Hi,
It works beautifully, Carlo. Great idea!

We have come up with new ideas, but I have to wonder if there is a sticky post that keeps track of these ideas until added to the manual. I will usually perform a save on the post to archive important information.

A description is being added to the manual.

Cheers,

That's wonderful, thanks Carlo, and thanks Scott for the thread.

Hi Carlo,

Sorry to be a pest - I'm running X2930 and I haven't been able to get it to work... Here is my activity file - I believe I made the necessary changes - but - I don't see any change in the way the activity behaves - it still freezes on every event... Am I missing something ???

Number of downloads: 170

Snip of activity file:

	EventCategoryTime (
				EventTypeTime ( )
				ID ( 0 )
				Activation_Level ( 1 )
				Outcomes (
					DisplayMessage ( "First thing you need to know is our entrance to the yard is from the west side. So disregard your track monitor for now and put the engine in reverse. Back on up to the switch that will make your entrance from the yard. I'll be here to point it out." )
				)
				Name ( Time0 )
				Time ( 5 )
				ORTSContinue ( 1O )
			)
			EventCategoryLocation (
				EventTypeLocation ( )
				ID ( 1 )
				Activation_Level ( 1 )
				Outcomes (
					DisplayMessage ( "You have to backup to the switch, don't go this direction. Put it in reverse." )
				)
				Name ( Location0 )
				Location ( -11317 14150 -985.244 -773.135 10 )
				TriggerOnStop ( 0 )
				ORTSContinue ( 1O )

				EventTypeLocation ( )
				ID ( 2 )
				Activation_Level ( 1 )
				Outcomes (
					ActivityFail ( "You did not successfully complete this Activity." )

				Name ( Location1 )

				ORTSContinue ( 1O )
			)

Scott,
looking with a Hex editor I have found that your zeroes in the ORTSContinue ( 10 ) line are not zeroes, but capital alphabetic Os: you will in fact notice that the shape of your "zeroes" in ( 10 ) within your file excerpt is not the same as the one of the true zeroes (see e.g. Time0 in your excerpt). ;)

Perform the replacement and things should work.

Hi Carlo,

OMG - I typed "O"'s - are you kid'n me - and I'm and IT guy - I tried it a bunch of times - now I'm really embarrassed - let me crawl back under my rock... Thank you...
;)

Scott

Not a problem, I arrived quite fast to the solution, everyone can sometimes catch a red herring (do you say so?) ;)

Hi Carlo,

Now that I have it working after I pulled my head out of my... WHAT A FANTASTIC IMPROVEMENT !!!

Way to go - sir... I no longer - - - dread - - - those activity stopping event messages... We can relay information freely without worrying about interrupting immersion...

Thank you so much - this just gets better every day...
:huh:

Scott
