Error Message Options

Hello everyone, I finished running my first AG4 activity and I must say, it sure was a lot of fun. Many thanks go out to Steve Davis and Norm Beveridge for all there efforts and hard work.

I am currently working on getting the 1950's version of the Alma template running. However, I seem to be having some trouble getting MSTS to recognize the SP Gon 92744 wag file. I have read the "Readme" file several times and thought I was doing what the author of this car said to do to enable different loads but MSTS keeps bringing up the following message no matter what.

"Error reading train database file File: Trains\Trainset\SP_Gon_92744\SP_Gon_92744GRVL.wag"

I have tried making separate folders with the different wag file in each folder for the different loads. 

Since the car comes with an MT wag file and a load wag file within the same folder, I have tried changing out the load wag file which read sp_g-50-11_parts_logs.s to sp_g-50-11_parts_grvl.s without success. 

Any ideas what this could be? Many thanks to all in advance for your assistance.

I have noticed that sometimes files are renamed by people who create Templates. I myself am in the process of renaming all my TRAINSET files to a more understandable filename. For example, the default Dash 9 that comes with MSTS, I have renamed the file to the following:

Folder "Dash9" is now "BNSF_C44-9W_4732"

Shape file Dash9.s is now "BNSF_C44-9_4732.s

Wagon file Dash9.wag is now "BNSF_C44-9W.wag

Shape Definition Dash9 is now "BNSF_C44-9W.sd

You also need to correct the line inside the .sd file and 3 lines inside the .wag to read the same way

This is how I correct this problem but don't try this unless you are pretty knowlegable about the files. If you would like send me a copy of the file and I'll see if I can help you.
