Horse Shoe Curve

[rrroberttt]

To the ORTS team:

I just ran the new route Horse Shoe Curve in ORTS V0.6.1.677, and, for the first time with ORTS, I got an out of memory error. The route ran nicely for the time that it ran, approximately 18 minutes. Maybe the team might want to take an look at this.

Please zip up the complete OR log file and attach to this thread. It contains vital information to assist in debugging this issue.

Once there's a lull in download activity, we will add it to the routes on which we do testing.

I am aware of certain memory leaks OR has while running along routes, especially those with a lot of custom scenery, so that's probably "all" that's going wrong here. There are (unsurprisingly) plans to improve the situation.

A while back it was reported that OR crashed when users loaded the PRR-ER. It could be that there is a limit to the size that a route will have under OR (I am guessing). The design team of the PRR-ER have not had this problem with the PRR-ER when using it with MSTS, although some have reported memory issues with low end machines. We have heard that there has been testing of the PRR-ER with OR and the results are encouraging.

I'm having some sort of issue with an NS consist and the Pittsburgh Line. I wasn't sure how to decipher the problem. I've attached the log below.

Thanks for attaching the full OR log file. The problem is at the end of the file: "Signal type jjhprrpl3light1 has invalid light texture Ltex2". The PRR_ER team will need to help decipher. OR is certainly less tolerant of missing textures or other issues than MSTS.

This is Austin Yoder's Horseshoe route, not the PRR Eastern Region.

I believe Jovet was one of the folks who worked on signalling. Perhaps he could be contacted.

Nick is correct; Yoder's route was signaled using Jovet's signals; all sigs on the PRR-ER were designed by Signalmaster.

That error message is a bit crass. "Ltex2" should be a valid texture alias...as the texture is defined as "LTex2". Capitalization shouldn't matter--MSTS has enough of those problems that OR doesn't need to perpetuate or invent more!

To get around it, simply open the sigcfg.dat file and do a case-sensitive Search and Replace to change Ltex2 into LTex2.

Having changed the case as Joseph suggested, I am now getting a tile error. I've attached the log below.

One thing you might check in sigcfg.dat is
runactivity.exe : Warning : 0 : Unknown SignalSubObj flag DEFALUT in STF C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\ROUTES\Horseshoe\sigcfg.dat

Shouldn't that be DEFAULT ?

also, runactivity.exe : Error : 0 : Signal type vl_switchstand has invalid light texture Ltex.

I changed all of my Ltex* to LTex*
