Updating route while retaining session,.

[Robert2d6]

If a route on the DLS gets updated, and one has already made an extensive session based on that route complete with AI, then the updated route won't have the session and one must start from scratch with the new route. I think I read that there is a way to edit the session one has created, and change the kuid numbers in that session to point to the revised route ( provided there aren't major changes to the revised route) What I need to know is what exactly what has to be changed, I think there are two places that the kuid has to be updated, but not sure which two. Thanks.

You would need to change the map-kuid and the kuid-table. For example the kuid of the old route is <kuid:522013:101207> and the new one is <kuid:522013:101213>. In the config file for the session you would change the entry that reads map-kuid <kuid:522013:101207> to read map-kuid <kuid:522013:101213>. Then you would look for the kuid of the old route in the kuid-table and change it to the kuid of the new route. Assuming that the map file is the first entry in the kuid-table, you would change the entry reading 0 <kuid:522013:101207> to read 0 <kuid:522013:101213>.

Before you make any changes be sure to make a copy of the old config.txt file so you can go back to square one if you need to.

Thank you to Bob for asking this, and of course to Rick answering a question I was going to ask myself.
