It seems as though I'm getting a memory leak from the latest few updates. Whenever I try to load any of the default MSTS routes, the editor loads up just fine. But when I try to load a route that I started with the old editor (and bear in mind this route has only track and sound source files), the memory skyrockets and uses 6000MB, and the editor chokes my computer to a crawl. What could this possibly be?

Can you determine first bad update? You can find all versions here: http://koniec.org/tsre5/data/
Or you can send me this route.

The old editor, as in the msts editor?????

I am having issues with signals and overhead wires. Signals all remain red in view but are on in track monitor. Overhead traction lines seems to be staggered...

Will your editor allow the present (many!) snapable object that are available in the trainsim.com file library to be used?

Yes, it is in the to do list.
But, even now you can use fast alternative for snapable object:

1. Place or select first object and press 'C' key to clone this object.
2. Click 'Transform' button, select checkbox on the top and enter width of this shape (depending on the shape it may be X or Z).
3. Enjoy perfect placed shapes.

I think it's time to work on graphics quality. Next version will include normal vectors.
But I have one question: how to determine if shape uses normals or not? For example 2D trees and grass looks ugly with normals enabled.

Please see the captures enclosed...Issues with signals and staggered traction lines. Traction lines are staggered at this area only.

I like the idea and have wanted to be able to use multiple microtexs for along time. The ability to use normals at all would be nice, or even displacement maps. One thing that has always bugged me is there are nice looking track out there and nice looking engines, wagons ect but the ground itself still displays blotchy ground textures that can hurt a scene. I think the ability to use wang tiles, or some sort of wang tile generation done within your program on the fly would be nice. Painting the terrain with your program is a great joy to do, but normals would help with not only objects in general but with grass, rocks ect. as well, as I mentioned with the multiple microtex idea. Not the most important thing, but the ground in OR/MSTS is lacking.

This topic is about app developing, not help build routes. Create new topic.

Everything you want is not compatibile with MSTS.

Regarding the last two posts, Open Rails does not even bother to use the MSTS _n.raw terrain tile files (apparently because no one has been able to figure out the representation). Open Rails generates the normals from the height map at tile load time.
