First the help, I have downloaded the Conrail GP-38 skin on this site. I'd like to use the skin as a new engine instead of replacing the default BNSF. I tried changing gp38.eng ,gp38.s and gp38.sd names to gp38-cr. I also changed I believe it was 4 different lines in the .eng file to point to my new file names and changed one line in .sd to point to the renamed .s file. This didn't work. Is there something encoded in the .s file that needs to be changed as well or did I miss something. I love the skin and would like to use it but not at the expence of my default gp38. Now the advice, What is the best program for creating the shape files or .3ds .I know every one has a favorite but I'd like the recomendations anyways. Second whats the most versital program for painting the skins or textures. I have some nice highend HO boxcars just waiting to be digitised.
