That sounds perfect Robby. You can go ahead and import it into Trainz. Could you e-mail me it when your ready.

Upon release your name will go in the credits, just in case you were wondering.

Thanks again man!

Thanks Davis, a little word of advice, please remove your email address. I just added it to my address book, so you can remove so you don't get spam. I will try my best to get the sign into Trainz, but CCP (not CMP) keeps locking up on me every time I try to export the mesh. Does anyone else have problems like this or is it just me?

Robby :wave:

I've gotton an idea why don't you use the invisible platforms and a spline over it to take care of the platforms(this was used in the previous version of the nec) you should also note that the cross over brigde in northwhite plains and bwi are similar.

BWI really needed this. Here is a pic of the overpass it is kinda unique:

and

If someone could nail this down for me I would put the scenery on hold and build track up to here (obviously including intermediate MARC stops).

I quoted the pictures because A: they are small, and B: Context.
Do you have TC1&2? As I remember there are a few stations similar to this made for the Harlem Line. I was able to use those stations in 2006 as well, but I don't have the numbers right now.

@srr89:
Thanks for the tip man, I forgot to take it down earlier. Hopefully you dont have too many problems, I would help but Im pretty clueless in that category.

@marinemania:
I might go back and do that because in the future if some cars with operating doors come along I want to be ready so Ill give that a shot. With all the work I have already put in I might as well do that to.

@Euphod:
Yes I do have TC, I actually have all of them and TS2009 has all of TC's platforms pre-loaded into it. Ill fiddle around with them but I do have a few minor problems with them. A. Some are curvy and specifically designed for specific locales. B. Some are too short. C. They arent long enough

B and C I can work around just to get the bridge out of the whole deal. Luckily the platforms are too low not too high so I can lay new platforms over them and lengthen the stations and stuff and maybe even throw an invisible station into the mix.

Thanks guys for the help.

You can upload images here (after you register)...

...then copy their image (.IMG) codes into your post here on the forums.

 

[marinemania]

[wridenour]

Ummmm...ask your mom or dad to let you upload to their account?...

 

[strench707]

I dont listen to those rules and Im 13.

Davis

 

[wridenour]

But you can't create an account if you aren't 14 or older.

 

[strench707]

Sometimes you have to bend the rules to get what you need. Id rather get repermanded for that then spending time trying to describe what this route looks like.

I make sacrifices:hehe:

Hello all,

I have had some issues importing the amtrak sign into Trainz. First CMP said "Could not load texture amtrak.png.........", which I immediately assumed that Trainz doesn't like png files, so I changed the texture to targa format. Now CMP is saying this:

Error: The texture 'c:\program files\auran\trs2006/local/content 1f0m3qa38\amtrak_logo.tga' is not a power of 2, please resize it.

How would I go about resizing the image to a power of 2? I think this has been asked in the past, but I can't seem to find that thread.

Any help will be appreciated. (BTW I am using GMax)

Robby :wave:

 

[PerRock]

The game won't recognize it if it isn't in a power of 2.

peter

 

[srr89]

I understand that much, but how would I go about resizing the image so that it is a power of 2?

Robby :wave:

 

[PerRock]

you'd do that in an image editor. I suggest irfranview.
most editors have a resize option.

while I'm on the subject of rezeing. wridenour would you mind resizing your signature so it is withing the Code of Conduct. the max size for the CoC is 800px by 100px.

peter

 

[strench707]

Just to get proprotion wridenour my sig is 486 by 68 pixels and Peter's is 300 by 100 pixels. So you gotta bring that Conrail engine down to size. I have been meaning to say something but I kept forgetting:hehe: .

Oh well

I am truly sorry for being annoying here Peter, but this is my first asset I have created for Trainz and I know nothing about resizing an image so it is a power of 2. Would that mean it has to be a certain pixel dimension or something? Again, sorry for being annoying here. This is my first time running into a problem like this.

Also, I did manage to download Irfanview, so if you need to give me directions you can refer to that program.

EDIT: Never mind Peter I found out the issue. Thanks for your help anyway. Now to deal with another problem of why the object isn't showing up in Trainz.

Robby :wave:

 

[strench707]

It seems every time you move a yard ahead the goalpost gets moved right back to the other side of the field, doesnt it. This will be greatly appreciated especially after all of the work you have put into this!

Little Problem...

Unfortunately I can't seem to get the sign into Trainz. The mesh itself won't show up. Therefore I am going to need some assistance here. First off, here's the config:

kind "scenery"
light 1
obsolete-table {
}
trainz-build 2.5
category-region-0 "US"
category-era-0 "2000s"
asset-filename "Amtrak Building Sign"
category-class "SS"
kuid <kuid:313505:1523>
description "This is an Amtrak sign that can be placed on the side of any building."
username "Amtrak Building Sign"
thumbnail
author "Robert DelPrato"
organisation "Rob's Trainz"
contact-email
contact-website
license "This asset may be reskinned, but may not be redistributed without my consent."
kuid-table {
}

Here's the mesh technical details (appears to be nothing):

Poly Count: 0
Raw Texture Size: ~0 byte(s)
Number of Meshes: 0
Number of Textures: 0
Number of Attachment Points: 0
Number of Animations: 0
Number of Bones: 0

Here's what is inside the folder for this asset:

Any help would be appreciated to help me figure out what the problem is here. If anybody needs any other references to help solve the problem, please post.

EDIT-Also, the asset doesn't show up faulty in CMP, all seems to be well there.
