Section 1
Installing an .rwp file
Easiest thing to do is right click steam, and select Library. Mouse over to Train Simulator, and right click. Click properties. Then find the tab that says local files. Then click Browse Local Files. You're looking for an .exe called Utilities.exe in the Railworks Folder. Double Click on it. Navigate to the Package Manager tab. Click Install, and select your .rwp. Let it install, it might take a little bit.
Section 2
Swapping the Horn of an Individual Locomotive
Now, you know how to get into the Railworks folder via Steam. So, I want to change the horn on say the Sherman Hill ES44AC. In the Railworks folder, click on Assets. It is important that you know who made the locomotive and where it was installed to. In this case, Sherman Hill will be under RSC. Once you have found that folder. It will have an ShermanHillAssets.ap which can be opened with 7 Zip. Double Click to open the contents. Go to Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\ES44\Cab. Drag out the file called Class ES44 Horn Sound.bin.
If you know how to associate files with Serz.exe then continue if not then see the below section.
Right click the .xml file and open it with Notepad. I will stress at this point to make a backup of the .bin file incase you mess up. You are looking for
- Code: Select all
<SoundComponent>
<cSoundComponentBlueprint>
<ProxyName d:type="cDeltaString">RSC\ShermanHill\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\ES44\Cab\Class ES44 Horn</ProxyName>
If you go through steam, and browse the local files again. It will bring up a new window. Navigate to
Assets\SearchlightSimulations
Should see a folder called NathanAirChimeK-series. Click on it. I'll use the K5HL_EarlyCast as an example.
Now you want to click the bar that has file path. Copy SearchlightSimulations\NathanAirChimeK-series\K5HL_EarlyCast to a new notepad document and add a \ to the front of it. Back in the horn's folder, right click K5HL_EarlyCast_HornControl.proxyxml
Click properties. Copy K5HL_EarlyCast_HornControl then in that new notepad document. It should look like this SearchlightSimulations\NathanAirChimeK-series\K5HL_EarlyCast\K5HL_EarlyCast_HornControl
Now copy the whole line.
Highlight, RSC\ShermanHill\Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\ES44\Cab\Class ES44 Horn then paste it. It should look like this now.
- Code: Select all
<SoundComponent>
<cSoundComponentBlueprint>
<ProxyName d:type="cDeltaString">SearchlightSimulations\NathanAirChimeK-series\K5HL_EarlyCast\K5HL_EarlyCast_HornControl</ProxyName>
Click save. Open with serz.exe to generate a .bin file and replace the old one. Load up Train Simulator to check if you did everything correctly. If not, then retry these steps.
Edit: Clearing the blueprint cache might help if it doesn't' work.
Section 3
Associating .bin and .proxybin with Serz.exe
Right Click the .bin file, Open with, Choose Default Program, scroll to the bottom and select More Options. Again scroll to the bottom. Look for another app on this PC. Click it. Navigate to the Railworks folder. Mine is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RailWorks
It may differ from mine. Click on serz.exe. Hit Open. You should get an identical file called Class ES44 Horn Sound.xml
.proxyxml, and .xml can be edited with notepad. Return to Section 2
