Having trouble repainting Amtrak p42dc numbers in gimp.

Unread postby penny622 » Tue Apr 07, 2020 4:42 pm

So I’m just about finished reskinning the Amtrak p42dc, however there’s one slight problem. I went in and tried to turn the default blue numbers to green. When I placed the changed files into the loco’s .ap file and loaded it into train simulator, nothing changed. The numbers were still blue. Can someone please help me with this?

It could be the digits file. You'd need to change the path in it, or it will continue to point to the original file you cloned the reskin from.

I have found that when doing repaints of the numbers that RSBinTool works better than RW_Tools. For some reason with RW_Tools, it just restores the old textures to the TgPcDx files.
