In fact the only minor issue I have is a slight stutter when the scenery detail slider is on normal or high with the other sliders at max value. Smooth as silk if scenery detail is on low. this is unheard of on my humble computer. I will play with the slider settings a little more as I am sure there is a better compromise re the stutter.
I have kept the TS12 pre SP1 install just in case, but I am really loving the 57720 version so much.
I will report back after testing in a heavy yard area and with other trains about.
That's all for now, Andrew.
sorry to hear you leave.
Well if Open rails has a modeller similar to trainz or better, if the dbase of 3rd party freeware objects to choose from is similar or better, if there is a way to "move" "recreate the same DEM, networks, road,splines and locations of existing objects ....what else.
I know the problem, and there is no easy solution.
As for the assets, there may be a way forward. Most assets are built with some kind of 3D modeller, and if the raw files (before export to Trainz) is at hand they can be exported to MSTS as well.
I am sure we will never get to a quater of a million assets, but right now N3V is voiding a batch of these, so..
I not need all dls items so far 400 are faulty in my trainz dbase. ouch but can live with it for the moment.
thanks for your support dear friend say hello home from all of us!!
New version of CPR Mountain Sub TS14 release 1.0.5 now available.
just uploaded the 1.0.5 release which runs very nice and is the best ever driver version so far in 10 years! Scenery and quality is beyond expectations and a complete surprise probably for N3V too they never check or report things anyway.
OGL is now finally the way to go and has better fps too when tweaking your Nvidia.
Personally I am most happy with driver as the speedtrees and my textures now do VERY well!!!
I just made a free roam around Your route and the memory usage peaked at 2,454,000 Kb, so Trainz definately uses more than the usual 2 Gb. And, no locking or long thinking pauses.
Roy, thanks again, I have donwloaded all 1.0.5, do I need all these if I have the previous version?
If you dl already earlier revs deps you not need to dl again same.
Chris thanks for the link it seems to work better than expected!
Is there a way to undo the 4GB patch? My trainz.exe file is changed, cannot apply patch #2. Thanks.
you run into the same booby trap too like me.
Currently i make some backups of older TS212 versions to an old HDD but a slow one. After done I will than carefully upgrdae another 57720 on my SSD and install same way you do.
I lost my major HDD backup disk incl my original TS12 files from trainz setup. Not in the mood now to see if i can dl them again from trainz... Maybe when we finished supplying N#V with all the bugs they will fix them for the next TS14 for sure and use us as their testers like always.
there is and never will be a rollback from them so when goes wrong you have to uninstall reinstall crazy but true as far as I know.
keep me us posted and you can post in roy doors thread so other can learn from it.
That is Your original file. Just delete the Trainz.exe and rename tha backup.
Ok guys this evening uploaded tons of kuids upgraded to trainz build 3.5 to be used in TS12 49922 and 87898.
If your interested dl the 5 groups on the deps page of your profile.
Roy, just found your website by chance, looked at your route pics. they are the best I've seen. You are an artist.
For all those using the CPR Mountain freeware route with s301 ZR grasses which unfortunately not do the job at all. I did replace them today but the route is not updated yet.
Here is a way to use replace assets and you can dl via your profile the Pofig-JVC frewware cdp with the grasses needed.
I did work on a proper replacement for the S301 grasses for the freeware grass version of the CPR route.
I thought that those from jvc in the pofig lib could do the job till one decides to change/upgrade to ST_2 grasses if he/she likes them more.
find near track following item "ZR~(Gr-1)Grass R-Dark green-2 mtr"
open in surveyor main menu replace assets and place this object in left side as assets to replace!
click current selection only to make it replace all in the route!
"3D1_Pg-JVC_gr1_22" is asset to replace with!
3D1_Pg-JVC_gr2_58 asset to replace with!
In case you are not familiar with I can make tomorrow a short video how to but bet you know this command how to use.
Roy, a query please. I am in the process of writing a Session for CPR to be uploaded (hopefully) to the DLS.
I have the freeware S301 grasses at the moment. If I replace them with the 3D1 grasses does your map still retain your kuid?
If I upload a Session with S301 grasses will other players with other versions of grasses still be able to download and play a Session from the DLS?
I not have experience with creating sessions to that level of detail how trainz would handle it bit from the surveyor handling this it should work as long as the other side has the same grass it will show that grass.
Most probably the session would have missing deps (grasses) if the other party not have those grasses in his/her dbase.
We have to test this and see or discuss with other more experienced session users on the forum.
The eeasiest and most forward way for you however would be to make these grasses Gr... now used mandatory to dl and install when someone dl your session.
I have never used Replace Assets before so I'm not sure if it also replaces your kuid with mine for the map. That would be no good to upload a Session to the DLS.
