I made a test skin to the appropriate size for Run8 (2048x2048) and converted it the way I did in the video above. Last month I was messing around with the idea of making a test skin and replacing the NS ACe texture (Run8 Western) with it. BUT I never said you couldn't reskin them. Remember how I said that it wasn't posssible to extract the textures for V2 units such as the Tunnel Motors? That still remains true. (Like the flatcar I'm making in the other thread) As long as your custom reskins/models/sounds are for private-use only and you state that in your post, you're good to go!īumping this thread because I made a discovery a few weeks ago 100% relevant to the topic. I'm more into the technical aspects of the sim, such as the ability to import custom models and sounds. I leave that up to the community, it's just not my thing. I personally don't do reskins much anyway, I'm not an artist. But no one from Run8 Studios has taken any action against me since I started modding back in February 2016 and it doesn't look like they ever plan to. Seeing people replace the textures you worked so hard to make must be really hard to take. From what I know Nigel isn't exactly happy about people reskinning his locomotives and rolling stock and he has every right to be.

Nigel, their lead artist, however, has a different view. On the Run8 Community Facebook group John and Jason monitor my modding and other user's modding and they seem to be okay with what I do since I'm not redistributing anything and uphold the EULA.
