Region Code errors Options

[ditchlight]

I am getting region code errors with several of the AG4 templates for the Canton route. These errors point to the tdb file so before I reinstall the whole route I will start by asking the dumb questions. What causes these errors? Has anyone else experienced these errors? Is it something that can be tracked down and fixed without reinstalling the route? It has not been all that long since I used the old template and had no problems.

Good afternoon,
I just down loaded the current Canton template and checked the "SWLTD" table against the "PRO" file and found miss matched regions.
Example, The cantonWBtemplate lists RegNum 25, 19,13,8 in the PRO file but the SWLTD only goes 1 to 20 there isn't a 25. This error is also in the cantonEBtemplate.
One other number I question is there is a "0" RegNum in the other PRO files but no RegNum in the matching SWLTD files could this also be a problem?
I can't edit these and try them out as I don't have the canton route on my system.

Mayby some one else can comment on my findings?

If the region is in the PRO file but not in the SWLTD*.csv file, AG will tell you there is a missing region when you start the program and tell you to contact the template builder. It will also tell you that when you select that particular path when setting up an activity. However, you should be able to still create activities with the template. Basically, whatever numbers that are in the PRO file, must also be in the SWLTD*.csv file to keep from getting an error.

Update:
I took a look at this template too. Looking at the PRO file, when you read the line from left to right, the values of 0 and 25 do not have anything to do with the regions. The first number, or second value, in that line pertains to the 'Maximum cars in Starting Player Train' setting in Activity Generator, not any region.

Reading across the line from left to right:

Name of the path, Maximum Cars in starting Player train, region, region, etc.
