For the past 12 hours, I've been working on a repaint of the BNSF SD75I in the CN livery. I've seen people attempt to make a CN SD75I repaint (ATSF3814 is a good example), but to no avail. I've decided to take it on myself, and here's the progress I've made:






I had to modify the BNSF SD75I Geo file to work with the extra custom textures. There were a couple of issues I went through while making this repaint, but other than that, I was able to successfully make a CN SD75I repaint, and will be published through Railworks America or through my other websites.

The final product will have two repaints: A CN SD75I and a CN SD75I with URL. I might include it with two scenarios for the Ohio Steel 2 route: One Standard, one Free Roam.

If you like what I have to offer, consider replying (please keep them clean though)! Thanks for looking at this, and I hope you find it interesting. :)

If you had to modify the GeoPcDx file to make this work, then you won't be able to upload or share it legally.

Here's a picture of both variations of the CN SD75I repaint:


I'm hoping to get it out on Railworks America as soon as possible. You'll need to modify the BNSF SD75I Geo file (not included) for both CN SD75I variations using RW_Tools, which I'll provide instructions for in the repaint pack. I might end up releasing the two Ohio Steel scenarios (Standard and Free Roam) on the Steam Workshop.

Do you know how to change the numbers?

Yes, I do. I changed them in a .dcsv file in the Engine directory, and I added the numbers (and IDs) there.

If you want to automate the geo file modification with a script, I can help.
It would save you a lot of support hours.

That would be great!

Is there a difference between pirating something and telling someone how to pirate something?

I'm pretty sure there isn't. The repaint pack does require some tweaking of the Geo file with RW_Tools, which I'll be able to provide instructions for on the Read Me file when I do release it.

No I meant texture wise. The numbers look a little dark on my eye.

Oh, that. I converted all the primarynumber TgPcDx files to DDS (thanks to RSBinTool), edited the DDS files in Photoshop, converted them back to TgPcDx, and it worked.

No pirating is involved here.
You must already own the geo file before you can modify it.
And yes, there is a huge difference.

You are correct sir.

I can see why, the author entered absolute paths to the texture files, instead of relative paths.
This prevents any repainting.

You uploaded 2 versions, which one is good??
