Reading Topic #726
I am a new fan of BVE and am trying to load up some routes. When I try to load the new route I get the message "train not found". The routes are downloaded into the BVE directory and seem to be in the right place. Any help appreciated.

Sometimes BVE routes are furnished without trains, or trains have a separate download and a separate installation.Usually these things are explained on the site where addons are available.Unfortunately I can't say more if you are not more specific...Cheers,

Go to C:\program files\BVE, you should find this.........
BVE............This is the main folder, there are also some other common objects in here (Signals etc), but also you will find two other folders, these are, TRAIN....All loco’s and multiple units are stored in this folder, (You'll find "113_4", which is a 3 lever Japanese Railways class 113 EMU, and "E217", a 2 lever Japanese Railways class 217 EMU), ANY extra trains you download ALWAYS go in this folder.Now we will open the train folder and see what's inside... WAV files... These are for such things as doors opening and closing, brake and run sounds.
BMP files... These are ordinary bitmap files and contain things like the the main panel,speedometer etc. If you double click on the, PANEL.BMP file you will be able to see the panel in full detail, (note, most train panels are now photo realistic,so they will be an improvement on this)
DAT files... There will be only one file, this controls the parameters of the train and should be left unaltered
TXT files... Usually only one, (train.TXT),this contains details of the train shown in the Train Information screen on start up, If you open the one in the 113_4 folder you will see a lot of garbage symbols, to correct this delete the garbage and paste and save the following script belowJR 113 EMU
Built 1963Q = Emergency BrakePower = 4 Levels
A = Increase
Z = DecreaseBrake = 8 Levels
< = Decrease
> = IncreaseNow do the same with the E217 Train.TXT file and paste this in ...JR E217 EMU
Built 1994ATS & ATC CONTROLQ = Emergency BrakeZ = Increase Power
(5 Levels)A = Increase Brake
(8 Levels)BK Space = Speed Hold
RAILWAY.......This folder has three Sub folders, which are...OBJECT.. This stores the objects for each individual route, as well as some default ones for common routes (a mixture of .wav .bmp .cfg .b3d .csv and .dat), Most new routes will simply contain everything in one folder, and will use very little of the default onesROUTE......Stores all the route files for each route (*BVE v1 are .rw BVE v2 are .csv)*NOTE.. BVE 1 was the original version of the sim, this was replaced by BVE 2 in about 2001, BVE 2 offers far more scope for detail, and is now the standard format, though most BVE 1 routes will run with no problems anywaySOUND.....Stores all the sounds for each route (station announcements etc), and some default ones too. (all .wav)CONTROLS The best way is to use your keyboard, the other options are not worth using or won't workKey commands,

For the train open the route file with the problem with Wordpad
you should see something like thisRoute.Comment EIDAN Tozai Line$chr(13)$chr(10)All Stations$chr(13)$chr(10)E 231 10 Car Unit$chr(13)$chr(10)7 Miles 14 minutes$chr(13)$chr(10)Urayasu to Kiyabacho

Route.Signal(1) 25
Route.Signal(2) 45
Route.Signal(3) 75
Route.Runinterval 1520
Route.DeveloperID TozaiTrain.Folder E231-800In this case there should be a folder named E231-800 in your TRAIN folder
