The crash folks were experiencing was due to the Difficulty > Destroy prop on the locomotive, which deleted it on Hard and Expert. Doing so apparently causes a crash since it's like deleting the lift connected to a massive TerrPath. As he said, the fixed version is uploaded now.

Well, that's a heck of a boner. Good find, Sensut.
LarryG: Is re-sizing the train textures going to screw up their appearance?
EDIT: Never mind. I went ahead and re-sized them. They look OK.
EDIT: I scanned all the directories and only found the train textures and one "forest" texture that were wrong-sized.

Looks like you did some re-texturing. I just checked the files I sent you and all of the textures were powers of 2.

Re-check these two files in the obj/txt16 folder:
[INDENT]WdBxTop.gif
WdBxSide.gif[/INDENT]
These are out of the original archive (Trains.zip) you sent me last year, the one with the $TrainsDemo18_121.cow.

Sorry for posting here, but I just completed v2 and found a few of issues.
In case there will be another update, I think that the loot and secrets should be fixed.
- unobtainable loot:
I am short on 525 to the total.
According to the LazyTaffer lootlist, the following is unobtainable because it is not frobbable:
- 2 tapestries in the bank vault (2*150)
- 2 canopies in the bank vault (2*75)
- a fine wine and a goblet in the Exit cart (50+25)
total: 525
- secrets:
I completed the mission with 3/4 secrets according to the stats.
My notes say that I found only 2 and the LazyTaffer lootlist tool denotes only 2 secrets as well
It doesn't hurt to mention this as well, I guess ;)
- non-solid coal train cart
In the north and east are train-carts filled with coal. You can simply walk through them.
Note: The Locomotive in mission 1 has the same problem. Only the boiler is solid. The drivers cabin and the lower parts are non-solid.

That isn't the most recent zip I sent you. The most recent zip (dated 6/18/2013) has $TrainsDemo19_121.cow. In that zip my WdBxTop and WdBxSide are dated 7/14/2012 and are 256 x 256 as they should be. If yours are more recent than that, then they aren't mine. Some of the textures that Sensut reference are not in my zip at all (LampBLK, LocoSpring, Image19). IIRC you said that you were going to re-texture the locomotive to make it dirtier. My guess is that in doing so you inadvertently changed some of the texture sizes. Unfortunately I no longer have the earlier zip that you are referencing, so I can't check it out.

Well, I never got around to re-texturing anything. It doesn't matter. What's done is done.
