Reskin Troubles

[watemple]

Hello JR. I am trying to reskin your BNSF SD60M Heritage but after I make edits to the map1.tga, it shows up fine in PEV Mesh viewer but no edits are shown in the game. Is there any way to make the edits show?

did you commit the asset? If not, you need to commit it: dunno about Trainz for Windows, but on mac it says "Submit Edits"...

Also, the file NEEDS to be a .tga file. if not, it won't show up. To convert a .PSD or .XCF, or any other paint program's file name to .TGA, use THIS site. JUST DO NOT click ANY one of the green "download" buttons, they are ADS, and likely contain viruses. http://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-tga

Thanks!

That unit has the skin changing ability and pulls the loco skins from a separate folder. Look for the file named "BNSF SD60 Loco skins" kuid2:45324:28005:1. Those are the one you see in game.

I found the folder, but do I have to put the skinned ones into that folder?

Yes you'd put the skin(s) in that folder, then go to the config and set the unit up to use the skins in that folder.
