at C:\Users\koked\Documents\SampleOverviewerFiles\Log writable? Check the read only flag and the security permissions on the Log file and the containing SampleOverviewerFiles folder
• Is C:\Users\koked\Documents\SampleOverviewerFiles\Log actually a file, or is it a folder? It need not exist (a file will be created there), but it cannot be a folder.
• Try running Overviewer without the redirection (from the 1>> to the end).
• Check the security permissions on overviewer.exe includes the "Read and execute" flag
• Check any security software you have running that might be getting in the way.

Follow the steps you told me but when I run the command it gives me this

The log file you told me about was a folder, and I already deleted it and tried the sample again and it gives me the same error in config.py and deleted 1>> the command does not run for some reason, I also deactivated windows defender in case that was the problem and it gives me the same error

This is clearly an improvement on your last situation as Overviewer has made progress.

I think your problem now is your use of backslashes (/) in the file paths. Python uses backslashes as an escape character, so you should either double up the backslashes or replace with forward slashes (/). See my example config file above.

I change the backslashes in the python and now de cmd doesn't do anything, not even a error and where do i put the double backslashes

Please can you provide a copy of your configuration file?
