I am trying a few new RWA skins; this one for the GE 44t.
This is my first option, if succesful will change to «no RWA logo» and new chassis color...

Feed back are more than welcome....

Sorry for the double posting if you see it on your screen - can't seem to cancel this snafoo

I like it!

Good work

Neat!

Cute!

Now you're giving me ideas to think about for a future shop critter repaint... I need to clear up my backlog before I see more! All kidding aside, nice work. It's a A1 success by my reckoning.

Thanks to each for your appreciation. I may have to ask for a little patience as I am having a nasty problem to package this gem. I can't find where the glitch is - RW_Tools does not report any errors in the .bin file yet I can't seem to load the GE 44t into the game (does not even show up in TS-2015 engine list)

Will keep you informed of my trial & errors

I don't understand. It was in game when you posted the pictures. Did you do the re-paint on one of the other ones and you are having problems with renaming it or what? Perhaps as a victim of every kind of screw up imaginable in redoing bin files I can be of help.

Agreed, .bin files can be quite nasty buggers...almost like .s files or .eng files in MSTS. It takes a bit of practice and a lot of patience.

Buzz, you are quite right - the screen grab is taken on the RWA Rte and the GE 44t is simple substitution of 3 texture files within the Southern Pacific folder. I was so taten by lazyness (and computer graphics are not new to me nor the importance of doing saves - you should see all the photoshop backups that I have just for this engine! ). Thus the GE 44t, as we speak, is part of the DTM/GE44ton-SP folder structure and I have created a integral version of a new folder named DTM/GE44ton-RWA; and at this point «nada» - nothing is pickable.

I shall go back to each sub-folder and check if the links are properly renamed, or pointing to its new address and that nothing is missing. Bare with me as I shall have to put this project on hold till my car problem is solved, a week hopefully

I admit, it's a total mystery and Holloween is over

OK go into the GE 44ton folder and take the SP one and copy and paste it outside somewhere. Rename it RWA and paste it back into from where it came. Go into the bin folder and change the name in all four places where it says SP to RWA. Then go and replace each \SP\ to \RWA\ and you should be all set.

Buzz ...
That's exactly what I did there is something subtle and burried that has escaped me

Here you go. Your RWA folder needs to be inside the GE44Ton-SP\Railvehicles\folder. In other words in the same place as the Southern Pacific folder.My previous instruction was wrong. I didn't go look before opening mouth and inserting foot at how this file structure was done.

Thank You Buzz; much appreciated; I'll look into it and play with the files you sent me. Since, I have resolved a simpler folder structure and the «RWA GE 44 Ton» will be part of the DMT/GE 44 Ton/RailVehicles folder hierarchy. This is the version I shall distribute.

For pragmatic uses I also have another setup (so far, for personal use) : Assets\RWA\Lakeside\RailVehicles\Diesel\GE 44 Ton\RWA. I like to have any rolling stock related to RWA within this unique folder stucture; mind you migration from elsewhere can be a tedious endeavor.

Now, preparing the package

... and thanks to all for your encouragement; P.S. Have you seen my serie on the exBO caboose conversion to RWA caboose ?

Good news TS2015 is re-installed on a new SSD drive and I finally have access to my Steam account. I have quit a few installations to be up and running but I shall package the RWA GE 44ton reskin as soon as possible ( it may be after Xmas! but a New Year gift is probable )
