I have no idea if this will run on a Mac. I’ve never had one and wouldn’t know what had to be done to get it to run on an Apple machine.

I am making sure to put the problem line in my new map’s RRT_trains xml so that will not be an issue going forward. Thanks for playing. Slider

When I first installed and played Mid-Atlantic Steam, I was only able to load passengers and mail. Then I read Dan’s email and realized I had company.

Like Dan, I lack the skills to modify the code. Thank you Slider38 for taking care of that for us fossils.

I love the map. It is wonderful!

Guy

I got it and it seems to work. Hazzah!! I am very much looking forward to playing this game. Thanks for your efforts, I really appreciate them.

The map zip has been updated with a new RRT_Trains_Mid_Atlantic_Steam.xml which contains the passengerandmail lines in each engine listing. If you have already downloaded the map and had no issues running it, there is no need to download it again. The addition of these lines in the trains xml is the only change. Dan Moriarty, download the map again and this should solve your issue.

Send me a private message on this board and I will send you back a new RRT_Trains_Mid_America_Steam.xml file that you can just copy over the one you have. It has all the passengerandmail changes in it. My username here is Slider38

I have tried to follow your advice but I confess to failure. I confess to being technologically maladept but when I open the trains file you suggest I see mostly lines of numbers with none of them labeled as “passengers and mail only” or anything like that. When I look at the strings of numbers following, for example, the grasshopper group I see something called Planet Bridge in which there are two single numbers, one a 1 and one a 0, and I tried to change them to see if that might work, but I found my computer would not allow me to make any changes at all. Am I doomed to play the game with passengers and mail only or there some other possibility?

If you look at the game’s original RRT_Trains.xml and check the listing for the TGV about halfway down is a line PassengersAndMailOnly which is set to a 1 which means it can only carry passengers and mail. You need to add that line with it set to 0. You will have to add the special characters which I can’t do in this comment.
