Faulty asset

[TrainzFan99]

Hey everyone.

I might've already asked help on this before, but I'm having trouble with a faulty asset.

It's "Asphalt 3" by PerRock, and I still can't figure out how to fix it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I recall fixing it awhile ago, but I can't remember what the fix was. I think it's a typo in the file name or someone easy like that. Please post what the error is and someone can help you.

Okay.

"Error: The tag 'normal-texture' in 'groundtexture' points to a nonexistent file: 'AsphaltCloseups0106_7_S_NRM.jpg'."

That's what it is.

I remember.... Open up the asset for edit in Explorer and check that the texture.tga file is the same as the name.texture.txt, and the contents of the texture.txt file is the same. If there is any difference, other than the file extension, this will cause an error.

Correct the incorrect one(s) and you'll be all set.

Do I change that in the config thingy?

 

[TrainzFan99]

Oh, wait a sec...

I just fixed it somehow. Thanks anyway!

 

[TrainzFan99]

Actually, hang on...

It became faulty again...

Where do I find the necessary files that need fixing?

Where do I find the necessary files that need fixing?

The file you need to edit is config.txt.

If you use AssetX that is the file you are editing by default.

 

[TrainzFan99]

Okay, so, I have the config file opened up right now.

What do I change in it?

 

[JCitron]

Make sure the texture name listed is the same as the file name. Also check the texture.txt and the actual texture name listed inside that file.

JCitron, this is what I'm seeing:

kuid <kuid2:104609:3:1>
username "Asphalt 3"
trainz-build 3.1
category-class "GA"
category-region "US"
category-era "1930s;1940s;1950s;1960s;1970s;1980s;1990s;2000s;2010s"

texture "AsphaltCloseups0106_7_S.jpg"
normal-texture "AsphaltCloseups0106_7_S_NRM.jpg"

normal-texture "AsphaltCloseups0106_7_S_NRM.jpg"

The name here:

normal-texture "AsphaltCloseups0106_7_S_NRM.jpg"

has to match exactly the name of the file that is in the folder where you opened config.txt. If the spelling mistake is obvious, change the config.txt file entry to match the file name. If it's not obvious, provide a lsting of all the files in that folder.

Oh...

Got it! It works now.

Thanks for the help!

Congrats!
