RW&A ALCo HH660 problem

[ChrisOnline]

OK, we seem to be going around in circles.

The bottom line is . . . everything seems to be in the right place, appropriate asset boxes are checked in the Editor's flyout menu, and the couplers aren't visible!

Sometimes this thing can be a little quirky. Have you deleted the locomotive cleared the cache, closed the game, re-started and installed this beast again? I've chased these problems around for hours some times only to find that for whatever reason the game was saving the configuration on something.

I think your problem may be with the coupler blueprint ( coupler_ms.bin ) itself in the coupler folder...it has a path to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

If you don't have the GreatNortherner\Allegheny\RailVehicles\Coupler folders in your system that may be your problem.

Gosh I never looked there.

That's it! Excellent, thank you! I have edited the coupler_ms.bin file to set the correct path for the Geo files (same folder) and it works a treat!

Of course, that does mean that the actual download is incorrect (as a self-contained file, as intended), and will only work if someone already has the coupler files in the \Allegheny folder from another installation

Bear in mind, I wasn't the original OP here, so hopefully Matchstick101 is picking up on this.

Again, many thanks grfan3/HTH! And thanks for trying to help, Buzz!
