Replacing old couplers.

[jameswiggin]

Hi guys, I'm enjoying bringing up obsolete and old asset builds. (some as old as version 1.3) to todays build. I noticed a lot of old rolling stock have an ugly square coupler with no detail. Can you replace this with another newer KUID?

if it an attached coupler via a kuid yes
if its part of the mesh no

You replace the bogey kuid in the config file, with another better detailed bogey kuid.
I presume these you speak of are Paintshed sliding trucks ?
You can obsolete all the Paintshed trucks ... I did it ... but I kinda ferget' how I done dooded it.
I thnk I altered the built in Paintshed truck kuids, involved in all the paintshed railcars, or something like that.
I think there are @ 5 of them, or more.

To obsolete an asset, add its kuid to the obsolete-table of the replacement.

The bogeys in question are: <kuid:-1:100063> interfrigo van bogey. version 1.3 OLD SCHOOL lol

Well I placed more detailed ones on the Worker Cabooses and they are basically in the caboose itself. I presume the attachment points are off and how do I adjust them if at all?

Sounds to me like an attachment point mismatch. It's not possible to fix attachment points without access to the original mesh.
