BVE 5 Tutorial: How to change trains between Scenarios

Hello guys, today i will show you how to change the trains in BVE 5 scenarios. So to start off i'll talk about the changes in BVE 5 regarding trains. So in BVE 5 there is no drop down menu when you want to start off a scenario.

Compare the Openbve Route selection menu to the BVE 5 Scenario menu.




Now the difference is obvious On BVE 5 there is no drop down menu. You have to select the route as-is.

Now that you Know BVE 5's major change lets start off the tutorial.

So to start off, here is the Scenario text file that comes with Mackoys package route "Keisei Chiba Line".


Okay now on this "txt" file there are 8 sections of text.

Title 
The given title for the Scenario
Author 
The author for the Scenario (Mackoy Minatono)
Route 
The route name (Keisei Chiba Line)
RouteTitle
Usually a specific route, For example Hanzoumon Line B1367S
Vehicle 
The type of Vehicle being driven (Keisei 3500)
VehicleTitle
Same as the "Vehicle"

Comment 
Usually author comments or acknowledgements for other Devs

Okay now that you have familiarized yourself with the Scenario "Txt" file structure i'll show you how to change the Train.

First off look for the "Vehicle" text section


Delete the all the text for the "Vehicle and Vehicle title text lines"



Now replace both text lines with the desired train and destination folder titles. In my case i will use the Tokyo Metro 7000 series.



So i replaced the two text lines with the source folder and the train name.

Here is what i wrote if you can't see it.

Vehicle= Segtor\tokyometro7000f\Vehicle.txt
Vehicletitle= tokyometro7000f

The "Segtor" is the source folder and the trains title is "tokyometro7000f". The "txt." is the text file for the train. Most train text files will have a different designation.

Example

Vehicle= Kazuma\209-2100\Vehicle_4M2T.txt

Be careful train text designations can be different and sometimes you might accidentally put the "Readme" text instead of the Train text.
