Re-Releasing SPORBUST Content

[fran1]

This is the bit that I couldn't get my head round.
Open your 2010 folder, open the bin folder, open cmp data, open tools, open open with.
You'll find pm2im is there, copy and paste another 1 there, rename it AssetX.
Do the same with Pevs other tools you may use.
You can now open your assets in CM with any of those tools, r/click select open with, then select which tool you want to open it with.

And to be honest i am eager to build something but i need to now figure out whats needed for 10 and 12 --

Frank, I think you could make a lot of people happy if you did some of those new Gensets:

http://green.autoblog.com/2007/02/0...ad-unveils-ultra-low-emission-diesel-locomot/

They are becoming very widespread now and I think they'd be popular with the community.

Cheers,

Dave

Its a time thing I mean think of all the content I have. I also work soley alone now since my sound guy just went to college so If someone can do a document of the steps then I will start doing the updates but working alone it will take a little time to get my site up, content copied and lnked to new site its alot of work . And to be honest i am eager to build something but i need to now figure out whats needed for 10 and 12 and i have only got 2 things to work in 12. My older up gp60 and my ttx cars and vans. I did try the pev tools but still have had no luck

I've never really gotten AssetX to do anything for me, but I've done quite a bit with pm2im, images2tga, and quickshadows. And I take it back, it was a bunch of the 2004 rrmods stuff I updated, not your stuff.

It takes a community...

Just thinking about it Frank, you don't seem to be a manual labor type person. I think your creative strengths would be well worth the time saved by using a third party system of updating content...

Take in a few updated assets & see what was done...a small minority of problems (specgrey textures and capitalized files for example), are mesh problems however most others involve transfer of files, file filtering & conversions, resizing .tga's & alpha's together, powers of 2, etc., that can be done by anyone.

Put the files on the website marked 'beta,' let the feedback tell you if everything is right. After a while of no issues, release it as "updated."

Download your CSX Dash-840B #5942 kuid2 113556 60059 3 & import it into Content Manager, right click & gander at the list of errors (I think there are about 62). See if you can resolve the specgrey texture issue...you'll get a good idea of what the subject is...

 

[SPORBUST]

I dont think im gunna convert any of it. It all works fine in 06 and thats what it was intended for. Whatever the programmers changed along the way is on them not me. I will create new stuff for 10. Is philc still around or did he retire ?

 

[H222]

Bit of both Frank, he's retired from trainz but his site is still payed for

You don't have too...

Well Frank, the idea here was to let you know about the problems and that there are working updated versions available. Thousands of Trainzers wish to be able to use them.

Lots of people are *offering* to provide the fixed TS 10 / 12 content for the web site. Would save lots of duplication of effort.

I've already fixed the items you've uploaded for 2006, for example.

Yay welcome back! ALthough I have never downloaded or used any of your content, I have seen pictures of it on a website(can't remember )
and I am AMAZED by the detail you put on these locomotives. I am now getting the BNSF ES44 from your website. Cant wait to try it out!

 

[Amtrak72]

okay I'm having a problem here. I installed the ES44 but it said it was missing dependancies, so I downloaded the horn file that was on the page(I got the C44 horn) but it still showed "missing dependancies". I checked errors and warnings, and it said it this exactly-
"This asset uses an obsolete trains-build number. Trainz-build numbers below 2.7 are no longer supported". So does this mean it won't work?

And is the BNSF ES44 thats currently available on WCT right now...is it for TS:2006, or is it for TS: 2010.

I have TS: Mac which is compatible with TS:2009 and TS:2010 content.

Here is my trains build number- 47770

Any help?

"This asset uses an obsolete trains-build number. Trainz-build numbers below 2.7 are no longer supported". So does this mean it won't work?

Nope, it will work fine. That's a 'Warning' not an error, and arguably the most meaningless warning (from the end user's point of view) since 'Please change the unsupported mesh'...

[Amtrak72]

actually here is another problem with this, when I go into my rail yard, I can't see the actual locomotive. It's "mesh" can't be seen.

 

[SPORBUST]

couple tips .... my page where you downloaded the loco says TRS 2006 .... another is I dont came here as often as I peruse my own forums so you may post there and I might see it sooner. But to answer your question ...... all my stuff is for 2006 only atm

 

[cascaderailroad]

I see your site is beginning to take shape, again ... if you have lost content, I am sure others here can help you get it back up again.

I really liked your TTX cars, and other railcars, and the ES44 horn that was previously posted on your site.

Great to have you back again ! Thanks !

Well, I have all the stuff you have up for download on your site working in TS12, it took me the better part of a day but I did it. Also, if you're looking for more stuff to put up on your TRS2006 page, look for your NS SD70M-2s and all your SD70ACes.

P.S. I love all of your content and use it in most of my sessions!

Lost content? Naa I have it 4 times over but thank you. The TTX cars will be up tonight or tomorrow and all my vans that some how made it into 12

I may be doing some new paints on the vans soon to and will have my spine cars up as well. The web site is taking shape just a lot of work but theres a few things there for download now

Wish I could say that lol. I have given up on 12 for now and am looking more towards 10 if I get any thing working. So far nothing in either one but all works in 06 great.....The NS sd70m-2's yes that was a sureshot paint job and he did a nice job as allways. Miss the dude he was a very good skinner for me. Hard to find guys like that. Also going to have his NS SD70M up soon that I never released. Yes the Aces are coming soon. Updating this new site I just said gees I have to much stuff and how did I make it all lol (crazy)

I remember a long time ago getting a bunch of your stuff to work in 2004, and then the hard drive failing recently, me going to sporbust.com to get it again, and then it showing "Account Suspended". I probably looked like . It's really great that your stuff is back up, I find myself checking your new website like my e-mail . The NS SD70M-2s and SD40-2s I think were one of the first things I got for TRS, I had the SD40-2 in approximately 103 sessions. I lost them with my hard drive, so I'm glad the NS SD40-2 is up, that is one essential asset.

I need a favor Derm. Some of my vans packs on the dls wont dl that I need for my ttx and spines. I was able to dl 5 packs but theres many i cant dl for some reason. They are there just wont dl. I want to get them from you if you have them so I can host on my site because when you load the spines right now it only loads the 48 foot containers trailers. Mainly a 48 foot van pacl 113556:300000:1 or 2.

 

[SPORBUST]

nm I got it to dl after 2 hours of trying

now I just need 300667 if you got it. I probably have on an old harddrive some where if you dont
