Re: .ap files??
Posted: Mon Sep 29, 2014 6:39 pmYes the VRC engine and other stuff is in it, 430 meg .ap file. The 2 repaints for the CSX version are still there normally.

I'm guessing something went very bad in the Steam client.
This is going to look bad for DTG unless they can point the finger towards Steam.

Posted: Mon Sep 29, 2014 7:25 pmThey did some weird stuff today that's for sure.
I had my mods found and snipped from the end of external folder structures today during the update. They left the external folder tree there, but snipped off the mod at the end. Very strange.
Not overwritten but removed...
I feel like we're the victims of a mass hacking. As Dr. Sheldon Cooper would say. "They touched my things..."

Someone else had pointed out, last week in another thread, that ScaleRail files had turned into .ap's. I speculated that it's because All Aboard's routes that use ScaleRail's products are now sold thru DGT and distributed thru Steam. Which could mean any routes that use assets from other routes sold thru Steam could be changed as well.

Since DTG is turning everything into AP files (there is only a few routes left that are not yet converted), it seems logical that if they distribute the stuff that it will show up as AP files. The main reason is to improve the verification process.
And yes, that might cause issues for non DTG routes/stock that use the pieces of the those products that are now distributed through DTG/Steam but did not used to be.
