errors with car types, I keep getting errors when trying to generate an act Options

[prr4ever]

Quite often, (ie:most of the time.) when generating an activity with activity gen I get the following type error.

"Template calls for car type FMT (or car type CL or whatever at random) but there is no car of that type in the SWLACT CSV file" This is presently driving me nuts on the Pokey route and template.

I have Activity Master and all car types are correct, but I do not know where the template or the CSV gets its car types from except from the excel files written for the template. It seems to me that the two would match up when the act is generated. Somewhere in my 5000 hunks of rolling stock there should be a car of any type. Can I edit something to add the car type wanted? If so what column in the excel files show car type?

Note, I get this same error in other templates as well. I have tried substituting cars with Activity master, building special consists to use with AM and AG but still I get this error all too often.

Any ideas??

Hi Dave,

I have rechecked the template files for the FMT files (unless it's something else) are they seem to be present in each of the SWLACT and SWLTDB files. See images below for both the EB and WB templates:









You may wish to remove all template files located in the ACTIVITIES (CSV, ACT, CTP,PRO), PATHS (PAT), SERVICES (SRV), TRAFFIC(TRF if present) and the CONSISTS (CON) folders and re-install the latest template files. The Pokey has been done by both Norm and Pete. Maybe they can be of help if other issues.
