Creating and import markers

[rapido]

Hello, I'm a new member.
I apologize if it is not clear, but I do not write good English, I'm aide with a translator.
I have a problem, I created a marker in Google Earth, I vonvertito the CSV file in Excel, I imported the blueprint, but when VATO in my itinerary, I see no markers. Would you be so kind as to tell me how to proceed? To make you understand I enclose a few pictures of my steps.


I saved the marckers as indicated fromto RailWorks guide on wiki



These instead are the values included in BluePrintEditor


Thank you for your attention.

Hi

A number of things -

1) RailSimulator is spelt incorrectly

2) RouteMarkers\flag.xml - Note backward slash not forward slash.

3) Kuju should have a capital K

4) The csv file should be entered RouteMarkers\markers.csv - again note use of the Capital letters and backward slashes

I am assuming that you have given the blueprint a name in the top field in English as I think it needs this to work properly.

The errors are probably due to your difficulty in interpreting English but generally file names have to exactly match the actual paths for the blueprint to work properly.

This works for Rail Simulator but I cannot tell from the RailWorks WIKI if the product name is still RailSimulator or RailWorks when exporting to RailWorks. You may need to experiment with with product names.

Thanks for reply.
So, the names at the top are correctly written, regarding the bar ""/"" I also added "" \ "", but the result does not change. Same thing for routemarkers rewritten RouteMarkers

I assume that you have clicked on the EXPORT button at the top. If all is OK you will get a message on the last line of the text at the bottom of the screen 'Successful build'

I do not have RailWorks yet so as I said above, the product name might be RailWorks and not RailSimulator.

If you get 'Successful build' message, the markers will not show up in the simulation unless you go into the World Editor in your route and turn the markers on. The WIKI does help here - http://www.railsimdownloads.com/wiki/ti ... e%20Manual

Yes in blueprinteditor, export went ok, the editor, I enabled the button to see the markers, in fact I did everything literally chge what it says in the manual, but I do not see the markers.
I'll be the unlucky one!

HI

I am running out of ideas ....

I see that places 02, 03 and 04 in your .csv file are all in exactly the same location. This does not seem right.

When you look for the markers in your route, are you actually located in you route at the point that the markers are positioned?

[rapido]

No! a moment the image of the markers I've taken from http://www.railsimdownloads.com/wiki/ti ... e%20Manual
just to see how I imported the markers.

There is something wrong in the procedure and I can not understand what??
I'm about to throw in the towel, I ask you all.

[Acorncomputer]

You caught me there, I did not realise that your image had come from the WIKI (in which case the WIKI example is not quite right!)

Unless someone else has any ideas I am not sure what else to suggest. All I can say is that when I have come across problems like this, I usually start back at the beginning and carefully go through tutorials and other documents and I generally achieve a result in the end.

One point to say again is that file and paths typed into blueprints must be in exactly the same format as the originals. Also, make sure that folder and file names are in the format of Separated_By_An_Underscore or RunAllTogether as names that have spaces between them are not always recognised by the program.

Thanks again for your availability.
But I give up, there are 15 days that we've hit my head, I read a myriad of information scattered on different forums, read the manual, procedures redone again, I also used various utilities such as rw-tools and others, but there was towards.
A final option would be, if not too much to ask that if you had a file of even a few markers that you work so I can try on my RW and see if it works.
Anyway thanks again.

Hi rapido

I do not have RailWorks as yet otherwise I would be able to sort out a file for you. Although Rail Simulator is almost identical in procedures to RailWorks, there are different file paths and names that i am not yet familiar with.

[rapido]

Thanks anyway, you were very helpful.
You soon

5) if named Marker, the file RouteMarkers\Marker.csv should appear only in the Named GPS marker file field.
The Series marker file field should left empty

Did you press F6 before entering Editor Mode ?
Did you check the little round button in the little lower left panel ?
Note that the marker flags doesn't show up if you're not close enough (at least it happens to me)

Hi riccardino
I did practically everything, I changed the impossible, I followed the procedure for those who have managed it, but nothing to me the markers that are serire or named, not seen.
It 'obvious that I do a mistake but I can not understand what it is.

Rapido
Did you set the markers visible?

Hi Stefan
I did that too, believe me, I do not know what else I can do.
