SC4Path files define where the game's automata (Sims, vehicles and trains) travel on transit networks. These files are associated with a corresponding gridsquare containing a transit network by a file ending in the same instance ID (IID) as that of the particular network piece involved. An ortho section of road, for instance, which ends in IID 0x00004b00 has a matching SC4Path file ending in that same IID. For puzzle pieces, the SC4Path file ends in the same IID as the corresponding S3D file in the piece.

Path File Sections
Header
The header specifies the path "version", the number of paths contained within, and the number of StopPaths. Here is a sample header:
SC4PATHS
1.1 -Version Number (1.0, 1.1 or 1.2)
4 -Number of Paths
0 -Number of StopPaths
0 -3D Key
Path Stanzas
StopPaths
=Troubleshooting with the DrawPaths Cheat
If a path file is not included for a transit network it will cause the game to lag when dragging the network, this can be avoided by using a path file which contains no paths, but still has a header.
