How to make scenarios show up in other routes

[Angelo]

Hey guys, I have been searching the workshop in steam and there are many great scenarios to run for the Surfline. I have both the original route and the Scale-Rail addon, however the downloaded scenarios only show in the original. Is there an easy way to get them usable in both? I have limited (but expanding) knowledge in RWTools so any help is appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Maybe I am doing it wrong, but it seems to work for me if I first run the scenario through RW_tools. Maybe there is something in the bin or xml file in the scenario that needs patching if you move it in order for RW to notice it and RW_tools makes that patch? Anyway this is what works for me:

The Pacific Surfliner route is in the folder starting with 00000027 and the ScaleRail version starts with b256a353.
I just copy and paste all the folders under 00000027-bla-bla/scenarios to b256a353-bla-bla/scenarios (choosing to overwrite any existing).
I fire up RW_tools and choose Scenarios->Edit Scenarios.
Highlight the ScaleRail PacificSurfliner route then highlight the subject scenario (like one just downloaded from the workshop) and press "Edit Selected Scenario" (some scenarios take a long time for the next window to pop up).
Without changing anything, I press "Save Changes to Scenario".
RInse and Repeat for any other scenarios I want to run.
Fire up RW and viola! The scenarios now appear under ScaleRail Pacific Surfliner.

Just to explain that a bit, since TS2014 you can't have 2 scenarios with the same UUID and GUID numbers at the beginning of the ScenarioProperties.xml files. Previous to TS2014 you could just clone scenarios and run the copies and they would work.

RW_Tools now produces a new set of each UUID and GUID number when it resaves a cloned scenario and so they should work OK no matter which version of a route you are using.

The only route that shows up is the ScaleRail version, that's it. How do I navigate to my other routes, the stock one has all the scenarios I want to transfer only one route is visible for selection.
