Hello to all,

For those who were there in early 2007 was done my very first template, that was the Northwest Line version 2. Today, close to six years later is being worked version 6, the third template for this route ( v2 & 3 done). Rory Rice, its creator has done a very good job on this one as he took advantage in MSTS advancements of the last years. For example, for those who had run Ted Kocyla's Mactier route, some of the work done there can be found here as well, like the switches components, including small propane tanks for heating the switches, etc. The scenery has been enhanced throughout the entire route. Good job Rory!

Preparation of the template has started three months ago but has been halted when was released the Blue Comet (BC) route and have decided to create the BC template first. Now this being done, I have resumed its construction and have now finished the nine templates. Four (4) templates for the mainline templates (EB and WB) for each the CN and CP lines. Another four (4) has been done for the local templates (EB and WB). Fianlly the last one is a yards templates for the main cities, Delmenton and Korimer areas. The number of serviceable sidings has increased to more than 220 from the previous 130.

Benny has volunteered for testing and has started doing so. Thanks again Benny! Let me know if you wish to test the templates.

Will update later

Hi to all,

Work along the template package is going very well and have created a tenth template. This one is a locals with return paths to their point of origin. It has nine (9) different paths. A lot of work has been done on this one to redefine regions to accomodate this template. There is no AI traffic on the CN line, it has been set instead along the CP line.

Benny is continuing to send reports of the acts and checks out sidings to make sure all sidings have the proper car attribute.

I have started working on a detailed readme file and will be updating the readme as work progresses and requires additional details.

I am posting 16 images among the SLG acts done so far. I will be posting the first half here and the remaining eight on the next post

The shots:

















The remaining eight next post

Hello to all,

Testing the templates has been very conclusive and Benny has given me the clearance on his side to have the package released. I will prepare the zip file to have it sent to Steve for uploading.

To Benny, a big THANKS for his work in testing the package. He has been testing my templates since the beginning (almost six years ago) and appreciate his sustained work. Two Big Thumbs up Benny! laugh.gif


Here are the last images during testing of the templates.





















Will confirm later once sent to Steve.

Thought to let you know that I can't start any activity with Northwest Templates because as soon as the program of Train Simulator started and the warning message popped up on the screen. Look below:

Alert

Activity complete

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I did not even started with any activity because the simulation is over with the word, " Activity Complete."

Guess that this need to be fixed first before upload the files again.

Thank you,

John

Have created several activities on both CN and CP with no problems. Have done 2 locals and 3 through trains. Not sure what could be causing your problem.

Thanks for your reply and that's strange for me that I can't run this template but you can. I wonder if I can remove the alert with " Activity Complete " in MSTS Editors and Tools program? Or should wait for D. Gionet to see what he have to say about his work on this templates.

John

Hi John,

Don't forget to use the SLG-generated activities AG creates and not the basic template files. This issue is often encountered when activating by accident the xxx.ACT file instead of the SLG-XXX.ACT file, generating the "Activity complete" message.

It happened to me me more than once during templates construction.

Okay and should I remove the xxx.ACT file in Activity Folder of Northwest 6? Or leave it alone as is.

No, the xxx.ACT files are the basic files AG uses to generate the SLG-xxx.ACT files. While the user uses the SLG-xxx.ACT files to run his activities, the xxx.ACT file must remain untouched in the ACTIVITIES folder.

I gave up with this because I have download the zip files and install them all afternoon and still nothing work right. Yes I did remove all the files first for that activity in the ROUTES Folder of Northwest 6 before installing the files again not overwrite them. Still the same thing with the word popped up right at the beginning of the MSTS simulation -- ALERT! Activity Complete. That is really annoying with this part. Guess that I can't run this activity that was created by Denis Gionet. By the way my operating system is Microsoft Windows Professional SP-3.

Thank you,

John

I believe that you are selecting the wrong activity to run. If you are getting 'ALERT! Activity Complete' right from the start, you are selecting the Activity Template that is used for creating runable activities. I just tested my theory and I got the same result that you have encountered. After generating your activity in Activity Generator, when starting Train Simulator, you need to run the activity that begins with SLG-xxx. Make sure you look for it. Denis created 10 different Activity Templates for this route so it might be buried in the list.

Jim -- thanks for your time to reply about this problem. OK yes I do have a program of Activity Generator in my computer. But I need to understand what to do with this program?

Did tried with Activity Generator to generate the activities and still the SAME with nothing change with activities to be able to simulate on the program of Microsoft Train Simulator. I believe that this is the responsibility of the creator who create the templates should correct the problem not us. I did tried few times this morning to generate the activity and nothing work with the Alert message disappear. Can I delete this stupid message out of each template in different way? Or if you got your templates working and upload them in templates section for anyone who want to download the files. Or send me your files via e-mail.

Thank you,

John

First off, YOU seem to be the only one having this problem. I don't see how it is the template creators "responsibility" to "correct the problem".

2nd, your statement that you don't understand how Activity Generator works is the root of the problem. AG must be used to generate an activity. Without going into a tutorial on how to do this here, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and watch the how-to videos on Skyline computings web site. It is a very good program, and allows you to create however many activities you wish to.

I would take a look at the manual and view the tutorial video.
http://www.skylinecomputing.com/VideoTutor...Edit%20(2).html

This video will show the basics on how to create an activity and how to load the activity you created. You cannot try to run the template activities as they will not work properly. They were never intended to be run. All they are used for is TEMPLATES so you can CREATE an activity for you to run.

As for the templates, there is nothing wrong with them. Just as in the previous post, I have used them 'right out of the box' and they work correctly for generating and activity.
