Before you do anything...Is all the textures there and the TDB,. but no objects or track?..Could be somthing very simple and easy to remidie:-)

Hi all


When a route crshes like this it is down to a loading error generally with a world tile, you will find if you take note of the tile reference
number where it crashed then open the (found in the cmaera box in MSTS RE) "World folder, find the tile reference number and you will find if you open the file in wordpad it is empty, delete all text from this file, open the *.BK file of the same name then select all and copy the contents into the empty one, once you have done this, make a copy of the *.BK file somewhere else so you dont lose it.

Then, open the route in RE, rebuild the TDB
All is well again:-).

Regards

Easy to fix, I've had this crash dozens if not hundreds of times. Look in the route builders sticky thread for the simple answer to resolve this.

Moderator Note: I moved this because you are more likely to get help in this forum. Especially because, as Martin says, it ain't that bad...

Release

Post by JonathonAG »

To the creater of the MSTS Sodor:

Will you be releasing your sodor route as i have seen screenshots and it is superb. I know it crashed but if you can get it working in the near future, say around Feb 2005, can you please release it on UK Train Sim and can you make it that you only need the Settle & Carlisle route for it to work :-?

Will this route include both standard and narrow gauge lines?
Also, are you planning on releasing any Thomas models like Donald and Douglas and Diesel 10 ( On Thomas and the Magic railroad )

I know it's a rubbish movie, it is a disgrace compared to what it would have been if Chris Awdry would be in charge, I just want diesel 10 so I can bash him up in an activity, show him that steam engines are waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy better
