Problems with making Activitys

[Sjoerd]

XML error in line 2317

<train pack="RET" file="5500.xml" number="5503"/>
<cab id="0" enabled="false" ai="102"/>
</train>

Fix that, and the activity appears in the menu.

But that does not solve everything; the simulation crashes to desktop when starting the activity.

I can't exactly see what the problem is, but if you remove the trains & services of the Airport Shuttleservice (which should be alright as your activity is about line M2), then the activity will start.

is there a way to convert a text document into act.file which is a must for custom activity

[PetttRocket]

is there a way to convert a text document into act.file

Copy all with "Strg + A" and then put it into a new editor file and then save it and name it ???.act

[Selbout]

i will try thx

[Sjoerd]

"Strg+A"? Don't you mean Ctrl+A (select all) -> Ctrl+C (Copy) -> Ctrl+V (Paste)?

Just rename the file with .act on the end.
Before you do, make sure that you have the windows-function "hide known file extensions" set to OFF. Otherwise you might just end up with "filename.act.txt", which won't do you any good.

Hey, I quickly took a look to your file,the error come form the "yard" section.

If I take the first yard :

  </yard>

There are 2 errors here :
- First, you open a "Yard" block, and close it two times.
Because of this the game is lost and don't know what to do with the part after the first </yard> and before the second <yard ........>.

- Then, every "shedule" part must refer to a part of the day. Here we have :

<shedule name="AS" time="15:00:00" autodepartures="15:45:00" autoarrivals="18:15:00">

<depart code="411" train="4113MP" target="MLW" time="05:33:00" ai="true" track="A10" direction="1" units="3" stop="3"/>
[All other trains going in or out of this depot for this part of day]
<depart code="306" train="3062MR" target="MLW" time="06:14:30" ai="true" track="A08" direction="1" units="2" signnumber="36"/>

</shedule>

As this part refer to the morning service opening, time; autodepartures and autoarrivals should happen before the first train departure or arrival.
So, after correcting the entire first "yard" block, it comes to something like :

<yard pack="Rijndam2022" file="DM.cty" departures="auto" arrivals="auto">
<shedule name="Morning(It can be whatever name you like but it's probably clearer that "AS")" time="04:56:00" autodepartures="04:56:01" autoarrivals="04:56:01">

I swiftly corrected your file, the game open it good, I didn't checked anything else.

If anyone spot something I did wrong, feel free to tell me

Hope that helps
