Annoyed

Just spent about 8 hours on a scenario. I completely finished it and ran it through RWTools, where I usually write the description, and briefing and whatnot. cloned the scenario, started up TS2012, and now I get SBHH every time I start up the scenario . Helpp!!???

Check the consists with RW-Tool. See if they are like they're supposed to be.
I've has many problems saving scenarios in the RW editor, usually when I've been working for a few errors.
Also I had weird results in RW-Tools which were not real, after a reboot the scenario was fine.
These problems cease after a reboot, but of course it's too late for corrupted files, so I make lots of backups.

I have written a script file for quickly making a backup of a scenario folder, adding the timestamp to the folder name.

Double-clicking on the script's icon makes a new backup in a few seconds. I do it every 20 minutes or so, or before I go back in the editor. Instant versioning!

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
REM backup.bat
REM Backup of scenario folder RW to backup folder Work
REM Change values for RW and Work for your project
SET RW=I:\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\Content\Routes\00000032-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\Scenarios\57474de9-8eef-4fd8-9896-a76b1464693d
SET Work=D:\Users\Chacal\Documents\Trains\RW\MyScenario

rem Parse the date (e.g., 2013-01-01)
REM Note that the output of date and time is locale-dependent
REM This is for a YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS:MM format
REM You must change this for your own locale format.

set cur_yyyy=%date:~0,4%
rem the above line means take 4 characters from position 0
set cur_mm=%date:~5,2%
set cur_dd=%date:~8,2%

rem Parse the time (e.g., 16:20:08,69)
set cur_hh=%time:~0,2%
if %cur_hh% lss 10 (set cur_hh=0%time:~1,1%)
set cur_nn=%time:~3,2%
set cur_ss=%time:~6,2%
set cur_ms=%time:~9,2%

rem Set the timestamp format
set timestamp=%cur_yyyy%-%cur_mm%-%cur_dd%_%cur_hh%h%cur_nn%

rem Make a new folder and copy the scenario files in it
ECHO %timestamp%
CD %Work%
MD %timestamp%
CD %timestamp%
XCOPY %RW% /S

rem All done, show results and wait for a keypress
PAUSE
rem Clear the environment variables
set cur_yyyy=
set cur_mm=
set cur_dd=
set cur_hh=
set cur_nn=
set cur_ss=
set cur_ms=
set timestamp=
Set RW=
Set Work=

Chacal: do you edit scenarios in full-screen or windowed mode? I ask because I usually edit in full-screen and have found until very recently that TS2013 had no difficulties with my Shift-Tabbing in and out of it, even with the editor open (oops: I should say that I shift-tab out, but have to click its icon in the task bar to return). "Until very recently" are the operative words here: for about a week or so now, shifting in and out of the editor or even while running a scenario has led to SBHH crashes on a regular basis. I tried switching to running windowed, but the same results occurred. My best SWAG is that some RSC or Steam "upgrade" or other has led to increased instability, since nothing else about my system has changed.

I did not have SBHH problems, but I had problems with corrupted scenarios.
This was in full-screen mode.

Thanks for the replies guys I got the scenario to work again
