Please, help an old man save his hair!

Oh, nice, thanks for the link. That's large amounts of the annoying bits out of the way.

You'll have to ask Mr Cowen about the headlight, too specific a problem for me to know what the matter is I'm afraid :(

It was a pathing error... unless I can back up a folder in the .geo, I'll have to put a copy of the skins in the '\Fitting\Textures\' folder.



I wonder if the old '\...\...\Engine\Textures' would work to back up to the \F7\ directory and then on to the correct path?

Oh, and look out, two bloody noses coming tomorrow! Hmmmm... do the lights on that E7 look funny?

Mike... why is it that you always make me think its Christmas?

I hate to have something not work, I'll dog it to death if need be... Next: an E7 Warbonnet in red!

I will need to check if there is a daylight F7 in RW (I know the Black Widow is)... if not I would like to request that one as well.

Is it the freeware or payware geo? you can just edit the paths in the geo, but if it's the payware one then you obviously can't distribute it. Unless it was a child geo? ( I'm a bit lost by now :) ) then you might be able to shuffle some paths around in the child blueprint.

It's in one of the fittings .geo files... I may be able to enter a literal string. It should be distributable, but I'll need to check with Dick. Otherwise, I'll just double the texture files for the double headlight jobs.

Edit: Now to find my wire and a soldering iron... dern light looks silly without being lit. It would be fun to have the top Red/white combo light light red when in reverse. There is a red light glow, used for the rear bulkhead lights.

The final solution turned out to be simple, as brute force usually is. I just moved the fittings child .bin and .geo files that I used for a particular model into the \engine\ folder and edited the .bins to point there to find the .geo. That way, the .geo files wound up looking in the \engine\textures\ folder, and of course that's where the actual skins are. This saves duplicating the skin files, and in fact can make the .rwp much smaller, as you only pack what you need for a particular model.

there is one sitting in the RS file library at TS.com but it is offset in colour just by a bit compaired to the lightweight cars from GTrax. you need RWTools to fix the .exe so it downloads into RW and not RS.

Or you could just ignore the exe & install it by copying the stuff to the right place.

Could you give me a direct link? I can find it over there.

Wierd, i downloaded it earlyer this year but now it is not there? well i took mine and packaged it up and will be sending it to the file library now.
