Missing Adelaide, Hills & SE assets

[stlsf4003]

So after installing Adelaide, Hills & SE and giving the route a once over, I found this.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]75503
A missing platform and this isn't the only station with this issue.

So is this a case of Open Rails not playing nice with an older route or is it a case of me missing something during the install?

I notice that a number of things are missing as well.
It is an older route, the checking utilities were not very good back then.

A lot of the routes built originally for MSTS were packed so that any MSTS default files were removed from the install file, and reinserted as part of the install process. This reduced the size of the install file.

Thus for complete installation the presence of MSTS is required. If MSTS is not present then the files cannot be copied into the installed folders.

So if you don't have MSTS installed, perhaps this could account for the missing files.

Here's the odd thing.

I managed to pick up the Default routes from a Friend (don't judge me) and yet the assets are still missing.

I guess i do need a full install of MSTS then.

Real sham as it looks like a real good route for it's age.

Hi stisf4003,
Contrary to the instructions with this route, it does NOT require the default MSTS routes to be present! Route_Riter has proved that nothing is missing from an installation, completed without any default routes. Note that the batch file, which runs as part of the installation, is used to copy various texture files into sub-folders within the route.

does it require anything from a base MSTS install for these assets to show up?

If not, I can safely say that I've hit a dead end on this one.

Hi stisf4003,
This route does NOT require anything from a default MSTS setup.
Route_Riter reports no missing shapes/textures, so there are no assets to show up!

What activity/location did you show in your screenshot? I can't see any location on the maps with a name starting "Kes...". I'll then check mine to see if it's the same as you have.

The missing platforms are at Keswick -33.17146 137.20299

In the Open Rails log you will find Warning: w+000862+010349.w scenery object 1449 with StaticFlags 00030DA4 references non-existent C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\Global\Shapes\AshphaltPlat20mStr.s

It's a explore activity and the station in question is Keswick Station on the Adelaide to Mt. Gambier routeing path.

I suggest that your install is corrupt!!

[stlsf4003]

is there a way to fix this or am i screwed?

[derekmorton]

Reinstall and see what happens

Hi stisf4003,
If your download is corrupt, you may need to re-download it. Did you originally download the single file, or the 8 file version?

Checking Keswick on mine shows the platforms, and there's no problem at Tailem Bend (your second screenshot).

I used the single installer.

If I might ask. What one did you use?
