Sorry about the placement of the image files - I just could not get in the correct part of the text! pH
I have a pdf file showing the process step by step which I can post on DropBox if anyone is interested. Some 3rd party routes/scenarios use the KUJU weather so you need to ensure the Kuju ToD files are changed to the AP ones. There is a method of applying AP Weather EP vis TS_Tools but that is slightly complicated and not endorsed by Richard Armstrong.
Not all of the weather patterns work especially in QD scenarios, but the manual explains that That’s it and you do that for every scenario that you want to change the weather. Note you have to edit each scenario that you wish to change the weather it does NOT apply to the ROUTE universally.įurther Weather extensions built into the original scenario may also stop AP Weather EP from working but these can be removed via TS Tools if needed. See of the manual and this uses the inbuilt BUILD editor in TS2022. Once that is done you should now choose a scenario that you wish to apply the AP Weather EP to. Note the dates on the original files but these should change to the 2018 date as shown above. The TOD Files in the copied AP ToD files should be renamed as above. In the case of Cajon Pass the ToD folder and files are here: These are the AP ToD files note the date and size – no other TOD should be used. If the naming convention differs for the relevant route, re-name accordingly so the new files match the naming of the old. bin files in this folder named after each season and paste them into the TimeOfDay folder (in the ASSETS Folder) of your chosen route. Open this blueprint and see where the TimeOfDay blueprints are located and go there.Ģ) Go to your RailWorks directory and navigate to Assets\AP\WeatherEP\TimeOfDay.ģ) Copy the four. If there is no folder called this, find the ‘template’ blueprint for the route which is usually in a folder called ‘TemplateRoutes’. Richard Armstrong has written a very comprehensive manual and if that is followed you can apply AP Weather EP to any route very simply.įirst you must select the correct AP Time of Day files:ġ) Go to the ASSETS folder for the relevant route and find the folder called ‘TimeOfDay’.
You do NOT need to edit or change any \STEAM\steamapps\common\RailWorks\Assets\Kuju\RailsimulatorUS bin files or any other file except the name change as listed below. I hope no one minds my comments below but the above is the most convoluted and unnecessary set up I have ever seen to apply AP Weather EP to any scenario in any route. It uses its own sky model, only checking the latitude/longitude of the route's origin and the scenario date.Īgain, I don't have the AP pack, but I'm sure this should work. Of course 3D weather is completely independent from the above settings. the TimeOfDay files control how that weather actually looks. The weather you set in the scenario editor only controls if there are clouds, rain, fog, etc. I used Donner Pass TimeOfDay this way.)Īnd don't be confused. Hope this helps! (Can't test it myself but that's the procedure. Making changes to templateRoutes require a restart. (Always a good idea to make a backup first!) Look for this section at the bottom of the fileġ15. As we use a different sky GeoPcDx now, we have to tell the RouteProperties.xml that we use it. Now there's some more work to do (not difficult). Delete blueprints.pak in the RailsimulatorUS folder. Create a folder " TemplateRoutes" there (next to the. Save your file, drag it over Serz.exe shortcut again (delete the original SanBarst.bin first from your desktop as it is write protected and you won't get the updated bin file otherwise)ĩ. I do not know them, you have to check that out yourself.Ĩ. Replace " TimeOfDay\Spring|Summer|Autumn|Winter.xml" with the names of the AP Weather Enhancement pack season filenames. For each season, replace " Kuju" with " AP", " RailsimulatorUS" with " WeatherEP"ħ. This is where the four seasons are defined - they are responsible for the sky model and day/night cycle.Ħ. Load SanBarst.xml into Notepad++ (or any text editor that preserves encoding, in this case UTF-8)ĥ. Drag and Drop SanBarst.bin over the Serz.exe shortcut - it will create SanBarst.xmlĤ. Create a shortcut on your desktop for RailWorks\Serz.exeģ. Extract the TemplateRoutes\SanBarst.bin from the Kuju\RailsimulatorUSAssets.ap (to desktop for example)Ģ.
