Loadable UK Tankers

[tension69]

Does anyone know where I can get some 'loadable' UK style tankers ie:- Esso, BP, Texaco etc.
The Esso tanker supplied with Trainz 2010 is not loadable, and I've tried to add product queues to it with the content editor, but it just throws loads of mesh and texture errors at me. Thanks.

Do you have the kuid number? Generally speaking if you use edit, edit in explorer you'll see fewer problems.

Thanks John

The tanker I'm trying to add a product queue to is <kuid:49267:15117> Esso Tanker.

When I open the esso tanker in content creator plus it shows warnings about the LOD mesh and can't seem to locate any of the textures...am I doing somethiong wrong? I'm using Trainz 2010 Content Creator 3.3

If I can do it via the config in explorer can you give a numbered list of how to do it , cheers.

You should clone the tanker into a kuid of your own. Then open the new asset for editing in windows explorer. The folder will contain .texture files which must be converted to TGA images. Use my Images2TGA program downloaded from here.

The new asset is then able to be committed back into the game. You can then add your own product queue to config.txt when ever you wish.

Thanks for the advice fellas, I did clone the asset then added the queue by copy + paste from a working tanker (The Brenntag one actually) into the config file.

Even tho there were still the missing texture warnings when I commited my cloned asset , the tanker appears perfectly textured in my route and now is loadable to boot. Huzzah

It's actually quite a messy one to play with and is almost certainly on the clean up list when they put wagons on there.

However right click then edit, edit in explorer, edit config.txt file and insert the following
queues
{
load
{
size 22094
initial-count 0

allowed-products
{
0 <kuid:-3:10010>
1 <kuid:-3:10045>
2 <kuid:-3:10011>
3 <kuid:-3:10012>
}
}
}

Immediately before the author line.

You may need to add the kuid numbers to the table at the end.

save the file and commit (<crtl>m)

It is a .pm so it will give you warnings and the textures are embedded in texture.txt files which will give other warnings.

Cheerio John

While it's not really critical, the rivet counter in me feels a need to point out, just in case you're not aware, that that isn't a UK tanker profile, it appears to most closely resemble a VTG-owned Zagkks, though the asset name suggests it's DB-owned.

Here's a photo of a real Zagkks for reference:

Anyway, not everyone cares about being as prototypically accurate as possible in trainz, some do though. However, there are some nicer looking Zagkks around the german trainz community if that's what you're looking for, particularly the ones from http://trainworks.eu/

If it is UK profile you're looking for, ElDavo's TEAs are about the best for modern image operations, although he didn't do a Esso, only BP, Fina and Murco. For slightly older look there are some TTAs on the DLS, and the 14t RCH Esso tankers that come with SnC are very very nice.
