Hi All,


After updating to the last version of OpenRails Unstable to test Peter's latest work on the glTF implementation, my glTF models were not shown anymore. Looking at the logs I found the following error:

Warning: System.IO.FileLoadException: f:\defaultor\trains\trainset\rz ns 3700\shapes\ns3704-1935.gltf f:\defaultor\trains\trainset\rz ns 3700\ ---> System.Exception: Unrecognized header "{

I also remembered this topic on the BNSF scenic route. I looked into the builds that happened in between, and build U2023.03.02-2321 2023-03-02 23:28:17 is the first version to show this behaviour.

The build logs do not immediately point me at a certain PR that would cause this, but it is rather worrying as it seems that only traditional MSTS files with the SIMISA-header are accepted at the moment.

Hi Robert,

The PR of the z-fighting fix has some conflicts to be resolved with the gltf branch. Nothing serious, but unfortunately it can't be technically resolved until the former is entirely merged into master. So the latter has to wait for the former, until then it is blocked due to this merging conflict.

Ah, that explains. Then I'll wait until the PR's are merged and the merge conflicts can be resolved.

The former has now been approved and merged, so the latter no longer has to wait http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

Thanks Chris, the latter is also back to business again. :-)
