Hi Goku,
I got a message from someone using the TSRE AE to generate ORTSWeatherChange events.
Here a WeatherTransitions.dat block:
ORTSWeatherChange (
Name ( "Wetter 1 heiter" )
ORTSOvercast ( 0.7 20 )
)


You translate it in the .act file into
ORTSWeatherChange
             Name ( "Wetter 1 heiter" )
             ORTSOvercast ( 0.7 20 )
             ORTSFog ( 0 0 )
             ORTSPrecipitationIntensity ( 0 0 )
             ORTSPrecipitationLiquidity ( 0 0 )
)


The three lines with the zeroes shouldn't be added.
Thanks for attention.

The values are optional? You can specify only one?

Also only one line can be specified, like in my example above, where only the ORTSOvercast line is specified.

Hi Goku
Your route editor has moved on at great pace and has rather left the instructions on the home page behind. I don't want you to update them as you should concentrate on developing the route and activity editor further.
I would like to have a go at writing more up to date instructions for you to approve. I could start with "Setting up a new route" and "Placing track and objects". It is a long time since I did web pages so pdf would probably be the format.

I have thought this needs doing for some time but have been enjoying building my route so much that I could not be distracted from it, but today I have hit a problem with the tdb, I don't know what I did wrong, but my backup of 19 November is the last one without the problem. So I need a bit of time away before starting again.

If you would like me to progress I will be looking at the forums.
Garry

1. You can make your instructions if you want. I will update mine when TSRE hits 0.7 version.

2. You can tell me more about this TDB error.
If TSRE crashes on load, maybe it's known "NaN" error? It's new bug introduced with new track elevation and should be fixed in 0.7 version.

Hi Goku
If you want to up date the instructions yourself, I see no point in having 2 versions of it. But if you would like me to write a first draft, then send them to you to use/change, so that you can concentrate more on the programming, then I will continue, if not I will leave this to you. I hoped this would be a help to you.

My tdb problem, I have put this on UKTrainSim
http://forums.uktrai...?f=238&t=148654
It is not a TSRE problem, it is something I have done wrong. A track section has two blue number instead of one above the blue pole. Deleting the track leaves the blue poles and yellow tbd lines in the route. If I select the track and press Z the editor crashes.
MSTS is no use as it crashes when it starts to rebuild the track database.

There is an interesting reply. Move the tile out of the way and ignore the problem. I will think about this.
Garry

EDIT
I got this slightly wrong. I have edited the tdb file, changing the tile number from "5812 14716" to "5812 14715". The "problem" track is still in the tdb but now is away from the main line.

It's easy to remove broken TDB lines in TSRE.
1. Stick new track, for example a1t10m to first line and add it to TDB.
2. Then use Hacks -> remove TDB Vector in TrackObj properties.
3. Repeat for all broken lines.

Never edit TDB file by hand, because you will destroy it. It can be done only if you know everything about this file.

Thanks Goku.
As you can see in my post above I have moved the problem away from the route area. So the problem is now not so important.
But your "Hack" sounds good. I will restore my route to its problem state and give this a try.
I will let you know how I get on.
Garry

You say "Never edit the tdb file by hand".
First take a copy of it and save it somewhere safe, then you can do what you want and if you break it, just restore the original.

Hi Goku
You are a genius!!!
I did not know that "Hack" existed, but it has sorted out my problem, and the wrong tdb lines have gone. Each of the 6 tracks needed 3 hacks. The first reduced the blue numbers to one, then the blue numbers disappeared and the track joint was just as normal, finally the yellow line without track disappeared.

Is "Hack" a part of TSRE or is this another program? Never heard of it.
