Problem with MSTS Textures

Thanks Trainsmurf – Sorry it has taken so long to respond to you,

I have reinstalled MSTS and the makeace patch and still same,

I now have to use TGATOOL to do ace files

Bit of a pain but at least its a work round.

Thanks Guys

Hi Guys,

Strange one but here goes, All of a sudden if I use the MSTS Wizard to ecport my texture files they loose the alpha chanel any ideas?

If I use TGATOOL to export the same TGA file to ACE then no problem.

I have however used the MSTS Wizard with no problem

Thanks

Jason

Off hand I can’t think of why. Anyone else have any ideas?

I can only say that it’s never happened to me.

See my reply to your .ACE generation issue … I think your makeace utility is toast (both the 3DC wizard and TGATool rely on this utility to actually make the .ACE file)… try reinstalling MSTS or install the patch from Microsoft that has the new makeace included.

Something else to watch out for is your graphics settings in MSTS. If your video card had problems with MSTS (or vice versa) and you had to run the troubleshooter to start it or if you have reduced the graphics capabilities in MSTS so much… it will no longer process transparencies and give you solids. (happened to me too, the only way to get rid of it is to either change video cards or give in performance …)
