README FOR:  SRVHous2 Megapack.

WARNING!!! Although I am generally using a route standard naming for .ace .s and .sd file. I am Not responsable if you accidently overwrite an existing .ace, .s, or .sd file and screw up your route. If in doubt, back up your textures and shapes file before installing. Other shapes using the SRV_ prefix from my submissions may share the same ace textures and will not be affected if they are overwritten.

Contents: 36 additional styles of houses. Requires textures from SRVBarn2.zip, SRVBarn3.zip, SRVBarn4.zip, SRV_Hous1, and SRVSnow1.zip All are designed around a set of standard textures. This will allow for the construction and use of additional structure megapacks without the problem of bogging down a route with a ton of custom textures.

New are additional painted colored siding and shutters on some designs. Some houses have brown shingle roofs. Houses are named according to size, style, or are modeled from actual houses in the area.

While no night textures are needed, many of the houses will feature lighted windows at night. They will be lit properly if used close to trackside by the train's headlight.

to install:
1: unzip to a temp folder.

2: go to folder where you unziped the files to and copy and paste the .s and .sd files from the Shapes folder to the Shapes folder of the route you wish to use them in. If you have installed some of the beta houses, they will be overwritten with improved replacements.

3: Copy the new textures from the Texture folder to your route Texture folder. If you don't have them, you will need textures from SRVBarn2.zip, SRVBarn3.zip, SRVBarn4.zip, SRV_Hous1.zip, and SRVSnow1.zip.

4: BACKUP the .REF file for the route (normaly ROUTE-NAME.ref  EG: marias.ref) to a safe place.

5: go to folder where you unziped the files to and open "SRVHous2.ref" with WORDPAD and copy and paste ALL THE TEXT from  SRVHous2.ref to the .ref file of the route REMEMBER TO SAVE IT AS "UNICODE TEXT".

The parts will be found in the "house" class.
