It's the one (Mobile County) I been working on for a couple 'o' years. It just up and Burped and my backup burped, too .RE and TrainSim won't take it. Route Riter says it's OK. I dunno, I got a couple more options, I guess. ( I hadn't thought of XTracks yet.Regards

>O t t o Hi allI want to thank y'all for the help I recieved from you.
I have, with your help, reclaimed the Mobile Bay Shore RR from the deep, dark depths of MS, Kuju, RE, hell..........
I found that the first error was from the TD file about a missing desc tile (forest ???) There was a folder in the route root called TDTST along with TD? What program created that, I have no idea....
Trying to fix that, I screwed around with everything in sight from my back-up route, and ended up with everything up-side-down and backwards, these senior moments don't help, either....
This morning I decided to re-install the original route and go from there. To make this short, deleting one TD folder and then another, it finally loaded in the RE and rebuilt the TDB. BOY, was I bouncy!
The .env files w/Kosmos and the activities reconnected done it! She'll run now!
Ya gotta watch moving stuff around trying to fix sumpin, I found that out, among other things
Thanks again
deepest regardsRegards
Bob

RE: Error

Hi Bob,This is usually a problem with the Environment files. If RR did not give an error then the .env file is probably not missing, but one of them could be garbled (or not in unicode format).Try just copying over the Envfiles folder from Template and see if that helps (as long as you are using the default .env file names).Mike

RE: Error

I've also used kosmos to fix this.
just apply a new environment to the appropriate season/weatherYou may be able to test if it is the env files by exploring in different seasons and or weather."I do what my Rice Krispies tell me to do"

RE: Error

HiThanks for the hints all, I'm still trying to find the cause of this. My latest is that shapes and the .Ref file can't get together. Regards
