That's Odd... (Dalmunzie Route)

[Vern]

...when I created and uploaded my Dalmunzie narrow gauge route, the hills were covered in a lovely golden brown texture representing the heather, as can be seen in the picture on the DLS. The last couple of times I ran it, the textures were present and correct. However when I loaded it again on the laptop this morning and again on the main PC tonight, the glorious golden hills have changed to a sullen shade of dark green, completely unrepresentative of the area. I haven't touched or edited anything, I haven't downloaded any texture updates (I think it is one of the Gras textures, 42 or 43 maybe) so what the heck has caused the corruption?

Can anyone who has the route check if the same thing has happened to their copy and some suggestion as to what has gone on here would be...interesting.

Had a similar problem with updates of Gras 35, 46 and a few others a while back all turned green. I spent about 5 days replacing some on my route. there was a thread a while back about it, Just checked your route, it's gras 41 now kuid2:68787:21626 and it's changed here as well, looks like another update has slipped in somewhere, just checked in 2009 and gras 41 is still golden there.
Phew who needs agro like this more than likely I have it on my route as well being a mountain area.

Edit: just opened gras 41 in explorer and it's definitely green in TS12.

That's a pain. I think there may be a JVC golden/dry texture which I can swap it with, will then have to upload a new version and obsolete the original. The route I'm working on at present has another Gras texture so think I will replace that with another.

Okay, stupid question but how do I obsolete the old route and upload the fixed version?

I tried uploading the amended version but cmp threw it out telling me the item was already on the DLS.

I then tried changing the KUID suffix from 1 to 2 to mark it as a new version but cmp refused to commit, not recognising the different KUID number.

After a forum search, I tried putting an entry in the Obsolete Table section but the item still refuses to commit.

So how on earth do I upload a route which I have had to update through no fault of my own, but which has been trashed due to someone messing about with a previously default (TRS2006 - TS2010) terrain texture?

It's enough to drive me back to Railworks...

Right click create new version, which gives it a kuid2: which obsoletes the original.

I would think there will be some odd looking routes on the DLS with these wrong textures, surprised there haven't been more people posting about it.

Thanks Malc, uploading now. As you say strange no one else has spotted the change, it's not even subtle as up close it looks like evergreen leaves on the ground, not even grass like.
