I downloaded "Seaboard Route Full" into my MSTS but every time that I try to run it I get a message:  Faild to open texture file.  I believe that I have all of the downloads that are needed for it, "New Roads, XTrack, Frieght Activite and a couple of others.  It starts to open then fails.


Thanks

That is very strange, I have never seen this happen.  The "Seaboard Route Full" should really have everything you need.  Did you run the "installme.bat" that's in the \ROUTES\SAL folder?


If so then you should check the route with RouteRiter.


Thanks,


Steve

Did you make sure to run the Installme.bat file that was placed in the directory for this route?  If this file was not run, there are quite a few files that would be missing.  Most of those files would come from the 6 original routes that were installed with TrainSimulator.

Let me emphasize:  You MUST have all six original routes installed in the ROUTES folder in MSTS.  If you don't, not all files will load via the installme.bat and you WILL get errors.

I don't know a lot about downloading files, this is the first time that I tried to download something like this.  I am learning as I go.  I'm not sure just what six original routes you are talking about.  I installed the Salfladiv, Salflall, Salrspk 1, Salespk 2, Saltplt, New Roads and three xtracks.  I have noticed that there is a folder with a zipper for all of the files except for the Salfladiv.  There is only a plain folder for Salfladiv.  Did I miss something that I should have downloaded?  What are the six that you are talking about to make sure that I have them all?  I'm not sure what the RouteRiter is and where to find it.  I believe that I have installed all of the installme that there is.

I assume that all six of the original routes were installed.  I installed everything that the instructions said to.  I show Europe 1 & 2, Japan 1 & 2, USA 1 & 2 and Tutorial Route.  If everything wasn't installed from the original MSTS wouldn't I have had problems with it?

You have all the routes you need.  So, as Jim and I asked, did you run "Installme.bat"?  Not running that will cause a lot of these very problems.


Thanks,


Steve

I ran "installme" MS-Dos Batch File.  That is the samething isn't it?  I didn't see anything listed as "Installme.Bat."  I did a little checking and yes I ran the "Installme.Bat."  I left clicked on it and it ran through a hole list of files.  It was very fast and I wasn't able to read what they were.  I have not seen anything run like that before.

I ran it again and then tried to open Seaboard Route again.  I got the following; No extended shape data for A1lXOVER90d.s

That is an XTracks object I believe, do you have XTracks installed?  If not, install it.  If so NOW would be a good time to run Route Riter on it.


Yes installme is the same thing, it is really "Installme.bat" but you have your file system set up to "hide extensions of known file types" -- a windows default behavior that I hate. 


Thanks,


Steve

There is a similar file in the Global\shapes directory called A1tXover90d.s.  Next question is which Xtracks file did you download and install?  The self installing version, XTracks.zip, or the version that you would have to copy all the files to the correct location which is Xtracksf.zip.  The file latter would require a little more work to install.  It sounds as if Xtracks is not correctly installed.

Yes I installed xtracks.  There was three and I didn't know which I needed so I installed all three.  Could that be the problem?

What does Route Riter do, where should it be installed, how does it run?

Check the directory c:\program files\microsoft games\train simulator\global\shapes for these two files, A1tXover90d.s and a1tXover90d.sd.  If you don't see them, you might not have installed Xtracks properly.  I am assuming you have installed Train Simulator to the default setting.  Also, you should check to make sure that you have the proper tsection.dat file installed to the directory c:\program files\microsoft games\train simulator\global\.  You can open that file with Wordpad to see what the build number is.  It should say Build 35 and a minimum.  If you don't want to open it, the file date is 11/13/2006.

I'm not sure were Train Simulator it's been years since I installed it.  I just ran the install and let it put it were it wanted.  I will check to see about the ones that you said.

I checked and I did not see "A1tXover90d.s and a1tXover90d.sd."  I did see "tsection.dat."  I didn't see "Build 35" but I did see "tsection.dat-build 00033 of the standardized\global\tsection.dat file.
