Can't print some activity briefs/workorders, I can print most briefs/workorders but some generate errors Options

[TacomaSailor]

The following message (in a different form) was posted at Trainsim.com but received no responses:

Several activity creators have spoiled me with their .txt files that contain all the work orders. I thought it would be a simple thing to create such a document for myself for those activities that don't provide printed work orders.

BUT... as is often the case in the MSTS world the simple is not so easy to achieve.

I tried to use ActivityMaster 1.5.9 but when I press the "Print Work Order and Briefing" button on the Modify Activity, Print Work Order, Breifing screen I get the message:

"Subscript out of range occurred in function cmdWorkOrder processing file: "

-OR-
"Invalid procedure call or argument occurred in function cmdWorkOrder processing file: "

In about 70% of activities I can print the work order/brief and some of those work orders are quite complex, e.g ScenicSub Sp8.act. I can print work orders/briefs for most of the activities in my standard TrainSim folder and for all of the Bernina mini-route activities.

I can modify the activities and I can print the list of rolling stock - even for the activities where I can not print the brief. I use Activity Master quite a bit and have not had other problems with it.

One of the two errors shown above occurs in many activities, but mainly in those routes for which I have loaded a lot of complex activities (Whitefish 9) or PRR (lots of services). I don’t seem to get the “subscript out of range” error in Willamette Pass, Scenic Sub, Cajon pass (Freeware) activities even thought they also have complex activities.

In PRR (a mini-route) I created a very simple activity with ONE service, no AI, no traffic, no work order and when I try to print that activity I get the subscript out of range message. The activity runs fine when I play in in PRR.

The Activity Master debug text shows no errors but it does not show a complete load of all services. In the case of the Whitefish 9 route the debug.txt file ends with:

In the case of any PRR activity the debug.txt file ends with:

???? Are there any suggestions for getting Activity Master to work???
