AI Traffic Path.........wont save...........Why ??

[CPR_Malice_96th]

Hey all,

I am just messing around with a couple ideas on some switching activities.

Here's the problem, I go to create a new AI Traffic Pattern / give it a name / then after entering the name in the second pop up display, I get this message ...

Now is this because of..............

A. There are no signals in this Route so therefore no AI Traffic allowed

B. Is it cause the Editors are a piece of junk ( I didn't think they were till now )

C. Is it that I'm a HUGE IDIOT and am missing somthing obvious ( be honest !)

D. Or is there actually a problem ( this is the answer I DON'T want )

Thanks for any input

Tim, Since I can't see the file name, I am just guessing. I have gotten this pop up for two reasons. 1. The file name already exists for someother traffic, either player or AI. 2. The file name contains 'MS reserved' characters.

I decided to take a look at my NNJ Route folder.

There was NO "Traffic" folder in there ?????

So I added one, now all is fine again

Thanks anyways for the info

Tim, it's the 'MS reserved' issue. I believe I see a '/' in that file name. That's a no-no under MS. Change it to an umderscore and it should work.

Hi Tim!

Good to see that someone more is creating an Activity for the NNJ route! Welcome to the party!

I was thinking of creating some more for that route but yesterday I read that Teemu soon will be releasing v.8!

So, personally I will wait for that before going on! My idea is something around the Elizabeth port area!

Tim, As further information here, this issue goes back to the MS_DOS days and the protocols set then live with us still. Here is a direct quote form the MS help file that lists all the reserved characters.

"A file name can contain up to 255 characters, including spaces. It cannot contain the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > | "

Hope this helps.
