Mars lights on Sp GS-4 Daylight engine

[Cornelius3985]

Can someone help me with the attachment maker? I want to change the color of the headlight lens to black on the Southern Pacific GS-4 engine and I don't know how to do it. Can someone show me how to mount? I made the attachment point but I need help mounting the headlight lens.

hi Cornelius, there is a section for content creation support

To add anything to the mesh of a loco with attachment maker, you need
-an attachmentpoint, Fi: a.blens ,made in attachment maker (which you did)
save the file as FI added.im
-and a mesh/texture you want to link to that point FI: blacklightlens.im
this can be made in gmax or blender
-make a backup of the loco's config.txt
-then open the loco config.text and find the mesh-table section
add two sections like this below the section that has default {...}


added {
mesh "added.im"
auto-create 1
att-parent "default"
}


blacklens {
mesh "blacklightlens.im"
att "a.blens"
auto-create 1
att-parent "added"
}


if you named anything different adjust accordingly
there are a few other ways, but you choose doing it with attachment maker
greetings GM
