BNSF ES44C4 Renumbers

[dnewmanjr]

Both the 8000 and 8058 have dds files that are a whopping 21k kb file size. Unknown how those two anomalies happened. I just deleted them.


Would like to see some H2 gevos, too. There are about 150 regular (non-C4) gevos in the 7600 and 7700 series wearing H2.

The older version of the ES44DC H2s that I've done a while back are currently in the library, which they may be outdated.
But I'm in the process of redoing them in, OR format instead of MSTS, along with an extra set of H2s.

As for the oversized .dds files, no worries. I'll be working on a patch to reduce the file size to units 8000 and 8054 and I'll have them ready ASAP.

The dds files for 8000 and 8054 are DDS 32 bit which is not necessary and probably a mistake. The textures for all the other numbers in both sets are DDS DXT1.

The textures for the recently released "golden swoosh" unit are also in DDS 32 bit format. Models with DDS 32 bit textures are not displayed in the version of Shape Viewer I am using (Version 2.2.237). DDS 32 bit textures can be converted to DDS DXT1 format using DXTbmp by Martin Wright https://www.mwgfx.co.uk/programs/dxtbmp.htm .

Nailed it. I just saw one not too long ago it was badly faded but pulling the tonnage. I look forward to these. Thanks for your hard work.

Those will be put to good use in my fleet. But what I'd like to see is some BNSF warbonnet C44's I know those are still floating around.

Similar to this?

And here is the solution. I have open and resave the four .dds-Files for the 8000 and the 8054 in Paint-Net. Now the engines works fine.

For a moment, I thought I was going to have to do a patch to both of the sets. I'm glad you have them working.

Hi everyone. I downloaded the two ES44C4 packs from Donald "dnewmanjr". When creating and editing the .s files for the 8000 and the 8058 and then viewing them in the ShapeViewer, I get the following error: "Error 9 - Subscript out of range." All other locomotives work.
Who else has this and how do I get the two locomotives to work?
I used all three .s files suggested by Donald.

Suggestion, 4200 series ES44C4s and H3 SD40-2s on the Scenic V2 model.

That's good to hear. I will be keeping my eye out for them

[dnewmanjr]

More ES44C4's are always nice. I wanted to do some more myself, but I honestly prefer the C44-9W's and ES44AC's over anything else. haha.

Don't give me any ideas on the AC Units! I'm thinking about doing a set of renumbers as well! 🤔

Say no more. The ATSF Dash 9 SuperFleets will probably be coming soon as part of my locomotive projects, as well as the BNSF versions.
