No entry widthRailWay

Hello,

 

I hope this is the right section for the Topic. I have this error on two maps but I just tried two. I think the error is on much more maps and I want to solve it, because the game is crashing to often with this error. I was searching in the Internet for hours and all I found was that I have to find RscMapControl array in dialog and add "widthRailWay = 1;". I know how to add this, but I don't know where I have to search for. Let's say I had not the best note in programming at school :D. I think it's on my drive than Arma 3/saved/Steam and than are the folders who include the files where I have to add the specific line. But I'm not sure if it's right, because they was not very specific in the forum. Can someone help me where I past this?

Best regards

In the relevant mission file, specifically the description.ext, as designated by the error message.

Thank you for your answer. But where can I find the mission file? In Arma 3/saved/Steam is no description.ext file.

[Harzach 2517]

 Not the save file, the mission file. If you are getting this error with a mission subscribed from the Steam Workshop, you can't really fix it, as the mission file is downloaded anew every time you restart it. This is the responsibility of the mission creator.

Oh ok. So that does mean I can't really fix it and have to hope that it doesn't crash my game right?

It shouldn't cause a crash, but it's an annoying popup whenever you open the relevant dialogue (I think that was the issue). 

 

As far as editing the mission, it is possible, but it might take a little effort to actually find the file. But first, what mission is it? There might be a topic for it in the user missions section where you can download it directly.

 

Start the mission (so it's downloaded) then save and exit. You should be able to find the necessary .pbo file in:

 

Quote

C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Documents\Arma 3\Saved\steam\MISSION NAME

 

Assuming you find it there, next you'll need PBO Manager: https://github.com/winseros/pboman3/releases

 

(First option is the manual version, second is the installer - use this if you're not sure, I don't know your comfort level here.)

 

When installing, note the install location, or choose your own. Just so you know where to look for it in the next step.

 

Once it's installed, right-click on the .pbo you found earlier and choose "Open With...'

 

If it's not presented as an option (which it should be),  browse to the PBO Manager install location and select it.   

 

PBO Manager should open and you should see something like this:

 

 

Right-click on the mission folder (highlighted in blue) and select "Extract to ./MISSION NAME":

 

 

You should now have an editable mission folder in the folder where you originally found the .pbo. You might want to clean up the mission folder name, as it might have a bunch of URL encoding (the "%20" replaces any space in the mission name). For example, the mission I'm using in my pictures is showing as "Pilgrimage%201%2e951.Altis" when it should be "Pilgrimage 1.951.Altis."  To avoid this altogether, don't use spaces or special characters in mission names - I would change it to "Pilgrimage_1_951.Altis."

 

Move that mission folder to:

 

Quote

C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Documents\Arma 3\missions

 

In the mission folder should be a file called description.ext. You need to edit this file to fix the error. At the least, you need something like Notepad++ to edit mission files/scripts/etc. Regular Windows Notepad won't cut it.

 

Somewhere in that file you should find an entry that looks like this:
 

class RscMapControl {
	widthRailWay = 4;
};

Change the "4" to a "1" and save. 

 

Open the mission in the editor, click the "Scenario" tab in the top left, then select "Export", then "Export to Singleplayer."

 

You can now play the mission from the singleplayer scenarios menu.

Or, let me know what mission it is and I'll fix it for you.

Wow thank you so much for your help! That's awesome man, I really appreciate that! Now, I don't know why but it works without doing something. That's really strange. But if I get this error in the future (hopefully not), I now know what to do. Thank you so much man. Have a wonderful day!

https://files.fm/u/r3nkn2d3t - When i start a pre charged mission, that appears and the mission can't be created... Please help me, i don't speak english perfectly, but i'm really gonna be mad if not fix that error. I watch a solution everywhere and nothing:((.

 

Bro, i literally did not sleep at all last night repeating and repeating that process that you explained, specially because in the .ext file that you said the class widthrailway=4 does not appear

(I have this problem with MCC 4, my arma 3 version = 2.04 i think)

Update Arma to the current version. This is an issue with MCC, which hasn't been updated for over two years. Maybe someone can help you in the MCC topic, where you have already posted this question.
