Railworks America

Hi All,
I am trying to swap rolling stock around in an activity for Cajon Pass = Diggin the Pass. When I get the select rolling stock section I select the Pacific Surfliner (.ap unpacked) and freight but all that shows is 3 PS coaches no freight. This is also happening with other rolling stock for example it won't display the default Kuju rollingstock. I have unpacked the .ap files using winzip. I can't see what the problem maybe. I checked the individual freight bin files in question but I see no problems in them when I compare it to freight that does show in the selection box. Everything works and can be selected in the sim editor but not in Railworks Tools.

Do you have them checked in the world editor scenario editor in game?

Tried that too. Bit I don't think that will effect Railworks tools. I still tried it.

Yeah after I posted I experimented and it made no difference. So what are you seeing in the asset window?

If you unpacked the .ap file with Winzip, then the unpacked files will be Read Only. You need to make them read/write to appear in RW_Tools (which is why it is easier to unpack the .ap files in RW_Tools because it automatically makes them Read/Write.

There is a feature in the RW_Tools Options menu to make selected files or folders read/write

If I remember right, you don't have to unpack the whole .ap either. It seems to me you just need to unpack the RouteProperties.xml for RW_Tools to see it. Same with scenarios except we'd be talking about unpacking the ScenarioProperties.xml .
Other than Properties.xml files I only unpack the RailVehicles folder for the sake of mods.

I didn't realize the read/write properties could be an issue. I will double check. Thank you.

Making files Read/Write solved my problem. Thank you for the replies.

"SOLVED"

I'd forgotten about the read/write part of that.
What I said about the Scenario and Route Properties XMLs still holds true though.

Yes and if you do it using RW-Tools it will take care of the read/write properties.
