CP Rail SD40-2 Headlight Placement

[gtw5812]

Hello Everyone,

I recently downloaded the CP Bathtub Sulphur Gondolas, and CP Rail SD40-2 repaints. This locomotives are very nicely don, and have lots of objects, to make them "CP Rail" specific, ie; high mounted bells, winter hatches, hoods, etc. Due to the placement of the high bell, on the cab above the windshield, and the headlight being placed in the low hood, the headlight "glow" is in the wrong place. I was curious if anyone has experienced this problem, and is there a way to move the headlight to the lower position. I believe that these are Mike "Murdans" repaints, but I am not sure. They use the newer Kuju SD40-2 model. I have attached photos.

Thanks,

Galen

I can't believe I haven't seen a picture showing me what's wrong. If you do I will try to help you.

He is wondering why the nose headlight doesn't light up...

Please notice, ditch lights on Buzz.....but no nose headlight. It is still in the original position, above the windshield, hidden behind the add on Canadian bell.

Tell me how I can be sure to be messing with the "late" model and I'll see if I can move it. I have done that before on other locomotives.

Hi Buzz,

These are the SD40-2's, located in the Kuju folder, that were packaged with the Sulphur bathtub gonodolas recently uploaded. I downloaded the whole package from Murdan's site, however, the gon's are located now in the file library here. When I use the scenario builder, you can see the headlight, located on the locomotive, behind the new bell. I hope that helps.

Unfortunately you will have to go back to the author. The lower headlight is put on there as a child object and while I can move where the headlight shines from, what makes it show up as being illuminated is a part of the Geo that Mike created and should be a texture of some kind, It doesn't seem to exist at this time.

Hello
Sorry to bother... especially since I can't help with the problem but... where are those nifty looking repaints from?
Cheers!

You can try to make a light glow as another child object?

Why don't you go back to the author over on that other page and ask them to fix it?

Why are you telling me that? It was only a suggestion.

It was a pretty tongue-in-cheek comment regarding his thoughts about the author who decided it's better to have his own forum with blackjack, hookers, and lack luster DLC support.

[buzz456]
