When I run the act master for available stock for a new activity, the act master says the stock is not on my drive. I go into the View/Edit Rolling stock and double click on a wagon, it shows me a pic of the stock and it is on my drive. I cant run the activity with Train Store, it tells me it cant find that rolling stock. Can anyone help? Thanks!!

If both Activity Master AND Train-Store area telling you that the stock is not on your drive, chances are it is simply a matter of the folder or file name being different than what the Activity Designer used (sometimes some rolling stock lets users name their own folder names, which is disaster for anyone else using the same rolling stock in different activities). Here's something you can try IF you have the latest version of Activity Master (1.5.6): Go ahead and "replace" the rolling stock which Activity Master says isn't on your hard drive. You can use the "Specific List" choice (see the manual or the video tutorials) to replace the item with the exact same item or other items you'd accept as substitutes. This should "fix" the activity by replacing rolling stock with different spellings of the wagon or folder name in the activity with the same wagons but with folders and files spelled the way they are on YOUR machine. For instance if the activity calls for a car called "40 foot beam" in a folder called "beam cars" but your folder is "BeamCars" or something like that, AM will fix this replacing the car in the activity that is supposed to be in "beam cars" with yours which is in "BeamCars".

Another possibility is that piece of rolling stock may be stored -- although in that case TrainStore should find it and unstore it. In that case you'll still have the shape file and can view it but the .wag file is stored. You can try "Unstore Everything" to check for this.

To see for sure if you have the wagon but it is in a different folder than the activity expects it to be or has a slightly different name, try running Route Riter or ConBuilder (either one, whichever you have, both are free, there are links to them on the 'recommended links' page of the Skyline site) and see what errors it reports.

Please let me know how this works out for you. AM should replace these ok and you should be able to run and enjoy the activity.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi, Steve. I am trying to run a new act from the latest Rogers Pass Temp. I have unstored everything, there are 31 pieces of stock needing to be replaced. When I try to replace them am getting an overflow error. I have had this problem before and would run Am again and it would show that the stock is on the drive. I am using the latest Am and Ag. Thanks!

Ok, thanks for this excellent information, that is very helpful. I will check out the new Rogers Pass template and try and use AM on it and see what happens.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

I had something like this happen once before as well. AM was telling me one file was not on my hard drive. It actually was the US2FREIGHT8 box car. I thought it to be strange that it would be missing since it was not stored and I didn't change the name or folder name. I checked the actual activity that AG had created from the template by going line by line. In one section calling for a consist, the file was written as the following.

ActivityObjects (
ActivityObject (
ObjectType ( WagonsList )
Train_Config (
TrainCfg ( ""
Name ( "Loose consist." )
Serial (187 )
MaxVelocity ( 0.00000 0.00100 )
NextWagonUID ( 3 )
Durability ( 1.00000 )
Wagon (
UiD ( 0 )
WagonData ( "US2Freight7" "US2Freight7" )
)
Wagon (
UiD ( 1 )
WagonData ( "US2Freight8" "" )
)
Wagon (
UiD ( 2 )
WagonData ( "US2Freight8" "" )

)
)
)

It was actually missing the the location between the sets of quotation marks. I went back and checked the original activity file and that was OK. I deleted the SLG activity and let AG regenerate a new copy. It then was fine. Activity Master only gave me that message on a file that I was trying to modify after generating it originally with AG. I haven't run Activity Master on any files latetly to see if it happened again. If you can get a copy of that SLG activity you might see the same issue.

We had this occur on some activities I was trying to modify in the GN HiLine template several weeks ago. I am pretty sure that Steve made a correction to AG and/or AM to fix this. Are you sure that you have the latest?

I have the latest version 4.2. Just making a comment to the original poster. I had some cars show up in Activity Master showing up as not on my hard drive and found the above in the activity file. After manually editing the file, the issue went away.

Yes this was a known issue, AG would sometimes place cars in the activity with no folder name, which then always caused AM to indicate that this car was not on the drive. When you generate activities using AG4.2 you should not see any cars with wagons of "". Please let me know if you do.

Thanks,

Steve
