Jan-22-02, 02:29 AM (EST) 2. "RE: Rock Island Returns" haven't tried them out yet looks good though. Are you goin to upload the GP35? Chip at Dekosoft is supposed to be coming out with a patch for the short hood. So that the maroon won't curve over onto the yellow part. I am doing GP35's #305, and #327.

The hoppers and boxes should be up for download by the weekend too. They are: Rock hopper, ROCX hopper, ROCK box, W&OV box, CNW box. also I have a pic of the same trailer as you used, but it is brand new and the sides of the trailer look like a mirror!

Im sure this only lasted a little while though.

Jan-22-02, 03:50 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Rock Island Returns" LAST EDITED ON Jan-22-02 AT 03:54 PM (EST)Hey Enocell- can you help me with transparent windows?I just frittered my whole evening away trying to make transparent windows in a model that had none and I must've gone through those steps a dozen times and I can't figure out why they keep coming up solid!I ran these steps over and over:
Using PSP7,
Click Masks on the upper row.
On the pop menu go to NEW.
On the next menu, click FROM IMAGE.
In the new window,click ANY NON-ZERO VALUE. then OK.
I Click Masks on the upper row. Select Load From Alpha Channel
Now go back to the MASKS drop menu.
Click VIEW MASK, Then click EDIT MASK.
Now I paint the area I want transparent black. It should change the Alpha.
Make sure to SAVE TO ALPHA CHANNEL before I close out, and delete the mask, don't merge it.
I save every file I'm working on as a TGA, for just this reason.
And nothing. I just don't get it. What is going wrong??
Any ideas??

Jan-22-02, 04:09 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Rock Island Returns" I don't believe you can add transparent windows if they weren't in the original model. Even if you were able to it would look like a big see through hole. There would be nothing to see on the inside if it wasn't originally added to the model.Brian Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Jan-22-02, 04:12 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Rock Island Returns" As an example I tried adding an open door to one of the original boxcar models. If I remember correctly all I got was a big hole in the side. You couldn't see any inside walls or the roof. I tried doing this before the open door boxcar was available.Brian Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Jan-22-02, 05:15 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Rock Island Returns" Thanks Brian! You should be able to make a new alpha channel, but you're right about the big hole. I'll find some other alternative.
Thanks!db

There is one in original paint up by Waterloo Ia.On the Iowa Northern line.And also as Johnny Cash used to sing"We are right on time but this is yesterdays train!"or even better"What a hell of a way to run a railroad line!"Still it was THE best railroad in my book.
