In the manual on page 121 in the example box, the first line reads: include ( ..\bc13ge70tonner.eng )
I suspect from my experience with the include-trk file that a single backslash is not allowed and causes OR to crash.
It must be either a double backslash or a normal slash.

So the line should be either:

include ( ..\\bc13ge70tonner.eng )

or

include ( ../bc13ge70tonner.eng )

In all other cases in the manual the proper version "../" is used.

Yep, in agreement here, reported in the above thread, but i never filed a bug report for the manual...why don't you do that.
That will make two of us, although I suspect it isn't considered a high priority. Thread is informative, especially Jovets post #14.

At the time of this edit, I've had an opportunity to read your other posts, you know much more about this than myself, I found your posts and answers from OR developers educational.Makes me wish I had taken the time to learn about computer languages in my day.

Fixed in X4233 by using "../".

Is the digit "1" in the second line under "6.10.10 Activity weather randomization" correct? I suppose there should be a "0".

You are correct. I've fixed it in X4255, thanks!

Hi James. Looking at manual x3997 Timetable mode is out of date. It does not take into account the big timetable update in may17. For example 11.5.5 No Automatic coupling. But automatic coupling is now enabled. These changes are well documented by Rob here: "timetable changes"
http://www.elvastowe...170#entry220170
This isn`t easy to find even for an ET member, and unavailable for outsiders. I think it should be in the manual. But Rob clearly states this is preliminary documentation, so perhaps his view is needed.
will help if I can, rick

Hi again,

thanks for correcting so far James!

Further I found a tricky typo in Localization Manual.pdf page 8 item 5, took me some time to realize:

"..\Source\3rdPartyLibs\GNU.Gettext.Msgfmt.exe -l fr -r ORTS.Menu -d . -L GNU.Gettext.dll ..\Source\Locales\Menu\fr.po"
but it should say:
"..\Source\3rdPartyLibs\GNU.Gettext.Msgfmt.exe -l fr -r Menu -d . -L GNU.Gettext.dll ..\Source\Locales\Menu\fr.po"

and in two pot files I've found this little typos
Contrib.pot -> Activiti Description
RunActivity.pot -> WEATHER INFORMATIOPN

Thanks for finding the documentation from Rob, even if it's going to be time consuming for someone to copy into the manual. I won't have time this week to do it, so if someone else thinks they can do it (preferably they'll have some experience with reStructredText, the format used) feel free, but also ask if there are any issues.

Well spotted! Fixed in X4259 (although manuals only update in Testing versions).

The second one is mine. :( Also fixed in X4259, along with a full update of the .pot files, thanks!

Thanks for fixing it, James!
I'll look up in how far the full update of the pot files are relevant for the de.po.
