Question on the new NAVS Hopper conversion kit

[marklester01]

I'm not sure what you mean. These models are set up the be standalone in a car folder, so you have to edit the carbody texture name for each model as laid out in the directions. The only hard-coded paths are to the common textures for parts (brake rigging, triple valve, brake cylinder) that weren't on the original model and trucks (if so desired).[/QUOTE]

Ok, I have one Folder decided to a whole railroad to make it easier. Inside I have each one labeled,Rd.Name & FRA Number afterwards including .DDS,.S, & .Wag. Inside The .Wag's I've got The Name Line Titled: ( "3Bay FMC Rd.Name FRA Number " ). This way it's easier for me to remember.

[QUOTE=geepster775;n2286815]During the heyday of quick repaint packages popping up in the library every couple of days (6pack72.zip, the 72nd 6 pack of repaints), it became common for the 'shirt' to not match the 'pants', just because the crap was being cranked out so fast. Very little effort was put in to matching the side photo colors to the bottom bays and the car ends. The ends and bottoms were so reused and recycled that any dimensional data wording on them became laughingly unreadable. Compress.... compress.... compress again. Package it up and ship it out to the file library ASAP!

Yes, The bottoms, sides, or both weren't being repainted on so many. This esp. seemed to've happened alot with The BN or The BNSF-BN Repaints of Cascade Green. Plus, alot never even had Rd.Names or numbers on the sides on the top. But( I'm sure you're aware ), Ted's Textures are fully compatible with the even less detailed PS-2 done by Trouble P( I think ).

NAVS should make conversion kits for different types of PS covered hoppers because the common PS-2 type had a few variations, such as jacking pads

They're just two different NAVS product lines.

What is NAVS?

Items like that are usually easily added using a freight animation by the end users.

Oh my, I don't think I saw these listed on the open rails page that lists 3rd party vendors.
How many more gems like this are out there, where the only way to know of them is to see them casually mentioned in a forum post?

[eric]

NAVS is one of several high quality freeware/payware shops that exist within the community and make their items available here and on Elvas.

OpenRails is perhaps too selective in who they're listing on their website.

Upgraded the first couple of sets today. Very nice work. I do plan on visiting the NAVS store to make several purchases soon myself. These are fantastic in my opinion and they do breathe new life in.

Some of the other stuff at Tiger is also pretty good. Unfortunately Ian's had stuff going on taking him away from model building.

In that case, I guess I'm not certain what the question is - you can have as many repaints as you want in a folder. You just need to make sure the models have discreet names and match them to the appropriate texture as indicated in the documentation.

So I can, but I'd have to move where it was & Consist? Ok
