Hi Trainzers,
It is with great pleasure that I announce the development of Trainz Protocol Changer: Second Edition.
For those who are wondering why I've done this rather than updating the existing version, it's due to an issue on the older system that held the older version source files.
It has been redesigned quite a bit from the previous edition, and will support all Windows versions of Trainz from TRS2006 to T:ANE. At some point, I will be extending it to also cover TRS2004 and Ultimate Trainz Collection and possibly Trainz 1.3 if I can find someone who has that version when I come to do the updates.
I'm hoping to be able to release it over the next couple of days providing the internal testing I'm doing passes (which I'm doing at each stage). Be aware that the tool will need to be run as administrator to access and change certain registry keys.
If anyone wants to try a beta version of the tool, send me a private message and I can then sort out a link to it. Be aware though that at this stage there are parts that are not yet complete (at the moment, it can successfully set up the association for Download Helper links but cannot currently set associations for CDP/CDP2 or CMPA files, however I am working on this during the next stage).
32-bit Windows users
Be aware that the automatic detection process for versions older than T:ANE may not work on your version due to differences in the registry location for certain keys. However, there is a manual method available.
Users who have copied over their Trainz install from elsewhere
Due to the way that the automatic detection works for versions older than T:ANE, the tool may not pick up your version. Use the manual method to specify where you've copied it to.
Norton users
Due to an ongoing issue with Norton, users who use Norton may have problems downloading and using the tool.
If anyone has any comments/questions regarding the development of the tool, please post a reply.

EDIT: As the full version is now available I'm no longer going to be uploading the test version.
