DB-Tracks for ORTS Routes

[OTTODAD]

Have stopped working on this idea, there being too many problems achieving it and compromises having to be made I am not happy with.

Jim Ward asking the question whether ORTS needs MSTS *.exes, it's root folder and other files made me curious and tested it.

Otto,
Open Rails is an entire new game engine that doesn't require MSTS exec or MSTS BIN. Open Rails provides real-time 3D rendering capabilities for MSTS compatible content - routes, trains, activities, etc. Open Rails requires the four major MSTS folders, either in a typical MSTS installation or stand alone. These folders are: Global, Routes, Sound, Trains, and any add-on folders like X-Tracks. At the present time, it is recommended (but not necessary) that users have a working copy of MSTS as many Routes and other content rely on the default files within MSTS.

The vision is Open Rails will become a full fledged game engine with the necessary development tools such as World Editor and Content Editors in the future.

Need to stick that thing in a ZIP file, worst trouble with WinRar is it don't have builtin CRC Checksum like WinZip does.
