I change my file in PS as bmp, open it with MSPaint (while still having the norm.bmp open in MSPaint!), I press ctrl+a to select all in my repaint.bmp, copy and paste it over the norm.bmp and save that one. When you are done reskinning or just want to know how your changes look like in the game just to do the above process reverted. Add a little color here and there, put in some new layers, add a logo, just whatever you want to do with it.Īs you see I didn't change much, but it still looks like a new train Then I load the image up in Photoshop and start my paint job. dds file with DXTBmp and in the menu choose Image -> Send to Editor (if you haven't setup the editor yet, choose Prefs -> Select Editor, I chose MSPaint, but you can also put it directly to Photoshop are whatever you want to use). Now export it to a dds file, from the DDSTool menu and save it somewhere. Makes the paint job a little bit easier on this one. The first two are the outside of the train and pretty much look the same, I think one is for SLA and one for the SLB variant, but the SP livery has no marked first class, so they are really the same. As it turns out, you need 170_d1_nm.TgPcDx, 170_d1_nmc.TgPcDx and 170_d2.TgPcDx.

Time to load up RSBinTool and see what the textures look like. GeoPcDx files in the engines folder if you like. TcPcDx - The Class 170 has a lot of them, not all are really necessary for this repaint. Every train or wagon is built a bit different, uses different texture sets and styles, so the next steps are now only specific for the Class 170, but apply generally to all trains. I find it more convenient to change them all though.Įnough file hacking for now, time to look into the textures folder. There are multiple of those entries and there are different spots for them on different engines, you may not need to change all of them, depending on what you actually change on the engine. Then you need to go carefully go through the file and look for all path references to the livery and adjust them to your new files, for example this one:

I also like to fill out all the localisation entries, don't know if it is really necessary but it can't hurt either That is the name it will appear with in the editor, since there is already an SP livery you need to rename the new one, I changed it from SP to DB.

There are three of them for the different coaches, Class170_DMCL.bin, Class170_DMSL.bin and Class170_MSL.bin.
TRAIN SIMULATOR 2014 TUTORIALS WINDOWS
I simply copied the SP folder within windows and renamed it from "SP - copy" to DB_Repaint. Since the SP livery already had some red colors on it, I chose that one as my base product. Inside you have a bunch of folders which represent the different liveries of the train, e.g. We are looking for a train, so RailVehicles\Class170 is the next stop. In theory RWTools is also able to convert the texture files, but it does not work for me.Īt first I looked which folder the different engines are placed in, since it's from Thomson, go to: Assets\Thomson\Class170Pack01\ Open that with any programme you like, like Photoshop or The Gimp. So that is what we need DXTBmp for, this can open any dds file and make them to a bmp. dds files - there are plugins for Photoshop and Gimp which will open it directly, unfortunately they don't work on 64bit Versions of Windows as it seems. RSBin tool enables you to open the RW graphics files and export them to. The texture sets will look a bit different and the file structure often is different with locos from different developers, but it should work ok. Please note while the files and such are now specific for the Class 170, you can take the advice in general for all trains.
TRAIN SIMULATOR 2014 TUTORIALS HOW TO
I did a repaint for the Class 170 and was asked about how I did it and how to do a repaint in general, so here is how.
