Hepl! Locomotive invisible in Driver.

[John514]

I`m trying to make my own locomotives for TS12.
I managed to make one (its just a brick block, but you get the idea).
But it apears only in Railyard. No missing deps/errors.. In surveyor its OK, but in driver its totaly invisible yet drivable

make sure in CMP that the auto create box is ticked

make sure in CMP that the auto create box is ticked

Thanks but it is ticked and the config.txt reads:


mesh-table
{
default
{
mesh "test.im"
auto-create 1
}
}


so I suppose that is not the problem...

Post your config.txt.

Please notice that the mesh is made in Sketchup. Since I had a succesfull export as a scenery item, I`m trying to convert it to a Loco.

 

[John514]

Anyone?
(aka Bump)

Only thing I see that jumps out at me is the shadow mesh should not have auto-create 1. What I would try is clone a working 2.9 engine, replace the body mesh with your mesh, see if the problem is in the mesh itself or the configuration of the new loco.

That's an F7 with a bush mesh replacing the body shell.

Two things I did notice is that there were no enginesound or hornsound tags, which are needed for an engine.

I`m gonna try these...

 

[John514]

Still, replacing a working locomotive`s mesh with my mesh just has these results:
Driver

Surveyor

 

[sniper297]

If the original loco works correctly in driver and all you did was replace the mesh with your mesh and that does not appear in driver, then the obvious conclusion is the mesh itself has a problem. Need to go back to the 3D program and find out what that is.

 

[John514]

But using this very mesh as a scenery item works perfectly.....Go figure

It's not going to work as a train vehicle without attachment points. Which you can't do in Sketchup, you'll need to import the model into Blender and add them.

So thats why! Thank you! Can I use PEV`s attachment maker? ( I mean, what attachments must be made?)
