makeing 04 grain cars lars compatibile

[brakemen]

hello to all:

and again I hope this belongs to this area I do not know where else to put it at

I have some 04 grain cars in the trs06 layout the 04 cars is lars compatible on the slim side what I need is the grains like oats,soya beans,wheat, and so on. the 04 grain cars give me barley, but when I click on the black "+" its not listing all the grains no oats,soya beans hops, and so on. how can I put in the kuid table the grains that I want. the other grain cars that I have listed all 9 grains in lars but I need the same thing added to the 04 grain cars any hints on how to do this.

Breakman,try an exspierment by cloning the car and open it in edit in explorer put in the kuid #s of the product(s)you want it to load,save & commit.
BTW change the asset name.( just add a v 2 at the end so you will know one from the other.

Give us a kuid for the grain car.

I have converted nearly all the grain cars avialable
for TRS2012 and all work fine. Most of the cars I
converted were from TRS2006 which I still use on
occasion. The TRS2006 database I have is still working
and up to date.

hello: this is what I did so far; I have 8 of these to fix all grain cars

under 4bay tenneco plastics # 46476 kuid 56063:185092:1 I went to the config file opened it. I then went to allowed products and entered my kuids there here they are. 5 <kuid:30671:9070990:1> corn; 6 <kuid:30671:9110412:1> oats; 7 <kuid:30671:9120100:1 soya beans; 8 <kuid:30671:9100810:1> wheat; 9 <kuid:30671:9110411:1 barley. the grain names is there just to make it easier for you. I then went to the kuid table and entered the products kuids as is with the same numbers 5-9. I then save and committ. I then went to the 4bay tenneco plastics rail car in cmp and then I saw a red exclamation point. I then went to view errors and here what it said assest specified in 5 not the correct type, asset specifed in 6 not the correct type, assest specified in 7 not the correct type. assest specified in 8 not the correct type. assest specified in 9 not the correct type. I have deleted the assest kuids I installed in the rail car. and save and committt and ok now. right now I do not know where to turn to now I thought I did the right thing but I guess not.
what does it mean when it says not the correct type?

thanks for help in advance.

If you want the hoppers that load alternative products you might be better off using one or more of Majekear's later 4baycflow hoppers (he has over 200 on the DLS). Search CM or the black pages for 4baycflow to list them. The latest ones have opening lids and better bogies.
If you really want the Tenneco Plastics one try making the changes below to the config file also adding the product kuids to the kuid table.


Find these lines in the old config file:
queues
{
load0
{
size 43000
initial-count 0
animated-mesh "load"
product-kuid <kuid:44179:60013>

allowed-categories
{
0 <kuid:-3:10040>
}
}
}


and change to:

queues
{
load0
{
size 43000
initial-count 0
animated-mesh "default"

allowed-products
{
0 <kuid:44179:60013>
1 <kuid2:30671:9070990:1>
2 <kuid2:30671:9110412:1>
3 <kuid2:30671:9120100:1>
4 <kuid2:30671:9100810:1>
5 <kuid2:30671:9110411:1>
}
}
}

I did this in TS2010 and the new hopper works for me.

helloagain:

IO tried your suggestion but it says product kuid not correct type and it says it for all of them. I must be missing somthing. because I did not see anything wrong with it. the only thing is i changed animated mesh to "default" and l left product kuid <kuid:44179:60013> in there I did not delete that.I havde 4 more kuids that I do not know if I can delete them or not.
kuid:-142004201 unlisted; 44179:60013 product kuid; kuid -310040 allowed catagories; kuid -1100008 bogey; -310164 unlisted. unlisted means it does not tell what the kuid belongs to.

how can it say product not the correct type when there is only on type of each grain. I just don't get it. product not the correct type it should say cmp not the correct type.

Brakemen,

Categories refer to bulk loads, liquid loads, etc.

Products refer to oats, wheat, corn, coal, diesel, and any of the many other loads that the rolling stock can carry.

In the config file you are adding products to the list so you need to change the section titled allowed-categories to allowed-products and you need to remove the one line showing a product kuid (this is being replaced by the allowed-products list).

If you only make the changes to the few lines I mention above (NB the post does not show the formatting properly , I have tried editing it but the extra spaces are removed when I save it, so try to keep the formatting in the original config file) and add the product kuids to the kuid table it should work. I am not sure what the unlisted kuids refer to unless you have inadvertently changed something else to the config file.

You could also compare the config files of other LARS compatible 4bay centreflow hoppers to see how they handle even longer lists of products.
