Very nice :) The current preferred method on UKTS seems to be to zip up the folder containing the reskin and simply tell users to place it in the RailVehicles\Freight\ModelName\ folder when they have unzipped it, although of course some users have their own autoinstallers to do the job.

so kinda like FSX is ? ok ill make a readme for that so people can easily unzip where it needs to go. Thanks guys for your help i preciate it mucho!!

Need to include in the readme, they have to delete the \Rail Simulator\Assets\Kuju\RailSimulatorUS\blueprints.p ak file after installing so the game will read thru the folders to see what's new. Otherwise it don't show up in the game and they'll be yelling for help. :eek:

Hey Frank...When I pop them in the game....I delete the file and the name comes up in the game like 2 Bay Hopper CSX but theres no car there....But when I close out of the game...The file is back in there the blueprints.pak file that is.....I went to see if it was in there and it came back in there??? How do you totally get rid of that file??

[sniper297]

You can't totally get rid of blueprints.pak, it's supposed to do that. The game (for some strange reason) was not designed to load whatever is in the subfolders, it uses list files that it reads from to display a list of choices. Routes.xml is the master list file that lists which routes you can select, scenarios.bin in each route's main folder lists which scenarios you can choose for that route. Assets are different, instead of appending code to it to update it for what you have, you just delete blueprints.pak and that forces the game to scan the subfolders of the assets (for whichever filter set that blueprints.pak is in, the idea is there are going to be a bunch of them) to see what's in there, build a list, and recreate the blueprints.pak file.

As for why it shows up in the list but not in the physical form I don't know, someone over at UKtrainsim had the same problem with something, give me some time to download this one and check it out.

It is possible i used the add on 2 bay hoppers to skin with. If so you will need the add ons, Orogrande, thorn etc. There are 5 in all and they are free addons. I had others dl them and they showed up fine but they have the addons.

No it was my bad. I never even thought about it. I should have used the default hopper but i liked the gray one for what i needed to do best. I also added a note on my website so people know. Thanks

Well done! I will be looking for these when I get my copy of RS.
