LH&R Broken Paths

[dkingsburg]

When I try to Start an Activity on My L&HR Route I Get a Popup Message Stating: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. and the Activity Stops Loading. What does it Mean?

Usually something wrong with the player part of the activity, ---- I say usually --- because it can be something else. That's as specific as the message will get.

Questions: What is the activity? Where is it available? --- for those who wish to help. ...and attaching complete log can provide clues to those who are more adept at using the log than you or I.

It's a Set of Activities for NYS&W Trains on the L&HR. MSTS Modern L&HR Activities. CSX Q-156. I'm Running it on L&HR V4. File ID # 68293, lhrma.zip.

It could mean nearly anything. Without seeing the rest of the error, it will be impossible to say for sure what's causing it.

I am once again invoking the writ of Habeas Logus

I'm Running it on L&HR V4. File ID # 68293, lhrma.zip.

Thanks Dave, found them and installing Q-156, will post later tonight or tomorrow.

If you want help, you need to attach the log file.

openrailslog.txt on your desktop.

Dave, did a quick substitution of rolling stock to complete consists and loose consists in activity....got the same result as you....examine the player path next.

...and as I posted in the beginning....it is more than likely the player path. This in the log....so as Derek Advises....always post the log, Please!

I Did Some Trial & Error with the 5 Consists. They Won't Load in V4.0 but will Load and Work in L&HR 1940's. So It Might Have Something to do with the Track Nodes. The Activities We're Done in 2006 Before V4.0 was Released.

Funny thing, the activity Route ID matches what I have for the 1968 version 4.0, but the paths are indeed ALL MESSED UP....but I fixed them, trying to approximate where they should go. A zip of the two paths are attached, you can try them out in the 1968 version.

Gerry,
It Worked, Now Q-159 and SU-100 Both Run on my 1968 V4.0 Route. However Q-271 & SU-99 Still won't Load on my 1968 V4.0, but they Will Load & Run on my 1940's L&HR.

The Other Activity that is Causing A Problem is 1962 Dock Strike, zds1962.zip. Released 2007-05-24.

David, you will need to use the OR TrackViewer to look at the various paths for broken nodes, enable path editing and use repair all broken nodes. Some nodes may not repair, then you will have to edit the paths to fix them.

[dkingsburg]

Gerry,
That's Easier Said than Done. I Know Nothing About How to Use Track Viewer to Do What Has to be Done.
DaveK

[dkingsburg]

GERRY,
I Opened OR Track Viewer, Located the Route and the Path. Now I Just Have to Figure Out How to Locate and Repair Broken Nodes.
