Thomas's Friends not working

[Jammy0002]

Hello,

As some on this forum I've grown up with Thomas, and the retro freak I am I've downloaded him and his friends onto Trainz. Problem is half the locomotives don't work. At first none of them worked, so I redownloaded them from the 2009 website and half of them now work. But Gordon, Edward and Percy are still being stubborn.

This is the missing dependencies list for Gordon.

Error: Attachment point animated-mesh (load) in 'queues\load-coal' was not found.

I just downloaded Gordon2009.zip from http://si3d2009.jimdo.com/. It unzipped into Gordon.cdp and Gordon Dependencies.cdp. Install/commit showed both to have some missing dependencies but they are all on the DLS. After downloading them, Gordon is without errors or missing dependencies and works perfectly in TS2010. The loco is Gordon the Big Express Engine Baked,<kuid:268447:2377> and has 21 dependencies. TS2009 with SP4 is the same as TS2010 so you shouldn't have any problems it you have the latest download. Your list is mostly Warnings which can normally be ignored since they are not errors. Your only error is the load-coal effect requiring an animated mesh. The kuid:268447:2377 version that I downloaded has the load-coal queue but doesn't callout an animated mesh so doesn't have that error. Suggest you download the latest version from the link I quoted and try again.

I've downloaded this version before to no result. Reinstalled it again, looked at the missing dependency and there was one, the Gresley Cab which I had a look and I do have it installed strangely. So whatever missing dependencies you mean I don't know about unfortunately.

 

[SodorProductions]

Those aren't missing dependencies...that's just meaningless texture.txt errors. Had that happen plenty of times and Gordon has worked.

 

[Jammy0002]

Well baring that in mind then, what could be the problem I'm having? As half of them work, I know Gordon's a snob and might think he's too good for my Trainz but he's my favourite.

 

[rweber95]

I'll ask again, is your downloaded version Gordon the Big Express Engine Baked,<kuid:268447:2377>?

Bob Weber

 

[SodorProductions]

I assume it's the 06 version. The texture.txt errors usually happen with the 06 range, at least for me they do.

Try opening the asset in Content Creator Plus to see if anything is missing.

 

[hert]

The missing textures you can ignore. But there is an error that will cause them not to show up. You need to open the asset by doing "edit in explorer". Find and open the Config.txt file. Scroll down to where it says load

it will say something like this:

Coal
{




}

^delete that from the config.txt, the coal and the brackets and the stuff between the brackets. Then commit and you should see them in game.

hope that helps,
hert:wave:

I'll tell you again.

Hiya Hert,

Removed load coal from the config on the 06 version, but unfortunately no result there either.

And SodorProductions I got a message about queues not being available with the tag traincar so I deleted queues entirely but no result there either. There was no other messages about anything being missing other than the textures.

 

[SodorProductions]

There might be an answer for your problem on the SI3D forum. Though the place has been recently seen a fair share of rule-breaking newbies, and as far as I know, after some major spam attacks accounts have to be approved before you can even post. Sorry I can't really be more of a help to you.

I have si3d's lady that i wanted to work in trainz 12. While trying to commit it has 3 errors that i cannot find and or fix here is a snapshot of the error. need the info as quickly as possible. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...00199652.68962.100001379501041&type=1&theater

Sodor Island 3d just updated to Trainz 12 so they came out with brand new models. Go download them if you haven't already. They're really nice and they all worked fine for me!

 

[johndalby]

And those aren't missing dependencies per say, those are problems with the config file. You can sort of trick the program into letting them run if you mess with the config file a bit. If you don't know how to yet, open up the problem engines for edit, open up the errors list, find where the errors lie (you only have one error and that's whats preventing him from running properly) Once you fix that error, he'll run. Open up the edit in explorer function in the right click menu, open up the config file, locate the line of text that matches the one in the error, and carefully delete it, taking care not to delete anything important or leave anything in that could mess him up. then save the config file, close everything up, check his errors list, if the red error is gone then he will run. Commit him and close everything up and start Trainz. Hope this helps! (i've done this with all my broken locomotives and they all work great with no trouble.)

 

[enginnerkay]

I actually have 3 errors according to the image.

 

[enginnerkay]

2 smoke errors and one load coal issue

Hi:

I pay attention to warnings..Maybe a reality thing..

I found and or fixed every (even built-in) 2010 Gordon (about 28) dependences
no warnings / errors.:Y:
Had to post one "warning" and had answer with in one hour.:clap:

Learn how to track it down and fix it.
You might learn something.

Used Painshop pro v8.10 ,Notebook and AssetX v2.2

PS I don't even use "Thomas" Did not exist when I was a lad.:'(

 

[Hornby11]

I need help with trainz 2009 Thomas content. I have been a big fan of Thomas and downloaded Thomas content from si3d but have no idea how to install it to trainz 2009 any help appreciated

 

[trainboy200]

I need help with gordon 2006 but says missing setting regulator please help

 

[Gameoholic1994]

If you allow us to discuss MISSING dependencies, then I can't get a couple of dependencies installed. They're for the 2009 James of Sodor Island 3D. My Trainz content manager keeps saying an error: Unable to open CDP file '-----' for reading. Because of my problem, I can't get the following dependencies for 2009 James: <kuid:268447:2428> for the tender, and <kuid:326537:5030> for the engine. I’m also missing these 2 kuids for one of the dependencies for Mavis the Quarry Engine from The Sudrian Community: <kuid:613914:2107> and <kuid:613914:2108>. They’re for the CGI Mavis Lamp, which when installed, it will also fix the same dependency for Charlie the Shunting Engine from Simply Sudrian 3D (http://www.simplysudrian3d.co.nr/), and it will also fix the "CGI Thomas Lamp" from the dependencies of Oliver the Great Western Engine 2014 from SkarloeyTheGreat on DeviantArt ( https://skarloeythegreat.deviantart.com/art/Oliver-the-Great-Western-Engine-Release-469996080 ).
