Hi Jdark34,
That is a strange post! Do you mean that you're have some problems?
common.cab and common.snd, together with other common.* folders, have been an integral part of MSTS and Open Rails for many years!
If you are having problems, I, respectfully, suggest that the problem may be how you are using them.
Giving us a specific example of the trouble you're having will help us point you in the right direction!

Cheers,
Ged

I think he is offering help to anyone who has trouble with those folders. Yes, it is a head scratching topic to start out of the blue

Hi Jdark34,
Sorry, but, in that case, I really can't see the point of this thread!
If anybody did have problems with the common.* folders they would, surely, report on one of the MSTS or Open Rails Forums then one of us would respond.

I'm being a bit cheeky here, but may I suggest my utility MSTS_Check (file ID 85979) to check for validity of sound and cabview files called from .eng and .wag files; also, my utility sms_Checker (file ID 87505) which, specifically, checks .sms files.

Cheers,
Ged

I have to agree.
I understand the desire want to help, but I haven't seen a rash of posts about users having problems with common* folders.
Granted a new user who downloads and a eng or wag which refers to a common* folder might not understand, as they have yet to download anything that would make one, and so can't find them or understand how they work. One would then expect they would make a post requesting help. ( Hopefully in the correct section be it MSTS or OR ).

That is great that you are trying to help, but nobody was asking for help at this time.
