'mapfile'

[RiscaStation]

Hi,

I have downloaded a few assets namely "King George", "King Edward" and two "HTV" Bauxite, Yellow trucks and every time I ask CMP3.3 to commit them I get this;--

File 'mapfile.tmp' is not of approximate file size
Failed to commit change.

The only way to view them is to go and open the Rail Yard.
When I go to Rail Yard these assets have installed and showing OK.
Could it be that these assets have been updated for use in Ts2012?
Any ideas anyone as there appears to be nothing wrong with the assets just CMP3.3 playing up perhaps?

Are you sure it indicated .tmp and not .bmp? .bmps are often used for separate alpha channel files. They have to be the same pixel h x w size of the primary texture file. If not then you'd see an error like that. For older content it generally provides transparency effects. Sometimes they can be resized in a paint program to match the primary size without hurting anything. Depends on what the image is. There should be a .texture.txt file that list both the primary and alpha files for the texture that's causing the problem.

Since CM says you're trying to make a change I'm not exactly sure what's going on as you say they show up in railyard.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the information. I had another look at my problem and did an extended data repair which has corrected the files I mentioned.
I had some 144 errors, how I don't know, but all is well now.
Again, many thanks.

Mike
