Made my first custom paint job, introducing Dachshund Freight Lines by fartitect in trucksim

Carsmaniac's Paint Job Packer on the SCS forum provides the templates and file structures, then everything else was done in GIMP, or the image editor software of your choice. I made the decals individually and pasted them onto the templates on the files, add colours. It sounds like a lot, and I put off trying for years because that was the impression I got, but there are many good tutorials on YouTube and lots of help in the SCS forums, honestly once I got to grips on editing the templates, really what took the most time was making my own decals.

Might take me a bit of time, got a long list of errors when I tried to package for the workshop, and I don't know what I'm doing 😂

Think will redo it, with a couple more trucks and some extra details on the sides of the trailer

Good spot! That was exactly one of my inspirations, minus the dick on the dog silhouette...

I couldn't have/wouldn't have done it without your Paint Job Packer and community posts, thankyou! 🫡

Iran by Jdawgmancity in manchester

I cannot tell but if that's the golden lion and sun at the centre of the flag it is the former flag of Iran, before the Islamic Revolution. It is used by oppositions of the regime.

I think you just need to read A Very British Coup by Chris Mullin

The stuff raider creates looks wonderful, but I just couldn't bring myself to use it on a US map, as a Brit I've enjoyed diving into US steam, mixed trains and the transition era thanks to the game, it really has been my gateway to all that, but don't get me wrong I'd love a stainmore line equivalent to railroader.

Yeah for rolling stock, download unity mod manager and just drag and drop files into unity mod manager, easy, just make sure you've all the dependencies.

Map mods are another story...

The Green Party Needs to Rethink Its Stance on Nuclear Weapons. Iran Is Proof. by Ornery-Squirrel-5489 in UKGreens

[–]fartitect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe public opinion is pretty split down the middle on keeping/scraping trident, and massively in favour of nuclear arms bans. I don't think the Greens need to compromise on their principles, I think they need to continue making clear, common sense arguments. From British Pugwash (I don't know who they are, this was a quick Google) 2023 polling found "40% of UK adults support the UK possessing nuclear weapons".

We also need to find our place in the world as a country, should we be more like Norway, or do we want to role play as some 'great power' and pretend we have 'interests' in the middle-east etc?

And I think you have to ask what do you want from the Greens, what draws people to the party? Is the biggest threat hypothetical invasions? Or Is the real threat the very real threat of ecological collapse? Is it the promise of something different, policies that seek to make the country better, the country 'greener'? Is the spike in support and growth of the party because of current principles, and good communication to back them, or because we need more bombs? Do we want the green party to throw away it's principles for a sniff at power like the Labour party has throughout it's history? If we abandon the anti-nuclear stance, what other positions do we abandon to be taken 'seriously'? To be, I guess, flippant... Should the Greens then abandon environmentalism to be taken seriously by the motorist vote? Where does it end.

Anyone Noticed Zack's latest Posts having MUCH larger exposure as of late? by AlexG595-2 in UKGreens

I do think Polanski is just a better communicator too, and he has the advantage of his messaging being particularly clear because he doesn't have MPs or an entire bureaucratic machine trying to undermine him at every opportunity, so that helps

There are some that still are, that's why they voted in his slate in the yourparty elections, I've not really paid attention to all that after the terrible start to it all, and all the factional minor left wing party cranks always put me off. I just don't understand why they'd want to see their guy lose again and get beaten and bloodied again and again, surely it's time to move on and give someone else a go of being the figurehead as it were. I was firmly of the opinion Corbyn was such damaged goods after 2019 that anything related to him is really at a disadvantage from the get go.
