This may seem like a pathetic question, but I seriously don't know how. Can anyone help me?

Nasty title and takes a while to load, but it's good advice.

Unfortunatley the World Of Trainz tutorials on PSP and Photoshop seem to have disappeared.

Remember the golden rule: DON'T CHANGE THE NAMES OF ANY FILES!!!

Thanks mate, I'm gonna try it

 

[whistlehead]

You are very welcome, and I hope you succeed in your attempts.

Just to add to this, how do you clone an engine/wagon/whatever?

 

[srr89]

Go into CMP and right click the asset, and go to Clone.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am I right in thinking that's 2006 and up?

You are correct.

I have 2004. So no offence, but that won't help.

Realistically TS2009 is the easiest for content creation it picks out the errors and you can create TRS2004 level content in it.

TRS2004 you can do the same but you copy folders and manually change kuids in config files. TS2009 saves a lot of time doing this.

Where do you find config files?

Where do you find config files?

In TS2009 right click the cloned asset then edit in explorer.

TRS2004 have a dig in the TRS2004 folder and look for world, below that is something like local and that's where you copy the item to be reskinned into but don't forget to manually change the kuid number. It's much simpler in TS2009.

Can't find it

Can't find it

If you live in the UK Amazon.co.uk have TS2009 for 6 quid something. Otherwise look for something like C:\program files\Auran etc.

There is something called windows help that may assist you in locating the folders.
