Class 37 Passenger Farewell - Unpacking troubles

The MSTS Activity Editor allows you to make your own activities, or missions, for the player to complete. This is also how you can get lots of other trains running while you drive yours!

Class 37 Passenger Farewell - Unpacking troubles

Post by martinhodgson »

I have had an Email from Keith Young about unpacking my activity. Apparantly, it gives a message "Expected more files - package damaged". I have no idea what this problem is. Can anyone help me and Keith?

Hello Martin

Try this. Open the routes TRK file in wordpad and make sure the routes folder name is the same as the Route ID name. If it's not you get this error.
Had it on some versions of Ruabon-Bala

I just tried to unpack Class 37 Passenger Farewell and got a track database mismatch plus the "expected more files, package damaged" message. I also noticed that you specify the Arriva Metro Class 144, No 144001 but the folder you indicate is AM_Class_144_144009. Which one is the correct train 001 or 009?

It's a typo :-? . It should be 001. I can't fix the expected more files error though- I've unpacked and repacked multiple times. Is everyone who has downloaded this having this problem? If so I will delete it.

I opened the route.trk and discovered the following:

The route folder is "Settle&Carlisle 1930's"

The route ID is "Settle"

The obvious questions are, do we change the folder to match the route ID or vice versa and if we do will it affect all of the other activities that currently work.

Martin, did you open the route in RE and re-save or use Horace on it before creating your activity??

I think the solution is for Martin to change the folder name to "Settle" and then to repackage the activity and then re-post it.
