Bill Bzak (aka "Longhairedwizard") has created a new set of 86' boxcars based on our freeware set:

Will the new shape file that was used for these repaints work with the original 86 foot boxcars released by Dekosoft?

Has anyone else experienced problems with the 4 door NYC boxcar? All the other repaints are fine, but there seems to be a problem with the .ace file, though it appears to be ok when viewed with TGA Tool2. I tried renaming another .ace file and the texture showed up as expected in the shape viewer, but no texture shows on the NYC 4dr. I've been trying to figure it out, but so far, it's got me stumped...

The newer shape files should be compatible with previous skins; however the most recent version (released with the UP Super Set) requires a file named roller2.ace (not roller1.ace) and has its transparencies on this texture, allowing for full 24-bit graphics to be used on the main texture (86xp0.ace).

There seems to be a problem with one of the .ace files in Bill's set -- I suggest contacting the author for help.

I finally got an answer to the problem with the NYC 4 door repaint. http://www.train-sim.com/dcforum/DCForumID8/5495.html for those who might not have already been aware of the thread...
