I\O ERROR Options

[AT RR]

Steve / Norman
When running AG on an updated template i'm working on when I compile the activity everything goes fine until the end and I get an I\O error. My question is what should I be looking for in the files that may cause this problem?

Thanks,
Peter

I didn't realize this route was renamed along the way to Newark & Jersey City 1.5. I did a check of this route as well. What I have written below still applies to the updated version of this route. JRM 4:30 PM on 10/13/07


OK, I went to Train-Sim and downloaded all the files for Newark & New Jersey Railroading all the way up to Beta 9b. I went ahead and created a SWLTDB and compared it to the the acutual track datebase file Usa_NNJ.tdb for the route. I have also uploaded the zip file containing the SWLTDB file and file to the actual track database file. As you can see, the numbers sequence does not match in the SWLTDB file. If you look at the RTF file, you will see how the track numbers actually line up. Also, make note as to how many times "Siding 1" is used. This is the same issue that I had to resolve with Glorieta Pass. For Glorieta, I copied the whole route to a temporary folder to work with. The I edited the names a bit, in the Route Editor, so I could get a good set of files from AG. You can edit the SWLACT file (track name) a bit so users can figure out what siding is where so it makes more sense when creating an activity. I'm not sure if there is an easier way to do this. I didn't want to manually edit any of the route files since the siding names go in the file the order that they were named. In short, the one you find first might be regions away from the siding listed before and after the entry you are looking at.
