TSRE cannot open route

[baldwin]

I have a short payware route I want to do some work on for myself. No version of TSRE8xxx I have will open it. TSRE069x will open but crashes after moving position. Documents.zip
This has three logs from 069, 8004 and 8005

I don't see anything obvious, but the 8.005 log had Debug output set to false. At the stage it's at, it's not the REF or TDB, so I'd guess a texture or shape is corrupted and barfing on load or render. Might also be a bad ENG, WAG or CON file, since those get loaded for the activity pane.

It might be helpful to take openrails for a test drive and then attach the openrailslog.txt file here.

Hi Jan
Works fine in OR, but has some scenery issues I want to fix.

Eric
Thanks for the possible problem/s. I dont think it is a texture, I dont see anything that stands out when running in OR, but it might be a wag, eng or con file nearly all of them need working on. Will try the Debug option as well.

Check the .ref file. TSRE doesn't like missing quotation marks and will crash to desktop with no warning or errors.

I'd think any ref file crashes would happen when it's read and the file loaded, which is ahead of opening the GUI. Still a good thing to check.

So far I have used the shape viewer to check all used shapes, all show with no missing textures, I have reduced the activity folder to a single one that I know works with no problems. 8.005 shuts down after loading tsre-log-20251124-1546.zip
7.014 gets to display the route, then shuts down log.zip

The logfile is definitely reporting missing W files:

[I] W file: not exist "e:/lms/routes/PeakRail/world/w-006106+015006.w"

Hi Ged and Eric
No confusion between routes as both logs are generated by trying to load PeakRail into tsre.

If I open PeakLine into TSRE8 it opens with no fuss, but the log is also showing about 13 missing world files, so I don't think that is the problem with PeakRail, don't forget TSRE7 does open the route, but immediately shuts down.

I am tempted to re-activate the old MSTS RE and see what happens there.

Running the route presents no problems, apart from dealing with a load of MSTS legacy eng and wag file settings. It is the scenic side where it falls down and thus the reason I want to make some changes to it.

Hi Mervyn,
May I offer you a big apology 😳
In my archive I have two folders, both marked as being the RRR Peak Line installation - One of them isn't, so please ignore my previous post - I have deleted it.
Sorry.

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged
No worries mate. I have got the MSTS RE to open the route with a few missing road shapes, just got to relearn how it works now.

This post really belongs in the MSTS route design forum, but I do not see a new topic button, so as the query is linked to this route that TSRE will not open I bring it here.
The route in question does open in the MSTS RE and some actions do work, I can select different routes and close the editor using the mouse, but the mouse is not recognized as valid within the route window so I cannot change the camera viewpoint nor can I save, I can click the save button, but nothing happens.
