don't work

[randrett]

Hello, Please note that the ORTS TS Guilford GP40-2LW Locomotive Pack file
(File ID 90704) is corrupted.Bye

Hi randrett,
That's a bit abrupt, mate!! A little courtesy/politeness costs nothing!
I have just unpacked the file and, as far as I can see, it's OK.
Why do you say "don't work"?
Assuming you have the Trainsimulations CN Ruel Subdivision, have you followed the readme instructions?

This is NOT a 'Plug & Play' item! You have to do quite a bit of work to be able to use this re-skin.

Cheers,
Ged

Well, the readme isn't actually correct.....
The naming convention in the Readme says MEC_503A.dds, when the included filename is MEC_GP40-2LW_503A.dds (x B textures, x multiple engines). But ignoring that error....the file works.

I downloaded it twice and get mec_gp40-2lw.503b.dds corrupt when using unzip.
Gives a data error at 327kb with 7zip as well on the same file.

Not happening here. Downloads fine, unzips fine, loads in TSRE fine, that particular texture loads in Photoshop fine....

All of the B's are the same so substitution works fine.

No, they are not. Each one has their own unique weathering, and coloring. You will need to use the appropriate B file for the appropriate locomotive.

The files all show fine on my system, as do the download. They all load up just fine after extraction in both Paint Shop Pro 9 and GIMP.

I suggest deleting the download and retrying it.

[randrett]

hello, now is all right, thank you

I had the same thing happen unzipping it on a Mac, downloaded again and got an error message again for one of the dds files.

>I suggest deleting the download and retrying it.

In post 4 I noted that I downloaded it twice.

I am not suggesting your files are faulty, I am suggesting that the file on trainsim is faulty, as noted by the data error at 327KB out of 680KB odd.

[ossie]

All good for me. I've just downloaded and opened it with winzip & winrar without any issues. The 4 B.dds files are opening fine in DXTBmp.

A note to the OP - if you care at all about anyone else having the same issue as you, or with any problem, post with a title that is more equated to the issue. "Don't Work" will help nobody find a useful thread and solution.

I wasn't the one to upload these, I only did the handful of renumbers for the more modern versions. Andrew was the final piece as it was his project. I am just trying to understand what is going on, and making it known that the B image files are not all the same.

I've downloaded the file twice, 11.3MB's in the zipped compressed file, 24.5MB's uncompressed, with the B files all being fine and no issues. So I am at a loss as to what is taking place with some folks here with downloading these files.

I downloaded once, let Windows unzip, added the needed shape file, and all looks error free in Shapeviewer, Doesn't seem that the library's copy of the file is corrupt.

Hi All,
I'd like to confirm what Shawn has posted.
Followed the very clear instructions (except for substituting the actual texture names!) and run all 4 locos in Open Rails.
As one who doesn't know much about North American locos, to me, they look OK and run well!

For information, I'm running Windows 10 Pro, used 7Zip to unpack the download and Shape File Manager v2.5 to uncompress/compress the shape files.
Open Rails Stable v1.6.1
