Feb-12-02, 08:43 PM (EST) "Activity read me files" I have a simple request for Activities involving non-default equipment. When listing the required files in the read me file, not only should the .zip filename be listed, but also the name of the folder it should go into. I have just finished finally getting the Marias Helper service activity straightened out in my train/trainset folder. The activity is very much worth all of the headaches in getting the folder names right, but all of this could have been prevented if the correct folder names had been listed in the activity read me file.The voice of insanity in a seemingly normal world.

Feb-21-02, 02:57 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Activity read me files" It would also be nice to have the correct file names so it saves having to search for the files.eg:GN_cattle.zip should be gn_cattl.zipBut other wise keep up the good work Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Activity read me files" And another thing, please see how others have listed the same rolling stock, this helps with consistency and so some people do not have to have the same car different ways, this only confuses AE and Conbuilder when you try to use them to modify consists.Kevin Arceneaux Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
