My gsl problems

When I uploaded my gls_st_pauls and gsl_cfs2_towerbridge I uploaded a St-Pauls.GSL although I did not upload a Towerbridge.GSL when I just tried to add my St-Pauls.GSL and my Towerbridge.GSL with GSLMan to a new install they keep on overwriting each other.
Have I made a naming convention mistake.
I can add both using Mission builder scenery editor.
Can someone help with this so I dont keep making mistakes and uploading problems to other users.
Many thanks
Robert John.

Hiya Robert John,

If TowerBridge.gsl and St_Pauls.gsl are in the same GOB the second gsl loaded will overwrite the first- using GSLMan. I'm not sure I understand just what it is you are doing. Two gsls? One each with a single scenery object apiece?? Do you have the the GSL developer pack available on request from Martin Wright? When you say the Misson Builder scenery editor you mean the MB GSL Editor, yes- or no?

If yes, then correct- using the MB GSL editor you can add objects and layouts into the same gob til your hearts content and they will not overwrite each other.

Either distribute a layout file containing both the Towerbridge and St Pauls that other users can add via the MB GSL Editir. Or else get Martin's GSL Developer pack with its accompanying tutorial- which explains at the very beginning the very problem you are having. It includes three tools: GOBCheck- which checks the number of gobs in your MB layout file and automatically splits it into as many single gob layouts as necessary; GSLEdit (not to be confused with the built in MB GSL Editor) which allows you to insert MB layout files into the GSL- and lots of other cool stuff, too, all explained in the tutorial; and GSLManager- which is the tool you distribute with your gsl scenery so that the end user can add your gsl scenery.
