deleting autonumber help?

[o0nightfire0o]

so another problem im finding is that on some engines the auto numbering is covering up the printed number, so using RWTools I can edit the bin file I know, but im not sure what to edit, is this what I should be looking at and if so what do I edit/delete?

<cEngineComponentBlueprint>
<NumberingList>
<cCSVContainer>
<CsvFile d:type="cDeltaString">Kuju\RailSimulatorUS\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD40-2\CSX-8\Engine\sd40_2_Def2_numbers</CsvFile>
</cCSVContainer>
</NumberingList>
<FrontCouplingBlueprintID>

by the way there is no number.dscv file in the engine folder if that's of any use.

No guarantees this will still work. It did once long ago.
unzip & put this file in the engine folder.

sd40_2_numbers.zip

sd40_2_numbers.zip

well I hate to say this, but no it ditnt work :(

did you delete the blueprints.pak from \Assets\Kuju\RailsimulatorUS?

I had some notes from when I fixed it here 3-4 years ago. I'll look for them.

EDit. Look in the engine\textures folder and see if there is an SD40-2_Digits.bin

[o0nightfire0o]

ah didn't notice that, no theres no digits.bin in the engine textures

OK try this

SD40-2_Digits.zip

that seemed to have done the trick Tom, thank you very very much, im sure it wasn't easy or fast work

Credit for the fix should go to Shayfan1 who seems to have left the scene. He did the hard work. I just adapted it for my own purposes initially.

Glad it worked. The same problem happens with the kuju ES44AC too and I've never been able to make the fix work. I have learned a lot about railworks files since 2012 so maybe when some of the other projects get finished (Yeah, right!) I'll see if I can edit the engine bin and those 2 fix files. Then again, maybe not

Hi all,

There is another workaround/trick to take off numbers of any rail vehicle. It only works in the scenario editor though and also only on a per-scenario basis and with some limitations, it is not a global change to the rail vehicle in question.

By changing the numbers of the rail vehicle in the editor to have a different number of digits (say by adding a fifth number to a four-digit road number), all auto-numbers will be made invisible on the model. All you have to do is double click the engine/car and edit the road number in the right-hand panel of the editor.

That can quickly get tedious when one wants to do it for a larger number of vehicles or in many scenarios, but for just a few it is I think a fairly efficient workaround. Please keep in mind that this should ideally be done before setting up any consist operations (marshall, pick-up, drop-off) or it gets a whole lot more difficult because RW scenarios identify vehicles for work orders solely be their numbers. The editor will refuse changing a vehicle's number when it is included in a consist operation.

Cheers
