OMSI Tutorial #5: Repainting the New Flyer buses

[@adrianoriley4105]

Great tutorial! I was finally able to create my city's livery for this bus. Do you know if it's possible to recolour the wheels?

[@AJsBusVideos]

Hey MTA, I cannot find your video on making powertrains.

[@1AppleMaker]

Hey, how do you move the numbers on the bus to a different spot, as well changing one or more of its colors? And also, can I please have your TriMet repaint?? Your help is much appreciated!

[@MTA3306]

Bin Kenney You can’t really move the numbers like that. You instead can add numbers to the paint, and remove the changing numbers from the bus altogether. And I will check if I still have my TriMet paint.

Where can i get these repaints?

[@TheDonny2014thedonny2014]

I'm having trouble with the turn signal. I'm supposed to hit delete right? Is there something I should do before because it's not working out for me

[@MTA3306]

The area on the side turn signals should not be painted over. Otherwise they won't show up

[@TheDonny2014thedonny2014]

I what I was supposed to do and the turn signals came up. However when I saved the file and used the repaint tool to convert it, nothing seemed to happen. The passenger cabin and the wheels didn't show up and everything came out as white and that was it. I'm at a loss as to what I should do next or what I shouldn't do

[@MTA3306]

+Donny Stubbs I agree...that is puzzling. The only thing I could think of is that the file is too small. The D40 repaint files should be at 16 MB

[@TheDonny2014thedonny2014]

I know it came out as 12 MB. when I re-saved it as DSS it came out to 16 mb but the paint tool didn't recognize it the way it did the bmp file when I first saved it

[@TheDonny2014thedonny2014]

can the same concept be applied to all the LFS generations as well?

[@MTA3306]

The LFS uses a different method of painting, like on what was said with the RTS. (Go to 14:10)

[@knowahl.a.denglish6034]

hay MTA u did a good tutorial of the repait of a D40LF but theres 1 more question how do u make a new engine and transmission can u make a tutorial of that

[@MTA3306]

Sure

[@terrellkelley2986]

the bus is blank when I start it. why?

[@GreenAppLuv]

kinda late but the omsi repaint tool isn't working anymore

[@TacoMan8102]

Hey MTA3306 Could you help me with the DE60LF? because my Repaint has the "CITY" Logo instead of the CTA i mean I have a CTA Repaint but when i play i find the trailer of the DE60LF Wrong and there is the CTY Logo Instead Of CTA

[@TacoMan8102]

My CTA repaint has CTY on the back here is my script for the repaint: *************************************** CTA NL *************************************** [item] CTA NL farbschema_tex1 CTA.dds [item] CTA NL farbschema_tex3 CTA_trail.dds [setvar] decals_chicago 0 [setvar] decals_main 0 [setvar] number_cta 1 [setvar] number_white 0 [setvar] planks 0 [setvar] ad_L 0 [setvar] ad_R 0 [setvar] ad_B 0 [setvar] ad_F 0

[@MTA3306]

You probably used the wrong file or misspelled the name.

[@TacoMan8102]

btw i fixed it

[@O530Fn942012]

I tested that process on repainting the Mercedes-Benz O307 and O407 (which process is similar to the D40LF) and the repaints looked better than my previous repaints. I might start to use that method more and more for my next ones. Thanks MTA3306!

[@MTA3306]

You're welcome ,O530.

[@4kbradddentertainment278]

my c40lf is not working can you help me out with that problem?

[@MTA3306]

Not here. vtransitcenter.com

[@TacoMan8102]

Really i cant convert it because it says something about reading the address

[@MTA3306]

I haven't heard of any errors up converting repaints except for one, and that's due to missing DLL files. Other than that, it should work fine (given that you use the correct files).

[@TacoMan8102]

Oh Wait I Used The Wrong One or ... I just can't do the notepad

[@jonathanocto]

Ok the tutorial help but I have a windows 7 and 10 and as I save the repaint the repaint I make was not in the game

[@MTA3306]

Did you add it in a .cti file for the bus you made it for?

[@jonathanocto]

I have not. I try tried to save it as a PNG Picture and them the bus was white.

[@TheDavinchoo]

Jonathan The Railfan you need to convert that as a DDS file and Put the stuff in the CTI file

[@terrellkelley2986]

my bus did not convert

[@MTA3306]

terrell kelley Then repeat the process until it works.

[@terrellkelley2986]

ok I will try. thank you.

[@terrellkelley2986]

it converted but now the bus is white.

[@de-andreking3107]

MTA3306 you have windows 10 laptop? Or pc?

[@O530Fn942012]

Well, I have another method for creating repaints for the D40LF (or the O305 and Citaro C2 for some extent): I use MS Paint for the base (if is complex, I also use Paint.net or GIMP instead), and, for adding a layer of complexity, I use GIMP for adding logos and some text. But, I'll might test that way of repainting the buses (not only the New Flyers, but also other buses).

[@TheDonny2014thedonny2014]

Dude could you please show me that method?

[@O530Fn942012]

Yes. This Saturday I will showcase it (I don't know what bus will be - I'm indecided between the D40LF or the Mercedes-Benz O307 or the MAN ÜL (242/272/292 or 312), because I've to make a repaint for my future map (Alto da Boa Viagem)).

[@TheDonny2014thedonny2014]

awesome! Thanks man!

[@O530Fn942012]

I'm recording today at 6:00 PM BST to publish at 12:00 AM BST of the next day (if something doesn't occur first).

[@TheDonny2014thedonny2014]

Ok kool 'cause I've forever been trying to paint the D40 and it's not working. It sort of worked with the Novabus LFS to an extent though. I'l be sure to stay tuned
