K, that usually means there's a duff path in a child object. How that happened I have no idea, but I'm rechecking it. Might wanna uninstall via the package manager, I notice the packager didn't actually remove all the backup files when I asked it to...

Edit: ok, forgot I'd done some custom coupler blueprints. New rwp going up when I can persuade the package manager to stop scanning...

And uploaded, 8.7MB file. Still needs the shapes copied over.

GP9s are addictive and far too easy to start painting :P. But... has anyone tried the one I linked? given the hassles I've had with RW quirks and far simpler scripts recently I need to know people other than me can make the engine work.

Magic hat spawned magic camera... spying on the paintshops.

Got work to do and after that I can have a fresh look at the Geeps, so nothing anytime soon. At least everything loads into the latest game now... I still don't remember how to do the more tricksy stuff like the movable numbering, but that'll come back. Questions though:

* What colour CP caboose roofs? yellow cupola roof I think?
* Anyone got a top view of a pacman geep?

Silver?! I bet they stayed silver for ooh, half an hour at best...

Next question, are there any gondolas around which don't map one side to the other? seems all of GN's do, and the RSC NS one. Not much good for CP paint...

Your old post with the libraries are still here on RWA. I learned a ton from them, including your secret to child numbering *!!wink!!*

Idle doodles between bursts of work. Seems I can remember weathering, at least.

CN quality. Genuine paint ( minus graffiti so far ).

Well, I found some dimensions for torpedo tanks & knocked some up, but I think they lied - either that or the RSC GP9 is somewhat smaller than it should be. Have to start again, I guess ( not that much hassle ).

If anyone can find some shots of the pipework at the back, would be appreciated.

Found a couple of hours, tanks seem to fit now:

Now all the fiddly pipes at the back, and then unwrapping all the fiddly pipes ugh.

And somewhat later... thanks to Michael sending me some dimensions, an autonumbered flatcar too. I'm still procrastinating doing the umpteen number sets needed to finish all these paints :S ( and all the boxcar doors, urgh )

Sadly no time for modelling, so no more work on the tanks/various overlays needed for autonumbers etc. Painting helps me code though(!), at least until I can't find odd corners someone's mapped in stupid places.

Today needed a lot of stress relief.
