Route mishaps.

Post by ZEUS1425 »

Some routes, e.g Woodhead Line, LMR South 1960's, and others just show up as a sky. I dont understand what is wrong, they're not faulty or anything, just not showing up. :(

Need to save them in TS12 first and then import them.

OK having done some investigation and I don't believe anything is impossible I had a look at Woodhead and cracked it!

Open the routes for edit in Explorer.

1. Open config.txt

Find the Region tag and change it to

Code: Select all

region                                  <kuid:-25:926>
This is the kuid for the UK

2. find the Water tag and change it to

Code: Select all

water                                   <kuid:523:19723525>
Often blank in old routes.

3.
Delete the asset filename tag
Not needed

4. In the editing folder you have several files, for Woodhead they will be:
config.txt
Woodhead.bmk
Woodhead.gnd
woodhead.obs
woodhead.trk

Change woodhead to mapfile as in
mapfile.bmk
mapfile.gnd
mapfile.obs
mapfile.trk

Then Submit the route.

You can add a thumbnail for it by going to Manage Content, click Content at the top then automatically generate thumbnails.

Do the same for any other route that has the same problem, all route related files are now called mapfile.then the extension, saving it in TS12 would have done the renaming automatically, I learned something tonight though, there is more than one way to skin a cat!

Bad news is the Woodhead or the one I looked at isn't finished, however it is a DEM so you could finish it yourself! It's also very bright so in surveyor go to menu Edit environmental controls click one of the dots on the clock and dial the water and environment settings for Red Green and Blue back to the 12 oclock position or wear sunglasses!

Should be fairly obvious that I have just done it successfully and it didn't crash here otherwise I wouldn't have posted how to. I don't post fixes I haven't tested first!
