peterdhicks class 222 problems

[tlowthion1]

Hi folks,
having some trouble with peter's class 222's in that none of my gangways appear in trainz. Content manager reports an error

"Warning: The file '\gangway.lm' is provided in LM format despite having no attachment points and no animation support. This may have a negative impact on performance."

I have recently updated this file, so that might be the problem. It may also be something to do with upgrading to TS2010. Anyone else had this problem?

I also have this problem in trainz 2012.

If you read it carefully, it is not an error, it is a warning.

Warnings do not prevent an asset from working.

The 2 ganways assets both retracted and extended don't even have a warning. But still do not appear.

That may be due to a different problem.

Have a look at http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=68294.

I think there may be some confusion about what is meant by the word 'gangways' on these units. Having studied the script and kuids for the dependancies on these class 222 units I have established that it means the corridor linking gangways between the coaches which is either 'extended' if coupled to another unit or 'retracted' if not coupled.
It is not a gangway at the doorways.

Shane is correct that the warning that the gangway mesh is in 'lm' format does not affect the operation of the gangways but if it annoys you this can be corrected by altering the references in the config file to call up the 'im' file and deleting the 'lm.txt' files in the gangway kuids. However this is not necessary for the operation of the gangways.
