Slappy Da Clown - quit 'clowning' around and read what you wrote

.... your problem is the NewTenders.XML. It stays in 'CustomAssets', the other two are where they should be, in XML.

Don't worry, I was once on to people about clear and precise instructions, like, give it to your 10 year old kid to do, but not many learn. Alot of maps still can be claimed by Firaxis as they leave the first few lines of their XML files untouched

OK

Im back again

Heres the deal. In an effort to make the game run smoother & have less CTDs I uninstalled the game & all its folders.

After reinstalling the game I put on the 1.10 patch. ( do I also need the earlier patch or is it included in 1.10 ? )

When I try to reinstall the tender mod now ( as per the instructions in snoopys previous post ) nothing happens.

Any ideas out there ?

I really appreciate all the help guys

Im sorry

Im missing something in your reply I think.

You said "Open file tender mod,dont tuch anything and save"

Do you mean to do this before or after I install it in the game ?

Sorry to be dense. Clowns are not noted for their smarts you know.

Under C:\Documents and Settings\me\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Railroads! I have:
CustomAssets (Folder)
Logs (Folder)
Saves (Folder)
ScreenShots (Folder)
UserMaps (Folder)
Settings.ini (File)

CustomAssets contains:

XML (Folder)
NewTenders.FPK (File)

XML contains:

_SCENARIOS_ (Folder)
RRT_TrainCars.xml (File)
RRT_Trains.xml (Folder)

If your system looks like this, you should be OK. Just remember, you won't see Tenders on the first few Engines.

You have tenders in all loco!

I'll take that correction, but, in a way you are wrong in your wording, the diesels and electric don't have tenders

I haven't looked to closly at the smaller engines. There were some very early steam engines made with the coal "tender" as part of the engine.

All steam loco

OK

OK Snoop

I have all as you say EXCEPT since I reinstalled there is no scenario folder in XML. You think that makes a difference ? Everything else seems to be working fine. I put all the maps I have loaded into User maps this time.

dusan thanx very much for trying to help but I am not understanding your english Im afraid.

Slappy Da Clown - OK, you say everything else seems to be working fine. Am I to assume that your maps are working fine?

The _SCENARIO_ folder (and that is how it will be seen) is where all the downloaded maps are usually put. UserMaps is where the Terrain Editer puts maps you create, or you put map that are in the process of being created by someone else. They then require a .SMR_Scenario ending, IF you are to work with them as they are, cities and such in place. You can put downloaded maps in the UserMaps if you want, they will work..

If you have followed as above and are still having problems, read the post by choobaca under Maps called 'Trouble loading maps??? Read this'. Other problems have been found and this takes care of them.

per my installer work (http://www.hookedforums.com/a/viewtopic.php?t=1383) attached is an installer which will install the tenders for a fresh install.

Updated 2007-03-04 10PM PST
Installer reuploaded after fixing tender car association problem. It is safe to rerun this new installer if you have already run it before.
