Railworks America

I've been driving the black 5-4-6 and learning to manage my steam pressure to keep the thing moving. However, I have noticed that some sort of relief valve keeps tripping, even when my steam is well below max and sometimes even below 200.

So, naturally, I looked at the dev docs and saw a nice reference to all the variables in an engine blueprint. I then read "instructions" on how to use the asset editor in the dev docs and "instructions" at the wiki on how to use the asset editor. Out of all that, I managed to create a source folder, copy assets from the main game folder to the source folder and open the blueprint editor which shows all that nice stuff in the source folder and does absolutely nothing with it.

Then, of course, I did a search here and found lots and lots of threads that don't really talk about the same thing. (Let me repeat that for the inevitable "who are you and have you ever heard of the search button you intruder you?" posts: I TRIED SEARCH. (really!)

So, if anyone can help me understand what I need to do to see and possibly even edit that actual values in the engine blueprint file for the 5-4-6 black loco, I would greatly appreciate it. :)

Thanks!

Use RW_Tools to open, edit and save blueprint files.

This confused me also. I assume you 'serzed' the blueprint from a .bin file. It turns out the blueprint files generated by serz are not readable Blueprint Editor. They are in a format that you can edit with a text editor, but not in proper .xml format for the Blueprint editor.

So the process for changes is to serze a .bin to a .xml. Edit with an editor ( like notepad ). And then serze it back to the .bin file.

Yes, that is what RW_Tools does.

The Source folder is only for those with the original source code for the model, i.e. the model author. Not much use to anyone else.
