anyone else have a error with this file <kuid:439337:101150>

- <kuid:439337:101149> : VE34: Alias mesh 'nightview.im' not found in latest version (<kuid2:68213:29127:3>) of dependency <kuid2:68213:29127:1>.

- <kuid:439337:101149> : VE76: Unable to load mesh file: 'nightview.im'



Thanks
 
I had the same error with the water truck as well and was going to post about that when I saw your post here.

<kuid2:524343:6641:1> truck 30 - Truck water_spray

I tried fixing it by renaming the mesh, because the mesh is called nightlights.im, and that didn't work. I ended up deleting the asset and then cleaning up a couple of regions that had it installed.
 
To explain what's behind this; the dependency in question is one of about 70 vehicle assets I made for TRS2004 a long time ago. They had a script, written by Andi06, added to what were originally scenery-only versions to make them more usable as road traffic.

The script allowed traffic-related things, such as the float height above the road and the time when headlights would come on, to be adjusted in-game by the user. It worked quite well in TRS2004 and TRS2006, and that's why I suppose various other creators referenced them in Kind:Region assets. However, the script was broken by TS2010 and later versions. One result was that the vehicles, when still used as static scenery, would mysteriously be found sunk into the ground by a few centimetres.

I let that situation persist for about 10 years, but recently decided to rectify it by removing not only the broken AJS script, but the associated nightmode meshes and engine sound files too. My reasoning was that static vehicles do not have their engines running continuously and headlights should not come on spontaneously after dark. And removing the script does stop the sinking effect.

The new scenery-only versions are now available as TS12 assets on the DLS. Region assets that were configured to work with scripted vehicles will now see errors because they are looking for nightmode meshes that are no longer there. I guess such errors are always a possibility when creators reference other people's assets in their own creations.

A solution would be for the authors of the Region assets to issue updates with configs that no longer look for nightmode meshes, or to simply remove references to these vehicles altogether. I'm expecting angry mobs bearing pitchforks and torches to storm my building for causing errors in their Region assets! :confused:

it would be a lot easier for endusers if Trainz would not red flag the item if it misses a mesh,
but just ignore the missing mesh and give a yellow warning.
80% of the players do not know how or where to repair items.
"faulty" means it will not load at all, it annoys players, driving them away from the game.


in this case do not edit <kuid2:68213:29127:3> chevy from Dino
edit <kuid:439337:101150> the alias (from Bob), open the config


find the section:
default-night
{
mesh-asset <kuid2:68213:29128:1>
mesh "nightview.im"
night-mesh-base "default"
}
and delete that , then submit


greetings GM
 
tryed that, still comes up faulty not sure why

! <kuid:439337:101150> : VE109: The low-detail meshes total more than 500 polygons. This may have a negative impact on performance: 0: 1797


oh never mind after exiting and reloading game it now show not faulty.Thanks for the help and hugs

You are welcome :)

btw overriding this 500 limit, we will see on nearly 80% of all assets including the built-in
its from the time the numbers of polies really mattered (2006)
the bottleneck now is the ammount and size of the textures that need to be loaded.

enjoy your working Chevy ;-)
greetings GM
 
GM, I'm confused. If we edit the way you have suggested above, will not that prevent the Chevy from using lights at night? That of course would render the owner of that vehicle in possession of a license allowing day driving only:(
 
lol

btw i had a second assest Car Chev Impala 1959 03 - Traffic <kuid:439337:101149> i had to fix also

also this is not a critism or any thing of the authers of the meshs

Yes ! trainz will be very dangerous at night. but hey its an australian game, and all animals are dangeroos

What actually should have happened......if the AJS script is faulty(i doubt it) someone at N3v should have fixed it for him
since andy (still miss that great guy) cannot update his content from heaven.

again: do not ruin older content please please
greetings GM
 
Only 3 aliased vehicles affected here by arraial one being truck 30 which as they are not used here I deleted them. No affected regions.
 
Well this seems to explain why suddenly the C&O Hinton route is red flagged claiming missing dependencies which goes down to the region file 1950's Glory Years USA with a over six vehicles listed as having missing assets which are the base vehicles (static?). That's a lot of downloads, each 4MB+ and I've seen the same warning that nightmode can't be found. Yet more stuff to fix.
 
OK, this might be some good news relevant to the OP topic.

I have now done away with the AJS Traffic Script in my vehicles that formerly used it and made each of those available on the DLS as 2 separate versions (although they share the same names);

-static scenery.
-traffic-enabled.

The traffic versions are now of Kind scenery-trackside, so they ride on any road at the correct height and without fancy and fragile scripts. They have nightmode headlights, motor sound and are suitable for referencing by Region assets.

Third-party creators of traffic vehicles or Region assets made faulty, or reporting faulty dependencies, as a result of my recent updates can now fix those issues by referencing vehicles from this list, which is all my currently available traffic vehicles. Most of these are build 3.5 (TS12).

Big thanks for all the nice cars and your hard work


when i encounter an error. i always try to get to the real source of the error,
so the questions arrise:
At which version of TRS the AJS Traffic Script stopped working?
what errors were there?
did anyone tried to fix it? (i know sadly andi cant)
was it submitted as bug report to N3v? and what was the response.


The problem is, many items in this game depend on each other
a script is used in a car, a car is used in a region, a region is used in a route
any error in this chain, is bad for any "normal" user
talking about users that just want to drive a Train and dont even know what a config is.
We cannot all be content creators, errors drive many away from this game.


So..if its not broken, don't fix it (specially not the basic game)
asking N3v (out of respect for andi06) if anything is broken with his content to fix and update it.
so many items depend on it.


Once again Big thanks dino, you are not to blame
greetings GM
 
G.M.

From a technical perspective, I would not claim the build 3.5 vehicles among that list are anything great. They are legacy creations from TRS 2004 days, not very high in poly-counts, but they lack LOD, use multiple materials, have no normal map textures and no interiors. I just did these updates to make them function properly and be error-free in their intended roles - static scenery or road traffic - if people still want to use them.

The AJS script didn't trigger outright faults, just didn't work as Andi06 originally intended, I think from TS2009 or TS2010 - whatever version it was when road traffic needed to be made as Scenery-Trackside (Track Object). That fixed the float height problem without the need for any custom scripts. It's so long ago now, I forget exactly what the script problems were. Andi06 passed away before anything could be done about it and I didn't raise it with N3V because it wasn't their script.

This is a TrainSimulator(for me the best one) not a carz simulator
Your cars are good enough as scenery and as trackside road cars
not everything needs to be high poly or pbr.
As stated before, the bottleneck now is the ammount and size of the textures.
everything in a route needs to be loaded at 1 time. So we also need low poly/low texture items.


I stay with my request to N3v to fix any Andi06 item, that stops working cause of changes in the base game.
Andi was a visionair and a rebel, the reason we now have procedural track, it startd with him.
So many items depend on his work, if it stops working we are all in trouble.
People leave and sales go down, its important !
