Re the cab in the ground question - this is because the cab attachment point, a.cab0, is mismatched to the chosen interior. i.e. the mesh is in the wrong place. A cab mesh insertion point is at a.cab0. Cab interiors can be harder to make than the loco itself and especially for steam locos. I...

Didn’t know about the broken weather but we really do get unexpected showers in an otherwise brilliant southern Queensland summer or spring day. But I was looking at World.gs recently while trying to get some windscreen wiper code working using Dundun92’s WagonX library code. That’s why I knew...

There are the weather functions in world.gs if you were talking about Trainzscript. I live in the same area as N3V and we often get showers of rain in brilliant sunshine.

You are calling the config file ".cfg". It should be config.txt so I hope this isn't a misunderstanding. The folder should contain: 1. a config.txt file. 2. the mesh file "alignment.trainzmesh". 3. the thumbnail image - i.e. "thumbnail.jpg". It could be called something else. The...

Life was much simpler with MS-DOS 2.11.

I didn't find anything to update but I install Windows updates regularly and had a couple in the last few days. Plus I updated Visual Studio recently and that probably updated some obscure libraries. Discord seems to update itself most every day but I suspect those are more related to...

Is that because the stiffness of the cables is putting sideways pressure on the connectors? An interesting post considering I'm toying with the idea of upgrading my RTX2080 to something more powerful.

Also, not all 3rd Party are faulty or even have warnings. Some may have scripts using obsolete functions that work fine if compatibility mode is on. Others can have missing mesh dependencies if an author has uploaded a mesh library with changes and not waited for that library to be on the DLS...

Try deleting the asset from CM and then drop your asset back into CM.

I assume you are using a terrain texture asset? There is the "double untexture" in the Surveyor Paint list that acts like an eraser. Is that what you are after? It may not rid your route of all links to your old texture.

If the tutorial you refer to is the one with the mossy rocks then that is a tutorial I wrote, not N3V. The purpose of the tutorial is about exporting from Blender to FBX and not about mesh creation. I'm sure the provided Blender mesh was already UV mapped. I hear what you say but I'm...

That suggests to me that your UV map is the problem. i.e. it may be mapping your model to small parts of the available texture space. Do we use UV maps? Yes, absolutely, they are very important and I often redo my UV maps several times until I think they are suitable. It is worth your while...

I don't think you need the texture coordinate and mapping nodes as Trainz will use the UV map in the mesh file anyway. Perhaps they might be useful if you were baking some texture. I usually pick the UV map in the Normal Map node but again it doesn't seem to make much difference to Trainz if...

A picture of your shader setup would be helpful. By "Wrangler" do you mean Bake Wrangler? I've that many times to bake out textures that I have used as inputs to the standard PBMetal shader export setup.

Excellent! It's always the little things... :)
