Does anyone know what these are?

Post by jands1 »

Am using the excellent Settle and Carlisle but keep finding small objects scattered about which look to be about the size and shape of milkbottles.
If you click on them a gizmo comes up but I cant seem to get any more details - deleting seems to make no difference
You can see them in world editor and in game
Anyone know what they are????

These denote that an asset has been placed there in the original route but your version of the route cannot find that asset for some reason. Perhaps you have downloaded a route that requires assets from elsewhere which you have not yet obtained.

Apart from missing rolling stock and track objects, TS2102 will still load if there are scenery assets missing and the milk bottles show where they should be.

Run the route through RW Tools and that should list all the items that are missing.

Hi

The milk bottles are "place-markers", indicating that an asset should be placed at that location that you don't have installed on your system. You can find what these missing assets are by checking the route with RW_Tools, then download the items you need - they will then replace the milk bottles.

EDIT- Beat me to it Geoff! :D

Thanks for this guys
Problem is RW tools tells me I have all the assets loaded
Also these are clustered in odd places sometimes so close together that I would wonder what asset would go there
Not to worry

Possibly the issue is that not all of the relevant Developer boxes are checked in the Object Set filter, though I can't think why that should happen

This can be checked (though it is a bit of a convoluted method) by printing out the list of assets used from RWTools, opening the route in Editor and manual checking that each provider listed as being used has a tick in the box enabling their assets
