Unusual Bug/Unexpected Error (According to RW_Tools)

Unread postby bloodonfire3 » Sun Oct 05, 2014 2:53 pm

While blanking out the RSC F59 PS Business Coach into a standard coach, and after checking that it does in fact, appear in game in the consist builder, I went back to RW_Tools to convert the textures from DDS to TGPCDX. However, no matter what I do, I get the following two errors with practically the same thing said on each one:
Unexpected Error in RW_Tools V5.0.0076

Error: #53 File not found
Module: frmEditor
Procedure: mnuDDStoKrs_Click

Error: #76 Path not found
Module: frmEditor
Procedure: mnuDDStoKrs_Click

Can't imagine what is causing this, because I've tried every way to Sunday to figure this out on my own. I change the path to editor, no change. I install the V6 update, no change.
It's a bit mind-boggling, and a mite frustrating.

I may have found the culprit to my issue: There's an issue that some files have when you take a DDS File outside of the TempDDS Folder. I normally convert the TGPCDX file into a DDS then navigate to the TempDDS folder and copy the files to another location. Depending on the model, this can cause some consequences. So the trick is to save those files back to the TempDDS folder and convert the DDS back into a TGPCDX file. I guess there's nothing wrong with a little extra work, eh? Mike, what's your take on this?

The method I recommend is, as you found out above, that the files be converted from .tgpcdx to .dds which places both the .dds and the .dat file (which is required to convert the file back to .tgpcdx once you have edited it) in the TempDDS folder. Then save the edited .dds back into the TempDDS folder and it is simple to convert it back to .tgpcdx.

It may be hit or miss. Sometimes I discovered it works in TempDDS, other times the procedure will work in a combination of ways. Trial and error is the name of the game. Thanks for the support, Mike!
