How to make text file disappear?

[picture]

Dear Community,

I'm trying to reskin Ben Neal's awesome generic locomotives. However the text file is troubleing me as in every time I go to change the words, it only changes the color of the text and not the words.
Even if I try to make a new layer over the first words, and then start typing over that, it still only changes the color of the first words.

So my question is, is there anyway to get rid of the text file and still make the engine work without errors?

Also if it makes a difference, I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0.

Thanks,
Matt

What text file are you talking about?
What version of Trainz?
If you really want help with a specific loco, post the kuid number of it here and we'll help.

I'm using TRS2004

The locomotive in question is Ben Neal's USRA 4-8-2 Mountain. kuid:96914:4780 The tender is kuid:96914:4781.

The text file is "text.tga" without the quotation marks.

Thanks,
Matt

I downloaded this loco into TS2009 and checked it with the Content Manager (CM2). On USRA Light 4-8-2,<kuid:96914:4780> the only error I get is:

Error: Attachment point attachment (a.stoker) in 'soundscript\dayloop2' was not found.

I looked in the mesh file and a.stoker is not present so deleted that dayloop2 container. The file now commits without error.

CM2 also shows this error in usra lmount b0,<kuid:96914:504780>:

Error: The primary and alpha texture are not the same size for 'C:\Program Files\Auran\TS2009/local/hash-91\content a57i216121\windows-windows_a.texture.txt'
Error: Unable to load texture 'windows.tga'.
Error: Unable to load texture 'windows_a.bmp'.

I looked in the mesh file and see that this texture is not used so deleted the windows-windows_a.texture.txt file and it commited without errors.
This fixes the loco for TS2006 so should also fix it for TRS2004.

I'm sorry I should have been a bit more specific. The loco runs fine but the text file is used to reskin the engine. I'm trying to reskin the engine without using text.tga

Thank you. Yeah I screwed up big time on the landing. I'm going to try and redo it with a better landing and I won't land in San Fansisco either. I probably land at Travis AFB.

You could make a completely transparent text.tga file.

How do you do that?

I'm having the same problem, too.

You should just have to edit it and save as text.tga, it must be named the same as it was.

Are you aware that there is an embedded alpha channel associated with this graphic file....you will need to change that too in order to make your reskin work?
