    SD40-2 No Show

    Im not exactly sure what went wrong where but ever since ive had open rails (about 2-3 months now) the original kuju 40-2 and any repaints/edited locos to it do not show. Sound and cab shows but no shape file. Is there some code that needs to be adjusted?

    Yes, there is an error in the shape file but I don't remember what it was. Perhaps a search of the forums may turn something up?
    It was a simple fix as I recall.

      Look for this in the shape file:

      anim_node WIPERBLADELEFT1 (
      controllers ( 2
      tcb_rot ( 5
      tcb_key ( 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 )
      tcb_key ( 1 0 0 0.382683 0.92388 0 0 0 0 0 )
      tcb_key ( 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 )
      tcb_key ( 3 0 0 0.382683 0.92388 0 0 0 0 0 )
      tcb_key ( 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 )
      )
      linear_pos ( 5
      linear_key ( 0 -0.13009 -0.357949 0.0030365 )
      linear_key ( 1 -0.13009 -0.357949 0.00303654 )
      linear_key ( 2 -0.13009 -0.357949 0.00303673 )
      linear_key ( 3 -0.13009 -0.357949 0.00303654 )
      linear_key ( 4 -0.13009 -0.357949 0.00303673 )\ ---------HERE'S THE ERROR..BACKSLASH DOES NOT BELONG, Removed, compressed file and presto the invisible loco should appear. This error has been carried over to other models
      )

      You are not the first, I found mine on June 11, 2013 ...only remembered because I looked up the post I made asking about it.

          If you had the payware version of ConBuilder you could select the ENG in the list of engines and click the SF (Shape Fix) tool icon and it would fix this error for you.

            I had the same issue and made the above mentioned correction to 4 different SD40-2's just yesterday. They all work nicely now.

            I would love to have the payware Conbuilder, but retirees on a fixed income have to draw the line somewhere.
