WCML Trent Valley

[whiteij7544]

I am having trouble with Trent Valley showing up in RW Tools. I have extracted the AP file but it doesn't appear. Anyone got any ideas?

Make sure the files are read/write enabled.

Do you mean in the asset folder?

The following are my full instructions for users wishing to extract routes / assets from the .ap files:-

1. If you are using Windows 7, 8.1 or 10, you must run RW_Tools as administrator (right click on RW_Tools.exe and select Properties/compatability and tick the box 'Always run as administrator').
2. Run RW_Tools and go to Files/Find all .ap files
3. Once the list of all the .ap files appears, click on the ones you wish to unpack (CTRL-Click to select a number simultaneously)
4. Click the first button in the bottom row to unzip using 7zip (this is NOT the same 7zip as you may have downloaded, but a special version included with RW_Tools and this one makes all files read/write automatically)
5. Click OK on the next 2 messages which appear, don't change the selection and keep it as 'Unpack .ap overwriting all destination files if they exist' - This is the safest selection.

Note: The route .ap file is always named 'MainContent.ap' so you will probably have to check with a scenario pack name for the same route to work out which MainContent.ap applies to the route in question, they will all have the same route Hex address like 30f0de2f-465e-495d-ac2f-1786a9a4e82a which applies to the WCML-Trent Valley and all of its scenario packs - the Asset packs usually include the route name and in this case are in Assets\Thomson\WCMLTrentValley\WCMLTrentValleyAssets.ap.
