updating splines..One more Time. I think I got it. almost

[xcrossi]

think I almost got it but still messed_up


asset is cloned an called up in CC. CC calls for a mesh-table but won't make one.

AssetX won't make one ether, says not required.



Use the examples from Post "Updating scenery assets to 2.9 for TS2009 and later versions"



I copy and pasted example mesh-table into config.txt

and edit to match *.im name


CC calls for a track and track name but won't except name
and won't make a track what ever.


so I cut and paste one in sample from same post.
and edit the mesh length per Train Mesh Viewer.


asset then shows no errors but only part of the asset shows


I can see that the config.txt is not showing the folder that the missing part is in.


So..I think the question is, what do to config to make it happen.

copy of config.txt edited to save space.

See! I can put things together but it gets a little screwy sometimes.

Gonna need a week or two on that one - what works for a simple one mesh spline doesn't do it for that one. There's a chain mesh, then inside the subfolder is a pole mesh, need some kind of end cap tag to get the pole to generate once between each repetition of the chain. How to do that I have no idea since nobody ever wrote any guides for the new spline format, so it's going to take a lot of trial and error.

Ill poke around some more to.

Okey-dokey
