    Smoke texture problem

    Hello everyone. I'll be quick; I have a problem with the smoke textures on steam locomotives, they look like cubes... On diesel locos I don't have this problem... Thanks.

    Sounds like you don't have a steam smoke texture installed. Have a look: Go to the directory where you have your Routes and Trains installed. Open the "Global" folder, then open the "Textures" folder. There should be a file called "smokemain.ace" in there.

    If there is none, you can download one from this link: http://coalstonewcastle.com.au/stock/misc/downloads/ ("NSW Steam Locomotive Smoke Effects - Ver 2.0").

    Hope this helps...

      Might help others to know what engine you are trying to run, to see if we can replicate your problem or not. Helps to give some direction as to what/where the problem might be.

        Here's a sample of what a steam engine looks like when I run it in OR.

          There are a number of quality smokemain textures in our library --- search the term "smokemain"
          If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks!

            It sounds like you lost the alpha channel. Did you try to edit it as a bmp image instead of as a tga or dds image?
