CPP files are where the logic is being applied in TSRE.

I'll take a look. Are these from a set here or elsewhere?

The include files location is being parsed, but there should be more detail on that file's content, so it might not be processing the relative path correctly.

[Weter]

Thanks.
So, TSRE's own service file's format, right?

[engmod]

cpp = C plus plus, programming language, TSRE source code.

I found the GN 25096 boxcar, but it has no includes in it.

If you can point me towards the wag file and other includes, I can try to test.

Brings to mind a very tangential question: I assume something like Chat GPT would have an easy time converting c# to c== (or the other way around). Are there any benefits to do such a conversion on TSRE or OR?

Might either program benefit from asking ChatGPT to do Code refactoring?

Just curious.

Dave, see above for a question on your boxcar issue... I suspect you missed it since we posted almost at the same time.

Probably not much overall value.

All of the parsing routines for the files are already duplicated in ORTS. Maybe some of the logic for calculating TDB vectors and terrain editing could be ported over.

The GUI for TSRE is written in QT Objects, and would have to be refactored into whatever ORTS uses.

Linking up the GUI to display the world, world object selection and world object properties windows would likely have to be done from scratch.

Is there a chance to adjust the way TSRE uses Textures? as it is..there is NO control over how much of the texture used is actually used, you get a random sample ...so there is no way to really control the use of Textures or parts of them using the paint function on landscape making. this would be a HUGE help for people using TSRE which is overall an amazing improvement over the old editor. IT would be a marvelous change. also the chance to have small objects throw shadows would also be wonderful noting the size of a say wagon or human figure has a shadow. So we have to resort to adding shadows on each model not impossible but adds a lot of work to get realism. Really is nice to have this fixing going on.

I wonder if Goku himself might be willing to take on completing the activity editor issues now that they are known in such detail?

thanks again for this work!!!

Hello.
Are these available in 7.12 Goku's version, or only since 8.05?

What Player Mode for? Exploring route without risk to break anything?
Can moving upon rails (like train in MSTS) be done in player mode?

[eric from trainsim]

This has worked in version 7 and continues to work in version 8.

[Weter]

Thanks, Eric.
I find this feature very useful and plan to incorporate in cfg file.

So, what about player mode's purpose?
Is that, what we have seen in early period TSRE demonstration video (emulator of train rides upon MSTS routes)?

[eric from trainsim]

New testing version released.

Details at https://www.trainsim...-testing-v8-005

[eric from trainsim]

I have v8.005u available, which I hope will be the release candidate for the next stable version.

Any hope for rebuilding .tdb and .rdb?

The latest change finally includes a TDB rebuild for those who might have a clobbered route and want to give it a try for recovery, and some guardrails/options around the merge functions. It's destructive as far as interactives go, and there might be issues trying to recover DynaTrax if the local TSection isn't available or salvageable.

But, it has taken a few routes where I've deleted the TDB and RDB, and recovered every piece present in the W files including pieces that hadn't been added to the TDB originally. It allowed me to recover portions of a route I thought had been lost forever, and that I had only the W files for.

Same link as provided in the first post of this thread. Please add comments here if you wish, although I don't check here nearly as often as I do at Trainsim.

[Weter]

What to say.
Your ongoing work is a lot appreciated!

[CrisGer]

Great changes contiue thanks a lot for this continued work Eric, truly marvelous stuff.

One feature that i very much appreciate in TSRE is in the editor small objects like figures and vehicles have shadows. I continue to hope that this can be added to Open Rails but I know this is the wrong place to ask for that. Having used the old original editor years ago, I continue to love Goku's and now with your efforts the TSRE in evolution very much it is such a great way to edit and create routes.

thank you so much

Chris
