Here's a Burlington Northern passenger car. the logo needs to be placed on the body, not by the window.

A few things...Look great. Needs to be finished on the right end. Needs to be saved as a DXT3 type DDS file. And when you save the file, give it a distinguishing name, like 'BN_Passenger_Car_v2_diff.dds'. Including the rest of the files set to load it would help also.

Keep going...... :wink:

Looks great!

Now, do you know how to do the NIF, KFM and the XML files?

No, I don't think so,, I might be able to modify Firaxis' XML's but I wouldn't feel comfortable trying. I lke the locomotives from theBasin and Range map, but don't want the map, is ther any way I can install them separately? It crashes my PC!

Go into Construction Set, 'Building Blocks Are Us announces Engines Are Us!' and you should find most of those engines.
If you want to do more of the Passenger Cars, I can see about doing some basic files needed and instruction on how to create the final files you need. It isn't hard to do once you see it. I can turn out the files once the DDS is done in less that 10 minutes. It comes down to renaming files and then a little copy and paste.

Interested? :mrgreen:

When you repaint, you are, in effect, doing new models. You basically take the Passenger Car NIF, KFM and XML and do some renaming. That is it simply.

As I said, if you want copies of the files and step-by-step instructions, ask.

Did you find the Engines you were looking for?

I'd like instructions and the files,please, also, could someone please paint the passenger car white so it can be used as a template? I haven't looked for the locomotives.

Alright, let's see if I wrote this so it can be understood. Nothing against you, sometimes a person figures they don;t need to include something cause everyone should know it... :roll:

Let me know what you don't understand or need help with.

If it's okay, I'd rather you do that stuff. Please. It seems complicated.

Something more like this? I can make one just for the passenger car instead of the F7A if you want.

A PERSONAL REQUEST

Post by Modeltrainman » Fri Aug 01, 2008 2:49 am

Could someone please set the red version of the Super Chief up for me so all I have to do is drop it into Custom Assets? All I have are the stock maps and the demo map and I want to use it in Train Table mode. And yes, I would like a white version of the passenger car instead of the F3. Thanks
