MSTS Illinois Central SD70 Ten-Pack. These are ten repaints that are numbered from the Streamlines Norfolk Southern Continuous Welded Rail Trainset. In order for you to use the renumbers, you must own this set for the freight animation shape file, locomotive shape file, and sound folder. Also, you will need the MSTS SHR EMD-STD-70 Cab for cabview by Charles Sibaja (SHRSTD70.ZIP). Original shape by Streamlines. Repaint and renumbers by Don Newman, Jr.

And when I make a train in the editor, it shows up as this:




But in the game, it shows up as this:




Any idea on what is going on here??

[Rick-MONON]

Check your .eng file

The line:
WagonShape ( XXXXXXX.s )

the XXXXXXX should be changed to the shape for that .eng file you are trying to get.

[wcl]

They do say

Wagon ( IC_SD70_1001
Type ( Engine )
WagonShape ( IC_SD70_1001.s )
FreightAnim ( IC_SD70_1001FA.s 1 1 )
Size ( 3.55m 4.43m 21.6m )
Comment ( 395,000 lbs )

I just don't get how it shows up IC on the editor, but in the game, it shows up NS?? How is that even possible??

[rdayt]

Looks like you may have to edit the .s files to use the correct textures.
It's not hard to do.

SFm. Shape File manager is what I use to change the textures. They're easy enough to find as you scroll down the .s file

[wcl]

That's odd that they didnt say to edit any of the .S files in the readme but to just rename the stuff instead

Not odd...a very common mistake I've found in many of the readme's...my practice is to check the shape files/images to make sure they refer to the proper ace files.

[dcarleton]

The archive contains ace files and dds files. Could it be that the ace files are IC and the dds files are NS? Or vice versa?

Good day, I did these back some time ago and I checked the .s files and sure enough I emended them,

Gerry is right on, that's exactly what I do

[rdayt]

How did CE know which textures to use?
Curiouser and curiouser.

I'm thinking you would have to open the dds files to change to IC, would you not? I never put them in with the ones I did.

So to fix this issue do I go into SFM and change the .s file to match the .ace file?

[R. Steele]

The following should clear up the mystery as to why the CE and OR displayed them as the OP illustrated

The ICRR repaints were done using ace files, the DDS are the original NS textures. So with the DDS option checked in OR all the engines show as the same NS original number. The DDS files need to be stored, so when the DDS options is checked in OR the locomotives will appear with the newer ace file, which are the ICRR logos. July 31, 2015 gds

The above is a note I made to myself and included with the set.
