4-8-8-4 Bigboy (new Model)

wingsofphoenix · Post by **wingsofphoenix** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 9:14 am

The Engine is a mod of Rodea2007's Bigboy (found HERE), so all credit for the files i used or changed goes to him. The Tender is a mod of my FEF Tender.

Version 1.1:

- smooth engine and tender models
- minor texture fix

Version 1.0 Changes:

1. Model:
- - almost complete new (just used Rodea's as reference and kept some minor details in, e.g. bell, numberplate, ...)
2. Texture:
- complete new
3. Animation: (as seen in pic #2 below)
- - fixed Valve Gear Animation to match the Walschaert standard (not Rodea's fault, the Mikado he used has the wrong animation)
  - Articulated Front (Pilot, Trailing Bogie, Front Drive Wheels)
  - 180° Offset Angle between 1st and 2nd Set of Drive Wheels and Rods
  - Adjustments to Rod Positions to match the new Texture
  - Adjusted Engine Animation (bell position), because of slightly increased length of the model

Specifications:

- Decal Texture (Engine and Tender) included in the Engines DIFF (UP #4012)
- Centipede Coal Tender (shared animation)
- Polygon Count: 8344 (with Tender)

Pictures:

Installation:
Extract the .zip and start the unpacked selfextracting archive from it and follow the instructions of the included ReadMe for XML editing.

<FIX 1.1b>
- XML readded to the package, fixed path to the ReadMe

Enjoy

I got a challenge for you wingsofphoenix. Think you can make a New York Central Hudson?

hm.. guess I used the wrong path to it on extracting, but it should be inside the 4-8-8-4_BigBoy folder anyway.

Sorry about that

P.S. Fixed the package and included the XML again, try version 1.1b

ok, i got it to unpack but when it does it puts them in 2 folders. They are both zip folders. but when I try to see it in the roundhouse its blank then it crashes the game. idk what to do now.

Yes it should unpack 2 folders, but there shouldnt be any packed zip

Important:
To make it show up follow the readme instructions, BUT for use with a SAM/SAM2 Map you have to exchange any explained folder from \customassets\ to \usermaps\MAPNAMEHERE\ AND you can skip Step 4.1..

hm.. I guess, I should write a new readme someday^^
