Trainz.luvr ships

[jmeinig]

Hi, I downloaded the Trainz.Luvr.com U.S. Navy carrier, battleships, and destroyers, but I have not been able to make any of them usable in TRS2006. I have experimented a lot with them for a long time. I have given them shadows, and new mesh tables. I have also gotten all of the dependencies and they do not have any errors. Please help me as I have wanted to use these ships in Trainz but have not been able to. Thank you for your time and help in advance.

The basic problem is that being old models they have features that will not work in TRS. But all is not lost. Looking at USS Arctic, the basic problem is that there is only one bogey attachment a.bog at the origin and that is attached to an object that is not a bogey. To cure this proceed as follows.

Use PEV's Attachment Maker and create two new attachment points a.bog0 at the bow and a.bog1 at the stern (I used the coordinates 0,-50,0 and 0,50,0 which kept the vessel at the original elevation of 6.5m)

Insert the following mesh table in the config file

mesh-table
{
  default
  {
    mesh                                "uss arctic_body/uss arctic_body.pm"
    auto-create                         1
  }
  
  attachments
  {
    mesh                                "uss arctic_body/attach_mesh.im"
    auto-create                         1
  }
}

Change the bogey kuid to <kuid:-10:149> and also change the kuid in the kuid-table.

Change category-region to US

You should now find it works I hope (I say I hope as I am using 2010). Although I haven't looked at them, I assume the other ships have the same problem.

Thank you Teddy, but for some reason only the Saratoga and the California work, all of the other ones show up, but are derailed in surveyor.

As I stated I've only tried USS Arctic and that works perfectly OK in 2010. Unfortunately I don't have 2006 installed so I don't think I can help you much more. Sorry.
