GWR Greg Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I have set up programmable buttons for my locos. All works okay except "Hogwarts Castle". Pressing this button does nothing. I have deleted and set it up again several times, checked to see if I can see anything different in the loco set up from the others. Position of the button makes no doifference. I have emailed HRMS who are investigating but no result yet. Any of you computer wizards out there got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm not up on this subject, but as the others work OK I would guess there is a simple typo in the Hog call up somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have emailed HRMS who are investigating but no result yet. Any of you computer wizards out there got any ideas? Go to the Railmaster folder and right-click on the file ProgButtons.dat. Select "edit" and this should open the file in Notepad. Notice anything which doesn't look quite right? I've just created a button bar with 3 locos on it and this is what my file looks like:- LOCO:Class 25~0018 Class 25 GreenLOCO:Class 45~0:0LOCO:Class 40~0017 Class 40 'Empress of Canada' BR green The 2nd entry for the Class 45 has been corrupted. I've had this before with buttons set up to run programs, rather than open loco windows, and I'm pretty sure I reported it. Oh how I wish I had kept a log of everything I've reported :-) Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96RAF Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 GregHog and the TT are the only ones listed with LOCO:NAME~number, whereas the others are all LOCO:NAME number~numberDoes this have any significance?I'm presuming the concatenation of each loco entry without spacing between them is just presentation and they should be tabulated per Ray's example.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWR Greg Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 RobNot how I expected list to appear. Part before ~ entered as description by me, part after~ taken by RM from loco list . How the first part is entered makes no difference and appears on button face. Second part is how RM identifies loco which loco button refers too.

96RAF Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I get the idea Greg.Must read up about it and have a play unless of course its a ProPack only feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWR Greg Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have found the problem. Which ever loco is no.1 in the loco list will not work from programmable button. Work round create dummy loco and set at top of list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
