Ok have a problem. The act file is saved under wordpad for some reason not really sure why but how do i change it

[NiallGray]

No idea. But could I make a suggestion/request, please?

When you re-upload it, could you list on the screen what additional downloads are needed?

[mikespearce]

Yeah done.

Remember that you need more than just the act file for it work on other computers. You will also need traffic and services and paths folders. What you should do is use the "Package Activity" function in the activity editor. This will produce an APK file containing everything needed. You put that in your Zip file with your readme and upload that.

The act file on its own wont work.

[mikespearce]

Thats what i needed to know.

Cheers

Ive often found that the PC on which the activity is created can be a bit more tolerant towards small problems but which, when run on another machine, will stop it working. Ive had cases where two pieces of traffic started on top of each other, no problem on my PC but of course an instant derailment on everyone elses. Likewise stock which will sometimes fit in a siding fine on the development PC sometimes wont on another.

Its usually helpful to know the precise time that the activity fails as it gives the author a starting point to look for the problem. A problem right at the beginning of an activity is usually an incorrectly placed piece of static consist, whereas an error as the game progresses - even if after just a few seconds, will usually mean an AI conflict. Another thing which can cause a problem, or lack of it, is the level of detail selected. If the activity is starting in a dense area, whether scenic or AI/static, and the author is running with settings turned down it may work ok on his machine, but another with settings maxed out may well have an object loading problem.

So do you get that error immediately the game loads - ie even before the briefing window opens, or as the activity starts to run?

[mikespearce]

Yeah see iv tried it over and over and its fine so you might be right.

Its always a good idea to get someone to test it for you.
