Hello everybody, I am told that it is possible to convert mods from Train Simulator (MSTS) to Locomotion. This is true?? Because if, I can bring my mods made for MSTS for Locomotion.

MSTS to Loco does exactly that. Use the search function and it will turn up.

That's the one. Also check out Walter's other stuff; he has a plethora of useful tools.

Sure LocoRoller, i will check it. Thank you.

Morning group. I am trying to load the MSTS2Locomotion application but I keep on getting an error called VB.USERCONTROL and when ever I use the install bat I get a Dll Registar Server fail and a it says something about a Comctl32 fail as well? Anyone able to help.

Comctl32.dll is a Windows/System32 file, in WinXP Pro. I think I remember seeing that file name from earlier versions of Windows as well, such as Win2000 and ME. I don't know if it exists in newer versions of Windows.

What version of Windows do you? That may be your problem.

If the file " Comctl32" is missing, use an online search tool, you should be able to find it and download it.

I still use Windows XP. Therefore, I can attach it. Hope that's help

When I load a .s file an error message appears: "Run-time error '6': Overflow"

This error message I only get when I first installed MSTS2Loco and then the Shape Viewer. The Shape Viewer overwrites important files from MSTS2Loco. I can never keep both programs run concurrently. But that does not matter.

When i start my MSTS2Loco i get this error: Component "Comctl32.ocx" or one its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid. Someone know why?

I assume you used Windows 7 !? But which version? 32-bit or 64-bit?

I had this problem with Windows 7 32-bit. But unfortunately found no solution. Therefore I have Windows XP installed again. But this is no solution for always.

I have Windows 7 64-bit. Oh really no solution? So i can't make nothing???

I dont know. Maybe there is a solution for 64-bit. Only I do not know it. Sorry

Firstly, do you still have the models you used to make the msts vehicles? If you do, I would suggest using 3ds max to render them instead. msts2loco kinda sux because it will only load an .s file and not the .eng file so if you have a second .s in the eng file, forgot what it's called atm, it will not show up. There is a render scene for max floating around here somewhere to render the sprites.

If you don't have the models, you can still convert them using this program - ShapeConverter. Scroll down and find this "Versione stabile: release 4.1 ( eseguibile o sorgenti)" to download it.
This will also import the animation of the model but it's kinda messed up. It loses the 8th frame somehow. You'll see what I mean if you try it.

If you don't use max or another 3d program to render them and HAVE to use msts2locomotion, then you will have to download and install Route Riter. I had the same problem as described above when I started and was told about Route Riter. It is a program for msts routes but it installs the missing files. After I installed Route riter, the programs worked right away and I have Window 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

Hope this helps...

EDIT: When installing Route Riter, it also installs 2 other small programs for the .ace files but they need to be installed into the Route Riter folder to work properly with RR. So please read the readme for Route Riter to find out exactly how to install them. They come in handy when installed correctly.

so sorry to drag up an old post but i am reciving the say "Run-time error '6': Overflow" error i have brrn trying to fix it for the last couple of weeks but would like sum help please!!

More information would be good.

i am trying to convert msts locos to locomotion so when i use the msts2locomotion part of vehicle creator i get that error

Did you read my tutorial? ---> http://www.walter1940.de/tutorial/msts2loco/english/

Do you have the error anyway?
- Which operating system do you use?
- Have you clicked "Install.bat"?
- Has it already been working with you?
