Hello everyone I'm just curious if anyone can point me in the right direction on how to blank out an asset(mostly locomotives) that do not have a map1_bump. I used to be able to get blanks using that method but things have changed and I want to get back into reskinning but I'm having trouble getting blanks to start with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A total newbie with a reskinning problem. Followed tutorial to reskin a stockcar in TR12 -- just changing heralds and car number. Cloned car following instructions; went to Computer, etc. & found relevant *.tga file in Userdata/editing and edited textures, reformatted to .tga with same file names as originals, saved and recommitted.
In Railyard after the recommit, the car end information is totally missing: old is gone; new not there.
Further troubleshooting shows that mesh file for the carbody does not support the edited .tga file containing herald and car number. Only 256 colour, 24 & 32 bit files supported. Will explore editor output further
Ideas on where to find more detailed instructions, or what I've done wrong would be welcome.

Downloaded the NYC one used assest x http://trainz.shaneturner.co.uk/tutorials/index.php/home/utilities/pevsoft-trainz-tools/assetx to remove the alfa channel on the rsd-12.tga file and saved it. opened it in photoshop 7 and just used the brush to mark it up saved it and loaded in trainz 12 it showed the corrected texture file.
