Hi Unread post

Hello all,

First - thanks to Hawk for sorting out my registration, er, difficulties :D

I'm a late starter with RRT3 but already hooked. This site seems to be a really great resource for sage advice and excellent downloads which I've already plundered; excellent work to all.

Alhough I'm new to RRT3, I'm an old hand at skinning and pixel art, and I've aleady tried my hand at some loco skinning.

Re: Hi Unread post

Welcome Aboard! :-D There's pretty much everything Railroad Tycoon here at this site, and plenty of people to help out with your venture into skinning for RRT3.

Can't wait to see what's in store !*th_up*!

Re: Hi Unread post

Thanks guys - the advice and dowloads here are excellent :)

I have my first two reskins ready to add to the downloads section, if that's possible. Both are attempts to capture the look of late 19th / early 20th century Great Western Railway locos:

Yep! It's quite possible. Just zip them up and email them to me. You might even be able to attach them to a PM here, but email would be preferred.

Thanks Hawk - I'm putting the finishing touches to them, and then I'll e-mail them to you.

I notice that this guy made a few rather nice sins. Did he ever send them to you?

Well shoot, Gumboots, I would have never known that there was a skinning genius who just burst into flames, never to be heard from again! Or were we trolled? We must get to the bottom of this mystery! DO WANT LE SKIN

He was only active on the forums for about a month, and that was 4 years ago.

Re: Hi Unread post

As soon as I figure out this low-res gfx bug* I was going to get into skinning. Had thought of nicking some of this bloke's ideas if I couldn't get the original skins off him. They do look rather nice.

*Will probably take a week or so. Have to delve into Windows-specific Mordor stuff (ugh) in spare time. Give me HTML5 any day.
