Had this error appear while doing my Route Riter ICHK

    'TrVectorNode(18451-12)': Connection between Shape-/Section-Id and UiD not available!
 ---> 'TrVectorNode(18462-0)': UiD-Number (-2653,13175,251) is NOT defined!

Looking at the point in game or TSRE, everything looks fine.

I opened up the world file & found the points entry (along with several others affected) looking as below:-

	TrackObj (
		UiD ( 251 )
		SectionIdx ( 29054 )
		Elevation ( 0 )
[b]		JNodePosn ( -2653 13175 -480.377 0.82434 977.392 )
		JNodePosn ( -2653 13175 -457.912 0.748574 940.051 )[/b]
		CollideFlags ( 39 )
		FileName ( A1tPnt10d150rLftMnl.s )
		StaticFlags ( 00200180 )
		Position ( -457.912 0.748574 940.051 )
		QDirection ( 0 -0.225227 0 -0.974306 )
		VDbId ( 4294967295 )
	)

Notice the JNodePosn line is duplicated, with different coordinates. I have not attempted to replicate it yet but I believe this is either due to flipping the point (using X key) after the piece has been added to TDB, or similarly not deleting & laying a new point when the point has been moved.

Doing a CLRTDB at this point results in the point being deleted from the world file but remaining in the TDB. At this point the point has been deleted from the .w file, and the only way to recover is either some very dicey .w file editing or manually removing the TDB lines in TSRE, and putting in a new point, & re saving the whole thing. This can be troublesome when there are many points affected.

Deleting the incorrect line in the original .w file seems to solve the problem. Note this has to be done before any TDB rebuild in route riter, which if you do, will result in the entire entry of the affected points being removed from the .w file.

Found that this has been reported before.

However I'll leave my thread here as a helpful solution to anyone facing the issue.
