Help with engine icon

[Trevorf5d]

I was using trainzproroutes CP SD40-2f and found a 3 window cyclops cab of a BN engine. I cloned one 2f and changed the interior with Content Creator Plus. It works wonders in game play. But, The engine icon is gone. I did nothing else in CCP other than the interior change and let CCP do the normal update when it see old content.

What do I have to do to get the icon back and have the new interior.

I have include a screen cap of the two engines original and clone on a blank route.

In the asset folder for the locomotive (in Windows Explorer), you should see a folder named "<asset-filename of engine>_art". There should be one or two images in there. Check them to see if one is the locomotive's icon. Next, there should also be some .texture.txt files in there, the number of which should be the same as the number of image files. The one that points to the icon image should be named something like "<asset-filename of engine>_art_icon.texture.txt". Open that one and see what image it points to. If the icon image file is in there with the .texture.txt file, then make sure that the "Primary" field in the .texture.txt file points to the image (the file extension should be there with the image file name). If the icon image file is not in there, and/or if the .texture.txt file is not in there, then you will need to manually copy it over from the original locomotive.

I hope that this helps.

Regards.

Older locos have their pictures stored in an art folder. New locos require the picture to be stored in a thumbnails container in the locos config.txt file. The format for this is:

thumbnails
{
  0
  {
    image                               "$screenshot$.jpg"
    width                               240
    height                              180
  }
}

where $screenshot$.jpg is replaced with the actual loco's graphic filename.
If this is the case with your cloned loco, change the config.txt file accordingly. Make sure the graphic is sized to 240 by 180 pixels.

Worked Wonders. I made it the picture over the graphic. Now I can recover other engines that have the same problem.

Thanks. :udrool:
