sound files wont work.

[timm40]

hello,i got the new sound file and went to install it and when i pasted it in the engine file for both spots where sound is at and when i went to close it out,it asked me to save it and when i did,it said it was denied,it wouldnt change it to the new sound.

[MC6853]

So basically it wouldn't let you save the modified ENG file?

>>MC

[timm40]

that is correct.

[MC6853]

What engine are you using, and what are you using to edit the ENG?

>>MC

[timm40]

i decided to,since i dont have any of those engines,i was going to change the sound in the default dash9 to the sound set and it denied it,any engine i tried,it denied it.and i used note pad to open the engine file.

Is the .eng file compressed in anyway? What OS are you using?

[timm40]

windows vista.

[MC6853]

Clearly a problem with either the engine you're using or your settings on your computer, and not a problem with my sounds... I'll leave the topic open in case anyone can help you...

[timm40]

i didnt mean to say it was forsure your sounds,im just confused,but what kind of settings on my computer would stop me from editing the sounds in the engine file.

I had this problem too with Vista. You have to turn "User Account Control" off. I believe this can be done in the control panel.

[timm40]

thank you cpman,ill do that right now.

i have tried everything and it keeps coming up saying that do the mod on the eng file is denied,so im very confused.

[timm40]

if anyone can help me with this,this is what im getting when i try to change the eng file for the new sound


Cannot create the C:\ Program Files\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\TRAINS\TRAINSET\DASH9\dash9.eng file

Make sure that the path and file name are correct.

this is what im dealing with and i dont know whats wrong,as i was able to use the sound files awhile back and now they wont work for me.
any help will be a great help.
thank you.

I use Vista. I just copy the .eng files over to my desktop..make the changes there, then cut/paste them back to the proper spot.

[The Borg]

you gotta set your MSTS folder to run under Win XP compatible and run as Admin so you edit anything you want in your MSTS. Make sure you are the admin of your whole PC with VIsta. That's the M$ beauty!

[timm40]

i still cant get anything to work,it keeps saying it cant go to the direct path and save it,so im confused and upset.

Try using my method and see if it works or not. I tried doing what the Borg said to do the first time I had that problem, and it never worked, because for some reason, vista seemed to reset the new settings.

[timm40]

i dont know what happened,but the last guy who sent me some advise.i went back in and checked it again and then went back in and tried it again and i had to save my file to the desktop then put it in the game and for some reason it worked,so to all that have helped me,i say Thank You Very Much for all the help and lets hope i have it all fixed now.

thanks all.
