i donno about cabboses but with changeing the xml's a bit you can have two locomotives like i did in the pic bellow.

but for the f series you can have the A unit with a B unit for extra train power if you download the files that are in the WIP 4-8-4 FEF 3 Northern thread on page 5 along with some screenshots

GP7.

This Mod adds the Diesel GP7 to the game. It includes both a lead and an 2nd unit. I have also included the base textures so that you can make your own color maps.

If you have any questions either ask them here or email me at Eilelwen@hotmail.com

		</TextKey>

-> Save and Close.

-> Repeat the Above Steps for files: Names_ENU.xml,Names_ESP.xml,Names_FRA.xml,Names_ITA.xml,Names_NLD.xml.

Now for adding this train to a map I suggest you don't use a map that you won't use in multiplayer, I made a whole new set of maps, that way I could still play in multiplayer.

Really I suggest using Akmads Scenario Manager.

But if you must do it manually add this to one of the train xml files in the scenario folder.

Code: Select all

  <Train>
    <szName>TAG_NAME_GP7</szName>
  </Train>

That should be it, if everythings working right you can now enjoy the GP7

That is sweet ,and Thanx

[eilelwen]

yea, if you see Eilelwen 99% of the time its me.

[dwax]

T this is a great mod! thank you for all your hard work!

[Woulfe]

I wonder if it's possible to do this in Gmax instead of 3Dmax, seeing as they are made by the same company, well, used to be anyway before Autodesk dropped Gmax like a hot potato.

You can still download Gmax, just not get any support / help from Autodeck for it anymore, not like it's a bad thing really, a lot of fan sites show the ins and outs of Gmax anyway, so it's no big deal that Autodesk no longer supports it.

I know how to make things in Gmax.

[eilelwen]

well the models could be done in gmax no problem, the exporting would still need maya/max though.

But again I'm willing to do that step it dosn't take that long.

[snoopy55]

Interesting what a little playing with files can do. Now to get a dummy for the GP-Series and put 1 of each together.

BeeR??
