Hi, At the first launch of LocoSwap, specify the path to the game. Then I close the LocoSwap and rename or delete the game folder. LocoSwap no longer runs at all. In order to run it again, need to delete: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\LocoSwap folder. System Windows 11. Is this happening only for me?
Not sure what you mean by "and rename or delete the game folder." I have no (and never have had any) issues running LocoSwap since it was first launched.
If I understood correctly, then now you have RailWorks folder specified in the LocoSwap and the LocoSwap works fine with it. When the LocoSwap is not running, rename "RailWorks" folder to "RailWorks+++" for a while and then run the LocoSwap. What happens after that in your case?
Hi, You need to create new file "Resources.nl.resx" here: https://github.com/flicard/LocoSwap/tree/master/LocoSwap.Language/Resources
I actually know of this bug, having moved my TS install myself It's on the todo. A workaround would be to manually edit the C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\LocoSwap\LocoSwap.exe_Url_<custom string>\1.6.0.0\user.config (you'll find TS' path in the first lines. This way you don't loose all your replacement rules.
I don't make a habit of deleting or moving my TS install so would never have run into such an issue, my TS install is in the route directory of E drive which is a 2tb NVMe SSD if I ever need to increase the volume size I'd get a bigger drive and transfer TS to it and then rename that directory as E
After signin to GitHub I have no access to upload the file as you mentioned, see the attached screenshot:
After unintstalling several times can get 1.5.0.0. to run again but no luck with 1.6.0.0 so will run with older version until there is a fix
Looked at debug file and it says everything is not a valid route and no XML file although they are all there and 1.5.0.0 finds them fine.. Suddenly worked although I changed nothing. Will see how I go trying both versions.
Beware that each new version creates a settings folder of its own under C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\LocoSwap\LocoSwap.exe_Url_<custom string>\<VERSION> so changes you now do in your 1.5 won't affect your 1.6 and vice-versa. A new version will initialize its settings with the data from the previous one though (hopefully). I don't know why that is, this comes from the original LocoSwap!
I have had Locoswap for some time but I now have two TSC installs - the current and V72. When I install 1.6 can I point it at my v72 install or will it only work on the default version?
Oh, I forgot to clarify that I download "Resources.resx" first, and then open it in the Notepad++ and edit it (it's more convenient for me). And after editing, I copy paste Notepad++ content to github as already described above.
Hi Frankoi, I have made yesterday a LocoSwap fork on GitHub, uploaded the Dutch language file 'Resources.nl.resx' and made a pull-request. Please notify me as soon you have compiled LocoSwap included Dutch language so I can check translation in the context of the program and correct translation mismatches or to long translated strings.
Great! I assume that many Dutch TSC users who use LocoSwap will be glad that they can select the language 'Nederlands' in the settings dialog. I consider to translate your English manual into Dutch language included the Dutch dialog windows. Perhaps that manual can be later implemented in the LocoSwap (ZIP) package. How will translators be informed about releases where new strings are appended?
Hello everybody, A quick post to follow up: - v1.6.1 will be finalized soon, probably on friday, with updated RU & new NL translations, along with a small but welcome improvement - I haven't really thought out how to deal with translations, I think I will publish new releases with automated translations in all supported languages, and then always make a new minor version incorporating the human-corrected strings.
Hi Frankoi1337, Just a few minutes ago I have made some translation corrections on Github and I look forward to see LocoSwap v1.6.1 in my native language. Thanks for your great work!
** LocoSwap 1.6.1 available now ** https://github.com/flicard/LocoSwap/releases/tag/v1.6.1.0 * When selecting a missing vehicle, automatically focus the closest matching asset folder * Add Dutch translation (thanks to Sweppe) * Improve Russian translation (thanks to oldman777) * Add titles to `Change number` and `List all vehicles` windows
Looks promising except same issue of not starting again after install. Pointing at correct install folder but will not start again. Debug file just says starting up and nothing else
When you say "pointing at correct install folder", I understand that you checked the user.config file? Did you make sure to check the one that's in the 1.6.1.0 folder (not 1.6.0.0)?
Ok thanks - which is the option folder? I think you mean the App Data folder it creates, if so deleted this and ran exe again so it creates a new one. This time it worked! I then pasted over the rules section from the old version config and it still works! So at present looking good for no reason that I can understand.. First impression is that the 'nearest match' lookup is a real winner. Thanks for your help
OK, strange one... If you still have the old file, a strict comparision between the two (with WinMerge for example) would be helpful probably!
I took a quick look at ScenarioProperties for corruption and did not find any, so my likely reason for blame is out the window. I also sought stock from the Kuju category, which I know trying to swap within the app can crash the app as well. Is the app crashing trying to load the scenario, or when trying to change stock, or what exactly? Context is needed.
Yes, LSW is crashing when trying to load this scenario, https://alanthomsonsim.com/downloads/1a33-1345-leeds-to-london-kings-cross/ i think it's probably this 1.
Just downloaded the scenario and checked it in loco swap and it’s not crashing for me. What version of the route is it you have installed currently. edit swapped some stock around (I don’t own the ap 67 pack) was able to swap the stock. Saved the scenario closed loco swap restarted it and loaded same scenario again fine.
ok,i have latest route version(23/11/2023,i reinstalled to update ATS common for ATS southwales route) perhaps i should reinstall the scenario/route?
Yeah now you have reinstalled the assets reinstall the route. And check if it still does it reinstall the assets over the fresh copy of the route.
Hi, thank you for providing all the needed files for debugging. The Scenario.bin file seems to be totally corrupted as the uncompressed .xml only has the first line. You simply need to redownload the scenario from ATS and reinstall it. No reinstall of the route is needed.

I still have the old version installed for a comparable, way back at 1.1. What are you doing that causes this crash? I should note I ought to update my game before trying anything, though.
this usually means exactly as message says "RouteProperties.xml not found for this route ID. if you look in your Routes folder and search those long numbers,you will probaly see its just a few folder(s). Here;s a text file with some helpful info:https://pixeldrain.com/u/ZjEH7fpN pugsnotdrugs "
I should point out that what you pasted is not representative of any crash, just route folders with no RouteProperties.xml in them (well, yeah, sometimes logs just mean what they say ). Maybe you use LS' archiving feature, in which case I must have forgotten to adjust these messages (which should just be warnings anyway, intead of errors). More generally, LocoSwap does not work "on" TSC, there is definitely no reason anything would change following a TSC update. When you have a crash, you should fetch the debug.log right away as it will be overwritten on the next LS launch.
Thanks for this excellent tool! Just one question which is more stock related than tool related and that is, trying to swap the stock 325 for the AP one in one of the standard scenarios in WCML North. Is there a way to know which equivilant AP piece of stock to choose from the right to replace the standard? They are named slightly differently. Thanks.
Don't have the AP 325, but it offers more variants. I'd make a free roam scenario and place all stock side by side for comparison.
The DTPMV is replicated in the normal set up - Swap one DTPMV for the APEP DVT(A) and the other for APEP DVT(B) Swap the TPMV for the APEP TAV and swap the MPMV for the APEP PMV The (W2) and (W3) are just different weathering or paint jobs Peter
A quick question. What i do is create advanced quick drives. And while TS_tools do have a few batch editing features for adding ai-consists to routes, there are things i wish it could do. And dear old Mike Simpson has retired years ago. Does locoswap have any functionality in regards to quick drive ai consists?
Was it ever considered to include a darker style layout of the program, not like a full on black theme, but a gray scale one. It is harsh white and could make it easier on the eyes.
