Um....this is new.....

[cp5006]

Hey folks,

Hate to be bothersome. But I was enjoying the evening running a train. Well, Its like the earth opened up and swallowed all the grass.... haha.

Well, kinda. OR is not displaying the texture files, yet this very route works in the same area under MSTS. Is there a way for me to fix this on my end, as anything I read has to be in Route Geography extractor.

I did try to uncompress the .w files in the Route, but that didn't work. Any ideas?

I've also included what OR is telling me its missing, like its missing textures, but MSTS isn't picking that out....so confused. haha

Can't say for sure what problem you have but I've seen that condition before and in that case it was a problem in the \Tiles directory. Either a tile file missing, corrupted, or otherwise unavailable to be read. Do you have a backup of the route? Or can you download it again? I'd try restoring the contents of \Tiles and see if that solves the problem.

Maybe they have snow working. For just that one tile.

Not showing terrain when tiles have not been fully split is a known problem with the current version of Open Rails. In Route Geography Creator tiles can be fully split into 2km by 2km tiles. The size of tiles can be determined by their file name. Bits are added to the file name each time a tile is split. Fully split tiles start with a dash, -, and then have eight characters, for example -070626a8.t. A 4km by 4km tile starts with an underscore, _, and then have seven characters, for example _0706268.t.

Edit: This issue was discussed for the Monon route in post https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showth...ith-Open-Rails

Dave: I have tried reinstalling the route, and same results.

Eric: Its happened in several spots across the route, not just at this location.

Jeffery: Can I do the splits in RGE even though I'm not the original creator of the route?

Jeffery, I followed your steps as far as the DEMEX part. I downloaded and registered it, but now I'm in a completely new area. I've never dealt with DEMs. Could you provide further assistance? I'm not 100% sure where to look for the orginal DEM info.
I'm not the route's creator, so I'm wondering if thats a problem.

I would suggest some practice with DEMEX on a new route that you create before altering an existing route. The basic steps are create a new route, download the DEM from http://seamless.usgs.gov/ for the area of your new route, and then set the elevation of the tiles using DEMEX.

What is the route shown in your pictures?

[cp5006]

I figured as much. Thanks Jeffery. I guess I will head that direction. The Seamless sight dosen't have info for Canada do they?

As for the route, its the CN Vegreville/Blackfoot sub v2 from the library.
Thanks for your help.

A source for Canadian data is GeoBase at http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/data/cded/index.html
