Short question: How do you substitute a new player consist into an activity without affecting the activity’s timetable?Long story: I recently learned how to substitute a new consist for the default player consist in an activity, with a lot of help from Sniper’s “Hacking Activities II: Drive the Trains You Want to!” tutorial. Apparently I didn’t learn enough. I’ve been experimenting with FBL v.3 to start. In the Bucketeer and Afternoon Commuter activities, when I changed the player consist all the station arrival and departure times changed to the same time - the activity starting time. In “Edit Timetable” I hit “Recalculate This” which reset the timetable to the correct times. So far, so good.However, in the Moorcock Loop and Short Passenger activities, when I created a new player consist for each activity and hit “Recalculate This” the editor would not change the times back to the proper times. Instead, the window changed from white background to the same tannish (?) color as the other windows, as though I were doing something wrong, which I obviously am. Then, when I hit Cancel, the times changed, but they were completely wrong. Continued attempts to recalculate the times produced continued errors with varying time values. At one point I got a window stating “Desired time could not be reached” accompanied by some data. The only difference I can see between the first two activities which are OK and the second two which have the wrong times in the timetable is that the first two have separate player train service and AI train services listed in the Player Service drop down menu, in addition to the ActivityName listing. When I substitute the player consist in these activities, it creates a new Player0 service, along with a new ActivityName0 service. With the two problem activities, there are no listings for a player train service and AI train services. All that’s in the drop down menu is the ActivityName listing itself. When I change the player consist in that Activity a new ActivityName0 service is created without any Player0 service. When I run the activity, it has my new player consist, but wrong timetable times.Hope you’re not as confused as I am by this long-winded explanation. Any suggestions would be appreciated, except the one that says “get a new hobby.”Al
