Severn Valley Roure Editor

RobertM · Post by **RobertM** » Thu Aug 12, 2004 9:58 pm

I have noticed in the Severn valley that one or two signals on the line arn't doing there real job. For example, in Bewdley station the signal just before platform one (facing Bridgnorth) is on the wrong track. It is gaurding the siding and not the main line into platform one. Does anyone know how to get into the route editor because mine says:

Error reading editor object selection file
severn_valley1.re - Line: 0.
(YES) (NO)

It then goes back to the startup screen.

Any Ideas on how to fix this problem

Robert,

You might like to re-post this on the BluearrowTS forum which is down near the bottom of the list.

They are the people who developed the route and I am sure will be happy to answer your questions for you.

regards

Dan

A ref file was not issued with the route, preventing you from editing it. This is very common with commercial products and is designed to eliminate problems should a patch be issued that overwrites changes made by the user in Route Editor.

By doing this you can open up the SVR in the route editor:

1) Open up the MSTS folder, go to the TEMPLATE folder, find a file called "template.ref".

2) Copy the file into the SVR route folder and rename it "severn_valley1.ref".

You should now be able to open SVR in the route editor, but you will not be able to access the shapes in the SVR folder.

As the signal shapes are not detailed in the ref file but in the sigcfg.dat file they will be accessible.

However, you are not advised to alter the signalling, whether it is wrong or not, as this would/could affect subsequent patches issued by BA.

Not to mention the activities.

I thought BA had issued a patch that fixed this anyway?
