Formatting texture.txt files

I am trying to repair <kuid2:407646:2002:2> HP xing boom US 1t. It is built into TANE, but when brought into 2019 it gets flagged for missing texture.txt files:
VE65: The *.texture.txt file is missing for texture resource 'boomgate norm.texture'.
VE65: The *.texture.txt file is missing for texture resource 'boomgate.texture'.

I created a texture.txt file for each formatted this way
Primary=boomgate norm.texture & boomgate.texture
Tile=ST

I saved the files and committed but the missing texture.txt file flags still show. Does there need to be more added to the txt files?

hiya boc
a "name.texture.txt" refers to a real picture a .bmp,.tga, .jpg, .png etc normally
But since this item was built-in in TANE they probably locked the pic+the txt into 1 file


a "cough" dirty trick could be, download the older version <kuid2:407646:2002:1>
and see if the normal textures and .texture.txt files are in there.
put those in the version:2 and see if its ok.


other option is try Asset X to fix it


This is for an average user super annoying, you payed for the item when you bought TANE
now in TRS19 you spent hours fixing it again.

EDIT: i just downloaded it from DLS and its fine there
Primary=boomgate.tga
Tile=st

hope you get it working
greetings GM

You can try using Images2TGA tool to try and fix this. Here is a link from a previous post... https://forums.auran.com/trainz/archive/index.php/t-148257.html

johnarran has the right idea. The .texture files need to be split up into .tga and .texture.txt files before submitting the asset to the trainz content database. Images2TGA does the splitting.
