c424 problems

[gambroe]

Hello all!

I had recently downloaded cincysouthern railway's c424s for the V&O. I know the meshes for these engines have to be replaced, but where inside another diesel's file do you find it, and what adjustments to the config file do you need to make?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your time!

Downloaded C424 Virginian & Ohio 2434,<kuid:45588:1942> and see it has missing dependency hornsound kuid:261222:1053.
The config.txt file in kuid:45588:1942 shows the alias mesh is in kuid:58843:53 so downloaded kuid:58843:53. Opened both kuids for Edit in Explorer and copied the mesh file el_c424_body.im from the el_c424_body folder to cr_c425_body folder. In the config.txt file of kuid:45588:1942, deleted the alias kuid:58843:53 line and changed the hornsound to kuid:-1:42004003, since I don't have kuid:261222:1053. Deleted the 2 lines referencing kuid:261222:1053 and kuid:58843:53 in the mesh-table at the bottom. Saved and commit but has error in the mesh. PEV's Mesh-Text-Viewer shows a texture is misapplied. Ran el_c424_body.im thru PEV's PM2IM. Now commits ok.

Sorry it took so long to reply, but I'm still having having trouble. I've copied several different c424 body.im files into the V&O c424 body files and I erased the alias kuid from the config file (including the same kuid in the mesh table). I don't seem to have any dependencies missing. Yet nothing seems to work. Has anybody else experienced the same thing? Is there something I seem to be missing or not doing? Again any help is appreciated.

I just noticed that you're using TRS2004 and I had downloaded it and made changes in TS2010. I copied the loco's folder to TRS2004 and checked it with TO. It showed I also needed:
Alco Bogey,<kuid:58843:50050>
Alco S2-S4,<kuid:52779:50003>
DL&W RS3 913 interior,<kuid:106916:100681>
I copied these to the TRS2004\World\dispatcher\downloads folder and then ran TRS2004. The C424 shows up and runs ok. The only thing I noticed is that the headlight is always on.
