dr_svt 18 16a and vmd

[nahgallaco]

Having trouble updating these from 09 to 12.
I can fix most problems but the texture error has me stumped.
Can't find a later version on the DLS.
Does anyone know if there is a Payware version?
Thanks
Stuart.

Post the error messages up here with the asset kuid number. Someone may have already repaired the asset and will be able to help.

It is a nice looking consist and I would like to have it once more. That is why I would like an error free version.
If someone can suggest how to fix this one maybe I can fix the others?
I can't find an update or a Payware version.

I have checked and these files seem to be in correct files in the Config folder.
Spelling and punctuation seem okay.
Why won't they load?

This asset cannot be fixed properly with any of my standard tools.

This is a cracker of a fault. One material has TWO REFLECT TEXTURES!! I've never seen this fault before, (and I thought I had seen 'em all). Someone must have tampered with the mesh using a hex editor. It can be fixed, but I want to take my time so I pick the better reflect one to delete.

I will log this as "irreparable" with the help desk and submit a replacement when I have fixed it to my satisfaction.

Later Edit: Every mesh in the asset has the same fault, plus they have some unsupported texture types. I suspect the errors occurred through the use of multimaterials that GMax allows but Trainz does not.

I've repaired the dr_svt_18_16b <kuid2:110115:176:1> and upgraded it to Trainz-build 2.9. It needed a shadow amongst other changes. All duplicated and unsupported texture calls have been fixed.

There's more to this problem that I expected. Looking at the list of Assets from this creator, there are a bunch of other assets associated with this loco. It's most likely that they will all have similar faults.

The creator (rene_stambke) should repair them all if he is still around.

If not, I'm happy to repair the lot if my efforts are not wasted.. If N3V will accept my updates I will do them... Zec.. any comments??

Rene_Stambke's last activity at the forum was at the 28th of July. You could try contacting him directly or at the german subforum.

Wondering if there has been any movement on this one.
I have tried the link (sniper297) but was unable to fix it.
Nothing I try seems to work with the mesh. I can fix the other problems.
Is there a Payware version?

 

[nahgallaco]

Given the incredible number of items available on the DLS and via Payware I can't believe that no one has made a working version of this TEE train.
Maybe I have missed it. Perhaps it exists under another name?
Can anyone tell me where I could find it please.
