BNSF ET44ACH package problem

[spoony1999]

Yes I have them all but, they are dated. I would like to to see some of the newer containers that are not in the library. Like the new Yellow, wall-mart, Xpo logistics, etc.

I kindly disagree with saying that what is in the library as dated and FYI, Wal-Mart isn't in the container business anymore.

I do have the nice amazon ones but the J.B. hunt ones just put up do not have the couplers I like. Is there a way to change them And yes they do look very nice not dated LOL.

Bernard did the containers as Freight Animation files, similar to what I had done with my giant pack of containers.

All you need to do is copy Bernards container shapes and textures, to the folder you want to use. Then copy and paste the empty wagon version of the well cars you want to use, change them to something like "DTTX_MAXI4_732170A_LD-JBH.wag" for an example. These cars can still point to the empty shape files, no issues. Then you can select the appropriate FA code from Bernards cars, and copy it into the wagon file you wish to edit. I'd probably change the name of the car inside the wagon file as well, maybe to "Name ( "DTTX MAXI4 732170A-LD - JBH" ) for an example.

This is what I did with my AOK version, with Bernards containers.

Yes, the sky is the limit, really. I do what Shawn does, but I also use PSP Pro to edit a lot of the .ace/.dds files to make my own versions of container mixes.

That was the one thing I was aiming for in the major pack I did. The shape files being custom, could allow to pick and choose what texture to use, as well as the mix and match of f/a files to use, so really in the end, you'd run out of well cars before having repeats of containers.

Where does one find the FA code?

It's in the well car wagon file that Bernard provided.

Dude That is cool!

So do i need a tool to switch containers? Can i use tuckers mty well cars to put containers in them? Or can i just copy the car and renumber it and put containers in it. new to this but
not new to files and folders or computers. I am not very good at posting as i usually cannot type what i really mean. i do not mean to hurt any ones feelings it just comes out all wrong. are there
tutorials on how to do this? Thanks. Crsx i am going to try what you did they look good man.

WOW. I'm shocked this thread veered from an ET44ACH package issue to making containers? No offense, it just looks like it.

[ZachBell4400]

Anyways, I'll probably try and "fix" the wheel texture issue on my 3650 locomotive.

Awe man sorry about that.I did not mean to hijack this tread. I guess I need to start a new thread again I apologize sir.
