Railworks America

Hey guys!



I'm messing with the amtrack 40th locomotive and figured out there's only 1 number: 145.Is there any other way I can add more number rotations so that it's random numbering?

There is only one P42DC loco for each heritage livery:-
Phase I - 156
Phase II - 66
Phase III - 145
Phase IV - 184

So any other combination would be inaccurate and fictional!

I wouldn't mind if there were more numbers to the Phase 3 Heritage P42. I mean, We could run two Phase 3 heritage units with newer amtrak cars since amtrak is going back (Or Changing to) Phase 3 again ( or Phase 6) if you think about it.

(Go ahead,call me out about old posts)
No I just want to add #822.
And the new Ph III (Ph VI) also had "Amtrak America" with the ph V "stripes" at the center.

Is it using the auto-numbering? If it is it's easy, if not it would take paint work. Look and see if there is a dscv file in the engine folder and what's in there? You can open it with notepad.

Changed the numbers in the dscv into 822,and no,it doesn't use auto-numbering.

How did you change it? I don't want to screw up my assets with out confirming it.

Learn how to do a backup before you start changing things. Then you can always go back.

I did. But I need to know what to put in to the dscv

You have to assure you have a blueprint in your engine bin pointing to the right dcsv name in the right address. This is only an example from the P42C in Miami:

Code: Select all

               
<NumberingList>
   <cCSVContainer>
      <CsvFile d:type="cDeltaString">DTG\Miami\RailVehicles\Diesel\P42DC\Amtrak\Locomotive\P42_Amtk_numbers</CsvFile>
   </cCSVContainer>
</NumberingList>

And something else. If you want only one number to appear, leave only one instance of number definition in the dcsv, instead of changing all numbers to 822.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<cCSVArray xmlns:d="http://www.kuju.com/TnT/2003/Delta" d:version="1.0" d:id="1">
   <CSVItem>
      <cCSVItem d:id="2">
         <X d:type="sFloat32">0</X>
         <Y d:type="sFloat32">0</Y>
         <Name d:type="cDeltaString">822</Name>
      </cCSVItem>
   </CSVItem>
</cCSVArray>

But will i be able to use 145 too

Nope doesent work

It seems to change back to 145 when I look in the DSCV file

I had understood Zek was needing only the 822.

To add the 145, add another cCSV instance after the 822, increasing the id (2 to 3) and changing 822 to 145. And so on to add numbers.

Code: Select all

<cCSVItem d:id="3">
         <X d:type="sFloat32">0</X>
         <Y d:type="sFloat32">0</Y>
         <Name d:type="cDeltaString">145</Name>
</cCSVItem>


I have always wondered if there is a way to write this automatically when you have a long sequence of numbers

When i save it, it goes back to 145 in the file.
