RW_Tools quirk with Sherman Hill?

Unread postby _o_OOOO_oo-Kanawha » Sun Sep 23, 2012 2:43 am

Has something been changed in the way scenarios are named since my RW_Tools doesn't display the name correctly anymore and I had to use the UUID to find and edit my scenario.

It apparently read the first <String> below the <ID> block, while the <DisplayName> is below the <String> block. That <String> block was previously unused because it was only a single </String> delimeter. It is mostly Tom and Eric now, the first lines in the <String> block.

Is it safe to use RW_Tools or do we better wait for an update as perhaps the file and/or xml structure has been changed otherwise as well, with all those fancy introduction animations?

Edited: other than that RW_Tools behaved as expected, I was able to swap some rolling stock. Didn't do anything more difficult.

Further edited: after duplicating a few cars and swapping them for the UP water canteen tenders to go with my copy of scenario 6: now named Employee Excursion Challenged, TS now won't allow me to run or edit the scenario anymore. SBHH without any useable information as always.
I have experience before that editing a scenario with both the in-game editor and RW_Tools leads to faulty results, but I know of no other means to copy all of the tasks from one engine to the other. The Sherman Hill scenarios have the engines loaded with tasks, so I just have to try again and this time swap only the lead engine in RW_Tools and the rest in the editor. Tedious, but probably safe.

Edited once more: the latest RW_Tools 4.0.10 didn't solve the problem.

I had this issue while trying to edit a career scenario, Maybe that is the case here

No, I was editing a copy of a standard scenario. I made the copy using the scenario editor and later wanted to swap out some stock using RW_Tools.
I don't entirely trust either editor when it comes to not maiming all that xml that makes up a scenario.
Upon opening a scenario previously edited in RW_Tools I often find the weather has changed!
