Missing Consists

[1996fan]

I just recently reinstalled SLI/TS Scenic Sub v2 and when I go to Open Rails and run an activity it shows that all of the consists are missing but if I go to TSRE all of the rolling stock appears. Will I have to edit all of the consists in order for the activities to work poperly?

Back up and try this again.

SLI made the Scenic Sub v2 for MSTS that came with activities.

SLI made a Scenic Sub v2 loco upgrade pack for the MSTS version that came with new activities (because the rolling stock had changed)

TS made the Scenic Sub Starter Route for Open Rails. There ended up being 4 versions of the Starter Route. This came with (yet again) a new slate of rolling stock (built for OR) and new activities.

So which are you referring to?

So are we supposed to guess which activity?

Also how do you know that the Consists are missing? Choose one of the below:
A. An error message said the consists are missing.
B. You looked in the folder C:\XXXX\\BNSF Starter Route\Trains and there is no Consists folder.
C. You looked in the folder C:\XXXX\\BNSF Starter Route\Trains\Consists and there is no Consist files.
D. You started the activity, there was no cabview and when you used the #2 view the were no loco(s) or cars present.
E. You opened the OR Menu, selected BNSF Starter Route, selected the Activity and then found that the items in the Consist selection box was greyed out.

If your answer is D, please attach your OR log txt file to your reply.

If your answer is E, understand that the Activity file controls which consist is used. To use a different consist in an activity, one must first edit the activity file. Selection of co nsist and loco is ONLY available when using the Explore mode.

He posted a month or so ago about another problem where he provided a log. PC looks current and competent, using 151 stable. But he was trying to run a Joliet-Fort Madison activity on an MSTS route located in the Trainsimulations OR route folder. He also had the LaSalle route burping looking for DDS scalerail textures. He managed to repair all that, but I dont think he walked away fully aware of minimum OR vs MSTS route segregation requirements. So who knows.

Another post mentions trying to get BNSF 1109 and 1123 working with a repaint, and both of those numbers were attributed to the MSTS version loco pack upgrade, either/or a late MSTS era Route + Amtrak Builder + Loco Upgrade bundle.

The version I have has the original activities plus the newer ones from the re-release. So, this would be the one from say around the early 2010s?

The log file will indicate what is missing.

[1996fan]

When I go and select the route and then want to select an activity to run, I am not able to launch it. For example, when I select activity 1 "What Goes Up..." under the locomotive category it says <missing: BNSF_ES44DC_7775>. I can provide a log if that will help. It just seems odd as I am able to use all the rolling stock in other consists.

Slipperman's MSTS_Actman from the file library, will find the problem there.

[1996fan]

Upon running the Actman using that scenario it appears that the locomotives are not loading correctly. I could not find a way to attach the report.

Here is a report for the activity

[geepster775]

The 7161 and 7828 should be 2-piece loco shapes that were part of the Scenic loco upgrade pack, so this activity is part of the revised set of consists/activities that came with that upgrade. Do those numbers actually exist inside the SLI.BNSF folder?

>Stock file not found - SLI.BNSF\BNSF_ES44DC_7775.eng

Check spelling for this one, its missing.

The original Scenic 2 had

969
1033
4823
4897
5726
5745
2117
2319
2345
6810
6951
7810
8087
9871
9980
9982

These were all 1-piece loco shapes and Flintstone wheels



Loco Upgrade added:

1109
1123
4870
4898
5817
5852
5858
7611
7775
7790
2264
2285
6821
7161
7184
7828
9871 (again)
9980 (again)
9982 (again)

All were 2-piece shapes (main shape + F/A). All activities were re-written to include these and exclude the originals. The activity re-write was pretty much quick and dirty. The text for (7. Rescue Me) still referenced the 6951 but the activity involved picking up dead 7184 and 7828

Yes those 2 locos appear in the SLI.BNSF folder

I've got all of the following motors plus the B40-8s from the original release. But what I find odd is that when I use TSRE to edit the consists that nothing saves, but when I go and edit consists for other activities for other routes they always save. Thats the part that's really confusing the crap out of me.
