SD70M-2 Digit Texture Error

[frodosquez]

I'm trying to get SPORBUST's NS SD70M-2s to work in TS12; the only error I have left and can't seem to fix is:

Error: Texture 'mesh_body/numbers\digit_3a.texture' is missing or could not be loaded for mesh 'mesh_body\numbers\numbers.im'.
Error: Texture 'mesh_body/numbers\digit_4a.texture' is missing or could not be loaded for mesh 'mesh_body\numbers\numbers.im'.
Error: Texture 'mesh_body/numbers\digit_5a.texture' is missing or could not be loaded for mesh 'mesh_body\numbers\numbers.im'.
Error: Texture 'mesh_body/numbers\digit_6a.texture' is missing or could not be loaded for mesh 'mesh_body\numbers\numbers.im'.

ALL the .txt files are correctly named, and within the .txt files are the correct references to the .tga files.

Check the numbers.im reference in the config. It must be the first, and named "default".

The body folder is usually next in line... like this...

arn_data-113556

number_low "4000"
number_high "4029"
}

You can copy digit_xx.tga and digit_xx.texture.txt file sets from any other loco to fix those errors. Alternatively, you can create a small .bmp texture (white square, 16x16 pixels) file with Windows Paint. Make multiple copies naming them digit_3a.bmp thru digit_6c.bmp. Also create digit_3a.texture.txt thru digit_6c.texture.txt files. These digit_xx textures are merely place holders and are replaced with the actual digits from the alphanumbers folder when the loco is placed on a track.

I tried both and still have the same errors.

Is there a "digit_3a.texture.txt" in the "mesh_body/numbers/" folder. Also is there a "digit_3a.texture" in that folder? I have both of these assets and they both work in T12. Run the "numbers.im" mesh through PM2IM with the strip textures checked and see what happens.

I did that and it's working just fine now! Thanks a whole bunch, Johnny!
