Creating the sprites from the MSTS model

First open Vehicle Creator;

Main screen of the Vehicle Creator

To create the 135 pngs files, or sprites; click on the "MSTS2Locomotion" button; this button has the logo of Locomotion on it. You will see the following window:

MSTS2Locomotion window

The options with a red border on them are the ones you need to use;

• Measuring Tool
• Distance
  
  Leave the options with "Locomotion" and "Wagon" alone; you dont need them.

Measuring tool: Click on the button and you will see a little window appear with boxes in it.

These are the correct sizes of the trains. Distance slider: Use this to fit your train in the boxes. See example above; (Use the Rotation slider to turn your train)

If you have fitted the trains in the boxes, set the offset slider to -0.2 and click on the "export" button; now the 136 .bmp images are created. (000.bmp to 136.bmp) Now you can convert them to the Locomotion pallete. ►►►
