TSCM-Edit – Utility for Editing BIN/XML files Part of a larger project (TSC-Manager) TSCM-Edit is a standalone utility for editing TSC-Railworks BIN files. It uses an existing (i.e. your favourite) editor for actually editing the XML files (notepad++ is recommended) but auto-detects changes made in your editor and will update the BIN file when and if required, automating the SERZ process for you. Additionally, the generated/edited XML file is validated for obvious errors (e.g. text corruption, mis-matched tags etc.). Functionality 1) Run TSM-Edit for a BIN file - either by Windows “Open With” or drop the BIN onto the .exe. 2) This will automatically generate a new XML file for the BIN (in same folder). 3) The XML will be validated and highlight any obvious errors. 4) It will run your chosen XML editor (notepad++ is recommended). 5) Do any edits required to the XML and save in the editor. 6) TSCM-Edit will auto-detect the XML has changed, re-load and validate the edited XML. 6a) Edit again if required and further changes will be auto-detected. 7) The "Save" option will generate a new BIN file via SERZ from the updated XML (if required). 7a) Original BIN file can be backed-up first (optional). 8) Any XML files generated are automatically removed on exit. Best option is to use Windows "Open With" set for BIN files, then simply dbl-clicking on a BIN file will open it within TSCM-Edit... This will also work with BIN files inside a .zip/.ap, though can only be a temporary XML file of course. ... OR you can drag a BIN file onto the TSCM-Edit.exe... ... OR for permanant access to a specific BIN file, setup a shortcut to TSCM-Edit.exe and in "Properties" set the runtime parameter as the full BIN pathname (in double quotes) in the Target field. Examples Example#1 – Load up a valid BIN file... Your XML editor is started at the same time... Example #2 – Do a bad edit on the XML and Save in editor... TSCM-Edit auto-detects the changed XML file and the bad edit in this example (mis-matched XML tags)... Either re-edit to fix the problem or Save as-is, or abandon... System Requirements 64bit Windows (a 32bit version of TSCM-Edit can be made available if needed). Windows .Net Framework 4.8 (circa 2018). A valid RailWorks system with SERZ – uses SERZ64.exe by default. Standalone .exe – no other files required – does not use registry etc. Download Download from the Tran Sim Community website here (includes a PDF) https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...-and-tools/i7629-tscm-edit-binxml-file-editor FastLeg 30-Apr-2026 - All rights reserved - No warranty is implied or given
