Can anyone please explain to me how reskins work??? I have the Wessex 442 and would like the DP Simulations NSE 442 reskin. Once I have downloaded & installed the reskin does it mean I lose the Wessex 442 & it gets replaced by the NSE 442??? How does it work when it comes to scenarios??? Can i drive the NSE version instead of the Wessex version or does a custom scenario have to be made in order to drive it??? Sorry for the many questions, this is a side of TS I'm very unfamiliar with & hope someone can take the time to explain things a bit further... Thanks in advance Eric
When you install a reskin it creates a Duplicate of what you own plus another in the new livery. You don't lose the original as that is the Default Livery From this https://store.steampowered.com/app/...r_Gatwick_Express_Class_442_Wessex_EMU_AddOn/ You can have a Reskin in to NSE, Stagecoach or the new South West Trains liveries You can use almost any train on any route in Quick Drive but if you wish one to appear in a Scenario there are a number of ways Create a Scenario from the start - but that is not as straight forward as it seems Download a Scenario that Features the train you wish to use Find a Scenario and Clone it - you can then use the new train on your route. If you had a route which has the SWT 444 you could swap it for the 442 Peter
I have read about making backup files... Is it REALLY necessary to create a backup file as I find this side of things rather confusing... Eric
Backup files are only needed to replace lost or damaged files. If you can solve your problem by simply downloading the file again from Steam or elsewhere then you don't need to make a back-up.
What I'm struggling to get my head around is that I have to delete a file then run the DPS 442 rwp file... how does this create a Wessex 442 AND an NSE 442 if I've modified the original file??? Eric
I took Cat's advice, took the plunge and hit the buffers so to speak!!! Before I explain any further and so you know I have an MSI GE63 8RE i7 processor with a 6GB GTX 1060 graphics card, a 256GB SSD HDD and a 1TB HDD... All my TS files are installed on the D drive as i read that as the SSD drive is [comparatively] small its best to keep that drive free mainly for boot files & windows etc... As instructed on the DPS 442 readme file, I located the file & did exactly what it said: (Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\DTG\Class442Pack01\RailVehicles\Electric) All was fine till I got to Class442Pack01. When I opened the file there was NO RailVehicles file...!!! I'm really stuck now as to what to do... If anyone can offer me any assistance I'd be eternally grateful... Eric
Try opening the .ap file in that directory with a program that can open .zip files, such as 7zip. Inside of that should be all the folders, and you can copy out the files as needed.
Did you run the batch file? 3. Go to the folder: (Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\DTG) and run the 'InstallMe442NSE' batch file. That copies across the relevant files to make the repaint work Peter
Here's a useful guide for installing 3rd party freeware. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=494777559 I'm a computer numpty but if I can do it, anyone can.
Sorry to sound a real thicko... I don't have any such file when I've extracted the file... All I have is the following: 442_NSE_v2.1.rwp Class442_Network_SouthEast_readme_v2.0 Dovetail_Games_EULA_Disclaimer NSE_destinations Cheers Eric
Like you found the Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\DTG\Class442Pack01\RailVehicles\Electric folder you just need to go to Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\ and install the repaint with the Utilities program I explained it to someone else in this thread https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/adding-3-party-addons.13364/ Then go to your Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\DTG folder and run the 'InstallMe442NSE' batch file.
