Adding a Route Description

[AdmiralLeviathan]

According to the RW Tools manual, there should be an option to "Add a Route Description" under the "Route Building Tools" drop-down menu. However, I don't see such an option.

Has something been changed since the manual was written? Does something need to be set up in advance before I can add a description?
Or I might just be missing something from lack of sleep

You sure it is not one of the buttons in the middle of the screen?

Do you mean on this screen?

I'm having trouble finding anything relating to adding a description

Yeah that is what I meant. I thought it was there but it is the Thumbnail only. I do not have it under any menu item either. Wonder if Mike got rid of it?

Anyway, you might try this manually. In your route folder make another folder called RouteInformation, then in it make another folder called En. In the En (English) folder make a html file called Description.html. Put your description in it. I believe it will just load, much in the same way you can have description files for engines.

Attached is the simple one I used for the NERW route.

I removed the original 'Add Route Description' from RW_Tools because it was intended for RS2012 where the description would appear when you first chose to drive the route and was completely different to the 'RouteInformation' folder in use now. I will probably add something similar in future as long as TS2015 still uses the same format as in TS2014 - you never know what they will change from version to version.
