Marias Kootenaii Route problem please?

[pcohen]

Hi everybody.

OK, I know I'm stupid, but I have had this Route Running Once alredy
and have made no changes to It.

Can somebody please hava a look at the Log File please?

And tell me what I'm doing wrong please?

Many thanks

Paul.

This line says it all:>
Error: System.IO.InvalidDataException: Player train original position not clear

It means that OR doesn't understand where the start is?

It means one of 2 things,

1. the activity is corrupt,
2. the start position is not clear.

Fixing this is reinstall or user the activity editor to check the starting position.

Hi Derek, thanks for your reply.

Will have another look at It.

Thanks

Paul.

And tell me what I'm doing wrong please?

Paul and all, as prior posted in another thread, that path is set in the wrong direction, and thus very short, only a very short consist can fit on it. It actually runs south, from Athol, not north and east to Shelby. I had to run it in the MSTS Activity Editor and reversed the path several times to get it go in the right direction, and going to Shelby.

Here's my corrected path: ATHOL-SHELBY.zip

Hi Geary.

Thanks very much for the Updated file.

Paul.

Hi Geary. sorry to be a nuisance again.

I have replaced/Overwritten the Athol - Shelby zip and the Route now seems to be Running fine. I have run from Athol to swamp Creek,
some three Hours running Time without Any problems.

However, when loading the activity, It Is still displaying as a "load error".

Not sure what to do with It.

Thanks

Paul.

Paul at a loss here, post the OR Log after trying to load the activity, that might shed some light on the issue.
I have started the activity after changing to my path and so far all okay, after 30min. of driving, so haven't gotten that far yet. I'm using one of my own consists that I know is okay. My own log is not showing anything major that should cause a problem like that.

Hi Geary, apologies for not attaching Log File//Now attached.

Since sending this post, Have now completed the Route Atholl - Shelby almost at Whitefish and saved. Almost 3HRS 30 Minutes.

Running great!

Thanks

Paul.

Paul - Which Route are you having problem with. You are mentioning Marias-Kootenaii but your Log is for Gold-Spike-X? These are two distinctly different Routes.

The log shows sound errors and a few objects, nothing I am aware of that should cause a problem running an Activity. The sounds are with the NS wagons which might be cause the error notice at startup. I have them as well so will check their files.
I haven't run Gold-Spike yet, just downloaded.

[oper190]

Paul - I just did a test with the NS Heavyweight coach set you used - no sound errors reported, with a simple change to the Set's Sound folder.
Replace this with the file in the Set's Sound Folder; sthrnobserv.zip

Also it requires you have the complete Default Scotsman folder in your Trainset Folder for sounds.

Hi Geary, my apologies I did mean the Gold-Spike Route.


Many thanks

Paul.

Hi everybody, back again

Really don't understand this, must be jinxed.

Having Re-Installed a new Gold Spike Route that worked OK before.

Now, I am back to the stage where there are no Roads again. Didn't get far enough Yesterday when I tested It.

I have re-Installed Scale Road and UKFineScale but no Improvement.

Log File attached:- OpenRailsLog.zip

Thanks again, if anybody has the patience with me.

Paul

P.S. my apologies, forgot Newroads

Hi Paul
You stated "Having Re-Installed a new Gold Spike Route that worked OK before."
If it was working why did you re-install?.

Gold Spike is expecting a Global/Shapes folder that has the default road shapes in it. Looking at the log the required shapes are not in the expected location. The route also requires New Roads to be installed.

Hi Mervyn, thanks again.

Because I have reinstalled a new/fresh ORTSContent Folder, and was Starting afresh with a New set of Routes.

Thanks

Paul.

[baldwin]

Hi Paul
A fresh ORContent install will require all of the track and road sets that you had in the old one. You cannot just add a route to an install and expect it to work without also installing the other requirements for a route, Gold Spike needs Xtracks or Atracks and New Roads. Is there any particular reason for a fresh ORContent install?.
