 Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2010 12:59 am Post subject: How do I install activities from here to my MSTS ??? |
 |
|
| I have downloaded all the GN activities from this site to my computer and tried to put the activities into my Activities folder under my Great Northern Hi-Line route. They are in there, but are not ACT files, something about Game Spy. I tried to run the simulation and the activities do not show up for the GN Hi-Line. What do I need to do to install these files correctly ??? Thanks, Rocky |

| Thought I'd bump this one up again. I've tried clicking on the icons after moving them to the activities under the GN Hi-Line route and I get an error message saying it is corrupted or my disc is full(which it is not). I tried the properties on the files and it says that they open with "Aphid" Is there something else I need to get to open the files ??? I have downloaded the freeware as per instuctions in the read me document. So what do I need to do ??? I DID buy all of the GN payware sets, so that is not an issue. Thanks, Rocky |

Hi Rocky...
The activities from BLW for the GN-High Line are packed in *.apk files.
You just need double clicking the .apk file to unpack the activities after installing trainset and route where need to play the act. But there is a bug of msts. You need to patch your MSTS folder. You found the tsunpackfix here: http://www.activitysimulatorworld.net/Les_utilitaires/TSUnpack-Fix..htm . Just download and install the patch. After that you can install *.akp activity packages by doubleclick. I hope it help.... |

Hi Rocky,
There is another approach I have used with .apk files that's a little odd, but seems to work. I changed the suffix to something else (I think I used .ton).
Then, when I click on it, it asks for the program needed to run a ".ton" file. I choose the 'browse' option, then browse to 'TSUNPACK.exe' in the MSTS Utils directory.
I don't know why, but it works.
Rick

Hi Rick,
Yep, that worked  Thanks again !!!!
Now I did see that some of the activities wanted to be run on Hi Line Ver 4 and some on Ver. 3. I went ahead and went from Ver. 3 to Ver. 4 and a bunch of stuff was all screwed up So I reloaded Ver. 3 again and the game works. I hope the other activities that want Ver. 4 will run, but we'll have to see when I get all the other freeware cars unzipped and into the trainset folder. I'm crossing my fingers  Rocky |
