ORTS Error

[OTTODAD]

Trying to test the smoke of a Dash-9 in ORTS I get the attached error running it in my Gold-Spike-X's Explore Route mode.

No problem running it in MSTS.

I'd run it through Route Riter or similar, it looks like there may be a mismatched bracket or duplicate IDs in TSection.dat.

Route Riter found nothing and there never have been problems running MSTS for years and none with ORTS until now.

Recently had to re-organize MSTS after sudden problems with the MAIN and some of it's MINI copies and most of it's copies now do not work in ORTS except a few like the PRR showing Dash-9 smoke below, but all of them work in MSTS.

The Protrain MINI running in ORTS I have reported in another thread here also does not work now and can not be bothered to find out why not.

That the smoke being emitted from more than one loco alternates between them has already been reported.

You need to work out what has changed, then - I'm fairly sure the issue is with TSection.dat. At least do a manual inspection around line 114704 (which I suspect is near/at the end). Replace it with the latest version or try older versions - like the versions that exist in the working minis.

My 38B Tsection.dat has been modified last 23.Feb.09 and a UltraEdit32 () brackets count shows matching 95430, not causing any problems in any of my MSTS copies !

The 4 moded Protrain MSTS routes which worked before in ORTS were using the default Tsection.dat when I tested it in ORTS earlier and has since been updated with MSTSBin 1.8.05 and the 38B Tsection.dat, still working in MSTSBin !

Will experiment some more when I am in the right mood !

This problem is fixed in the current development build.

Had one more go to get to the bottom of why ORTS does not run all my reorganized copies of MSTSBin 1.8.05, all having the same default folders and files, but have not all of what is in the MSTS Trains folders.

Downloaded and installed ORTS 6.1.677 after deleting the existing copy.

Downloaded the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and had it Repair the installed one.

Tested all MSTSBin copies and nothing has changed, only 2 of them working O.K. in ORTS, yet all work in MSTS !

Error log file attached.

Moved just the Gold-Spike route folder into the PRR MINI and it worked in ORTS but adding Protrain did not.

So what is in the MAIN MSTS and some of the MINI folders ORTS does not like ?

I give up !
