Railworks America

Well I was running a Workshop Scenario and noticed the tank car it called for on a drop, designated by a car number, had the dreaded 543210. Which means it was on all the tank cars. Well tried researching this a while back for another car but didn't have much luck. Very few posts covering this problem. So I figured now was the time to figure it out myself.

To make a long story short; in the tank_car..geopcdx the "primarynumber" textures did not have primary number textures assigned correctly. The entry just called for a "number_" texture. There was no textures named "primarynumber" in the tank_car texture folder either. So to make it as simple as possible without adding another separate set of numbers in addition to the current set of numbers I just copied and pasted the number textures from the BoxCar50Ft in the Freight folder to the tank_car texture folder as the boxcar folder already had all the number textures named as "primarynumber_".

You don't have to redo the entries in the copied and pasted number textures. Though they have a entry of "RailVehicles\Freight\BoxCar50Ft\Default\Wagon\Textures\primarynumber_" that doesn't affect anything unless you are going to reskin the number themselves.

Corrected the entries in the tank_car.geopcdx as shown in the illustration.

Then I corrected the tankcar_Digits.bin entries to match the name of the new number as shown in the illustrations.
Note: At the top of the tankcar_Digits bin file page there is this entry: "Name :type="cDeltaString">Cement Digits</Name". However there is no need to correct this as long as the file name itself is "tankcar_Digits" because that is what the tank_car.bin calls for.

As you can see, it was successful.

Good detective work!
What is the scope of this problem, does it affect only Maria's Pass, only one asset?

Great work Ironcat60.
The problem is also present in DTG NLine, Barnez BNSF Chicago (The Racetrack), SHG Alexandria - Monroe (Livonia Monroe Sub) and in Kuju Default and Def2.
Solution in principle works although actions are slightly different. Many thanks IronCat60.

I would remind folks that mods such as these are usually wiped out on Steam updates or file verification. It is wise to keep a copy of the modified file elsewhere. I always extract the railvehicles folder out of the .ap and keep the modified files in a file such as for example NLine Assets (containing only the Railvehicles folder as above). That way I have quick and easy access to any fixes/mods etc as I just copy the file out of the "NLine Assets" and drop it into the main file structure, and I don't lose them or forget where I put them (I've done that too many times). I'm sure there are other ways - different strokes for different folks.
