SD70MAC no good

[randrett]

good morning everyone,
I am writing to report that I have downloaded the BNSF “Executive” SD70MAC Megapack package and it seems to me that there is something wrong with the textures (I attach image), the same problem also with the BNSF EMD SD70MAC Locomotive Set and Conrail (CR) SD70MAC Locomotive Set packages: Maybe it is me doing something wrong? Thank you and have a good day everyone.

Hi Randrett, that's a TSRE related problem as it has to do with the misc textures not being square, resulting it not rendering as intended.

But the texture works fine in Open Rails.

I thank you and wish you a good day

The latest testing version 8.005q of TSRE might handle it. Or you can add UnsafeMode=true to Settings.txt and give that a try.

the problem with it rendering in TSRE correctly isn't that the texture is not "square" it's that it is 253x253,which is square. I am not sure why Nash chose that size as it an odd number integer. most all other textures are integers of even numbers like 256, 512, 1024, 2048 ect... As this is a common texture with all his new models. I simply resized it to 256x256 and all problems solved.

Or you change the size of the alphas.ace.

good evening everyone, I have tried it following your instructions but the result is disastrous, I have tried to change size on ALPHAS.ace file with DXTBmp, from 253x253 to 256x256, but I don't solve anything, anyway thank you and greetings to all.

TSRE's ACE library requires that textures be divisible by 2. That's not a changeable requirement.

UnsafeMode won't handle it either -- that state will cause the app to close.

good evening everyone, I have tried it following your instructions but the result is disastrous,

Check you PM's updated texture sent

Why a few straggling ace files in a download that is primarily dds in the first place? Where is the consistency?

Too many cooks in the kitchen and nobody possesses the same tools and skills?

To Darkhorse427: Thank you
