Kelley Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I've been applying decals of Soviet Revolutionary Posters over brick wall. The posters go on fine, then after a while, disappear. The white areas on the wall show where the posters were. The one remaining [near ground level] has since disappeared. The container in the PWS then changes from 'SOV. POSTER_01' to 'SOV. POSTER_011' [or...SOV.POSTER_03' to 'SOV.POSTER_031'] The 'Image' inside the container says 'SOV.POSTER_01'. Is the brick [as first decal applied] over-riding the poster? Something else?[attachmentid=13991] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhar Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Looks like another case of duplication Dude, what is it with you & duplicating? First the wheels now the posters? See if these are duplicates of the same ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Those images somehow haven't been applied. If you select on the image icon in the PWS and go to properties, then you can select the image to apply. You can see the ones that are applied have a thumbnail of the image beside the decal folder.

heyvern Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 My concern is the file name. Probably I am barking up the wrong tree... Would a "." in the middle of a file name cause any trouble with AM? SOV.POSTER_01 Vernon "!" Zehr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Oh yeah...I didn't even think that was a valid character in a name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhar Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 It's gotta be a glitch. Hey Robert; is it still doing it? Does the problem still exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelley Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 It's gotta be a glitch. Hey Robert; is it still doing it? Does the problem still exist? Vern takes home the marbles on this one! It was the 'dot' [.] in the poster name. I deleted each .tga from the Library, re-named them on my hard-drive, and dragged each back to the library. Problem solved. Then Poster#1 disappeared! Following Ken's lead, I was looking in Properties and discovered that where it should say Image:color, it said Image:none. [also, the icon had disappearred in PWS] Poking around, I opened the little arrow next to 'Image:' and got the whole list of icons from the top section [images] in PWS. I found that the Poster#1 name with the dot had somehow not got deleted and it was defaulting back. After deleting it, and specifying the replacement, all is well. Dhar: your comment, 'what's with you and duplicating?' is still a good one. Both my Decals folder, and Groups, are filled with duplications. But I'm going to open another thread on that. Thanks for all the help.[attachmentid=14048] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhar Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Vern; applause, applause - good call Robert, thanks for sharing your experiences. I'll remember this one in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
