4.268 - Recycled wall panels?

[Gibsonm]

Is it just me, or does it look like the roof is made up of a front wall panel (2 x windows and a door):

I'd suggest to check your mods folder. Those are not standard textures delivered with  SB itself, or with map package.

 

With 'stock' textures exactly same spot should look like this:

I only have vehicle and pers mods - no building, or terrain ones.

 

Just checking to see if other participants saw them too.

Map packages allow to have texture mods applied directly to them, so it is worthy to check if base package contains anything in _package_name_\actors\textures

I think I understand that.

 

If I'm right then from this screenshot I don't have an "Actors" folder, let alone a "Textures" one within it:

As I wrote above- this particular texture is not standard and does not comes with SB or maps included to  our maps installer.  I'm trying to say, that very  likely there is modified sbarn.dds file for Barn2 ID#51  on  your computer, and thing with mods(especially theme-specific mods), that it is very easy to forget about them- I made that mistake several times myself.

 

Please check contents of following folders for modified  Sbarn.dds:

My Documents\eSim Games\Steel Beasts\mods\textures\woodland
My Documents\eSim Games\Steel Beasts\mods\textures\autumn
_your_maps_directory_\Scania_edited [autocreated base]\actors\textures

In most extreme case it is worth to check what is going on in Program Files\eSim Games\SB Pro PE\textures\woodland and  Program Files\eSim Games\SB Pro PE\textures\autumn

...by default there no dedicated 'autumn' or 'desert' versions of sbarn.dds,  while default woodland looks like this:

Yes but you also directed me to the maps package area - hence my reply.

Well again as I've already shown you there is nothing there.

 

Off to the next stop on the Easter egg hunt.

OK I did find this:

 

 

How do I check to see if its been modified? Or does the first sentence::

 

"As I wrote above- this particular texture is not standard and does not comes with SB or maps included to  our maps installer."

 

Mean that it shouldn't be there at all and it should be removed?

I suppose you could rename it and see if that results in a white barn. If it doesn't, there must be another one somewhere, probably in one of the subdirectories of your Documents/eSim Games/Steel Beasts/mods folder.

Once that you found it, give the original file its name back.

That's where the one above is.

 

From the top of the screenshot: C:\Users\mark\Documents\eSim Games\Steel Beasts\mods\textures\autumn

 

My question is there was a comment about checking for a "modified" file as well as "this particular texture is not standard" so I'm trying to find out if I should just remove this if its not meant to be there?

 

In the meantime, I've renamed it "junk Sbarn" and I'll see what happens when / if I replay this scenario.

Update:

 

Renaming "Sbarn.dds"' to "junk Sbarn.dds" results in:

 

 

No idea why that 10 year old files is there.

[Ssnake]

Well, at least you found and removed it. Not sure if it's worth your time trying to figure out what might have happened a long time ago.
