Produces Kuju ACE format texture files from many common image formats; intended to be used as a replacement for the makeace and makeacewin tools; by Scott M.
Yes, I agree. I tried to make some modifications and got a stupid SMS file not found error. SMS is a sound found and I think something got deleted when I tinkered with with it. I had to reload the whole game. However, I did find that installing new locomotives and rolling stock and making new consists are much more to my liking. I hear that when and if Train Simulator 2 ever comes out the editor will be much more user friendly.
TSRE5 is a route editor tool used for editing routes for Microsoft Train Simulator for use with MSTS and Open.
If you want to learn how to add new engines, change cabviews (not alter/edit), change sounds, build consist, and what not I'll be happy to explain it in simple terms. I've got pretty well figured out for the most part. To change your train consist or make up new ones: 1) Change your screen resolution to 1024x768 or greater. 2) Start/Programs/Microsoft Games/Train Simulator/Train Simulator Editor and Tools. 3) Activity Editor. 4)File-Open-USA2-ACTIVITIES-itre1s1w1t1.act (this is your EXPLORE ROUTE trains) 5) On the right hand side you should see something called “player service.” If it’s blank open that drop down menu and select any one, it doesn’t matter which, or pick “ITR.” 6) Whatever choice you make then click Edit.
7) On the left side of the screen a new window will pop up and where it says “Consist” click “New” to make a new train or “Edit” to change an already made train. 8) Begin adding locos and cars.
You can’t have any 'AI' (Aritficial Intelligence) locos or train cars in the lead. It must be a player drivable loco to start, otherwise you’ll get error messages about cab views, etc.

Also you can’t mix trains with couplers or break pipes that don’t match. Once you learn how to do this then it’ll be easier to add new downloads. HINT: If there isn't an icon next to the name of the loco it's probably and AI unit.

9) After saving your consist make sure it has a path. Just choose any default path if none are already Getting stuff from the interent: It's mainly do-it-yourself install. Stuff you buy comes with it's own installer. When you download something save it to a file where you can find it, like MSTS downloads or something.
Read those read mes that come with it. Sometimes instructions are differnt. Basically what you have to do is create a new folder in you TRAINS/TRAINSETS folder and then copy and paste your downloaded files into the new folder. Let's say you get a CSX DASH 9 you might create and name a folder that and put it's files in there. Then you might have to copy and paste your default dash 9's cabview and sounds folders to put in there. I say might because some cabview and sounds are aliased. Aliased means you don't have to copy and paste the cabview and sound folders because in the.eng file there is a code telling it where to look for the cabview and sounds.
Go see my thread on editing/replacing cabview and sounds. Sometimes downloads come with self-intallers but that's usually from professional developers/designers who have free download section to their website. I haven't bought software over the internet but I assume it's the same as if you bought it at the store. Downloads that come with self-installers that are available on free sites like www.train-sim.com and what not are very rare. Usually if you read enough read-me files you figure it out and get the hang of it. That's it for now.
I'll let you all digest that and come back with some more tips later. And if I got something wrong please let me (but please do it English or it's equivalant ;) ). Lets roll with this! Yes, I understand how the sim's are over and above e-mail. I started with Atlas Right Track Software. I had NMRA in Chattanooga, TN fax me 'Scenery &Operation in 5'x8' December 1970 RMC.
Then I transfered the track plan into the software by virtue of the fact that good 'ole Bill Shoppe used Atlas snap track and Snap Switches, and improvised with a #6 Custom Line Switch at Sheffield and routed an interchange track from the junction back to the yard, which brought a new dimension to the idea by default. Then I found out about 3rd PlanIt, at www.
The presents of the opportunity to run a SD40 from the cab held a month of drive to be able to figure out the software. Print these tutorials out as I did, with a black and white printer, no less, and punch holes to put the tutorial into a folder, a 49ct pocket type, to keep all this frustration from the rest of the world. Use a simple oval, then install a yard, then duplicate the yard to the other side of the layout. At any time, add scenery, terrain, mesh, textures, objects. Then get out one of the old fashion 'magazines,' like MR or 'Trains,' and follow up on the internet addresses to the simulator websites. I'll bet you wind-up on Planet Auran.
The dedication to the seriousness of the hobby will impress you. The content creators which give you the engine downloads will give you courage to try more! Then go to John D. Petersons www.alabamarailfan.com and see the MSTS version.
