[REQ] Custom Boxcab loco made easy (?)

Post by griffinrails »

Hi all.
While going through the sprites for the Crocodile i noticed something.
If you were to just remove the front and back articulated portions (and replace them with some regular bogies) you could end up with a quite convincing boxcab for American scenarios and stuff like that.
I was thinking of doing this for Locomotion Expanded, but have barely any knowledge in XML editing.
So, this is sort of a request for someone to try doing it (?)

Hmm ... The pictures of the middle part would have to come after the front or rear. Therefore, first you have to remove the pictures from the middle part and then rename.

The XML must be adjusted. That is a lot of work.
First, the unnecessary lines must be deleted below.
Second, you have to write the upper part as a normal freight car.

There it is easier to convert a finished Boxcab Car from MSTS.
