Users from all over the world have created hundreds of routes, objects, trains, and sounds for BVE.
BVE may only be obtained from Mr. Mackoy's web site: http://mackoy.cool.ne.jp
Mr. Mackoy does not allow re-distribution.
Other utilities may be downloaded, including:
There are also these utilities, which have not been translated yet into English:
The following web sites are excellent resources for new content:
Routes are written in a format called CSV (a variant of the data format), or in the older RW format. Routes must include the appropriate object files, a default train to run, and may include additional sound files played along the route.
Objects in routes are written either in CSV or in the older B3D format. Objects without simple RGB colours use bitmap files instead, and they must be included.
Trains may be either drivers' view or passengers' view. Both consist of large text files with the train characteristics and physics, a series of bitmaps files for the panels or surroundings as well as what a picture of the train itself, and sound files. BVE sound files include: door opening, door closing, clearance to depart, engine sounds, brake application, emergency brake application, running sounds, short horn, long horn, bell, and drivers' vigilance device.
Sounds are simply WAVWAV (or WAVE , short for WAVEform audio format, is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing audio on PCs. It is a variant of the RIFF bitstream format method for storing data in "chunks", and thus also close to the IFF and the AIFF forma files.
While routes for BVE have traditionally been hand-coded due to the lack of an editor, many routes today are made using RouteBuilder (see above link).
BVE supports all types of train operation (manual, ATO , etc.) but does not simulate moving objects. Therefore, one will see a static train on an opposite track. BVE also does not currently support flashing signals.
One important thing to note is that due to different character encoding between Asian and Western systems, Asian routes take much repair to work on Western systems, unless the author has made a western version.
