I can't find the Mod for that bridge anymore. are there any websites that still host it?

OOPS I'll fix that 😅

issue: i saw the conductor floating outside of the cab

Glad you like it!

Adore the Greyhound scheme, extremely cool.

Choo Choo

Lmao clearly behind xD

how's that Dec release?
lol im just teasing, the model is looking good ^.^

Lol check my artwork

I wish someone would make 844 someday. Great mod

This is the best thing! Thank you for making the 9000 class feel alive! The sounds are so well done, and the skins are great!! Cannot recommend this mod enough!!!!

Update pushed guys!

New Skin!

course! its on transportfever.net from ritk1t

Nice mod, might I ask where that bridge is from?

Thanks :)

@Gr1m, I'll push that update this soon. Good to know regarding the normal, I'll just do a replace color in PS, save it as a PNG and convert it via another program. I have noticed that issue too, maybe its SP though as thats what I use to generate it

Hey, just as an update to the previous comment, I had a look around ainside your mod and tried replacing the normal textures in this mod with the normal textures from the vanilla 9000 and it fixed the issue regarding the shiny wheels etc. I have a feeling it'll work the same for the Big Boys as well.

The only exception on the 9000 is the coal texture, which is still really shiny - it looks like the gloss_ao texture is the culprit there, the coal bunker is set to a light blue which makes it really reflective, rather than that deep sort of royal blue. If you compare it to the vanilla gloss_ao texture you'll see what I mean.

Anyway, hope this helps. :)

Also the crew in the cabin seem to be attached to the wrong group or child as well, similar to the couplers.

Hey, I just noticed that the rear coupler seems to be attached to the wrong child or something - basically when the train turns a corner, the coupler swings way out to the side of the train. My best guess is that its connected to the front engine somewhere rather than the tender.

Also if it helps regarding the shinyness issue, I've found in the past that I've had similar issues that are associated with the normal map texture rather than the metal_gloss_ao texture. For some reason if I open it and fiddle around with it, photoshop saves it lighter than its supposed to, which causes the effect that seems to be occuring on the wheels here.

Anyway, it might be the same thing, it might not, but I thought I'd point it out just in case. Loving this mod!

Awesome work! I just wanted to let you know that the leading wheels flash as they rotate, I'm not quite sure why, but it can be distracting at low speeds.

yeah i gotta address that

There is a small bug: the rear -2 spin in a circle underneath the train

Man you truly are a hero! Let the Heritage lines be built on my savegame!

steel girder is on Transportfever.net

The front two axles do the bacause those are metalic, I'll do another update to fix the wheels texture and the bogie in the back

Not to beat a dead horse, but after the update there still seem to be issues with the front and rear trucks of both locos. The front two axles seem to change color as they roll, and the rear one rotates around under the cab instead of rolling, I can share screenshots if you can't replicate the issue.

Yeah where did you get that steel girder bridge? 🤤

what the name of that metal bridge

Also I updated it guys, check the change notes

the mikado has endless possibilities. the mikado has a problematic UV map, luckily i just taught myself a cool new trick with blender, so cheers to new tools!

thank god, you're doing what UG really should have done

@connie already planned it

do this for the mikado and i will love you forever

thanks NA! actually its the black vs white and the contrast with the light hitting it. I'm poisting an update in a couple of minutes...maybe if my game will cooperate lol

The metal isn't the issue, it's the gloss.

@Meatballhero, congrats on another great release!

I really don't understand why your steam locos have to be so shiny. I've seen pictures of the 4014 in its current state and it looks reflective, but I think ingame models should reflect their look in service instead, since we can use them for their actual purpose. Is there a way for us non-modders to tone down the shine?

There seems to be a bug with the rear bogie.

Now THAT is one shiny boy!

Also, GR1m nice work on the bridge texture!

Thanks! Tomahawk, because of personal life, I'm just doing small things like conditioning vanilla stuff into better condition. I'm looking at doing reasons of the mikado however

Wow. With this I might actually consider using the x9000 for once. I always scrolled straight past it before because the vanilla skin doesn't look like an operational locomotive, so great work! >.>

Nice work! Wondering what is your next mod on the list

thanks for this!
