Hello there, I was just wondering if there's anyway of 'painting' busses, trams, Rail cars etc ? I'd like to see a street full of busses painted in my own company colours.
Thanks.. Jon T.

The buses are using colours you have set as your company colours in the main menu. There are two colours you set, primary and secondary. Both of the colours are represented on your vehicles, although some of them may only use the primary colour (like the Toyoka bus). Unfortunately you can only use the colours predefined in the company menu and they will be automatically assigned to vehicles, there is no way of customizing how the particular line/vehicle will be painted.

Thanks jasie... That's a shame, would have been a nice feature, oh well not much trouble, still a great game. Not had it very long and still find my way around things.

The color palette available in CIM2 is sadly very limited.
It would be nice if (even as DLC) to have the full RGB color choice as found in most Windows Office applications.

Well, all you have to do is, manipulate in one of the files.
In C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[Usernumber]\[another fancy number]\remote there is a file named Default player
Open the file with the editor
Here is written something like
m_companyColor1 = RGBA(0.938, 0.840, 0.137, 1.000)
m_companyColor2 = RGBA(0.938, 0.840, 0.137, 1.000)
These are the colors you can set the game.
You need the RGB code from the color you want to set. In this example it is the color from the Berlin BVG. Its "Verkehrsgelb", RAL 1023 and the RGB value is - 240, 215, 34 -
Now you have to divide this codes through 256.
So,
240 / 256 = 0,9375
215 / 256 = 0,83984375
34 / 256 = 0,13671875
now round up to the last 3 numbers after the comma and add the values in the right order. The 4th value can just be ignored.
et voila, your company has your own colors.

I do not want mess about modifying files. I just want to be able to pick any colour in the rainbow from a standard RGB colour palette!
You wanted a solution for your colors, I got you the solutoin for your colors. If you don't want it, don't cry. It's possible, it's easy, you just have to change 3 little numbers. It's not like it's impossible, you just have to do 3minutes of work.
Sotrax do you know if these colours reset after each update or not? Btw. thanks for the tip!
No, they don't reset. It's the file for userdata, it's very unwise if CO would reset this.
Nice! Thans Sotrax, you just made my day with telling me about this. :rofl:

This file is overwritten if you change the company data (includes colours) in the 'profile' menu. So you will need to save your personal company colours in a text file.
Oh, I didn't know that, because I never changed anything on this settings. Thanks for clearing.
