[NL Trainset] Where is the 100% reliability version ?

[mijack]

I couldn't read the 39 pages of the NL trainset topic, but i saw that there should be a version without breakdown. Unfortunately i can't find it on the NL website. Where can i find it ? I just HATE breakdowns !

Use Wrapper tool to change that.
The manual is here:

You can down load it here:
http://www.locomotion-fanpage.net/forum ... 126&lim=10

But you have to register first before downloading.

Ok, thanks. I guess there is no version without breakdown if you give me this link. But i'll change the DAT files manually then.

With Wrapper i takes only a few minutes for all the hundreds of vehicles in one go.

I've downloaded and installed Wrapper. When I run it, it starts up OK and I can tick options, but when I drag a .dat file into its rectangle, the actual game Locomotion starts up ! I close Locomotion down, but all Wrapper has done is to copy the .dat file in a new Normal folder. Other folders have been created called improved_reliability etc. but there's nothing in them.

[chevyrider]

That's strange, never heard of something like that.
Did you change the position of any folders after setup?
Try to reinstal Wrapper.
Sure your not dragging a exe in it?

On my PC i've Loco.exe in D:\Locomotion.

Lt Wrapper.exe and locotool.exe in D:\Locomotion\Wrapper.

Nope, I haven't moved any of the Wrapper folders. The files I've tried dragging in are definitely .dat files. Does the folder position of Wrapper relative to Locomotion game have any significance ? I'm at work right now so I can't try anything out, but I'll go for the uninstall / reinstall option tonight, if I'm sober enough when the pub shuts !

I used the 'one loco at a time' manual program to convert a .dat file to XML and back - that's fine. Whilst we're on that subject, which value do change in the XML to get 'no breakdown' mode ? I assumed that 100% reliability would do the trick, but apparently not.

[chevyrider]

For no breakdown change the line in the xml to this: 0

Code: Select all

<variable name="reliability" size="1">0</variable>

for no obsolete into this:65535

Code: Select all

<variable name="obsolete" size="2">65535</variable>

good luck.

Thanks for all that. Making 0% reliability = 'no breakdown' is the sort of thing I'd design then everyone else would raise their eyebrows at !
