RDCs showing interior in exterior view

[acyunczyk]

Hello,

I'm having issues with the new RDCs showing the interiors while the camera is in external views. Apparently, the sides of the cars show as semi-transparent. Screenshots attached. Is this an issue with my settings or the cars themselves? This isn't an issue for any other equipment, including the old RDCs available on the DLS.

The usual cause of this is a reskinning attempt which introduced even one pixel on the alpha mask that is neither 255,255,255 nor 0,0,0. This causes the game to treat the texture map as translucency rather than transparency. Since the asset appears to have been reskinned to B&O, I suspect the error happened when the texture map was being edited. A similar possibility is that the texture map .tga was simply saved without its alpha layer, or the reskinner didn't understand how the texture.txt files were meant to be configured.

I believe you are looking at <KUID:327871:100502>, which appears to have this effect even in its thumbnail. The author is @fourteen, and it is an authorized reskin (all my original content is authorized for reskinning or any other use).

The method I used to get shiny stainless skins can be problematic in later Trainz releases.
