LMS Coronation Blue- unable to load textures suddenly?

[alexl102]

Hi,

A while back I downloaded the LMS Coronation Class in blue and red. Both worked However, for some reason the blue now says it can't load one of the texture files.

Why is this, and can I easily mend it?

Secondly, I've a pile of assets with faults but in many cases it's a shadow texture that won't load. I'm not really all that fussed whether they have a shadow or not- is there any way I can simply tell it to effectively forget about the shadow texture and just work without it?

Apologies for a list of demands here!

Many thanks.

Hi there,

The EXACT errors would be appreciated.

If it's the 'xxx.texture is missing or cannot be loaded for mesh xxx.im' error, you may be out of luck if the image in question does exist in the folder (another reason why Mac systems are actually worse off when it comes to content repairs).

Here's the error box for it:

The link doesn't go to an image as it appears to be an unknown link. You could try an uninstall of your Coronation locos and then re-download them. The shadow issue is something that you cannot ignore as all assets are required to have a shadow mesh regardless of whether or not you have shadows turned on. I am not sure that this can be solved easily in MAC

Thanks for pointing that out- here's the correct one!

I do find Mac immensely frustrating. When my applecare runs out I fully intend to return to Windows.
I'll try the re-install if I have time tonight, thanks!

Update: Reinstall didn't work. Thanks anyway!

Write the asset a mesh table. This depends on where the mesh is located. I'm going to assume it's in coronation_blue_body and is a .pm file.

mesh-table {
default {
mesh "coronation_blue_body/coronation_blue_body.pm"
auto-create 1
}
}

Tell me if that helps, and be sure to edit the mesh entry for the correct location.

I did this a while ago and can't check to see if the path is right, but there's a high chance it is.

The only problem in the error message is the one that refers to being unable to load the shadow mesh. The others are warnings and are OK to forget about. If everything was working fine at one time then you should be able to get it working again. If you red Coronation is working fine then we can use that to fix the blue one. I am not a MAC user so may not be giving you correct information but if you can open the red Coronation loco for edit (via Content Manager I would assume if you have this in the MAC version ? ? ) and find the file called coronation_red_shadow.pm in the shadow folder and copy this to an alternative location such as your desk top. Rename it to shadow_blue_coronation.pm and the copy this into the shadow folder in the blue Coronation loco. Commit both and you should be good to go.
