Where has the bridge gone

[nahgallaco]

Bridge Stone 2t used to be a very big stone bridge with large stone arches over the track.
Sorry I can't post an image but the method detailed in the Forum is beyond me.

In the early days this bridge used to be a built-in kuid:-1:100611 and I have successfully moved it via CMP from earlier versions up to TS2009.
It won't go into TS12. All I get it track.
There is a "Bridge Stone 2t" built-in TS12 but it is not this one. I have changed its name so it won't conflict and tried to use the CMP to get it into TS12 but I haven't been successful.

For those who remember, it was featured in an early Tutorial (those of the - "and that's all there is to it" endings.)

How can I get this bridge into TS12?
Is it still a built-in under another name/kuid? (I can't find it.)
Does anyone know of a similar looking bridge I could use?
Thanks
Stuart.

You will need to copy the .ja files from TS2009/builtin to TS12/builtin, register the TS2009 serial number in the TS12 options, and perform an extended database repair.

After installing the bridge in TS12, open it for edit in explorer.
Convert all the .texture files using PEV's Images2TGA, and delete the .texture files .
Rename the .im file to default.im .
Rename the shadow folder to default_shadow .
Rename the .im file in the shadow folder to default_shadow.im .
Change the config.txt file to look like this

After committing there should be only 2 warnings left, one being the missing thumbnail.

Thanks for the suggestions.
My config file now looks like the one above and I fixed the thumbnails problem.
Now I get - Required tag 'trackdirections' was missing and has been set to default.
However, I still have only track floating above the river.
Maybe I have not followed the suggestions correctly.
I'll keep trying.

Could you please give me the correct wording for entry into the trainzoptions?
I assume that is the location of the TS12 options you mentioned.
I don't seem to be able to get it right.

 

[Scottbe8]

No, it does not go into trainzoptions.txt.

Go to the Trainz Launcher and click Options on the left, between Start and Content. That is where you paste the key for TS2009.

Thanks.
Managed to follow the instructions and they seemed to work.
However, I still have just track floating over the chasm.
The bridge is a built-in in 2009 so it should have been installed as per your suggestions but it didn't.
It appears as an Auran kuid:-1:100611 in my TS12 but doesn't show up in Surveyor.
I am sorry to lose this bridge as it has been in my layouts since the very earliest days.
Thanks for the help.
Stuart.
