Reskinning in TS2010

[Eaglepilot6]

How can I reskin an object (locomotive) in TS2010? I've tried searching the forums and online for tutorials, but everything I've come across can either no longer be found or is out of date (TS2006).

My problem is that the files are in .texture format and cannot be read by paint, paint.net, or IRFanView. How do I convert .texture to a readable format?

Between this and route building using DEMs (also not working) I'm ready to give up on creating a prototypical route.

I can help you with some pointers on Transdem, and laying track on a DEM.

You will need to use PEV's images2TGA utility to convert the .texture files to files that you can edit.

Get it on Shane's tutorial page here:

When you get the textures converted, a tutorial on reskinning locos in TRS2012 is here:

It should be the same for 2010.
