I'm building a large warehouse in TSM and the other day did something in the course of editing/building this model which causes both ShapeViewer and the Route Editor to abort on loading it.I have been editing the Vol_Sphere line to deal with TSM's inability to calculate total length but other than that it's been fairly ordinary stuff.In TSM I made sure I deleted leftover points, thinking perhaps that's the problem.Any suggestions to what I should be looking for?Dave NelsonWP mainline, Oakland-Stockton: 100% complete; SP mainline, Oakland-Stockton: 20% complete; Aug 1950 <<new .sig under construction>>
Could be too many polys, I had to split a depot into 2 separate models because of the poly limit. I think its around 4k. I've had a lot of problems with locos refusing to load in the sim, I start ditching parts from the model until it loads. I avoid editing the Vol_Sphere by centering the model as close as I can in length and width, this works well for most buildings. Some taller structures still pull the dissapearing act, so I'll add a single poly underground to force a larger Vol_Sphere. Cheesy but it saves time.
I think the poly count is around 500 right now so I doubt that's the problem. The only thing I can think of is that I was adding and deleting the same parts like crazy for a while... trying different things to solve a particular problem. Do you think that goofed something up?Dave NelsonWP mainline, Oakland-Stockton: 100% complete; SP mainline, Oakland-Stockton: 20% complete; Aug 1950 <<new .sig under construction>>
Could be any number of things. I've had problems with parts that were too small for MSTS to handle. Usually hoses or handrails less than 1" in diameter. When I enlarged the diameter they loaded without error.Other times I had to add details using the FreightAnim tag before the sim would accept them. I now use this for adding smaller details because of this. I don't know if it's a poly issue or not.Sometimes a part is just bad and has to be deleted and recreated.Frank MusickMoving America into the 19th Century! www.kelticsylk.com
