I try to reskin a Walmart I found on the DLS, but whatever I change appears white in game.

Check the size of the texture file before you edit it and afterwards. If its smaller then its probably been saved with some sort of compression. Which graphics editor are you using?

Thanks John

:wave: Best way to do a reskin is to clone it first that way if you have any trouble's the one you downloaded is not ruined

Besides John's advice to make sure you aren't saving the texture in a non-supported format (non-compressed), make certain that your new texture file has exactly the same file name as the one you're trying to replace.

Before reskinning go to CMP and right click the unit/object you wish to reskin. Then click clone, then you have a backup of the original incase all goes pearshaped (like my computer did the other day :hehe Which graphics editing program are we talking about here? A number of graphics programs compress files when saved (by default) and that could cause a problem.

I always clone before I reskin.

Tried that the CCP come up with this:

The texture 'C:\Program Files\Auran\TC\editing/New Asset\entrance wall 256 256.tga' failed to load.

What does that mean?

All that my instructions are telling you is how to clone it in the CMP so you dont loose the original. Im not sure whats going on there as Im not in the know with Trainz Error Messages (waiting for advice on them myself :hehe

Once again, which texture editing program are you using?

Paint.Net is what I use

Not one I have loaded up. Is the file size the same before and after editing?

Thanks John
