Mt Bulleid coaches unable to be used in scenarios?

[Aidan Strand]

Around a year ago now, I downloaded the freeware Southampton to Weymouth steam era route from Steam Sounds Supreme. I've tried getting the scenarios to work however I kept getting the error message that I required to purchase the Mt Bulleid coach packs.

After I purchased them all, I keep getting this error. As well as this, when I try to use them in a scenario of my own, the text appears where you select which item you want to place however it doesn't load up when selected.

They are quick drive compatible however they cannot be used in any pre-existing scenarios or scenarios I try to create. Any help?

Are you sure you have the correct MT GordonMack Bulleid coach pack?

The scenarios for the Southampton-Weymouth use the Bulleid Corridor coach pack that was sold by Matrix Trains directly on their website (& not through Steam), which are a different version to the Bulleid coaches by MT (GordonMack) sold as a Market Place DLC in the Steam Store.

So you can check the location of the assets required, they should be in this default place in your installation (if you have them!). All the best.

Appreciate the comment. Any idea on why I can't use the Steam packs in my own scenarios?

Have you selected the developer (i.e. GordonMack) & the relevant DLC coach pack(s) you want to use in the World Editor using the "Object Set Filter" flyout [the blue cube with orange arrow, that clicking on opens a flyout window the top right hand side of the editor].

By default the GordonMack DLC won't be selected in the Object Set Filter, mening the authors' DLC assets (that you own) won't appear in the available assets for use - that is until you manually select them (placing ticks in the relevant boxes). That's the most likely reason you're not seeing them. Best, Al. :)

Growler, that's interesting news that the MT Bulleid coaches are different from those sold in the Marketplace. Do you know in what way they are different?

No sorry Cat, I'm unsure of the differences if any (apart from the known different asset folder/file locations in the game). I have the original sets from MT, but not their Market Place versions of the Bulleids; so can't do a direct comparison myself.

It's certainly not helped by the fact their MP items don't seem to have manuals, and have woeful descriptions provided in the Steam Store. The lack of documentation certainly makes it very confusing as to what all these numerous coachsets are including. This though applies to many MP DLC, not just the MT coach sets. There's no doubt about it, DTG are extremely poor at marketing the MP add-ons - I woldn't be at all surprised if this results in far poorer sales than might otherwise be expected. Ho hum, have numerous times tried to alert them to these difficulties; but they won't be told! ;) All the best.

Growler, thanks for your reply, I too have the MT set and checked the MP for differences and couldn't see any apart from the Tavern car. Yes I agree, the marketing of MP DLC is rather poor considering IMO its potential. Their loss. Best regards.

From what i can see is that the Matrix Trains Bulleids bought direct from their site are in Assets\GordonMack\Bulleids\ as Growler says.

There are 3 marketplace Bulleid packs which are all still in Assets\GordonMack\ dir, but their dirs are called 'Bulleid 64-6 Set1' , 'Bulleid 64-6 Set2 Bournemouth Set' and 'Bulleid 64-6 Set3 Tavern Cars' .

The Bulleids that came with the S15 loco, 59' & 64' nice as they are could do with a BR/SR reskin,

You can swap the old stock for the Marketplace stock using RW Tools. Read the RWT instructions and it's quite easy. The reason for the different folder names is due to DRM protection on the Marketplace files. You cannot have DRM protected files in the same folder as non protected files. It can send TS graphically haywire. RW Tools is free .Pick the full version RW Tools Full7.zip if you don't have an older version. Find it here http://www.rstools.info/downloads.html
