I have found that the Derek Miller Western Pacific steam locomotives that can be downloaded here and at Elvas Tower have some bad .sms files. It seems like someone must have been working on making sound files for the engines, but failed to include the path and file name in the lines of the .sms files. There are numerous engines that have a line like this:
Variable_Trigger ( Variable1_Dec_Past 6 StartLoop ( 1 File ( "" -1 ) SelectionMethod ( SequentialSelection ) ) )
There should be a file name and path within the two quotation marks above. Naturally, MSTS can't find the file since it is non-existent. Also, when checking the files using Conbuilder it shows up with numerous errors which will cause havoc with MSTS. There was a lot of work to try and make sounds for an AI, a Helper, and so on, but with errors in the sound .sms files I have decided to just eliminate those .eng files and try to get the trains to run using sound files from other engines, i.e., the Challenger and BigBoy for the 2-6-6-2 and 2-8-8-2.
If anyone came up with corrections to the presented .sms files then I would like to get your work if possible. I would also be interested if anyone knows whether someone is working with Derek to get the sound files corrected?
Thanks.
