Fixing some assets

[alexl102]

I'm in the process of fixing some assets- just basic stuff like correcting an error in the config file that allows it to work.

Anyway, I'm currently looking at the Ffestiniog Railway loco 'Prince'.

The error shows up as Unable to load mesh file: 'Prince _shadow/prince_shadow.pm'. There is a shadow file in the folder, but the mesh file is 'prince_shadow.im'. I think the asset needs to be told to look for the .im file rather than .pm but there's nothing about the shadow in the config file.

Is there an easy way to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

There should be a shadow container under mesh-table.

Also, I'm missing 'princetend_shadow/princetend_shadow.pm' (should that be .im?) which I need for a few locos.
Can that be easily acquired?

Unfortunately, no in your case, as the software that can quickly create a shadow is Windows only. You may have to remove the shadow container in that circumstance.

Many thanks for both Shane! Apologies if I sounded rather demanding there- I didn't notice your first reply when posting my second post and as such it was intended to be merely an extension of my original post.

Hmmmm. The config.txt files literally don't contain anything about shadows- and there appears to be no mesh table in there either. I'm really confused! I'd be happy to just get rid of shadows altogether as shadow meshes are the sole reason most of my FR content doesn't work, but I can't see how to. Anything I can do, or is it a dead end? Welsh Pony works, which is weird.

Hi Alex,

For the FR content, check the DLS. ed6 has done some repairs and updates. Perhaps these are helpful.
