wierd how you have no problems and others can't get it to load. they do know it has a long loading time right?

[buzz456]

I went and ate dinner last night and it still hadn't loaded but I'll try it again.

??? only takes 2-5 min for me! check if you are missing anything. you must have one of the allaboard addons like fort kent or ohio steel because i used that template. wonder why it is working for one and not for the rest.

wonder why it is working for one and not for the rest.

I am not so sure it is not working for others. So far you have had 41 downloads and only two responses with trouble. My guess is that the other 38 and myself are not having any trouble.

[thecanadianrail]

i hope that is what is going on. i still would like to know why it doesen't work for you guys?

[thecanadianrail]

just an idea for you 2 guys, re-download the route, maby you got a bad download. it happens from time to time for me. redownloading it solves the problem for other stuff so maby it will work for you. good luck

I'm not trying to bust anyone's bubble, but I thought it might be prudent to jump in here with some download count number facts.

1) The download count numbers you see for any files are not to be taken as exact successful downloads. If you click on the download link and immediately cancel the download, the count number is incremented by 1. If you start the download and it does not complete for some reason (your internet connection drops for example), the download count is incremented by 1.
The only way around this would be to write a script that would only count successful downloads. That, however is not an option for this site as it would require hundreds, if not thousands of lines of code, could cause an issue with server security and/or visitor privacy, not to mention excessive server load requirements.

2) Not every download is made by members of this forum. As a matter of fact, I would estimate that only a small percentage of the successful downloads were made by members of this forum, or any forum for that matter.
There is a lot of RailWorks users that are not members of any forum. There are RailWorks users that may be members of forums in other languages and other forums around the world, not to mention the other English forums.
It is quite feasible that even if someone did download a file and had problems with a successful install, they may not be able to read, write, and/or speak the English language - hence they would not be able to contact the developer about their problems.

The best way to evaluate success or failure of a developers work is to go by the posts in the various forums and weigh the difference between comments of either successful or problematic installs.

I hope this helps.

I am not sure which assets, if missing would cause the kind of problems reported, but; I did notice when I ran your route briefly that you had some of my track related assets in the route. Namely the 30 meter turntable, the freight steel dock, and I guess the logging camp crane (although I did not run enough of your route yet to see that). All of these assets (especially the turntable) are tied into the track. Perhaps people having problems do not have these assets. I do of course, because I made them. Does your route package include the turntable? Lack of that track related asset may cause a failure. If that is the case, please feel free to include all of my assets with your route package.

[thecanadianrail]

no, i never included the turntable with the release. maby you should put it in the file library, so this doesn't happen with anybody else in the future. in the next release i will put them in with the route but untill then i guess people will just halfto download it.

"Something Bad Has Happened", wouldn't load

Ran RW Tools load of missing assets. Is RailWorks routes going to become a "Where's the KUID" as in Trainz.

Maybe there are no complaints because it won't load and people move on.

Downloaded and it runs fine.

[thecanadianrail]

[thecanadianrail]

i think i know why some of you are having problems, i never used the GN trackrule for the GN track, i used the PO&N trackrule!i forgot to include this in the readme!

[micaelcorleone]

i think i know why some of you are having problems, i never used the GN trackrule for the GN track, i used the PO&N trackrule!i forgot to include this in the readme!

So where can you get this track rule? (better you include it in your route)
