How is this fixable?

[eric]

Can you zip up the world file it is choking on?

I'd rather not download 152Mb just to see what's probably wrong with one file.

[Komachi]

No prob, here ya are.

[eric]

Somewhat simple fix... there's an imbalance between the VdbId count that's declared, and what's actually in the file...

It says there is ( 1 ), but I don't see where one exists...

The complication is that your .W files are compressed. If you know how to uncompress the .W file, do so, and remove the VdbId line.

[Komachi]

I can't get the zipper util or even Routeriter to uncompress the dang file... Guess I'm S-O-L...

[eric]

You can invoke FFEditC_Unicode.exe directly as I did...

1) create a subdirectory in your WORLD file called OUT
2) replacing my MSTS path with your particular installation and the path where your FFEdit directory are located, do the following command:

e:\MSTS\Utils\FFEdit\ffeditc_unicode.exe "w-006108+015067.w" /o:OUT\.w

You may need to run that for multiple files with the same problem continues to manifest itself.

[Komachi]

I'll try that, thanks. Also sorry it took so long to get back to ya Eolesen, stupid forum never showed the 'New posts!" color for the OR forum. Been having issues like that lately. Ah well.

[Komachi]

I can't seem to get it to work.. Can you give a better step by step on that? It says the command isn't valid in the DOS window, and if I try entering the line into my Target location in the right click+properties, it just errors there too.

Edit: I went the logn way around and used the tempdp.s and renamed the format and stuff to that, then changed the format and stuff back. However, then it just reads:

SIMISA@@@@@@@@@@JINX0w0t______

Tr_Worldfile (
VDbIdCount ( 1 )
)


So basically...we got a useless world file, but if I am not mistaken, if I remove the VDbIdCount line, then, the whole route still won't work..right?

[eric]

The VdbId line in an empty W file is *why* the route won't work in ORTS. It's an illogical situation... there shouldn't be a count of (1) if there isn't a corresponding Vdb somewhere in the file...

Just delete the line. Having a file with just "Tr_Worldfile ( )" in it is perfectly acceptable. You could also probably get away with deleting the file entirely, since there's nothing there...

Also, unless you're planning to redistribute, leaving the .W files in their uncompressed format is perfectly acceptable.

[Komachi]

Getting rid of the first two world files (Which had the same problem in both of them) fixed it. THANKS Eolesen!!!

The problem OR is having with this world file is more complicated than simply it listing 1 VDbId and then having none. That isn't actually the problem at all. The file is actually corrupt, as best I can tell, and contains a block that claims its size is greater than the whole file. We should harden up OR against this but I believe just uncompressing and recompressing the file will give you a working world file in OR.
