How To Reskin in Trainz 12

[TVRM4501]

I have tried re-skinning several steam locomotives in Trainz & every time I try to commit a re-skin it say, "failed to commit". Why won't it let me re-skin?

What's the exact error message? There's a few errors that start with that.

This is the exact message, " Error: Unable to load source texture 'hash-4d\copytempsrcll9t42sj15\blw_con_body\blw282.convert-tex' in subst 'local' ".

Which graphics editor are you using, is the texture file exactly the same size after you have edited? Traditionally you've edited a .tga file and saved it with compression which is the default in many editors.

I use Paint.Net

And the file size / type? I'm pretty sure even paint.net saves compressed .tga by default you'll need to save uncompressed.

Ok, I will try saving them uncompressed.
