RW_Tools and Railworks 2

Please note that there have been changes in the Scenario.bin files in Railworks 2 which renders earlier versions of RW_Tools incompatible with the new version.
I have posted an update on my site to RW_Tools v2.1.55 which fixes all the discrepancies I have found so far (but there may still be others).
Please advise of any further problems found.
The following are known problems which I have fixed:-
1. In 'List Stock used...' options, you were advised of missing items '//' - now fixed
2. Edit scenarios, clicking on a Consist would produce lists of missing files named Assetsbin - now fixed
Both above occurred because of a new entry in some of the Scenario.bin files named <ReskinBlueprintID> - RW_Tools was getting this confused with the original <BlueprintID> sections.

Hi Mike.
Thanks for the customer care. Much appreciated.
I haven't as yet used the tools with RW2, I have used the other Must Have program (RWDecal) which works fine.
Best Regards
Buckeye

Stephen, I've never used Mike's tools and I've never found myself in a mess.
However, I do understand in the right hands they are very very useful..
Well done for updating the tools Mike.
regards
Derek

HA! I wondered what the missing "//" was that I got last night. Thanks for the update.
I do think RW should inform you beforehand of anything they do that affects RWTools so that you can get the update out before they release the changes.

Good morning Derek
The only reason I used the expression right mess
Is because without RW Tools we wouldn't know which route was which being as they are represented by a string of numbers
Mikes Tool is the only utility that makes sense of this
Kind regards Stephen

If you don't use Rw Tools Derek what is now the best way to delete a scenario in RW2? Immediately prior to RW2 it was probably too easy but there seems no easy method now.

Mark,
This has been mentioned before but I expect it's lost in the mass of recent posts! From the front screen go into the Editor, select Scenario Editor, highlight the route the scenario is in and then hightlight the scenario you want to delete. Click on 'Delete', confirm, job done!
