Event Options

[AT RR]

Steve,

When setting up a template sometimes you can add 2 events for the same siding or conflicting events or when adjusting consists locations shift it onto another track in the yard. This causes AG to generate a siding location say "3" and the actual consist shows up on "5".

  The way MSTS event window handles viewing events is a lot of work. Is there a way of extracting a list of the events for a route showing all the properties other than opening each event and right click properties when debugging a problem?

Thanks,

Peter

Peter,

Adding more than one pickup event won't hurt anything, it's ok.  But adding a pickup event on one track and then accidentally moving the consist to another track will cause problems as you noted -- it will call for pickups from the wrong track.

I REALLY hate having to add these Action Events.  I have tried very hard to figure out how to avoid these but so far haven't figured it out.  Perhaps I can write a program for Microsoft Train Simulator X or Kuju Rail Simulator that won't require this nonsense.  Or I'll figure out the math of how to equate tile and position information to the actual siding, which I have been unable to do.

There may be some sort of utility I could write that will check to confirm that every time a car is said to be located on a certain siding in the CSV file, it actually is there in the .act file. 

Thanks,

Steve
