well i downloaded both repaints and install them but they don't work. they show up on list but when placing them on track they not there. i did click on Great Northerner hoppers and also kuju box but nothing. the cn and black cp hoppers work.

[buzz456]

Did you put the proper GeoPcDx files in there? I know they work because I have them.

[raptorengineer]

huh what GeoPcDx files is it the ones that you replace that listing in hs-4bay cn 1 etc..cause that what i did and didn't work

[buzz456]

I will look and see what I did on the installation tonight when I get home from work.

[raptorengineer]

ok

[buzz456]

Here is the path where these guys ought to be.

They should all have HS-4bay-CN1.GeoPcDx in the folder.

ok. so i uninstall the hoppers then went in to the asset folder and deleted the GreatNortherner file. then i reinstall just the Canadian hopper CP Pack. then when in to the game and click on GreatNortherner box. but once again dosen't show up in game. also i checked each file and they have own HS-4bay-CN1 geopcdx file

[buzz456]

I suspect you probably need the default one for these to show up.

Hi,

If in doubt, try copying ALL of the files from the original models from me into the repaints' folders, but without overwriting anything. Maybe more files than the GeoPcDx have been left out.

EDIT: And yes, like Buzz just said, most likely the original models from my website need to be installed too. Depends on how the repaints were set up, but it's worth a try.

Cheers

I had the same issue a while back but I moved on to other assets since I was unable to successfully resolve this problem. I'll get pics of my folders tonight if this is still under investigation.

[buzz456]

Reading the bin file that is the issue. You need to D/L at least the CN one.

I found my thread from Feb, I assume this is still my set up and it looks like I have the CP downloaded but not installed.

They are in assets>greatnortherner>hoppers>railvehicles>freight>hscylindrical

I have the following variations installed:
ALNX
ALPX
ATSF-ms
CN-ms
CNWX-4
CPWX
GN-ms
SKPX-1
SKPX-2
plus the Shared and Default folders

the only ones that show up in game are the CN-ms, GN-ms, and ATSF-ms

Here's another idea: those hopper cars got updated at least a couple of times. It is possible that the repaint is based on a newer version than you have currently installed, possibly causing incompatibilities. This is just a guess, but maybe you can try redownloading/reinstalling all of the cyl.hopper base models from my website and see if that helps.
