Magic Track

Unread postby imphantum » Thu Jul 04, 2013 10:49 pm

Well I opened railworks just now, and went to edit my route (which I have not yet announced) and it looks like the track played a magic trick, and disappeared! !*hp*! I didn't back up my route because I am an idiot, and so I don't know what to do. I really don't feel like relaying all of the track, so if anything this route will become vaporware if I can't get my track back. **!!bang!!**

Some examples... there is no track, like its not invisible and I can still click on it, but it is literally gone.

I highly doubt that the track was switch to the Portland Terminal invisible track. This has more to do with one of the track or mixed map BIN files getting corrupted.

Yet another reason to back up your work on a consistent basis.

If you press the space bar do you get all of the many colored ribbons?

Nope! All of the track simply disappeared.

My guess someone needs to go into the track in twtools, find out what the track is and let everyone know. I may try out Sundayto replace in case i run into the same situation. I know how to replace the track.

Actually, it was a mixture of tracks that disappeared. I was using scalerail along with NEC track?

Nec?? Not all people have that payware. I don't have it either. It needs to be all scalerail. Can't be mixed with nec and scalerail that would mess up the whole route

I see invisible tracks.
