  • TS2014 Tipps und Tricks

    Die notwendigen Parameter und Arbeitsschritte:


    Bildgröße: 1920 * 1080


    Bildformat: jpg


    Dateiname (Bild): Background.jpg (Schreibschutz muss aktiviert werden!!)


    Dateiname (Checksumme): background.MD5 (Erstellen mit Programm von www.md5summer.org)


    Dateien speichern in: ...\SteamApps\common\railworks\data\textures\frontend


    Zunächst ist die neue Bildatei "Background.jpg" im angegebenen Verzeichnis zu speichern. Bitte unbedingt den Schreibschutz der Bilddatei aktivieren!! Wird der Schreibschutz vergessen, löscht TS die neue Bilddatei beim nächsten Start. Danach ist mit dem Programm "md5summer.exe" die Checksumme der Bilddatei in der Datei "background.MD5" im gleichen Verzeichnis abzuspeichern (md5summer.exe als Administrator starten!).


    Beim nächsten TS-Start wird nun das neue Bild als Hintergrund verwendet. :)

  • Neue Version RW-Tools

    Neue Version 5.0.18 (12.10.2013):


    v5.0.18 - The 'Find all .ap files' option to unpack with 7zip has now been completely rewritten it brings up the following options:-
    Unpack .ap files to a new folder
    Unpack .ap files to same folder as the .ap (use for first time unpack)
    Unpack .ap overwriting all destination files if they exist
    Unpack .ap skipping any files which already exist
    Unpack .ap appending number to any NEW file which already exists
    Unpack .ap renaming existing files by adding a number


    These new options should give most users unpack options which suit them. The last 2 options are opposite to each other, the first adds a number starting from _1 to
    the NEW version of a file, e.g. Scotsman.bin remains as it was and a new Scotsman_1.bin is placed in the file tree. Whereas the final option renames the
    existing Scotsman.bin to Scotsman_1.bin and adds the new Scotsman.bin to the tree.

  • Neue Version RW-Tools

    Und nicht zu vergessen, momentan sind es Beta-Versionen.


    Originalhinweis von Mike: This is a beta version which will uncompress .ap files - see the read-me - This is for advanced users only

  • Neue Version RW-Tools

    Neue Version 5.0.16:


    v5.0.16 - The option Find all .ap files now indicates if the .ap file in question has or
    has not been unpacked. Note that if an .ap file has been unpacked, even partially,
    trying to unpack it again with the 7zip option fails because the 7za.exe fails,
    usually without an error message if the files in question already exist in the
    file tree. I am trying to find another unzip routine which will advise of already
    existing files, so far without success.
    Updated Language files are included, make sure these are copied to your RW_Tools\
    Language folder - they update all references to TS2013 to TS2014.

  • Neue Version RW-Tools

    Neue Version 5.0.15:


    v5.0.12 - Fixed the option to find all .ap files to make it much faster.
    v5.0.13 - Some buttons were wrongly labelled on the List screen.
    v5.0.14 - Fixed bug in the option - Extract Files/Extract all to same folder as .ap -
    Which was not extracting to correct folder.
    v5.0.15 - Fixed bug in the Open .ap File/Extract Files/Extract all to same folder option
    It was not working correctly for Asset folder .ap files.

  • Neue Version RW-Tools

    Neue Version 5.0.11:


    v5.0.10 - As RSC did not give me access to an early copy of TS2014 as they have on previous occasions, I
    appologise if there are elements of RW_Tools which no longer work with the new TS2014. This is
    completely out of my control as I have only had 2 days to produce an update. Anyone finding
    other anomalies, please let me know as soon as possible.


    The main problem found so far is the use of .ap files in some route and asset folders, those
    I know about (yours will differ depending upon your DLC) at this time are:-


