Release: Class 50 and class 45

[ghostknife]

More trains for the flat earth society.




As you can hopefully see, two different liveries for the class 50.
As with the class 31's the livery is linked to the dates that they appear in the game.
If you want them e-mail to msts2locomotion@yahoo.co.uk and I will send you the .dat files in zipped format.

The class 45's are not done yet but will be sometime next week (hopefully)and will be advertised from this forum thread.

Thanks to Mark Shipman and JD Jonny who did the real work by creating the the MSTS converted here.

Well done traffic manager!

This is exactly what I wanted to do but didnt know how to.

Thats so obvious it hurts, can't believe I did'nt figure it out.
By the way, the BR blue class 45 is now done, and the green one just needs finishing touches. Release will follow soon.

Class 45 conversions are now completed and have come out particularly well.

The files are in .rar form and need extracting and then placing into the locomotion object data file.

ghost, what palette do u use for ure conversions? and also what program do u use to convert both the palette and the bmp's to png's?

[ghostknife]

Sizing and brightening is done via sfm24 program (the hardest part).
The palette I use is 'lomoveh' applied to the BMPs via a script in PSP8.
Also sometimes use PSP8 scripts to modify colour tones before applying the palette in order to get a different palette colour applied when the palette script is run.
Bmp to Png is done via PSP3.

Yet again, thanks A LOT for the engines which are really nice. Keep up the good work..
