[smarty2]

As the title says.... its in an ap file but there isn't the description just hex numbers! Be obliged if someone would kindly tell me?

Cheers Dave. Thats what I mean.

...have thought a few times that it might be useful to have a thread or sticky with all these in so if you want to know one you can just go into the thread/list and a 'translation' will be there.

Great idea, mods?

Given that all users have NameMyRoute by default, and quite a lot of users have RW-Tools, it seems rather excessive to go down this path. Especially when it's impossible at the moment to edit a post more than an hour after it was created ...

Both NameMyRoute and RW Tools can't "see" inside an .ap package though.

Both NameMyRoute and RW Tools can't "see" inside an .ap package though.

But they both can after you have extracted just the RouteProperties.xml from the .ap files, which RW Tools will do for you.

Which doesn't tell you on some routes the description like WCMLOS, there are just hex numbers!
I know, I have RWTools, if it did I wouldn't have asked the question.

Excuse my thick head, but it has taken me about a week to figure out what WCMLOS meant and for others as thick as me, if there are any, it means West Coast Main Line Over Shap, don't know what the Shap means though. Yes and I have the route.

[gptech]

'Shap' is the name of the big hill the line climbs up Trev.

A similar thread is running on the Steam forum, and I have posted the foillowing tip (it has been ignored, as I am sure it will be here as well!!)

Tip (works well for me!): In the Content>Routes folder, copy a duplicate of the folder for each route, leave it EMPTY, and rename it the same route number but adding the route name at the end.

The routes will all show as pairs, the lower one showing the route name.

e.g.

00000001-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
00000001-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 - Great Western Mainline
888f94a0-027c-4991-ab4f-08ad1dd5072f
888f94a0-027c-4991-ab4f-08ad1dd5072f - Bristol to Exeter

Yes Chris, but in order to add the route's name to a folder you have to know the name---how to initially find that's the question being asked.

Yes Chris, but in order to add the route's name to a folder you have to know the name---how to initially find that's the question being asked.

You can open the RouteProperties.xml file using a text editor like Context, and read the route name there - try line 14.

For routes archived in a MainContent.ap file, you can open the archive with 7Zip without extracting anything, and if you have associated the .xml file extension with a text editor double clicking on the RouteProperties.xml will open it for you to read the route name.

[gptech]

Yes Alan, but what about those who dion't have RW Tools or who are reluctant to open .ap archives?
You're also missing the original question of how to identify which folder said file lives in initially.
