help with MSTS2Locomotion

Post by norfolksouthern16 »

Im trying to make a Amfleet Cafe Car for locomotion. MSTS2Locomotion wants a .s file (MSTS file), but there are no .s files.

More informations please.
What kind of format does your locomotive have?
It is best to make a screenshot from the folder where the vehicle is in it.

There are .SD files, but no .S files

Ok I understand.
The problem is only the one MSTS locomotive always consists of the following files:

.s-file
.sd-file
.eng-file or .wag-file

The locomotive is still available without a .eng-file. But the .S-file is the model itself. Nothing works without this.
Therefore, your folder with the rest is unfortunately worthless.

EDIT:
I think you loaded the file of TrainSim.com. There is that the original model of SLI is. In such a case you have to buy the Payware to get to the required .S-files. Because it is only a repaint. And SLI does not allow your files to be offered for free.

I made a Amtrak Superliner Diner, and when I try to use wrapper to create a .dat file, I get this error.

Should the error be its own thread?

Do I understand it right? You want to disassemble a .dat-file and get this mistake reported?

Is this file from Plasticman? Since I have read something more often that does not open or manipulate his files.

Or did you create the file?

this was made from MSTS2Locomotion and Vehicle Creator and I would never take something without permission

it was not appearing in object selection, so I opened it up to see what the problem is.

I did not want to submit to you that you change the file of another and then for your expellers. But some wanted to change the files from PlasticMan for private use and have failed. :wink:
