Problem with the 800mm rack track

[hholdenaz]

There's a problem with the 800mm rack track. For some reason, although it's installed, it won't show up in game. Here's a picture of what I mean:

Can someone please help me out?

Check the asset in CM and see if it doesn't have any errors.

The asset may have some texture mapping issues or perhaps there's a mesh problem.

I've seen this before but I never bothered to figure out what was wrong. I just deleted the broken asset and went on from there.

Actually, it has no faults. Double-checked and the earlier version had faults, but the new one did not.

When updating the asset, all information for displaying the track were removed fron the config.
Here is a config fixing the updated configs for the tracks with and without the rack.

Thanks Peter.

But now I have a new problem with the LMS Roundhouse. Here's what I mean:

As you can see, some tracks are not showing up. Does anyone know what to do?

 

[p-dehnert]

The problem is the Turntable Track <kuid2:68236:38000:2>.
Add the following mesh-table to the config.txt

mesh-table
{
  default
  {
    mesh                                "turntable_track.im"
    auto-create                         1
  }
}

With this fix the track will be visible, but there is another problem with this track -- the mesh is constructed incorrectly and as a result overlaps part of the pit.

Fix: Replace the turntable track (<kuid:68236:38000>) by another one.
examples:
Austin superbendy Track only <kuid2:316:38003:2> (TS2010 and TS12 builtin)
Austin superbendy Track only-TRS2010 <kuid:439337:100525>

Thanks for the help Peter. Now, although I hate to be a pushover, there's been this problem with Tugboat Marion that I had with TS 2009: it's too far above the trackbed. I'd take a picture of what I mean, but I can't for 2 reasons:

1. The computer TS 2009 doesn't work anymore and I plan to replace it soon.

2. (Loud voice) IT'S TRS 2004!!!

(Calms down)

Sorry about that: it's just that for some reason, TS 12 doesn't have compatibility mode.

 

[hholdenaz]

Unfortunately Peter, the roundhouse no longer shows up. What should i do?

 

[p-dehnert]

You have to add the mesh-table to the config.txt of the turntable track and not to the one of the roundhouse.

Unfortuntely, despite following the advice given before, I'm now once again having trouble with the 800mm track; once more, it won;t show up in game. Does anyone have a solution to this?

 

[hholdenaz]

Come on, it's been a more than a day and I really need help with this!
