Got a couple of repaint-related issues here.
I'm a bit confused over the repaint template, as although similar it doesn't quite match the layout of the repaints supplied with the bus. I've circled them in pink (although I missed some stuff along the top deck windows of the template) - is there a reason why they are different and will it affect any repaints I make using the template?
Also, when I'm repainting, how do I recolour the radio pod on the roof (it always wants to stay white/light grey) and the interior grab poles always seem to be the same as the main exterior body colour. So which parts of the template control the colour of the radio pod and interior poles?
Also on the repaint template, the shadows for the badges are a little off:
And if you ignore the selection screen for a moment, repaints created with the template and then have the non-extended mirror setvar applied end up with a weird shadow above the door:
On an unrelated note to the template, most of the First repaints are coming up like this in the bus selector. Not tried loading them up yet. The ones I've made myself are fine, as are the heritage livery ones, but all the Barbie/Olympia ones except 'Future' and 'With Foglights' are coming up as having no exterior texture. I thought downloading version V1.01 might fix that but apparently not.
Otherwise it is a wonderful bus and a fantastic companion to the Transbus Trident - it's just the repaint template is a bit off and could perhaps do with a guide layer.
Oh and the wheels are easy to repaint because they're on the body texture. That's another good thing - I like repaintable wheels.
I noticed that with a return trip from Shadowport to Shadowvale Uni it was howling by the time i got backDamn, this is good. It even has cooling fans (always have loved the sound of them) which I wasn't expecting. Is there a way to adjust how loud they are?
Probably because it was made for an older version and hasn’t been updated yet lolThe Kreuger mod on VirtualBus is not compatible with the latest release on here. Remove your B7TL folder and reinstall the bus without the mod. Bit unclear isn't it lol
Yes, that's why I saidProbably because it was made for an older version and hasn’t been updated yet lol

And they say I make them look bad ????Yes, that's why I saidnot compatible with the latest release

Can Someone make an LED Display mod?
Yes it is, what you want to do is find the flipdot folder via this path:Kinda related... with the dot-matrix that this bus comes with, is it possible to have the front route number show on the near side like the Tridents?
In other words, instead of "18 University", it'd be "University 18"
matrix_constfile.txt
and CTRL + F for Matrix_NrRightAlign
. Change the value underneath to a 1, so it would end up looking like this:No problem mate, you're welcomeThanks a mil for that. Will give it a go tomorrow but really appreciate your help
No problem mate, you're welcome
I was pointed out to me by various people that the exterior body template was incorrect.This has now been addressed in the \textures\templates folder along with an updated UV mapping texture.
