Nov-18-01, 12:03 PM (EST) "Switch Locks up game" Ok, I missed the punishment, so I'm trying to create a route again. Here's my problem.I've got 1 section of track with a switch. Everything is fine unless I try and press G to change the points. The game locks up. Is there something in the Route Editor or Activity Editor that I've missed? I've tried deleting that switch and putting a new one in and that didn't make any change. Also, I deleted the activity and recreated it and that didn't make any difference either.Thanks,

Nov-18-01, 03:21 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Switch Locks up game" A little more info here. I deleted everything to do with the test activity I made for testing with. Created a new activity and it still gives me the message about sending an error report when I try and change the switch with the G key. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Nov-18-01, 05:41 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Switch Locks up game" One thing that would help, open it up in the activity editor, hit ALT and Print Screen, paste it into a graphics program that saves jpegs, and post the picture. When I get that it's one of two things, either a continuous path or a switch beyond the switch that ends without a piece of track connected to the base. Look for something like that in the route editor, if you're sure there aren't any loops:No blue line beyond the red line, and it won't be a problem until a path is traced to the red line without finding a blue line beyond it.I can make an activity and run all over this until I throw the switch leading to the one with nothing attached to it's base, then it will lock up. To avoid that now that I know better, I always place a temporary section of 10 meter straight at the base of a switch like that if I'm not sure where I want to go beyond it yet.
