TranzDEM map error

[rwk]

I'm using TranzDEM, with terraserver maps generated and I'm trying to create a route between Binghamton, NY and Phillipsburg, NJ via Scranton, Stroudsburg, PA and when I try to create the Trainz file it gives an error message about the map instead of generating the route. Why?

G'day rwk,

Some indication as to the nature of this "error message" might be more enlightening...

Errors writing file "[Map Files Export]".

G'day rwk,

I thought that might be the one (I just wanted confirmation before continuing)...

...quoting from a personal e-mail received from the "good Doctor" himself after sending a similar enquiry in his direction earlier this year, regarding the identical issue...

...Most likely this is a memory issue. Your route will be something like 350 km or more in length. Sometimes this works, but only with small scale map clippings. More often it does not. TransDEM allocates a significant amount of additional temporary memory during export. It might not get enough.

I suggest to reduce the size of the export mask and export as two or more modules. TransDEM supports seamless merging if you set the mask to the same baseboard coordinates with a bit of overlapping. The "info" file, generated by TransDEM, will store the coordinates of all module edges as a hint for positioning the mask for the next module...