    Assets\Castlerock\CastlerockAssets.ap
    Assets\Kuju\RailSimulatorUS\RailsimulatorUSAssets.ap
    Assets\RSC\Class466Pack01\Class466EMUAssets.ap
    Assets\RSC\DonnerPass\DonnerPassAssets.ap
    Assets\RSC\ER20Pack01\ER20Assets.ap
    Assets\RSC\HamburgHannover\HamburgAssets.ap
    Assets\RSC\ICE2Pack01\ICE2Assets.ap
    Assets\RSC\IndustrialNorth\DoncasterWorksAssets.ap
    Assets\RSC\KentHighSpeed\LondonFavAssets.ap
    Assets\RSC\SD70MSPPack01\SD70MSPAssets.ap
    Assets\RSDL\Foliage01\FoliageAssets.ap
    Content\Routes\00000020-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\MainContent.ap
    Content\Routes\00000032-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\DonnerPassSD70MSPScenarios.ap
    Content\Routes\00000032-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\MainContent.ap
    Content\Routes\00000034-c000-0000-0000-000000002013\L2FClass466EMUScenarios.ap
    Content\Routes\00000034-c000-0000-0000-000000002013\MainContent.ap
    Content\Routes\00000035-0000-0000-0000-000000002012\MunichICE2Scenarios.ap
    Content\Routes\00000037-0000-0000-0000-000000002013\MainContent.ap


    These *.ap files are zip files containing all the files for a route or in the case of
    those in the Assets folder, all the assets for a particular route. Note however that
    the Kuju\RailSimulatorUS folder and the RSDL\Foliage01 folder are also involved, so ALL
    U.S. routes (even 3rd party ones) and all routes using that Foliage package are also
    involved. This change means that none of the routes involved can now be correctly checked
    by RW_Tools nor can users swap missing rolling stock in scenarios for stock they already
    have.


    I can't see any good reason for the use of these .ap files, especially as it has been
    stated that although the .ap file contains all of the files needed for the route, if
    a user modifies one of the files and places it in the correct position in the file tree
    outside of the .ap file (e.g. in the case of a reskin etc), then the TS2014 will use
    the file outside of the .ap file. This means that TS2014 must not only have to read the
    .ap file, but also check all of the files contained in it against any other files in
    the main folder to see if there is an external version. Which will take more time than
    before. A cynic might believe that the only benefit of using these .ap files is to
    stop users swapping rolling stock and forcing them to purchase any missing stock in order
    to use new scenarios?


    To enable users to continue to check routes etc, I have added 2 new options in the
    files menu:
    1. Find all .ap files
    This option gives you a list of all the .ap files installed in your RailWorks folder.
    You can select any/all of these .ap files for unpacking using 2 buttons


    a. Unpack selected .ap files - takes you to a 2nd screen where the contents of the
    first selected .ap are displayed. You can then elect to unpack any/all of these
    files from the 'Extract Files' menu.
    The 2nd and subsequently selected .ap files are then shown for processing as above.


    b. Unpack with 7zip - I have included a special command line version of 7zip with
    this version. This will unpack all selected .ap files into their correct folder trees
    without manual intervention except that you might get a window advising that a file
    has already been unpacked and do you wish to continue. If everything seems to lock
    up, look under the program window for such a message window.


    2. Open .ap file
    This option opens the same window as the 'Unpack selected .ap files' and allows you
    to manually select an .ap file to open. Functionality is the same as in a. above.


    Once you have unpacked the .ap files you can use RW_Tools to check routes and scenarios,
    edit scenarios etc as you could in the past. Unfortunately though, once you run TS2014
    again, all of the files from outside of the .ap files which have identical files inside
    the .ap archive are deleted unless they have been modified. e.g. if you have modified
    Scenario.bin and ScenarioProperties.xml files they will remain outside of the .ap archive
    and these will be used by TS2014. (At least this is the theory, how robust this is has
    not yet been proved).


    SERZ.EXE - TS2014 includes a new version of serz.exe which is a big improvement on the
    original. It will now allow you to use RW_Tools to open/save large .geopcdx files such
    as locomotive shapes etc, and it will allow you to open and resave very large .tgpcdx
    files including the 4096*4096 pixel ones - thus allowing users to use RW_Tools when
    reskinning these items. However, the new serz.exe also requires two new .dll files
    to be copied from the RailWorks folder, stlport_vc10.5.2.dll and zlibwapi.dll -
    RW_Tools will attempt to do this for you as well as copying the new serz.exe - however
    if you get any messages that serz.exe has not worked, you can copy these files manually.



    NOTE: This version of RW_Tools is very much a beta and is included for advanced users who
    are interested in experimenting with TS2014 to see what we can accomplish, especially as
    no details regarding TS2014s new file system have been officially released.
