Faulty PBR Texture Downloads from DLS

Hello,

I am encountering faulty downloads with PBR textures from the DLS. I am receiving the following error:

! <kuid:473136:103225> LoadBitmapFile> failed to read image file: /Volumes/Trainz/TRS19/cache/temp/copytempsrc3cdawdbx579/normal.png (size 7084624)
- <kuid:473136:103225> Failed to load child images for texture file: 'normal.texture.txt'

I've opened for editing "good" assets and "bad" assets by the same author and the only difference I can find is that the "bad" assets all have Anisotropy=1 config variable in the normal.texture.txt file.

Any suggestions on how to correct this?

Respectfully,
Shaun
 
Just downloaded that texture to check, but I'm not getting any errors at all. Perhaps try deleting the asset, do a database repair and download it again?

Open the normal.texture.txt file, and check it is configured as such. I believe the -1 is an glitch in TSR19, as I have encountered the same problem, however, the asset does not show faulty

Primary=normal.png
Alpha=normal.png
Tile=st
NormalMapHint=normalmap
AlphaHint=semitransparent

The texture has anisotropy=1, not -1 in the normal.texture.txt file. I'm not sure what anisotropy does, but the allowable values are 0,1,2,4,8,16 as far as I know. -1 would be an error, but as I said, that's not what the .texture.txt file has in it.

Are you saying that anisotropy=1 itself is the glitch, and that the line should be deleted?
 
Dinorius / John,

I've tried the DBR and XDBR approach with no luck (multiple times). The below is from my latest attempt today:

; <kuid:473136:103201> Searching asset 'PBR Ground Mud B01'
; <kuid:473136:103201> Downloading <kuid:473136:103201>

+ <NULL> Complete

I've found two common themes for the files coming up faulty:
1. normal.texture.txt has anisotropy=1 configuration, and
2. Watching the download/install the normal.texture.txt file is never being written to the cache/temp/...folder.

Have tried cloning the asset, removing the anisotropy=1, saving, and submitting the asset but the "new" asset is faulty also. The asset png files all open in Photoshop with no problem.

Any ideas...

I will take a look at those this evening, and give you a heads up on what i found, if anything. What build are you using?

Thanks, John
 
John,

Trainz+
Build - 106755 (Mac)

While troubleshooting today I installed your PBR Ground Rubble 34 Construction Debri <kuid:473138:105094> without any problem.

Appreciate the help.

I uploaded a newer version, and it should be available within 24 hrs. The normal.texture.txt should be as such:

Primary=normal.png
Alpha=normal.png
Tile=st
NormalMapHint=normalmap

Remove these two lines, if present:

AlphaHint=semitransparent
Anisotropy=1

John
 
Shaun,

I downloaded <kuid:473136:103201> PBR Ground Mud B01 today and it installed with no errors or warnings whatsoever. The normal.texture.txt file had no lines for AlphaHint or Anisotropy, so nothing to delete there. This was on a PC.

Could your problem be a Trainz/Mac issue? (only wild speculation, I'm not a computer whiz and have no experience on Macs).

I get this error inconsistently. I tried one (Soil Texture 33) with no issues, next day tried Ground Dirt Soil A31 with this error "normal.png failed to load". I've used dozens of your textures and they are excellent, among the most useful assets available. Files look the same to me. I can't see any problem to fix. Just can't get it to work.

Many Thanks,
smyers
 
Thanks for the complement, I'll look into the texture and see if there is a problem. Thanks for the feedback.

John,

I'm seeing the same error. Some textures load fine others come up with the "failed to load normal.png" error. In looking at the "good" vs "faulty" normal.png's the faulty ones are RGB/16bit while the "good" normal.png files are RGB/8bit files. The 16bit normal.png files open without an error in Photoshop without any problem.

Hope this helps in your troubleshooting. I really like your PBR textures. Hope we can get to the bottom of this...

Hey John,

Well, I just tried three of your new textures and, unfortunately, am still getting an inconsistent result. Ground Rubble 29 Construction Debris and Soil Texture 32 loaded fine with no issues. However Ground Rubble 39 Urban Trash (which describes my routes) gave the same normal.png failed to load error. The two that work OK look great. They'll see wide use over here, as will your previously D/Led textures. They're really fantastic.

Many Thanks,
smyers
 
Shaun & Smyers, thanks for the input. I have uploaded the modified normal files which I have re-saved with a different graphics program instead of Gimp. The files should be available 24/36 hrs.

Thanks again,
John


 
Hey John,

Today I D/Led Ground Dirt Soil A31 and Ground Rubble 59 Urban Trash. Both loaded without issue and look terrific! Many thanks for these great textures. They'll be widely used around here.

Best,
smyers
 
John,

Downloaded the revised files. Like SMyers had successful installs with:

PBR Ground Dirt Soil A31 (8bit/RGB normal.png)
PBR Soil Texture 78 (8bit/RGB normal.png)
PBR Ground Rubble 59 Urban Trash (8bit/RGB normal.png)

Following items were faulty with each having a RGB/16Bit normal.png file.

PBR Dirt Mud 17
PBR Rock 48
PBR Rock 49
PBR Soil Texture 70
PBR Soil Texture 76

Respectfully,
Shaun
 
Thanks for the feedback:
PBR Dirt Mud 17
PBR Rock 48
PBR Rock 49
PBR Soil Texture 70
PBR Soil Texture 76

The above assets have been fixed and should be on the DL within 24/36 hrs
The culprit, I found, was Gimp being sporadic with the .png save format when importing a 16bit .TIFF file, the original render format, and saving as a .png format. The problem should be fixed on all future textures.

Thanks,
John
