Can't view the details of locomotives

I've encountered a problem while starting my first experimental game. I can't view the details of the locomotives. It just shows up LOCO_INFO_TXT.

The screenshot: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Fq1QHwBShk/Td_HLNNKkjI/AAAAAAAAAkI/FxTSGBl72Ak/s1600/Simutran-bug.png
- by the way, the screenshot is from pak 128 - standard. I didn't know about the experimental pak until I did some searching.
- I loaded up the pak 128 Britain-experimental and tried again. The LOCO_INFO_TXT still shows up.


Some background:

- I used the windows installer for simutrans standard. It installs into my program files nicely with pak 128.
- Then I downloaded the windows zip file for simutrans experimental. I unzip the archive on my desktop and copied the files into the simutrans program files. (Main reason: It doesn't allow me to unzip it in the simutrans folder in program files)
- I downloaded the pak 128 Britain for experimental and copied the files into the simutrans folder.


Any idea where I have gone wrong?

Kikora,

welcome to Simutrans! The problem that you have is that you have not downloaded the text files. See here for details.

Sorry. But could you point me the right direction? So, would it be under the section Configuration files or Program files (Makeobj)?

I do not fully understand what the post is talking about. :p


Thank you! :D

Ok, I finally figured it out. I downloaded the config and text files and copy it to a simutrans-experimental folder. Then I copy all the files from the simutrans folder to the simutrans-experimental folder.


Thanks for your help! :D Cheers!
