Texture xxxxx.bmp is not a power of 2 ?

[BigJohn101]

Is there a guide somewhere to help with correcting "faulty" downloaded items in CMP ? I searched the manual for TRS2006, but I didn't see anything about how to correct "faulty" downloaded items.

These seem to be the main errors:

- Texture 'xxxxxx.bmp' is not a power of 2, please resize it.
- Could not load texture 'xxxxxx.tga'.
- The primary and alpha texture are not the same
- Progressive meshes are no longer supported by CCP. Though these meshes may work in Trainz, it is recommended that you switch to a LOD mesh.
- Unable to load animation file 'xxxxx.kin' (no resource).
- The tag 'xxxxxx' is not permitted within this container.

Thanks for any help.

the "XXX.bmp not power of 2 blah blah blah" is because one of the textures is not a square with sides 2,4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, etc pixels. You have to use a texture editor to fix that.

Hope this helps.

There's a guide at www.rail-sim.co.uk. Disregard that last post about textures having to be square though, that's not true...

Paul is right about this. It doesn't have to be square. It has to be a rectangle with sides a power of 2. I believe that the maximum ratio of the sides is 8:1
