Required container 'thumbnails' ERROR, not Warning!

[kdescente]

Hello all, I have been trying to fix an Error in one of my contents for over a week now with zero result. Normally, "Required container 'thumbnails' is missing" registers as a Warning and I can still use the asset. However in this case, the same message is showing up as an Error, and the asset can not be used as a result. It is CP Well2B by author 'cnr', KUID <kuid:95761:15374>. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

That will be the case with assets above a certain trainz-build. Normally, the fix is to add the thumbnails container in the config.txt as follows: (if unsure, contact the creator and get them to sort it).

The code required is:

thumbnails
{
0
{
width 240
height 180
image "$screenshot$.jpg"
}
}

Replace "$screenshot$.jpg with the actual screenshot file as it appears in the asset folder. If one does not exist, it will need to be created to the width and height shown above in .jpg format.

I have a fixed version of this asset at build 2.9, but I can no longer recall what I did to fix it. The original has significant errors, so the fixes might have been extensive. I can post my fixed config if you think that would help.

From memory if its missing its a warning, if any reference to it is there its an error ie wrong .jpg name etc.

From memory also, it's trainz-build 3.7 that also introduced the error for missing thumbnails table, although it may be a couple of versions earlier.
