Adding image files to forum

Screenshots - see the relevant sticky in the Screenshots forum.

Wav files - not sure why you want to do this, but it's a case of hosting it elsewhere and linking to it.

I did a reskin of Ben Neal's Baldwin 4-6-0 locomotive and tendor. I'm trying to create a thumbnail for content manager for these reskins so I can uplaod to DLS.

Thanks Shane for your reply.

I've created horn and bell sounds with Audocity.
I was hoping someone could look at my creation and see why I don't have sound in railyard after committing new horn sound.
Where and how do I post the wav files for review?
 
There's a sticky thread in the Content Creation Support forum that advises on how to do hornsounds. If you wish to show one, you will need to upload it somewhere and link to it.

I haven't personally got one yet, but I can advise here.

Firstly, you will need to create a thumbnail file (JPEG - 240 width x 180 height (in pixels))

Once this is done, the following entry needs to be made in the asset's config:

Code: 
thumbnails
{
 default
   {
     image "screenshot.jpg"
     width 240
     height 180
    }
}

Replace "screenshot" with the name of your JPEG file.

I made sure that my screenshots were saved as width 240 height 180 pixels jpg. I also added 'default' to config folder as instructed above. After committing, I get the error: The tag 'default' is not permitted within a container of type '2'. The original thumbnail still shows in the viewer. Do I need to delete the orginal thumbnail found in container type '0' from the config folder?
 
If you're using the numbering format, remove the 'default' entry and replace with '2'. If you've already got a '2' entry, delete the start and end of that container not the contents of it.

If you can post the contents of your thumbnails container I can work out what's happened.

Here's a copy of the config folder. My thumbnail screenshot is tweetsie1.jpg
Thanks Shane for reviewing this for me.
 
You need to have the screenshot in the asset's folder. You cannot link it from your home computer. How will others see the thumbnail if it's only on your computer and not within the loco. ;)

It's best to use the
Code: 
 tags before and after a config as it makes it easier to read. I'll use it below to show what you need to do for your thumbnail to work:

I'd delete the original screenshot and put tweetsie1.jpg where the original screenshot was, which is in the 'body' folder within the main asset. Your new thumbnails container should look like this:

[code]thumbnails
{
  0
  {
    image                               "blw_tw_tender_body/tweetsie1.jpg"
    width                               240
    height                              180
  }
  
  1
  {
    image                               "blw_tw_tender_art/tender-icon.tga"
    width                               128
    height                              64
  }
}

Since I used the
Code: 
 tags, you can just copy it in to your config instead of the old thumbnails container. :)

Hope this helps.

Kieran.
 
You should also be aware that after patching TS2012 ro SP1 and HF1 there is a sound problem that comes and goes. My TS2012SP1HF1 went completely silent and no sound has appeared since. So, you might not be hearing your newly created sound anyway.

Bill
 
Thanks everyone for your help with my issues. I'm still working on the horn sound, but the thumbnails look great! THANKS!
 
Thanks Shane, Kieran, and Bill for your suggestions and advice. My thumbnails now work! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm still working on the horn sounds, but I'll get it done eventually.
 
No problem downloading it. You can just store it in a directory somewhere and then when you want you can install it. Just keep in mind that anyone who releases (uploads) a new route to the DLS built for TS2012SP1HF1 may not work with an unpatched version of TS2012.
