LAST EDITED ON Jun-18-02 AT 03:05 PM (EDT)Hey all,I've started work on my new CP Rail sw1500 as a re-paint to Mark Toland's sw1500. Here's my problem: I've duplicated the original sw1500 folder, changed the names of the .eng, .sd, and .s files to cp1238.eng, .sd and so on. I then went through the .eng file changing all entries with sw1500 to cp1238 or Canadian Pacific sw1500 1238. I then went into the .sd file and changed it's reference to cp1238.s instead of the old entry. I did my .tga's and retained the same names, sw1500a.tga and so on. I then ran em through makeacewin.exe with only Zlib compression as that's how they were before. I put the ace's back in the folder with the same names: sw1500a, b, and c. Everything else from the original folder was left untouched. Now when I go to the activity editor and make a player consist with it, It doesn't show up in the Diesel Catagory or in any category for that matter. How can I get it there? would anybody like to volunteer a .eng check?Thanks,

RE: Here's a pic of 1238 in real life..

I've had good luck doing the stripes by using a larger image as a "stripe source" and doing the stripes horizontally, then rotating the image as needed and cutting out the area needed to past into the skin.. I;ve got some pre-done stripes somewhere, I'll mail 'em along..cheers

Thank you very much HAC! just make sure you use my mayer43@hotmail.com I don't think my e-mail icon is right... I'll have to talk to Nels about that. I've totally overhauled the unit, I'm doing CP 1299 instead so I'll have too do the CP beaver scheme but I'd still love those stripes! MattAMD K6-2 @380mhz
