Activity Generator Options

[asteph627]

Since Steve Davis is not interested in helping me to solve my problems with Activity Generator & Switchlist Generator, I am deleting the program from my computer. This is not the first time I have contacted anyone for help without getting the "No one else is having this problem". I won't be buying anymore of these products and when seeing others ask about a comment on other forums about the products offered, my response will be "save your money, they are to busy to offer any support for problems but are quick to accept your money".

AJ,

I wan't trying to "accuse" you of not updating the program.  The problem you were reporting led me to believe, even hope, that you were running an older version and so did the Workorder you sent me.  I was EXCITED when I saw that workorder because I thought, "aha, I know what the problem is!".  So rather than not helping as you said, I helped you right away, giving you the best advice I knew how to give: asking you to update to the latest version.  Because my programs don't auto-update I have had people download the updates but not install them correctly.  Some very smart people have tried putting each version in it's own folder for example.  That won't work though because it needs to overwrite the old version and be in the same folder as the old version since there are a lot of files in the \SwitchlistGenerator folder that the program needs to work -- such as the "preamble.dat" that someone reported having a problem with.

I do feel bad because I had no idea that you had all these templates and you're telling me none of them work on your machine!  I had no idea, I thought you only had a problem creating your own template for the Clinton sub -- which is understandable, doing that is a difficult undertaking as Peter, Norm and others will tell you -- and then with Peter Laier's recent NNJ-NYC template. 

The first question I need to ask you is, do these ROUTES work on your machine?  In other words can you run activities for the Clovis Sub on your machine? 

Since I wrote the Clovis Sub template myself, specifically for the latest version of ActivityGenerator (Marias and some others are older and only work with SwitchList Generator Classic) I'd like to start with that one in my quest to help you. 

1.  Can you run activities for that route? (Not ActivityGenerator activities, just other activities that came with the route or that you downloaded?)  If not then the problem is with your installation of the route.  If so then go on to step 2.

2.  Please generate an activity for that route.  Tell me which path you select, which track or tracks you selected as "source" tracks, and which tracks you selected as "industry" tracks.

3.  If the activity won't run or you get errors please tell me what errors  you are getting. Are the errors in MSTS, or do you see them while running Activity Generator?

Thanks,

Steve Davis
