Hello all, recently I downloaded a Night Riviera reskin for the Steam Class 57 from https://superalbs.weebly.com/train-sim-reskins.html, and everything was going alright until it came to spawning the train. The loco and the sleeper coaches were fine, however the standard seated coaches and the lounge car have so far continuously failed to load and just leaving a blank space in the train. I've tried some basic troubleshooting such as uninstalling and reinstalling the .rwp file in Utilities.exe, and re-pasting the .geopcdx files (as the reskin requires pulling other models from the Kuju HST for the standard Mk3s), unfortunately to no avail so far. Annoyingly the carriages show up in the consist and scenario editor, but not in the game. Does anyone else have this reskin and am I just doing something stupid, or has the reskin unfortunately met its demise as a result of not getting updates? It's a high quality reskin considering it's freeware, so I hope I can get it working haha. (BTW, never really used a forum, let me know if I'm posting in the wrong place lol
Just installed it, and having similar issues. Double checked everything... nothing missing, nothing put in the wrong place.
Now that I think of it, are the headlights on the loco working for you? Since for me only the marker works annoyingly.
A missing vehicle shape can be caused by one of two things when running a scenario - the basic shape file for the vehicle is missing, but I can see it is present in your screenshot. The other problem can arise if there is child object attached to the vehicle in the blueprint which is missing its shape file. Also, there is a 57/6 pack available that doesn't have the incorrect high beam and covers all eras of the 57/6 in one package - https://www.vulcanproductions.co.uk/diesel.html
Thank you for this, looks even better and now my headlights work On top of this, I've been able to get a very interesting to say the least variant of the Night Riviera to work now, using these new locos as well as a mixture of James Ivell's Mk3's from Alan Thompson Sim for the seated coaches, and using the original sleeper coaches, as I don't own Over Shap in order to get the sleepers from JI's variant. with only one minor visual bug which is odd.
Possibly the people who put this package together realise the AP Class 57 Sound pack is not available now. Not sure if the VP 57/6 would work without that AP Sound Pack or if there was away around the problem? Maybe to use the Oovee 57 sounds - not the best but what can you do
The Superalbs pack was released before the VP pack, I am also unsure what would happen if you don't have the 57 sound pack, I think the pack is suitably old enough that it may date from the time where blueprints and audio files were kept to the same names, before AP started doing more complicated and involved packs - but that's just me thinking out loud.
