    Make Hopper bat.

    For the Lehigh Valley Route it Calls for LV 25772 and A Berwind Hopper. When I Open the File there is an Item Labeled Make Hopper bat for Both Cars. When I Click it there is a Quick Flash and then Nothing. Nothing Gets Created. What Am I Doing Wrong or Not Doing?
    The Files are lv25772.zip and bwcx50t.zip

    Alco RS11 Trainset from www.trainartisan was needed for the files to create those hoppers.

      Both of those files are in the library:

        That site hasn't been available for a long time!!

          Ged,
          Got it, Downloaded it and Installed it. One Problem is with the Berwind Hopper. No Matter What I Do with Naming the File it Still Won't Come Up. The LV Hopper Loaded Fine but For Whatever Reason the Berwind Hopper will not Come up in the Consist Editor on TSRE No Matter What I Do. Even Loading it Directly from Make Hopper bat it Still Won't Come Up. It's in the Trainset Folder with the Correct name but TSRE Won't Recognize it. I'll Just keep Manually Loading it Instead.
          Thankyou,
          DaveK

            I took a look at the batch file -- it requires the following four files:

            ta_NKP_AlcoRS11\ta_NKP_50t_hop_empty.s
            ta_NKP_AlcoRS11\ta_NKP_50t_hop_loaded.s
            ta_NKP_AlcoRS11\ta_NKP_50t_hop_empty.sd
            ta_NKP_AlcoRS11\ta_NKP_50t_hop_loaded.sd

            The wag file calls for those specific shapes, so if you don't have the Alco folder with those two shapefiles and the related SD files, it's never going to work in TSRE or in ORTS.

            The installer itself from Archive.org is either corrupted or just inoperable. I also wasn't able to view the CAB files, which is never a good sign.

            If someone actually has the operating set and would be willing to zip up the ta_NKP_AlcoRS11 folder , this would qualify under the archive exception here in the library

                I Got the RS11 Trainset File and Downloaded and Installed it. Then When I Installed the LV 25772 and Clicked Make Hopper bat it Installed the Hopper Car and it loaded and Showed up in the Consist File.
                I Did the Exact Same Thing with the Berwind Hopper. It Installed in the Trainset File Just like the LV Car Did. BUT IT DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE CONSIST FILE. It Still Shows up as Broken!

                  I just downloaded both and made both cars. With the Berwind Hopper, did you run the second makehopper.exe file in the new folder made by the first .exe? That installs the .s and .sd shape files plus common files.

                    The Car is In the Trainset File in Both Loaded and Empty Configurations. But For Some Reason IT WILL NOT SHOW UP in the Consist File. I Have to Manually Install it in the Consist!!! The LV Car Loads in the Consists the Way it Should.
                    The Berwind Car Shows Broken Even though the Trainset Files are Labled Exactly the Way the Car is Supposed to Appear!

                      Don't know what is wrong as you can see I have both hoppers working in OR. I use ConBuilder and only got errors in the .wag names for the LV hoppers which were easily fixed.

                      Since you didn't answer my question RE: running second makehopper.exe ( ok .bat file my error ) file - does you Trainset Folder look like this? If not run the file as indicated in red.

                        I Ran the Make Hopper.bat! The Car Installed in the Trainset File in Both Loaded and Empty Configurations. The LV Hopper did the Same Thing. However the LV Hopper DOES SHOW UP in the Train Consist the Way it Should. The Berwind Hopper Still Shows up as Broken!!! The Car is There but for some Reason TSRE Does Not Recognize it and it Still Comes Up as Broken!!!

                          You need the TA RS11 set installed in the same trainset as the Berwind hopper. Run the bat file that is in the berwind hopper folder and it will get the required s and sd files from the RS11 folder. Without the S file at least, it will always show as broken.

                              Can't offer anything more, as mine are working so have no idea why yours aren't.
