Valdecuna's LAAES units. Has anyone ever made this work?

[whecsailorjr]

Hi all
Off and on I have tinkered with these series that Valdecuna made. I have NEVER been able to work out all of hte issues. Has anyone out there yet been successful? If so, please tell me what you did? This wagon series are beautiful ( In certain 3d program) but I have not been able to get the bugs worked out for trainz. His other works run beautifully, and are great assets. This set though UGGGHHHHH.

If you are referring to these wagons from the website STR: Renfe Laaes MA6 1435-1668mm with a build 2.9:
https://www.spaintrainzrutas.com/download/index.php?dlid=603

They all have the error that they are missing a texture.
There are 8 models of the wagon for both 1435mm track and 1668mm track.
They have 4 Lods and all of them are missing the texture: hoja1bump.texture

These cars can be fixed in two different ways:
-1- With an image editor program you need to make a tga normal map or Bump texture of the tga image called: hoja1.tga , when you have it you will need to name it: hoja1bump.tga , later you need to make a text file calling it: hoja1bump.texture.txt and inside you have to put:
Primary=hoja1bump.tga
Tile=st

-2- You need a program called IM Editor.
You have to open the four meshes and they have about 18 textures and looking one by one find where it says inside a red box Bump texture : hoja1bump.texture and delete it with the red X.

Either of the two methods work, if you don't make mistakes.

If you don't understand anything in everything I've said I recommend that you delete the cars and enjoy others that don't have errors.

Hi Frank , I found IM Editor at:

SOFTWARE | The Huntington Shops

thebroughamgamer.wixsite.com

They are supporting it because of the risk of going to the original site.
I gave it a try and it WORKED AMAZINGLY GREAT!!! Thank you so very much.

Over the next few months this series will be updated. In fact, there is a lot of material that needs to be updated.
