Notice: Major update of TrainEditor

TrainEditor2 was born with greatly enhanced editing functions.

This editor can output not only train.dat but also panel2.cfg, panel.xml, sound.cfg, and sound.xml.

Almost all configuration files related to trains are completed with this editor.

The document is currently being written, but a simple usage will be posted after this post.

If you have questions, please post to this topic.

This tool is available for Nightly Builds after September 6, 2019.

This tool has just been born and there may be undiscovered bugs.

Your cooperation is necessary to resolve the bug.

We kindly ask for your cooperation.

Is there any way to adapt it to .NET 4.6? Anything newer is supported by Windows 10 only.

No. 4.7.2 can be installed on all OS since Windows 7

Okay then, thanks the error it threw has sent me to another MS page that tells I can install .NET newer than 4.6 on Win 10 only

Update: installer throws the same "OS not supported" error, I'm on Win 8

Um, could you install it?
I'm not good at English...

I'm glad to check if it can be started.

As long as you look at this site, it should be installable.
https://docs.microsoft.com/ja-jp/dotnet/framework/install/on-windows-8

Oops, 4.7.2 can be installed on Windows 8.1, but not on 8.

Yeah, I'm really excited to test it. I could install the openbve build, but not .NET - installer stops becuse it doesn't like Windows 8.

I can try upgrading to Win 8.1 - my laptop insists on it frequently and I never agree but I'll let it do it this time.

Sorry. The library used by the program requires 4.7.2...

I will upgrade Windows then and it should be fine

Thank you for the update, I wished I didn't have the first post of bad news... well actually it seems to be an on-going problem for me. If I try to run either "MotorSoundEditor.exe" or "TrainEditor2.exe" I get the following error "No available texture & sound loader plugins were found, please re-download Openbve"

I have NET framework 4.7.2 as required
Windows 7, 8GB RAM Core i7
Entire Data and Plugin folder set to allow read/write, all files in plugin folder are marked unblocked. Windows Defender is turned off and no other AV is running. Every other loader works flawlessly.

I did notice one thing from looking at your videos, the installation has an empty "Train" folder. My trains and routes are in the Addons folder which is in another file directory C:\xxx\xxx\AppData\Roaming\openBVE\LegacyContent\Train while this Installation is in the Programs folder. Should I copy and paste a train there?

Well, Mr. Delsin also encountered a similar error.
I want to investigate.

There is no need to copy the train folder.
You just have to reference the file from the import.

I am wondering if I need to download any codecs.

You shouldn't need any codecs- These are built-in.

I've tested on a couple of boxes, and can't find anything initially wrong, sorry

Before we try anything major, a stupid (??) question-
Have you tried the main game from this download?
It'd be useful to know whether this also exhibits the problem.

Everything else in that pack works, Openbve, Traineditor, objectviewer, routeviewer, etc. No errors on anything. Only the launchers that deal with playing back sound... so strange. All my PC sounds work, however I do use an external sound card.

Hmm...

Try this build, making absolutely sure you overwrite everything (if you've downloaded one earlier today, it was refreshed c. 30 mins ago):

Unfortunately no success on that build either, all other programs work but not traineditor2. LOL me and Delsin may just have to be two black sheep here, 

Dear mikedexion and Delsin

Please try the attached program.
Improve the error message to find the problem.

Just downloaded it. This came up first.
https://i.servimg.com/u/f52/20/11/20/84/a7cd0f10.jpg
Then the same error about Plugins not found. I also did a system file checker on my Windows 7 installation, no problems found.
[edit] changed to just a link

Please tell me the folder path where the downloaded device is located.

What happens if you put it in the desktop folder?

Now that looks somewhat familiar

Try this build (Refreshed just now):
https://vps.bvecornwall.co.uk/OpenBVE/Builds/OpenBVE-2019-09-11.zip

If it's what I think it is from that error box, it's this:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/file-schema/runtime/loadfromremotesources-element
There were major issues with this when it was first introduced many years ago, and it took a *long* time to figure out WTH was going on.....

You have solved the problem!!! Somehow, lol. Finally, in the latest build 9/11/19 TrainEditor2 opened right up with no glitches. (when the little circle loading icon was spinning I was at the edge of my seat haha) Thank you leezer3!  . Thank you both for your effort in helping me and hopefully Delsin as well.

So I finally updated my Windows and TE2 is now able to start. However, it throws a "wrong header format" error whenever I try to import any train.dat files
