Orphaned Layouts Trainz 1.5 Build 404 (UTC)

[ChristopherT]

It goes something like this...

1. Build a layout and save it.

2. Test layout in several Driver runs.

3. Download new scenery from DLS and install it.

4. Open Surveyor and open layout.

5. Attempt to place new objects in scenery, they don't appear on scenery -
no picture in the Objects menu, but object is selected for addition.

6. Save layout and exit Surveyor.

7a. Open Driver, select layout, Trainz crashes to DT.
7b. Reopen Surveyor, attempt to reopen layout, Trainz crashes to DT.

The only way I've been able to save layouts that this happens to is by loading a blank baseboard into Surveyor and merging the bad layout. I'm wondering if there's an easier way to save the layouts?

Hmmm...

Perhaps what you are downloading is from newer Trainzs and not only will not work wit UTC but eill crash it?

It's possible, for the items that caused the most problems, they came from the DLS. It's possible that an item might have been updated for a later version and still be in the UTC DLS. Two of the items were the Civil War Bridge by Stryker and some Horses by Elevenor.

I also had an issue with something called the "Two Leaf Bascule Bridge" I found under the Canada region. I'm not sure if that item is default scenery or came from a layout I installed. I saw it on the list and thought I'd take a look at it, as soon as it hit the layout Trainz crashed. Lucky I had saved the layout under a new name so I'm still working on that one.

It seems to me that animated items seem to cause the most problems.
