openbve today
« on: April 26, 2013, 01:16:31 pm »
I recently installed openbve. It seem a lot of fun but when it come to downloading and extracting routes that where i am lost. My pc show that it go to user data then legacy content then railways then route.
Let say i download the A train i place it in after the word route. Now i can play with little problem because my pc is old.  Now i download the C train and where should i start the extracting ? after the first route folders?

make it extract to where is said BVE>Railway>Route. In route folder there should be three folders inside. Sound, Route,  Object.
MAKE SURE THEY R IN THERE. then it will work,

hope this helped

Has to be more specific like C:\Program Files (x86)\BVE\Railway\Route\NYCT-C
Cant be BVE-->Railway--->Route

most installers install the route to

C:\Program Files \BVE\Railway\

on 64-bit systems
C:\Program Files (x86)\BVE\Railway\

for trains it's

C:\Program Files \BVE\Train\

on 64-bit systems
C:\Program Files (x86)\BVE\Train\


drag the railway and/or train folder to:

C:\Program Files\openBVE_stable\userdata\legacycontent\

on 64-bit systems
C:\Program Files (x86)\openBVE_stable\userdata\legacycontent\

No you don't need to download bve to make openbve work better.

Just make the folder structure that CT1660 showed you.

Ya know, if every package -- be it train or route -- was stored such that the only thing necessary was to unpack in the top-level, there would never be such confusion.  It's really a pity that nobody has the guts to actually repackage the ones that aren't set up this way....
