No sounds on new loco.

[JSMR]

So I'm trying to get the Texas and Pacific v1.0 package working. Oh my gosh. Exhausting.
So I downloaded a free FBL set of F7 units.
However they dont show when I load up the T&P profile. Some other F-unit (blue colour if that helps) loads but theres no sound.

I dont even know where to go from here. At all.

All of these have been downloaded but where they go is another thing.

****REQUIRED FILES****

Open Rails Sounds--NAVS Core Locomotive Sounds (NAVSCF10.ZIP / File ID 84168 )
Open Rails Sounds--EMD 567 U,V,A,B,AC,BC,C,D v1.2 (navs_567r_v1_2.zip / File ID 85118 )
MSTS EMD F Series Cab With Night Views (emdfcab.zip / File ID 76401)

Actually have the same issue with the Serving Local Industries 1.03 that's linked with the Donner12 package. It loads an engine but there's no sound at all. It says its linked to a default engine sound but who knows how to check it.

The OpenRailsLog.txt file that normally gets saved to the desktop should log which files Open Rails could not find, and the path where it expected to find them in.

Also search the forum for the word 'alias' and you should find posts on how to alias sound sets and cab views. You will often end up having to do this for downloaded rolling stock. The documentation that comes with downloads should also be read as often they have a list of cab and sound dependencies and hopefully how to implement them.

Sadly I've discovered the documentation is pretty poorly written. Extremely confusing.

Open Rails Sounds--NAVS Core Locomotive Sounds (NAVSCF10.ZIP / File ID 84168 )

From the Readme File "To install these sounds, simply unzip the NAVS_COMMON folder to your Open Rails TRAINSET folder."
This means it should be "../../TRAINS/TRAINSET/NAVS_COMMON"

Open Rails Sounds--EMD 567 U,V,A,B,AC,BC,C,D v1.2 (navs_567r_v1_2.zip / File ID 85118 )

From the Readme File "To install, unzip all contents to the "TRAINSET" folder (select "yes" when prompted to merge folders)."
Again, this means it should be "../../TRAINS/TRAINSET/NAVS_COMMON"

MSTS EMD F Series Cab With Night Views (emdfcab.zip / File ID 76401)

From the Readme File "1) After unzipping, copy the 'CABVIEW' folder to your clipboard. Find the folder which contains the engines you wish to change. Delete the old CABVIEW folder, then paste the new CABVIEW folder. Lastly, go to the *.eng file and find this line: CabView ( GP7.cvf ) Change to either CabView ( EMD_F7.cvf ) or CabView ( EMD_F7CS )

***For those who understand how 'Aliasing' works, here is another option:

2) After unzipping, drop the 'CABVIEW_EMD_FSeries' folder & its contents into your 'Common.Cab' folder. You can then Copy and Paste the *.cvf files found in the Alias folder into any existing CABVIEW folder."

This gives you two options, you can easily place them into your locomotive folder under the "CABVIEW" folder that is in that locomotive folder, or, you can simply have it set up in a "Common.Cab" folder in your "../../TRAINS/TRAINSET/COMMON.CAB" location.

Ah perfect! I had taken all the contents out of the folders and placed them everywhere. Inside the train sound folder. All over the place.
It has a cabview already so I don't really know what that last one is for so I didn't do it.
