I cant export any platform.

It is not a very helpful message, but I’d start by going through any model components you have and make sure they have assigned textures. Or perhaps it’s a tilesource which is missing an image?

It is also likely that our command line tool will provide a better error message:

(note: it requires JDK 25, not JDK 21 as documented. I’ll fix that straight away)

I would also appreciate if you could share your project with me (bjorn@defold.se) so that we can take a look and make sure the editor gives a better error message.

I just realised you shared it in another post!

Not very helpful using command line tools either…

Ok, I figured it out. It’s the cursor.go mesh which for some reason had an empty ‘textures’ field. Open the cursor.go, remove the mesh component, save, then add a new mesh component and provide the required fields.

Right now I understood.Thank you for your help. I would not figure out without you.
