Generator/Master using BX car as Eng? Options

[Bear]

I have run AM and set up the types for all my stock, Created a group with only the stock I want used, and ran it.
Everything seemed to go swimmingly.

Opened AG and created an activity, using the same act/template.
I'm now getting this...see pic.

as you can see, there is no .eng file for this stock. see pic.

and the .wag file has it named properly. see pic.

any idea whats causing this?

What program generated the 'missing consists.txt' file? That doesn't look like anything that Activity Master produces. Have you tried to run the activity, and if you did, where there any errors?

Route Riter produced the missing consist file...I just saved it.
I tried to run the activity and received "unable to find Julbox40.eng file" and of course the others listed, and all kinds of missing sound errors and eventually a fatal crash to desktop.
While I contribute the missing sound errors to some of the stock not having sound.(intentionally) And all stock has been run through RR to find any Sound or Name errors. Initial results were clean...or fixed.
I can't figure why AG/AM and Route Riter are calling for engines I don't have.
I have tried to get rid of all rolling stock with freds and "no sound" and will attempt to run this again.
I didn't run Route Riter until the activity wouldn't run...as I assumed that I had done everything right.
I will also try this template again with all default stock and hopefully narrow down the culprit.
I know one of the errors (error 5 or 6), had something to do possibly with not having enough room on sidings. The only setting left to use in AG is NO added stock to the scenario.(I've tried to lower the settings). Kinda sad, as that is part of the reason I purchased it. (This may be the fault of the Template designer though.)

I took a look at this template and didn't see any of the rolling stock, that you are having trouble with, in the original templates or template files. I'm not sure what files those are from, but suspect that they have some problems.

Activity Generator will create an activity even if you don't have the stock required installed on your hard drive. It uses the information from the activity template and the corresponding CSV files. If you used Activity Master to change out the cars in the original template, that could have created some issues. One thing you have to be careful of is what stock you choose for replacement. If the template author used 50 foot box cars, and then you replaced them with 60 or 85 foot cars, that would be a problem. Changing the stock, in the activity template, can create issues with the amount of cars that are allowed on a siding if you do not choose cars that are approximately the same type and length.
