Finding the Asset Editor.

Unread postby SD402 » Mon Sep 14, 2015 1:09 pm

Hello peeps.

I've finally got a considerable amount of stuff for Railworks. And I'd like to attempt reskinning the default TS2012 SD40-2.

I've been told I can use the Asset Editor to view assets. However, on my copy of Railworks, I cannot find it.

Could someone please tell me how to access it? I'd perfer to not use RW_Tools at this moment.

I am running The TS2015 version (52.2A I think)

Look in the ...\Railworks folder. It's named 'Utilities.exe'. You may want to create a shortcut to it to make it easier to access.

I think he's talking about tools to reskin.

Unfortunately, Railworks does NOT come with its own asset editor, however you can follow this tutorial to reskin the assets:

I've already found that program. Are you sure?

As to reskinning... I've got Photoshop, and know the general routine, having done many different reskins for sims. I just need to view assets without opening Railworks.

Edit - Ok, I've got the blueprint editor open. How does one view the GeoTgPx file?
