help needed Tips for debugging custom schedules?

[iamblue91]

I've tried my hand at making custom schedules - I started small with STT and I tackled JFK. After a number of hours of checking planes, cleaning data, etc. etc., I've launched it, but it gets stuck at 54%.

I have the latest version of RT installed, and I have updated the airplanes and airlines file.

Any thoughts or help on debugging?

Look into the end of output_log.txt where the loading ends. Probably a missing plane type.

Ooooo thanks!!!!

Depending on how you wrote it you can use the application to search for missing plane types, terminal assignments, or other error's (Excel as an example). 

Then with the output log it can speed it up a bit.

Hi!

I too am getting stuck at 54% when I try and load my custom schedule for Barcelona. I did everything above but I'm still getting this error at the end of my output log:

IndexOutOfRangeException: Array index is out of range.
  at TM.StrTimeToFloatTime (System.String time, Int32 gmt) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  at DatTimetable.BuildTimetable (System.String ac_icao) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  at Game+<LoadMap>c__Iterator4.MoveNext () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  at UnityEngine.SetupCoroutine.InvokeMoveNext (IEnumerator enumerator, IntPtr returnValueAddress) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>

Does anyone know what this means and how I could fix it at all?

It sounds like the syntax is wrong somewhere. A semi colon when it's supposed to be a colon, the airport name incorrect, something like that. If you want you can post it, and we can take a look

I agree with @hexzed. Looks like a formatting error in one of the time columns, either semicolon or dot instead of a colon or a forgotten time column in one line. (At least, that's what the "TM.StrTimeToFloatTime" suggests.)

Here it is. The flights are in a weird order because I've been using some rather unorthodox methods to retrieve schedule data.

lebl_schedule.zip

I think I found it. In lines 239 and 240 you have two IB arrivals from MAD (IB 756 and IB 826). The arrival times are only 4 characters long instead of 5 characters. You forgot the leading zeros for the hour.

WOW. I never thought that something that small could break everything! Thank you SO MUCH! It works now! 

If all goes well my LEBL schedule should be out in a little over a week.

You're welcome!

If you encounter similar problems in the future, just copy the schedule and paste it into LibreOffice Calc (or similar) and on import define every column as text. By sorting the full table column-by-column and checking whether the respective order is correct, you might find the error a little easier. That's how I did it here and found the IB flights at the end of the table.

Good to hear that it's sorted 🙂
