BVE4 Class 60/73

[class 313]

Hey,

I've been having the blue screen problem on the 60 and 73. Both are set to #0000FF and still are blue in the sim (OpenBVE), any help?

TIA

Drop the settings down to 16bit.

They aren't designed to be compatible with openBVE

No, but with the 60 I changed the blue to 255 and it works fine.

All the other locos work bar them too...

The 73, 60,1995/6 tube, 323 etc etc didnt work for me, but its easy to sort out.

Open the cabview of another train that works, and use the colour picker tool to select the blue colour of the window. Then open up the 60/73 cab image, and 'fill' the window with the colour you picked from a working train. It may not look like its changed colour, but save, then try OpenBVE again, its worked for all my problem trains.

Tom I had the same problem with them mate even after changing them, Michelle explained it on the openbve forum, heres what Michelle wrote

I can confirm that for the Class 60, the panel2.cfg indicates (0,0,255) for the background while the color in the corresponding d3d\panelc.bmp is (0,0,254). And for the Class 73, the panel2.cfg indicates (0,0,255) while the color in the bv4\panel.bmp is (0,0,254), too. The fact that the corresponding parts in the bitmaps do no show up transparently is not a bug, but the intended way of processing the images. You can use Photoshop or Paint.NET among many others to query color values, but for Photoshop, you should not enable Web Safe colors as Photoshop will round the actual color queried to the next matching web color, which then is (0,0,255), giving you a wrong impression of what the bitmap actually contains regarding color values

Hope this helps

Jack

Well I opened up the cab of the 27 and got the colour blue from that, filled in both panels of the 60 and still shows up blue. Also I tried it in 16bit full screen and still blue.

What program are you using for it?

Photoshop with web colours only unticked.

I used fireworks, and it worked fine.

The red transparency from some LUL stock seems to work too.
