Hi avo,

Sorry, mate, it appears to be hard-coded into train.exe.

After I successfully created my RE screen resizer, I've been asked several times about doing something similar for AE, but I've...

Hi Peter,
This is an Open Rails Forum.
There's a pretty good chance that posters don't have, or are not able to run, the MSTS Editors!

Hi,
It appears that my as-yet-unreleased replacement for FFEDITc_unicode.exe will decompress this shape file, although it throws an error message! As my program is merely a front-end for Martyn T....

Hi Ashraf,
You're posting in the MSTS Forum, so am I right to assume you have MSTS installed, or, at least, have its files available to you?

If so, I suggest you download Shape File Manager from...

Windows 10 NotePad will also do it!
For MSTS files use the UTF-16 LE format.

Hi jiggywatt,
Error 522 indicates that the connection has timed out.
Your screenshot is too small to see, but it looks like the server containing the files you want to download is down for some...

Hi,
Thanks, Peter & Jon :) Sorry it's a bit late, chaps :mad:

v2.1 of sms_Checker will shortly be available from the file library.

It contains fixes for two bugs which Robert Lewis found -...

Hi All,

Hi,
Have now fully updated my Windows 10 to include the 20H2 Feature Upgrade and Shape Viewer is STILL working OK :)

I have now to update various programs and add software which wasn't in my...

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your suggestion, but I've already done that!

I tried resetting Windows, when it re-installed a clean v 20H2 but still Shape Viewer wouldn't work even after re-installing.

Hi,
@Gerry : The brackets are all OK, as proved by ConText!

@Carlo : Yes, splitting the two commands into two lines would solve the OR problem. It also makes for better understanding of the...

Hi Charles,
Thank you, but I still get the same 'Run-time' error.

Even removing the 20H2 Feature update completely didn't help!

As it doesn't seem to be a problem which affects everybody, I've...

Hi niknak,
I can't see anything wrong with the .sms file.

The OR log indicates that the Stream on line 362 is an extra stream. BUT it isn't!!
I wonder if Open Rails doesn't recognise the first...

Hi Chaps,
Thanks for all your suggestions, but I'm still having no luck :(
I've re-installed several times after clearing out the Registry with CCleaner and manually checking there are no SView...

Hi Charles,
"Module not found" message so I copied it from the Shape Viewer folder into SysWOW64 where it overwrote a version already there. Same error message. Copied it into System32, which...

Hi Charles,
Yes, Windows 10 version 20H2.

... and not just rebooting, but a cold boot also didn't help!

Exactly the same program in the same location runs OK under Win 7 (dual boot), which...

Hi Charles,
Thanks for your reply.
No. I'm not using the DDS version. Multiple/All objects - tested with default 380, Dash9 and KIHA31.
It even occurs when starting Shape Viewer from its...

Hi All,
Trying to use Shape Viewer today, I found it wouldn't work, giving the message shown below.

Uninstalling and re-installing makes no difference.

Does anybody know the reason, and a...

Hi Ashraf,
I was a little too late to edit my last message!

The next step!!

Shape files may be treated similarly with the following entry in the .eng file :

Hi Ashraf,
One step at a time!
Using the default Class50 and putting the .ace files in common.textures\class50, these entries work!

Hi Daniel,
Sorry, mate, but I've just downloaded the latest version and I have "MSTS_ActMan_v3.6_Installer.exe". These are the files unpacked from msts_actman.zip :

I think it may be a...

Hi All,
Version 3.6 of MSTS_ActMan should be available from the library in a day or two.

As well as fixing a couple of bugs, the program will now report if the lead loco of the Player consist...

Hi Barrie,
Derek asked if I could shed any light on your query.

The Player consist for each of those activities uses the MSTS default Genesis loco, which, unfortunately, doesn't have a cabview. ...

Hi All,
Apologies, but I've been made aware of a bug in v3.5 of MSTS_ActMan.


Under certain circumstances, when the STOCK FIX button is pressed, you may get a System Exception report, or nothing...

Hi Andre,
The .zip file and each of the files it contains are identical to the version which used to be available via uktrainsim!
