Problem with Paul's IOW terrier

[hholdenaz]

Paul's IOW terrier has this error: Error:

Texture 'terrier_br_iow_long_bunker_body/digit_6.texture' is missing or could not be loaded for mesh 'terrier_br_iow_long_bunker_body\terrier_br_iow_long_bunker_body.im'.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Hello? I hate to be a disturbance but unless this error is fixed, I can't run the terrier.

But those aren't the same: I'm talking about the terrier made by Paul Hobbs.

Same method mate.

Same method mate.

Can you please explain it in words though? I'm asking because I find it hard to understand the journal.

Does anyone else have a solution?

Can someone please help me out?

EDIT: And Waluigi, Alfred's config isn't the same as the terrier so it didn't help.

It looks like its a texture referenced in the mesh but not there. Since its been working before we can assume its not used so rename a copy of numbers_0.texture.txt to digit_6.texture.txt and that clears the problem.

Long term perhaps Paulhobbs could release a corrected version.

Your constant gimmie pigging is major reason why I don't post much any more and why I don't release anything new. The terrier worked in the version it was designed for and now it's broken. Get over it or build your own one.

I think these older items do get cleaned up over time with the N3V DLS clean up if nothing else. I think I have a few very old items that to be honest I'd prefer to be dropped form the DLS or at least made invisible. The Trainz environment I think is changing and I sometimes feel that good content creators can be put off by demands rather than the occasional polite request which is a pity to say the least. Thank you at least for the Blender library of parts which has made my life easier besides your other content much of which has been reskinned many times.

Note to hholdenaz Europe is at least five hours ahead so your post at 10:28 pm EST would be around 3:12 am in Europe and its mainly Europeans who run UK steam items. Your second post twenty minutes later might be interpreted as being a little impatient. One reason I held back responding on reading your post was the level of service you were looking for was not one I care to provide. However you have an answer now so your immediate problem should be solved. The other issue of being able to communicate without offending people is more long term and I suspect you might do better phrasing your requests more gently.

I believe Paul made this loco for 2004 so it follows that there will likely be issues with it in later versions of Trainz.
Paul is an incredibly helpful person if asked in a polite way so maybe that way you phrase your 'requests' might help you if you were to think about how you are putting them and how they might be received.
You are after all, asking somebody to spend time on your behalf for free so a little patience would be in order, you cannot expect a creator to drop everything and concentrate on your small problem.
A search might have produced the answer you was offered here, or a look in the Content Creation section might have shed some light on it if you had posted the problem as these things crop up on a fairly regular basis.

Blessings,
