Atomic Systems

I've downloaded and installed The Condor activity for Thames - Trent route. I also downloaded the two sound files and the cab file. I managed to install the cab files after a small hiccup but I'm having trouble with the sound files. As far as I can see I've installed them as per instructions but am getting error when running the activity.

These are errors that come up:

Failed to find SMS file
file: ""\""\common.sound\27_27.snd\gp38eng.sms (comes up twice)

Failed to find SMS file
file: C47eng.sms

Failed to find SMS file
file: ""\""\common.sound\26_27snd\gp38cab.sms

When I looked in the eng file of the loco thes files are in it so I don't understand why it can't find them. It also mentions then in Common Sound, Class26-27 file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
If the Class 28 you're trying to run is from files 31775, 31776 or 31777, the sound lines specify common.sound\26_27.snd\ as the folders which contain the gp38 sms files - Note the underline character and full stop.

The two lines you've quoted : file: ""\""\common.sound\27_27.snd\gp38eng.sms (comes up twice) and file: ""\""\common.sound\26_27snd\gp38cab.sms both contain errors - have you tried to amend these lines in the eng file?
The first line should be : Sound ("..\\..\\common.sound\\26_27.snd\\gp38eng.sms" ) and the second Sound ("..\\..\\common.sound\\26_27.snd\\gp38cab.sms")

I can't help with the C47eng.sms file, but it looks as if the sounds for that loco should be in the SOUND folder within the loco's folder.

Hi Steve
Its nearly always a typo error .... so worth double checking (unless you have Conbuilder)

I notice you have typed '27_27' .... but also '26_27'

Cheers

Hi Steve,

The class 47 sound error could be for a class 47 used in the activity,it might be a AI locomotive,depending which 47 it is,it might need one of MT's Class 47 sounds,if you haven't got one of theirs they usualy come with the GE or Scottish Capitals Express,there is a set of class 47 sounds in the library,but you will need to alter the class 47 eng.file.

Hi Steve, did you install the following files that are needed for the Class 28 Loco. :-

Sound Package for Class 26 and 27 Locomotives [5948117 bytes] - Class 26-27 Sound Package.exe File ID: 3911 Date: 30 Nov 2002 - 5360 Downloads

BR Class 26 and 27 Locomotive Sounds (Part Two) - 'Add-On' Pack [344411 bytes] - 26_27sound.zip File ID: 3922 Date: 01 Dec 2002 - 3949 Downloads

The Thames_Trent_Class_45 Loco. needs all the files in the one below copied into its Sound Folder for it to work correctly.

Sound file for Class 47s'/50s' [2031094 bytes] - UKTS_12258_Class_47_Sounds.zip File ID: 12258 Date: 07 Dec 2011 - 11474 Downloads

Hi Ged, Mike & Bob,

Thanks for your replies. Yes I did make a mistake, I meant to put 26-27. I have got those files and installed them. In the eng file of the class 28 the lines you mentioned are exactly what you put in green.

Mike, I've also got the sound file 12258 installed for the Thames_Trent_Class_45 loco and that is working OK.

Regards
Steve

Hi Ged, Mike & Bob

Sorry I've been a while letting you know how I've got on with the problem. It now works perfectly.
I decided to uninstall it all and carefully reinstall the sound file again. What I did previously was to make a folder in common sound instead of letting the installation process put one in. So this time when it asked me about making the folder I just said yes. So everything is running fine now.

Regards
Steve

Thanks for the feedback Steve - so many times when members offer solutions we never hear whether they worked or not.

Hi Steve,
Pleased to hear you have finally got the sounds sorted out and the loco is up and running OK,also thank you for telling us how you had got on.
