Roundhose train names not showing for maps adding TextKey

Posted so a search will bring up a single post - not yet in the Wiki (may be blind)

After doing a search this is mentioned in a few places in the forums.

I noticed on some of the maps in the roundhouse the names don't appear correct for some of the newer trains. Like the AC4400. Missing the full name description.

This may apply to some of the maps as the installer does not do this yet.

In your map folder there is RRT_Names_yourmap.xml

Example
To correctly show the new train name you need to add this tag or tags. (I added the txt name for the AC4400 can be whatever you choose.)

Code: Select all

<TextKey>
            <Tag>TAG_NAME_AC4400_DUAL</Tag>
            <Text>GE AC4400 Dual</Text>
            <Gender>M</Gender>
</TextKey>
<TextKey>
            <Tag>TAG_NAME_GP38_DUAL</Tag>
            <Text>GP-38 Dual</Text>
            <Gender>M</Gender>
</TextKey>

Atani can this be added to the installer??

I noticed this also, but I've been waiting to see if it's all corrected with the new Names_XXX.xml in the GLOBALS. (XXX = ianguage). While it can be put in each map, the better spot is in the GLOBAL XML.

We need an installer enhancement that can add mods to a map's xml files, a map that the user selects.
Sounds like a job for...Atani!

Yeah agree if there where a global file that would be better.

With all the changes and new trains its getting to be more time under the hood altering xml files. Thank goodness for the installers.

Thanks snoopy55 the light just come on about globals.

Sid Meier's Railroads!\CustomAssets\XML folder we have thesse global I presume language files

Names_ENU.xml has the <Tag>TAG_NAME_AC4400_DUAL</Tag>
Names_DEU.xml has the <Tag>TAG_NAME_AC4400_DUAL</Tag>
Names_FRA.xml
Names_ITA.xml
Names_NLD.xml
Names_ESP.xml

I see train names in there.

I'm off to work but would we apply the same thinking as to tender cars and remove all reference to train names from RRT_Names_yourmap.xml in the map folders.

So am I correct that we have to remove all tender car reference and now names of trains from the RRT_Names_yourmap.xml as well.

another job for the installers????

I figured atani would come up about this.... He just started putting GLOBAL Names XMLs in the Installers. I'm not sure which, except I just tried Side To Side, and it put the Names GLOBALS in. form there you either reinstall any maps with new engines and the 2 engine installers, or add them manually. I did a post of 9 Diesels available, which I'm hoping he'll do an Installer for.

Cross your fingers and twiddle your thumbs......
