Interesting mesh issues came up when installing JR D-9's. Funky.

The second image (nonexisent file) is a simple fix. Edit in finder>throw any old picture in the folder>go into config>change the 'thumbnail.jpg' to the picture name you just added>submit edits
Lots of 3rd party assets will cause this, annoyingly.

I've not seen that error in the first pic, though, so I can't help you there. The Thumbnail one should work for that, though. Good luck.

Those are not the JR dash 9s.

Change the line where it says mesh_art_icon.tga in the config to mesh_art_icon.texture.

That error usually means that the file in question is mentioned in the config.txt as a .tga file as well as having a .texture.txt file.

Then something wasnt done correctly or you have a new problem unrelated to the first one you posted.

I've got a feeling that the problem was in the thumbnails container, which the fix for that is to remove the relevant .texture.txt file.

In the config I put 'mesh_art_icon.texture'. Maybe it is supposed to be 'mesh_art_icon.texture.txt'?

I will try that, Shane.

I removed mesh_art_icon.texture.txt to no avail.

Would this be correct?

yes, that would be use in a config file. do not use .texture.txt because once the asset is committed there is no texture.txt. the tga files are converted to .texture.

So what should that tag line look like?

Hang on a second. If I remember correctly, .texture references should not be present in a thumbnails container, which means that reference should now be .tga.

Shane

EDIT: Looks like certain references can be .texture, although I'm guessing that there's another reference elsewhere in the config.

Yeah, you're probably going to have to break this down...I'm not too good with scripting as it turns out!

I would hold on and see what else JR come up with at this stage.

here is a correctly configured thumbnails container

Code:

thumbnails
{
  0
  {
    width                             128
    height                             64
    image "mesh_art/mesh_art_icon.texture"
  }
  
  1
  {
    width                               240
    height                              180
    image "mesh_art/thumbnail.jpg"
  }
}
