Light Mikado - Misbehaving Numbers

[philmoberg]

I'm getting some really odd results from the numbers on the Light Mikado. I encountered tis problem wen I did a clean installation of the model and overwrote the old shape files with the new ones. I tried a second clean installation, in this case deleting the old shape files before installing the new ones. Since I haven't seen this posted before, I'm wondering whether it's something I did. Any ideas or other advice? Thanks kindly.

Yes it's something you did but we know not what.

I've seen odd numbering on many locos when it's the first one of that type down. After placing the first loco, place a second and then delete the first before continuing.

Are you sure that you don't have multiple locos in there? I just tested here and the numbers are working OK.

Thank you all for the suggestions. Nothing has worked so far. I even tried it with a new scenario, and I'm still having the problem with all four versions. FWIW, I originally had FXAA off, and since have tried it with FXAA and anisotropic X2 with no apparent difference. I appreciate your input.

Did you use the new textures?

(edit) Hmm it looks like a construction problem as I get the same effect It also effects the sand dome number.
I'll get down to it now!!!!!!

No new textures that didn't come with the clean installation, Dick. I did run the batch file to switch to the graphite smokebox and firebox. However, the numbers did this before I ran the batch file anyway. It also affects the sand dome on my copy, though I seldom use that.

The problem is with me. Some how my construction files have got corrupted I will get new shape files out asap.

I have updated all the Light Mikado shape files. They should work now. The cab interior is now a "child" part, but should not effect the running of the loco. It should not appear in the cab view, but if it does please let me know.

Sorry to be a bit of a pest, Dick, but I'm getting a file compression error on the updated shapes folder. Apparently it's not a network error, because I've tried a fresh download twice. Depending on the zip utility used, I either get an invalid check sum error producing an empty folder, or an invalid compression method error producing a folder with 0Kb shape files. Thanks again for your time and assistance.

I have been having internet problems here for the last few days!!!! The zip file should be OK now.

I finally had the chance to install the revised files, and everything is working as it should. Thanks again, Dick.
