No thumbnail in Catalog

[suzetter]

I just did a roof recolor and the new roof shows up i n game and works for all the different rooves. However, there is no thumbnail in the catalog? What do I need to do/check to rectify this? I used S3OC and S3Pe to create the new roof color package. Thanks for any info that will help.

Is it just this particular one, or would you have this problem wth any roof recolour you make?

Hi Inge, I've only ever made the one.

Would be good if you could try using another roof, just in case. Did the image show up ok in s3oc before you cloned?

[suzetter]

Yes, the image was there in S3Oc when I cloned the original. And while the new roof color does show up in game maybe I went about this wrong. Is it possible I exported the wrong file in S3pe but got the almost right results (new roof color but no thumbnail)?

EDIT: There are no THUMs in my package so I'll try deleting the object thumbnail cache and to see if the game generates a thumbnail for the new roof recolor.

Ok I just tried it all out myself and what you have to do is tick "include thumbnails". The catalog images are the ICON resources - 3 of them - you have to edit those.

Thanks Inge. I did that yet they weren't showing up but when I deleted my thumbnails and the game generated new ones and they showed up.

EDit: Oops, just caught that. I was looking for THUM instead of ICON. Anyway, it seems to be aok now. Thanks for your help and a thanks to Peter too for making these tools. Thanks to both of you I have been able to make paintings, a tuning mod, and now a roof recolor. Yay! Next I think I'll make a table. :)
