3Dtrains GP9 extra things – image 1

New look to the GP9, just by adding one line to the ENG file: Erie or Penn Central type MU sockets and sunshades so far. No extra textures needed, as I mapped these to the original textures.
I made this addon piece in TSM, so the shape file is the original (except rotated 180 degrees).Maybe it's possible to make the weather-window or the an extra light, see the last pic.

RE: 3Dtrains GP9 extra things

Very nice enocell!You know, the 3DTrains v1 GP9 may be getting a bit long in tooth... but just noticing in your pics... it's still a FINE piece of equipment. I especially like the low-poly nature of the model in comparison to recent locomotives trends. Got a feeling they'll still be in service on my routes for a long, long time. Andre

i was jsut thinking to myself, Hmmm, you can add loads to gondolas, why not Extra stuff to Locomotives? Wanna give it a shot with a Dynamic Brake grid?

I uploaded an update for the three black Erie and EL GP7's. It contains these MU connections, walkways, sunshades and the large light for #1200. I think EL had these high MU's to use the geeps with th FM units. LV geeps doesn't have these.

RE: 3Dtrains GP9 extra things

Nice job Enocell. Now could you let us in on the trick. Maybe a real short tutorial on adding on to existing equipment. This is another historical breakthru for modeling!!!Dave

This extra pieces addon needs some edits to the GP9A.TGA, alpha channel must be changed as well or the walkway is not visible.
Sunshades will be green unless you change the color.Dynamic brake is mapped to the GP9B.BMP and to the fan in the pic.

It has now the same piece added. But I have bad news, the whole thing needs some editing because of this "log" appearing in the cab.The lights are made by using it and the transparent area on the texture is there on purpose: it removes this thing. I placed the walkway to this area and it's now showing in the cab:-(I'll try to add one 64x64 or 128x128 texture for the walkway and sunshade. That way the original textures can be used without editing. I'll also ask Nels to remove the Erie/EL GP7 update as it suffers this bug as well.

Do you have the sounds installed?My path looks like this:
D:\Train Simulator\TRAINS\TRAINSET\Common.Snd\EMD567with EMD567_power_cruise1.wav and
X_EMD567_power_cruise1.wavin there.

No, I don't have them. I'd already checked Common.Snd, thought I might have downloaded them in the past.

I have several other PC and PRR GP9's but those are not my repaints so I will need to ask permission for updating from the original creators.

RE: 3Dtrains GP9 extra things

Enocell,is it possible to remove components,such as winterization hatches,from a model?

It may be possible with this model, but I haven't tried. With models without alpha/trans materials it won't be possible. Transparent areas were black.
