P40, P42, P32AC-DM for Open Rails - Lessons Learned & New Progress

[Whatever2006]

Update:

Been a bit busy and crazy on both of our ends recently. Kyle is gearing up for yet another big event, so we're going to try and get a 0.95, possibly 0.99 release out middle of next week.

A lot of small things need to be tied up, so Kyle and I will get those done this week.

Good luck to the both of you, Parker and Kyle.

Not to be THAT guy, but any updates on this project? Love the work so far

Really, I read through this thread and say, Please tell me this was not all an illusion!

Hi,

Nope, not an illiusion. Work has slowed since both Kyle and I have been rather busy as of late, but the plan is to wrap up the cab in winter.

Glad to hear it. This has to be one of most amazing models I've seen in a long time. And maybe once it gets released, it will motivate me to finally tackle the Viewliner II and Amfleet II equipment I've been wanting to do for a long while but have lacked motivation (and reference material outside of photos)

What do you all think about me just releasing what was shown above this weekend?

I've been thinking a lot about this, and have shelved some other side projects. I'm not sure I can commit to totally finishing the cab but everything else is essentially done so why not just give it to the community and let people start using. Update for the cab in the future perhaps.

It's pretty functional in there, just missing details outside of the front view of the controls and windshield. Thoughts?

Are the textures in .ace or .dds?

[Strawberry Yogurt]

They're in .dds, but I'll include a layered template in the download.

[FireEngine]

Yeah! Release them ready to run! Make sure to include in the readme file whats required for them to run for the shape and cabview files!

Everything is included, shape files, textures, sounds. They should drop in and run with no other downloads necessary. It's been a while since I've seen what's been implemented in Open Rails but many of the lighting features only work properly in experimental builds so that would be the only requirement, hopefully.

There's some nuance to the .SD files, there's an E-Bell, steel bell, and some antenna variants that people can mix and match should the rivet counters really want to match liveries, I'll do my best in the readme.

What are the locomotive numbers you are releasing? Also what phase are they in or are they blanks?

I have AMTK #705, MTA #222, AMTK #207, AMTK #800 in the download package, planning on going up tonight.

Try to stick to the topic, which is the Genesis model being discussed.
