Wheelset

Does anyone know why this wheelset shows up like this? Thanks

Looks like the TGA for the side frame is messed up... or someone used and alpha channel to make it disappear.

 

[josefdoc]

So how would i fix the problem?

Thanks

I think you will find that the bogie sides were not linked to the B.R.main dummy. If this is the case only the person with the gmax file can fix it. I suggest you swap bogies.

As I can see side frame outline I would say that there is ordinary texture used as alpha, try to delete Alpha=... line in texture.txt file related to the side frame mesh.

 

[josefdoc]

When I open the side frames texture file, I don't see Alpha=, It says Primary=sideframes.tga
Tile=st

Thanks

If you really want some help with this problem you need to post the kuid number of this bogey and the site you got it from if it wasn't from the DLS or builtin.

It was from the DLS.

You gotta be kidding. I put Category - Train Bogey in my CM and get 3482 kuids listed. Which one are you having a problem with. If you want help with a specific item, be specific, post the kuid number.

The kuid is <kuid2:45681:50001:1>

I downloaded it into TS2010 and it commited without errors. I put it on the builtin PRR 50ft Boxcar and it works fine.

They don't work in TS2009 SP3 though. Do you know how I could fix them? The same problem is occuring with the 36x70 trucks made by the same author.

 

[rweber95]

Does this happen in both DirectX and OpenGL?
Another thing to try is open the kuid for Edit in CCP and expand the Mesh - Default to see what the bogey looks like there.
A third option is to use PEV's Mesh Viewer 2 to look at the mesh.

I don't have directx downloaded yet, what version should I download? And what folder should I install it to?

Thanks

 

[josefdoc]

I downloaded directX but when I load it Trainz dosen't work and gives me an error message.

I faced same issue in my TRS2006 on W7 64bit, some bogey sides which were using alphas were not appearing in the game. I also faced randomly white locs or wagons or even cabs, I think it is related to DX since in OpenGL it showed correctly (but lagged unusually). So far I didn't solve it and I can say it makes me pretty mad, I would like to spend time playing game and NOT hunting stupid incompatibility bugs.

Yea I don't know why it's not working right and I tried open gl and it works fine except when you try to take a screenshot it turns black.
