Question regarding to an installation instruction for a file

[TrainGuy17]

So, I am trying to follow this installation instructions for one of the Global Replacement Shapes that I downloaded off from here which is the ATracks and I am a bit confused on what the 1st step is saying about backing up my global/shapes directory. I have two shapes directory folder. One that's within the Global folder and the other that's just within the main folder I created that contains global, routes, shapes, sounds, and trains. Therefore, am I right clicking the shapes folder within the global folder or the one that's in the main folder I created? And am I sending that shapes folder as a compressed file and naming it GlobalBackup.zip? And just leaving it there just incase? Or maybe I need to make a folder calling it GlobalBackup and compress the shapes from either the main folder I created or within the global and the global folder, all into the GlobalBackup folder?

And does the route in step 3 refer to the textures folder? Because in the texture folder, I do see that I have some acleantracks1 and 2 and come concretes

I don't know, I'm confused on this step. Any advice on this would help!

An MSTS/ORTS install DOES NOT have a Shapes folder under the Main folder. There are Shapes folders under the Global folder and one under each Routes subfolders.

Okay, well I mean yeah it doesn't have that but from the manual I read, I had to create like a separate directory folder or something to create the main files such as Global, Routes, Textures, Trains and whatever the others were.

But in that case then, so according to the installation, I just compress the shapes that's under the Global folder I'm assuming and I'm naming it as a Globalbackup.zip or creating a folder called Globalbackup and move the shapes I compressed to that?

Either would work fine. Don't rename your existing Global\Shapes folder, because you will likely have other items like Newroads, Scalerail, etc. that need to remain where they are.

Ah, okay I see. Yeah true because I actually do have some of those that are already in my textures folder
