Railworks America

I have two routes I am working on. The routes run smoothly and all is okay. I copy the routes to my wife's computer, install RW via Steam. When I load either route the ground texture is missing and I get a black or invisible terrain. What do I need to do to correct this?

PS: all other routes seem to run correctly.

Hi, do the computers have the same asset folders?

I'm wondering if it could be a video card/ video driver issue? Do both PC's have similar specs?

Yes that should not be a problem. All the assets show up except the rails and ground. Also when I go to Painting Tools I do not have any Paint Terrain items to choose from.

When I moved the routes I used the packager in RW. One package for the route and one for the assets.

Open the route folder that you have moved onto her pc (for example):

E:\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\Content\Routes\64cb501f-5cf7-4198-b0ee-7d5548447aa9

Your route will have some different bunch of numbers for the folder name

Open the RouteProperties.xml file in Notepad (right-click and use "Open with" to select notepad.

Look for this section and line (for example):

<TerrainBlueprint>
<iBlueprintLibrary-cAbsoluteBlueprintID>
<BlueprintSetID>
<iBlueprintLibrary-cBlueprintSetID>
<Provider d:type="cDeltaString">Toripony</Provider>
<Product d:type="cDeltaString">Alleghany</Product>
</iBlueprintLibrary-cBlueprintSetID>
</BlueprintSetID>
<BlueprintID d:type="cDeltaString">Environment\Terrain\Texturing.xml</BlueprintID>
</iBlueprintLibrary-cAbsoluteBlueprintID>
</TerrainBlueprint>

Note the Provider, Product and Blueprint ID.... that is the folder/file your route is looking for to load your terrain textures.
Now go look in the Railworks folders on your wife's pc to ensure that file is there. If the file IS on your wife's pc, open your route in World Editor mode, open the Object Set Filter panel and be sure that Provider and Product folder is "checked"........

If that folder/file is NOT there, copy it from your pc to hers manually or use the Railworks Packager (3rd tab on the RW launch window).

Thanks Tori that put in on the right path. Now to find out what went wrong.
