Painting it (not so) BLACK...

Post by JohnM1945 »

Help requested...

I'm taking a nostalgic look back at some of the older freelance routes and finding that one or two of them (eg 'Plym Valley' and 'Chichester to Portsmouth' (aka 'Hayling Island')) appear totally BLACK... (apart from the odd white streak, or puff of smoke).

I think I remember that this resulted from a change made by RSC when TS2012/RW3 was replaced by TS2013/RW4. I also think I remember that there was a fix for this, involving replacing a texture(?) file of which the pathway had been deleted (something from the Oxford-Paddington route which free-lancers had relied on?).

I'm sure it was discussed - and a fix suggested - on this forum, but I can't remember where.

Can anyone help?

Kind regards,

John M

Hi, you just need to tick the RSC oxfpadd provider in the world editor - if it uses those blueprints or whichever version was used!

Hmmm...

Sadly, that didn't have any effect. But thanks for the suggestion - the prompt response was much appreciated.

Maybe I mis-stated the cause of the problem?

Kind regards,

John

No you didn't misstate but plym valley uses the bathtemp template not the oxfpadd one so you need to tick the RSC Bath Temp provider for that route instead! :) If you look in the route properties .xml file for the routes in question you will see the main template required there - then it's just a matter of finding the RSC equivalent & ticking that box. :)
