ALLTRAIN Route Help Please?

[pcohen]

Hi everybody, me again.

Currently I have MSTS Installed With It's Default Routes and 10 Routes of my own.
Plus any Required Aditions, All of which are running Normally,

I have Downloaded the Route "Alltrain" which looks amazing but It only Runs for a few Minutes.

Not sure what needs adding to make It work correctly.

Have attached the Log File. Any help with this please?

Many thanks

This is the error:

Warning: System.IO.FileLoadException: C:\1MSTS\ROUTES\Alltrain\WORLD\w-006351+015010.w ---> System.Exception: Unrecognized header "

Many thanks

Hi Paul,
I suggest that you may have installed AllTrain v1.1 (fileID 88213) then applied the v2 upgrade (fileID 90255).
In v1.1, World File w-006351+015010.w file contains 213KB, 4991 lines
In v2, the same file contains absolutely nothing!
That is the reason for Open Rails rejection.
As for WHY it is empty, you'll need to ask the author.
There is nothing YOU can do to fix it - you could try deleting it, but who knows what other problems that will cause?!
Even files w-006351+015009.w and w-006351+015011.w are totally different between v1.1 and v2.

Cheers,
Ged

HI Ged, thanks again, now up and running again, think I forgot to Install the Version 2 Update?

Many thanks

Paul.

Hi Everybody.

Well, Activity "round trip" crashed again.

Having removed and Reinstalled "Alltrain V1 & V2"

Think I might leave this One alone.

Thanks

It's the same Error:

Warning: System.IO.FileLoadException: C:\1MSTS\ROUTES\Alltrain\WORLD\w-006351+015010.w ---> System.Exception: Unrecognized header "

Delete w-006351+015010.w and try again. In the worst case, you will have an empty world file that does not produce any errors.

Hi Paul,
With respect, Jan, that doesn't help!!
IT DOESN'T WORK! - OR still crashes with a 'fatal error' before it starts.
Yes, I've just tried v1.1 (which is OK), then v1.1 + v2 upgrade, the v1.1 + v2 upgrade + deleted World file \w-006351+015010.w

Cheers,
Ged

Sorry, but that's just not true. I have now downloaded and installed the route. The empty w-006351+015010.w file causes an error because it has no content. The header and Tr_Worldfile are missing. After deleting them, the task loads. Loading time is 5 minutes because the task contains 275 AI trains. The log.txt file has 773 lines of error messages.

You can write the following content to w, and it will not generate an error mess.

I have AllTrain 1.1 and it runs fine, might I suggest trying that alone first to make sure the route works, before adding the V2 update.

Edit - V2 Is not an Update but a new completely new Route - DO NOT Overwrite V2 into V1.1

[oper190]

Just downloaded V2 - appears to be a complete route, so am installing separately without overriding V1.1 - will post result once done.

[oper190]

Okay V1.1 and V2 are two separate and complete routes. V2 runs fine stand alone.
They use the same Route Name, so I installed V2 in a different OR install from V1.1 and both can be run. V2 has hideous low frames (40s) rates compare to V1.1 (120s) doing an explore in each. Note there are totally different paths in both versions. So I suggest picking just one to run, or install both but in different OR installs as I've done.

Edit- Also after a save and going to Resume, all saves from both V1.1 and V2 will appear and will run. ( That was a surprise to me. )


Paul - in you log I see missing rolling stock, did you install the Trainsets that came with the route in the proper folder?

Which means that it will never run in MSTS. ( for long )

Time to move to OpenRails.

Hi Geary,
Thanks, mate It goes to show that you can't believe everything you read! My apologies to everybody, especially Paul, for the bad info!
I did notice that v2 was larger than v1.1 but gave the word 'update' precedence. I should have considered that the author's native language might not be English.
I agree that v2 runs without the 'fatal error', but the log also reports a warning regarding file w-006351+015010.w.

Yah same here, checked it's a file with nothing in it.

V2 runs real jerky, so not much fun, so probably stay with just v1.1
