Crazy,

I think you will continue to get that error if you do not have Direct-X on your machine. I do and have created several .ace files using Win-11 but I have not tried to compress them. There has been in the library for some 20 years a set of .s & .sd files that are uncompressed and which create up to 8 signal bungalows. The #1 bungalow connects to the side colors and the top name plate. The 2nd connects to the 2nd from the top nameplate etc. I use Paintshop to put text in the nameplate boxes & then export a .ace file. "So Far" it works. At least I guess I have Direct-X because so far things work correctly. Another of my acquaintances lives in Zurich and improved on my Milwaukee Road routes several years back.

I've been unable to make .ace textures with TGATool either on my Win 11 system, ( a missing component or such error ), so after making a .tga or .bmp texture I then run AceIt and make the .tga or .bmp into an .ace textures that way. I have TGATool set to use AceIt but no joy, so I just use the extra step.

I have been forced to leave TGATool behind for the same reasons as above. I now do my reskinning using an online image manipulation program called Photopea. Photopea will open TGA files which I generate using Shape File Viewer. Files can be converted to DDS format, or XCF format if you decide to try GIMP, or PSD format if you can afford it. You can then download your textures to your computer.

Windows 11 comes with version 11 of DirectX while version 9 is needed. You can check if version 9 is installed on your computer by checking for d3dx9_xx.dll in directory C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and install these components from Download DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer from Official Microsoft Download Center

DirectX 8 installers in the library here, and we also have the web installer for directx 9 if you don't want to mess around with the microsoft download center.
