This version breaks the 64K limit on .yrd files, which was limiting map makers from completing very large maps. It is a required new version.Jim

I have made minor changes to some maps, and now with the new version, I can not access those maps, and have to download the trackage again, and redo my changes. Not good.Paul Metzger

OK, The only thing I can think of that will make a map not load is if you have manually edited the .yrd file for some strange reason. Make sure that your .yrd file contains all of these lines (although the values may vary, of course) The file must be exactly in this format, with no variation at all! Note: There is only one blank line between sections and I have replaced the brackets in this example.<Header>

RE: Yard Duty - 1.1.9 Released

Seems like it's sensitive to the blank lines between sections, if they're missing. Some cheapo editors (Notepad, anyone?) can get hinky about carriage returns. I put the blank lines back into a .yrd I had edited and it opened fine.Kevin
