"Phantom Track Node"

[tarrant75]

I know with MSTS we used to be able to rebuild a track DB by deleting the old one, go back and rebuild the database by selecting each piece of track to rebuild it. With TSRE, that doesn't seem to work, as if you don't have a trk.db file, the route will not open. So what I did was delete all but one track entry in the db, resave it, which essentially allows it to be rebuilt....

HOWEVER!!!

Now we have a problem in that there is always a piece of track that will cause the route to crash when selected. If you are fast, you can select it and delete it to get rid of it, BUT IT LEAVES THE PHANTOM NODE!!! 😡

Anyone have a suggestion on this one? This is for a personal project, not a TrainSimulations one, so I thought it best to ask here

Thanks

Is the log leaving any details? Track deletes should be there. Also, what version?

If it's my fork, make sure to enable debugOutput.

Using 7.012 (for now), but if 8.004 will fix it, I'll happily use that.

The log file is too large to upload, but I don't see anything obvious that might be the problem.

That being said, this is after setting debugOutput to "True"

Is node 1 the phantom?

Try attaching a piece of track to the stub for "1" , select the new track, and then use the Hacks -> delete track vector. That has always worked for me.

I ended up creating a "blank route", copying over the tdb file, rennaminng it and then rebuilding the tdb manuallly.

A true PITA, but thankfully it's not a huge route yet.

Thanks for the help Eric

I really need to look at the TSRE code that's requiring a TDB... I've run into the same issue.

Was there no error message here? Normally autoFix = true can repair this.
