NR_Emb_a1t0_2mStrt causing error in Monon 2

[yellowdog]

The .s and .sd files both seem to be corrupt, or blank inside. They live in the Monon-2/Tracks-ND/NR_Emb_track_Rock folder. The blank sd appears to cause a fatal crash for ORTS (New Year MG 167.1). If I copy the contents of another .sd file and modify it within the NR_Emb_track_Rock.sd, ORTS will run. Every version of these files that I have (from backups) have the same error. Has anybody else seen this, and/or is aware of a fix? A forum search for that particular file name brought no results.

These file names are not original Norbert Rieger files as contained in NR_Bahntrasse_1.04.rar and NR_Bahntrasse_2.1.rar and therefore violate copyright.

How do you know it's a copyright violation? Consent could have been given. It's explicitly stated that the ORIGINAL filenames and textures should not be used, and that changed Filenames and textures can be used. Do we know for sure that the files YellowDog shared did not include a reference to the source (author), as stated? These may just be what they are mentioned... corrupted files that were modified by a 3rd party in a compliant way.

Um, I didn't share any files. I just posted their names for reference.

If I were to change the files for my own purposes, they would no longer begin with NR_... You're supposed to rename them, but I don't think that's the right way to do it. It's a shame we can't ask Norbert anymore.

Passing on the files is not the problem, but destroying them is.

It looks like the error was on my side. It took some experimentation, installing the various Monon exe files into test folders, but I found the files in question contained in the Monon-2_17-Main.exe. Copying and pasting into my route installation folders solved the problem.

Hi,
Referring to the OP's first post, my copies of the specified files are OK so I suspect that his download is corrupt.

Is it only those two files or are all the files in the folder blank or corrupt?

Maybe the .D01 file was missed when unpacking? (Two files comprise the archive, Monon-2_17-Main.exe and Monon-2_17-Main.D01).

Cheers,
Ged

EDIT : You just beat me to it! Pleased you've got it sorted.
