I’ve been tinkering with this thing now for 3 days. And its till broke!
This asset is CPR Roundhouse,<kuid2:316:28007:1>
Its used on George Fishers’ Indiana Western,<kuid:106916:1084>
The roundhouse looks really good. New spinner track, new roundhouse track and the textures have been tinkered with a great deal.
I removed the roof to get inside and added track bumpers to all 32 tracks.
In general a work of art.
But it won’t work right. Oh it works, but not right in my opinion.
First adding the track bumpers was a disaster. It causes the spinner to
snap to the next position rather than turn. OK, delete the track bumpers.
The real killer is this. When it’s all put together and looking great,
when hitting the turn icon, it turns smoothly and all looks good except
it causes all the track from the spline attaching points for yard tracks to
the first spline point on that track away from the turntable to DISAPPEAR.
Track inside the roundhouse and stub tracks do not disappear.
And they stay disappeared till the spinner stops. If there is any rolling stock
or power on the track, it too disappears. When the spinner stops all reappear
as if nothing was wrong. Very distracting and not so prototypical to say the least.
Re-tracking the connecting track did not fix the problem.
Not having the track bumpers was bad but this is just unacceptable.
If this is not fixable, this roundhouse is going to go the way of its namesake.
All track will be routed around the turntable. A large parking lot will be added
along with some concessions an it’s gonna be a museum.
Note. The roof can be "removed" by adding an alpha file to the roof_tar.texture.txt file. Makes for an easy way to get inside to add just about anything to the interior.
Any help in fixing this will surely be appreciated. Thanks
