Log file check please?

[pcohen]

Good Morning everybody.

This Morning I have completed the Activity "The Twins to Sheffield"
for the Thames-Trent V3 route.

I am only posting this Log File because I don't understand what to look for when checking for missing Rolling Stock.

I am hoping please, that somebody will check It for me before I save It to my External Hard Drive for future use.

Many thanks

Hi Paul
No missing stock that I can see there, but you do have a couple of sound sets missing, UKTS 2807 and UKTS 3290, swb stock and bogie coach sounds.

Hi Paul,
There's no missing stock reported in your log, BUT ...
All the .wag files in the Stanier_Ex_LMS_Maroon and Stanier_Ex_LMS_CC folders have an error on their line 51 : Replace 2.45/m/s with 0 (zero) - I have based this on the contents of other carriage files..
You are missing some sound files : Install UKTS_2807 (carriage sounds) and UKTS_3290 (wagon sounds). These will install into the main SOUND folder, NOT the route's SOUND folder provided you point the installer to the installation's root folder - in your case, this will be C:\1MSTS.

Cheers,
Ged

EDIT : Thanks Mervyn, you beat me to it!!

Hi Ged & Mervyn thank you both for your replies.

My Idea is to Reinstall each Route after the main MSTS and then Increasing the trainset after each additional Routes has been added. Hope this makes sense.

Ideally, I would like to Install each route , as a Mini_Route after the main MSTS Installation + the Default Routes, with their own Rolling stock. But having tried this before with
Disastrous results gave It up as a bad Job. I have currently !0 Routes of my own Installed plus the Default Routes and Stock.

Not sure whether Open Ralls accepts Mini Routes or not but If so does the main MSTS, Default Routes + Rolling Stock have to be in Every Mini Route, and would these still be In
C:\1MSTS or would they have to be Shortcut Icons.

Wish there was an Idiot-proof Tutorial for this.

Once again I hope this lot makes some sort of sense.

Many thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul
If you go to https://www.openrails.org/learn/documents/ you can access the Open Rails manual online. Sections 4 and 5 should cover all you need to know about mini installs and the relationship between Open Rails and MSTS. In a nutshell, you do not need MSTS to be present in any mini installs for Open Rails to run, but you do need it while installing many of the older routes. but only for the routes Install.bat file to run properly. After that the route can be moved into a mini install. I currently have 62 of those and one even has 14 routes in it.

Hi Mervyn, thanks again. bet I'm opening a can of worms.

But will certainly have a try.

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul,
I agree completely with Mervyn's comments and, like him, I have over 60 MSTS mini-routes plus several Open Rails 'profiles'.
However, I would add the following :
(a) Many older rolling stock add-ons use cabviews and/or sounds from the default locos so I recommend that each of your mini routes has the following sub-folders in their TRAINSET folder : 380, ACELA, CLASS50, DASH9, GP38, HHP, KIHA31, SCOTSMAN, SD402, SERIES2000, and SERIES7000. You only really NEED the CABVIEW and SOUND folder within each of those so all the loco files can be deleted.
(b) Many soundsets use default sounds from the main SOUND folder so I recommend copying the contents of this default folder into the main SOUND folder of each mini-route installation but do not allow overwrites (just in case!).

Cheers,
Ged
