New page

The new TRS19 EMD F7 cabin has the ability to change the color of the nose to match the road name of your locomotive asset. Changing the color of the nose is as simple as adding a few lines into the config of your locomotive of choice.

[[File:F7IntroPage.png|800px]]

== Adding the Cab to your Asset ==

To begin, open the config of the locomotive you wish to have a custom nose color for. For this tutorial, we will be using <kuid2:999999:2222:1> 1 Hot Rod Special F7 from the DLS. It is recommended to open the config in a superior notepad program such as Notepad++ to preserve formatting. When the config for the Hot Rod F7 is opened, it looks something like this:

kuid <kuid2:999999:2222:1>
username "1 Hot Rod Special F7"
kind "traincar"
trainz-build 3.5
engine 1
enginespec <kuid:999999:42004250>
enginesound <kuid:-1:42003000>
hornsound <kuid:37581:1234>
interior <kuid:217537:220>
mesh-table
{
default
{
mesh "f7_hotrod_body/f7_hotrod_body.im"
auto-create 1
}

shadow
{
mesh "f7_hotrod_shadow/f7_hotrod_shadow.im"
}

3 <kuid:999999:100100>
4 <kuid:999999:42004250>
}

The first thing to change is the interior kuid to reference the proper F7 cab. If your locomotive is right-hand drive and uses MPH, use the following kuid:
<kuid:-25:1308>

Change the following line from:
interior <kuid:217537:220>
to:
interior <kuid:-25:1308>

The next step is to add an extensions table. Copy and paste the following code into your config:

extensions
{
f7cab_parameters
{
nosecolor "XXX"
}
}

The placement of this code does not matter. I placed it directly under the interior tag line and above the mesh table to make editing the extensions easier to edit in the future.

kuid <kuid2:999999:2222:1>
username "1 Hot Rod Special F7"
kind "traincar"
trainz-build 3.5
engine 1
enginespec <kuid:999999:42004250>
enginesound <kuid:-1:42003000>
hornsound <kuid:37581:1234>
interior <kuid:217537:220>
extensions
{
f7cab_parameters
{
nosecolor "XXX"
}
}
mesh-table
{
default
{
mesh "f7_hotrod_body/f7_hotrod_body.im"
auto-create 1
}

shadow
{
mesh "f7_hotrod_shadow/f7_hotrod_shadow.im"
}
}

....

== Modifying the Nose color ==

The final step is to change "XXX" to an appropriate string. Use the right column in the following table to determine the proper string to replace "XXX" with. The strings are case sensitive, so make sure it matches the table or else the cabin will default to black.

By default, the F7 Cab supports these pre-built liveries:
{| class="wikitable"
|+Supported Road names
|-
|String '''(case sensitive!)'''
|Color
|Roadname
|-
|red

The final config would look something like this:
