It's on your list. It's called Project Platform.

That may not be completely true. Routes are not saved by name, they are saved as GUID (I can explain that more if you like) which should be unique, even when you use the RW tools to clone it. Now I am not sure how you made your test route, but I suspect RW is only showing one name, and yours was loaded after it loaded PP (thereby knocking it out of the list).

So there are two ways to go about this. The first is the simplest, but Steam would reset it if you verify the cache, and the second would be to correct the real problem.

option 1) Open the RouteProperties.xml found in your 'Content\Routes\00000009-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' folder. This is the PP route folder. Using your favorite flavor of editor (I like Notepad++) find this line:
Code: Select all
<English d:type="cDeltaString">Project Platform</English>


and change it to something else, like:
Code: Select all
<English d:type="cDeltaString">Project Platform (the original)</English>


option 2) Find the Project Platform route you created and do the same thing, but perhaps with a more creative name.

Note the name of the folder. This is the GUID I was talking about. Even though you will see several route folders named consecutively these are usually RSC routes. Routes you create, or clone using the RW editor will automagicly get a new unique route folder name like '629809bc-064a-460b-8daa-0a880ecd342e', and before you ask, yes you can re-GUID a route by hand if you needed to by changing the folder name, and appropriate references in the RouteProperties.xml (this is very similar to how you would clone a model to repaint it).

Hopefuly that is enough rope to be useful, and not do any lasting damage to yourself !!howdy!!
