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.

Hi Peter and Jim,

In the PRO file of all AG templates, the first number designate the maximum number of cars the user can add up to its starting consist as shown here in the AG window for the Canton WB Template



As you can see here, the other numbers are shown after the first number and are the regions being used.

I have built the template to have the EB and WB templates work only the main yards throughout the whole Canton system while the LOCALS and the YARDS Templates work on the rest of the regions. The PRO file of both LOCALS and YARDS Templates start with no possibility to add up cars at start . That is why both PRO files have a "0" as the first number. For the WB and EB Templates, the user can add up to a maximum of 25 cars at start, depending of the path used in the template. You can have a "0" as first number in one path while another path in the same PRO file having a different first number.

Hope to have answered the question

Denis,

I must have been editing the post the same time you were.

The line reads as in my update.

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