Activity Manager Options

[AT RR]

Steve or Anyone,
I have been working on a template for the Buffalo Route Beta, Everything was working fine, I generated over 25+ activities, with no problems car placement, etc.

The other night I updated the route to Beta 2. Most of the changes the route developer made was the addtion of signals. I ran route riter and found no errors and the explore mode and a test path work great with no problems.

When I generate a Activity everything in AG worked Ok until I go to run the Activity. I get the folowing error on the screen "failed to intialize activity manager". I have tried to run the Activity using train store and normal mode.
Is there any thing I can look for in any of the activity files that may cause this error?

Happy New Year.

Jim,
Thank you for the idea, I tried setting the world filler slider to no fill but with the same results.

What I found was when the route had the signals added one signal added right at the upper exit from the mill complex. As a result over 25 of the sidings locations had their id numbers shifted resulting in a corrupt event table. I took the origional ACT and went back and reset every event matching the seed car consist numbers with the correct siding id number.

I think I have everything working and have generated several switch lists getting the correct cars in the train and correct cars in the industries with only a problem with one. This problem was with one large path that touched all 5 regions and MS gave me the old "send/ don't send" high sign. Have to recheck the path.

Another item I found was this route has slow frame rates around the large yard areas, as it turns out the track texture fiile used was 1,413KB I changed the file to another file that looks just as great and is only 265KB. What a great change in frame rates. I then used these files on other routes and places where there were problems around large yards and the speed loss was minimized.
