unable to load shadow mesh

[trainboy4449]

hello
on most of the locos,rolling stock,etc. trainz refuses to load the shadow mesh .if someone would help me on how to fix this or all meshes in general i would be greatful

Short version:

Download PEV's Quickshadows tool, create a shadow mesh for each of the bad assets, and use CCPlus to add the mesh.

will it work in trainz 12?

 

[shaneturner12]

It should do - be aware though that it may create a large box-like shadow.

it dosen't work for me at all:'( ,all it does is give me errors and will not let me close the window

 

[shaneturner12]

Errors?

That shouldn't happen.

What errors are you getting?

Shane

 

[trainboy4449]

an error box pops up with numbers on it ,my problem is trainz saying"unable to load_____________

 

[shaneturner12]

You will need to use Task Manager to close the program.

Did you read the tutorials given on PEV's site?

[trainboy4449]

it says only for rolling stock,i'm working on a engine bogey

 

[trainboy4449]

i can't edit in CCP because trainz will reject it because it has progressive mesh

 

[shaneturner12]

That problem can be fixed using the PM2IM tool.

Shane

 

[trainboy4449]

used that to,same issue:'(

Sounds like a problem with your system.

If possible, can you provide screenshots of the errors shown? Someone (possibly me) can then have a look.

If you are not sure how to do screenshots, use Alt and PrintScreen on the error window, then paste it into Paint or a similar program.

You will need to upload it to a site like ImageShack to get the required link to post here.

Also, what is your operating system?

i'm sorrry but i'm not going to use those tools:n: .if there was another sollution could u please tell me

 

[shaneturner12]

Those tools are currently the only way of fixing these issues, unless you are the creator of the assets.
