:?:
The attempt to repaint a banner (C2baner, same result with Mal's Cp for Castle Rock) by making a new .raw texture and replacing it in the renamed object copy with mdmre's bin texture replacer, ends with a completely black object in the track. The intended texturing appears correctly both in binedit and traxx. Is there an obvious thing I am missing?

sounds like it could be a name conflict, try moving the pod to the very top of the pod.ini and see if that fixes it, if it does then you need to rename the art files to something more unique.

It's not a name conflict. Putting the pod on top of pod.ini did not change anything. Anyway, I always check the filenames before customizing objects.

I tried inserting the object in another track and it appears correctly.
Maybe a palette problem?
Generating a custom palette didn't help either.

Then it 'should' appear fine in the current track. Try deleting it from the track and purging it from the models box. Save and exit traxx. Restart traxx, load your track and insert the model again. I know it's lame but in this case it might actually do something.

Also, when you write the pod, use a different name instead of over writing the old one. You should only need to do that once.

Followed your instructions step by step and object remains pitch black.

Yes, by all means, send it over to mal.

Last question. Do the file names have only eight characters plus the extension?

Actually no. Changed all object names, went through the load-unload, pod procedure again, to no avail.

But :idea: could it be that a naming conflict occurs because the raw file had the same name than the pod-file, although the extension are different?

YES!
Renamed the raw texture to something different and it worked.

So Mal was right
Thanks for your support.
