Error: Unsupported kind

[gremlin1812]

G’Day All, I’m trying to fix an asset and I’m at a loss, the wiki just leads me around in circles.
The following is the error and the first section of the config file:-

Error: Unsupported kind.

kind "water"
kuid <kuid:36649:21028>
normal "vhm3-water2"
reflection "vhm3-water4"
obsolete-table {
}
description "Water texture for Trainz"
trainz-build 1.3
category-class "EW"
category-region-0 "BG"
category-region-1 "US"
category-region-2 "UK"
category-region-3 "AU"
category-era-0 "1990s"
category-era-1 "2000s"
category-era-2 "1980s"
category-era-3 "1970s"
category-era-4 "1960s"
asset-filename "vhm3-water-02"
username "EP3 - Lake #1"

How do I fix this and have it still work, I’m using TRS2006.
Regards
Barrie

Change the kind from "water" to "water2". That should work.

If you change the kind to water2 it won't work. Following from page 61 in the TRS2006CCG:

"Note: New animated water in TRS (kind water2) supercedes previous UTC water (kind water).
Therefore kind water is no longer supported by TRS.
[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]Where a UTC map refers to an old kind water asset it [/FONT][/FONT]will automatically be updated to one of the new animated [FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]water assets.
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]Essentially the new water system comprises of an animated, bump-mapped, transparent surface. The animation variables are controlled through the water.anim.txt. The tile size and material properties are [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]controlled though the water.config.txt file (following page)."[/FONT][/FONT]

G'Day MrScott2006 and Bob, OK I'm a little confused now, but I changed it to "water2" and then had these errors:-
Error: The tag 'normal' is not permitted within this container. (Container type 'water2')
Error: The tag 'reflection' is not permitted within this container. (Container type 'water2')
OK, easy enough to get rid of the errors, just delete those entrys but is the texture still going to work?
If not what should I do?
Thank you for the replys.
Regards
Barrie

Let us know what happens. It could be that the kuid is to out of date for TRS2006.

In TS2009 and 2010, regular textures are of kind:texture or king:groundtexture. Kind:water2 specifies the animated surface texture of water and reqires a WaterManager config data file and a water.anim.txt.
