Cab interior is transparent

[jimjan]

Good afternoon, with the new build X,1388, when looking at the engine (#2 view) you can see right through the engine.
I have attached some screenshots of this. The engine is from MLT, AC4400 #9505. The glass is a freight annimation.
If I delete the glass from the eng file, the view is fine.

It might have something to be with sorting the alpha layers. That has been a problem in the past.

Open Rails is using a bug tracker, here: http://launchpad.net/or If you register you can create a report and with a correct e-mail address will receive any comments / change of status by e-mail.

WRT this specific problem, the team does not have a huge supply of payware locomotives on hand so if you know of a freeware locomotive that exhibits the same problems, tells us about that one and where to get it.

Also, please check the existing reports to see if there is one that is about the same problem. You can mark it as "you too have this problem" and from that point on you'll get e-mails as-if you had created it yourself.

I encounter the same problem with this new experimental version X-1388 with some 3D Trains locomotives.
Like jimjan the interior of some locomotives are completly transparent when you look through the windows.
In the Featherriver route (WP3) the F7 - GP35 & U30B have this bug but not the GP7.
Also in this route all the passenger wagons are completly opaque.
Same thing for the F7 locomotive SuperChief of 3D Trains but not with the passenger wagons.
Any of the locomotives haven't a FreightAnim in option.

In the experimental version X-1370 everything is OK escept for the passenger wagons of the WP3.

It seems like all of Jan Gettekant's units have this problem. They show up fine in MSTS, but in Shapeviewer & OR they are missing the interior. I asked how to manually change this alpha sorting issue in another thread but it was never resolved.
Also, in OR, the BLW pay ware #5 views cause the entire cabs of BLW trailing units to disappear!

IF it is an alpha sorting issue it should be fixed in the OR software. That said, the OR team does not have access to either MSTS source code or internal documentation and so there are numerous features using arcane logic that are very problematic to match. This may be one of those... or it may be very easy; hard to say w/o someone digging into it. At least Marc Nelson is still around and he may be able to share some info on what he did for those WP units you mentioned.

Did you write up this bug on the tracker software I mentioned in post #2? If not, please do.

Good evening, another person had entered as a bug, so I added my observations to it.
