How to fix a bug with a route file and such?

[Komachi]

An Open Rails log is better in a zip. It avoids having to scroll through long posts, and can be downloaded then referred to later without having to go back to a web site. A txt file while being as useful is a bit on the large side for most web sites like this one.

You just need to download the zip, the text file is in it, Baldwin. The log itself for that crash was so big it exceeded the forum's size limit for a text file.

I have the same problem with D&SL Moffat Road route (a wonderful one, BTW).
If you have DM checked in OR Settings, this means (by my opinion) that OR uses LO_TILES. So, I've done some experiments and found that at least two of LO_TILES are faulty (or: contain some suspect data). These are: _02555b and _02555e.
If you remove files _02555b*.* and _02555e*.* from your LO_TILES subfolder, you'll be able to drive from Glenn Springs to Denver (via tunnel) without crash.

... and an addendum to my previous post: I have successfully repaired these two bad lo_tiles this way: Using Mike Simpson's Route Riter, I have decompressed the .t files, removed (deleted) the whole line beginning with "terrain_water_height_offset", saved and compressed back. I moved the repaired .t files along with their "raw" files back to the route's LO_TILES folder. After I did this, OR no more crashes.
I hope this may help anybody else.

Mirekkr, I'll try that when I can and see how it works! If it works? Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I cannot get RR to run, it keeps giving me errors and crashing... Can you by chance send me those .t files?

Heya Otto. No matter waht I do, RR tells me first when I start it: An error No. 75 Path/File access error occurred while loading the main Route_Riter screen. Check Reports/Startup.log for possible errors.

Then whenever I click on ANYTHING, even hit the ALT key in the main menu of RR, it tells me: Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range

Then crashes to desktop after I hit ok.

Has Microsoft Train Simulator been installed on the computer you are running Route Riter? Route Riter needs some of the registry keys from Train Simulator. Export the keys and then import them to see if that resolves the error.

The keys to export start at Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Mic rosoft Games\Train Simulator

To Komachi:
Enclosed are the two .T files. Hope this will help you.

There is a thread entitled
Route Riter error No.75 start date 8-8-2010 which gives a cure for that one

I just removed the two files and stored them away to play with them later. I have been able to run without any problems. I haven't noticed anything missing and so far, no crashes.

Thanks for finding this.

Huh, that seems to work, thank Burger.

Also the modified .T seem to work FANTASTICALLY! Thank you a BUNCH!
