Tips in Debugging a BVE Route

Debugging any BVE Route could be a huge hassle with notepad, because BVE only gives you the line where the error is, but here are a couple of things you could do to make it easier

1.  Keep your BVE Route File organized in the first place, which makes it a lot easier than looking through a jumbo of coding.... when you do that, you know what it would feel like to be dyslexic  ;)

2.  Dump Notepad.  That's right, you heard me, stop using notepad to code a route.  Instead, you should use Notepad++ as a free, open source alternative, and it displays route files in a easy to see, very organized way and shows the line number, which makes it much easier to debug.  Here is a example of a RW and CSV file in Notepad++

RW

CSV

B3D

Pretty Organized eh?

BTW It shows you the line number ;D