I'll play safe for the moment and keep to the S301 grasses until my Session is released. After that I can experiment.
I think you are right in that another player would have missing deps but that should'nt affect the playability of the Session.
BTW, what is the correct spelling. Illecillweat or Illecillwaet? Both are used in the map. I would like to know the correct one for use in html messages.
Before you release any session on the dls make sure that not inadvertedly parts of the payware route are linked or available thru the session on the dls.
I never used sessions in depth but I think i saw once a large route file linked in the sessions data file that was the major part of the route.
This we have to avoid you understand.
Replace asset is easy and handy so pls use it and let me now the new grasses do the job.
Illecillewaet is the correct name.
I understand your concerns about people getting hold of your route through other means. That will not happen with me. I shall be uploading 2 files to the DLS when ready. One is the Session and the other is a HTML file which will contain the instructions, messages, etc.
Nothing of your route is included apart from your kuid in the Session config.txt that gives the map being used. What this means is that if someone hasn't bought the route and downloads the Session, they won't be able to play it as the route will be a 'Missing Dependency'.
With your permission I'll add into the DLS description that the Session uses a Payware route only available from you at Roy's Trainz. You never know, it might bring in a few extra sales! If someone has already bought the route then everything is peachy.
I've started the Session at Revelstoke CPR Yard and have now reached Illecillewaet (correct spelling thanks).
I'll tidy up here and save a backup to external HD before I try replacing the grasses.
thanks for the nice post and agree with you.
Sorry for the late approval of the post.
My webmaster adviced me to go this cumbersome way to approve outside posts since hackers/spammers keep bombarding the website relentlessly what fun they think they have is unclear to me but this world has more unclear habits and things happening.
Thanks for the reply. I agree with you, these hackers are a menace.
I installed the grasses ok but what I feared would happen, did. I could only save them in a new map with my kuid. This of course is no good as I need to upload a Session for use with your map, your kuid.
What I think I'll do is to continue on to Wakely and stop there. I'll upload the Session and explain that it can only be played with your S301 map. I'll wait and see if there is any positive interest/feedback before deciding whether to carry on to Golden.
Don't bother replying to this post. I'll put future posts on the Forum and let N3V worry about the hackers.
If you go into the config of your session and change the route map the session refers to than, anyone who has the CPR in any form but different grasses eg should be able to run the route/session.
When you have a test for me i can proof what I say when you ready.
I have done this dozen times when a session linked to an older CPR version I wanted to link to a newer, changed the config map kuid the session has to run on and done.
I understand what you mean when updating Sessions but this is your own kuid on your own computer and Trainz recognises this.
When I replaced the grasses I can only save it in my kuid which Trainz gives me, like it or not.
For instance: your map 122860:100035, after installing and saving the new grasses has now become 90608:100027, the 90608 being my kuid.
This is fine as long as I don't want to upload the map to anywhere. It may now be in my kuid but doesn't belong to me.
I think the way to go is to release the Session with the default map 122860:100035. I will add an instruction on how to change the map kuid in the Session to whatever they have on their system. This will not infringe your copyright as any player must have bought your original map before they can update grasses.
All very complicated so I'll leave that for now until I get the Session finished.
I'll come back to you at that time to see about testing.
defying 58414 little critters and bugs the Rogers Pass passed my QA tests with "flying colors" after crashing first time after 2 hours without any normal reason than the exisitng Trainz bug.
The route is now ready for dl for those interested in a 58414 1.07 version of this section.
About wich trainz TS12 versions support my routes. Simple and straight forward ALL releases work 100% and dependencies of the route are all working and links for dl provided. It cannot be more simple and all in one place.If for any reason you feel well with the 49922 version dl this one from your account profile.I use the 58414 as the driver here runs particularly well, but earlier versions no problem.
Can i ask what the file size is for the whole Route please Roy ?, Like to download the whole thing mate i am on a limited wireless service here and it would take for ever to download if the Route and Deps is too big. And does it only come in a winter version ?. Loks pretty cool the whole thing.
sorry I just now checked the blog to see for comments that need approval. Many times hackers and sorts of try to ruin one's day and for unknown reason and sick pleasure that never works at least not with us.
Ok the size of the entire route is a cdp/zip 199 MB! not that big even for a limited internet connection and my site has fast acces so dl would work fine.
The deps are all grouped in smaller ones and also setup to fit as you said ltd acces internet connections.
I am very pleased to see you around here and we would be more than happy to welcome you to our community. You will love it and yes the winter/seasonal groundtextures for a auto pre and post winter experience is included.
Check my thread there are somewhere also winterpictures around.
This should get you on the tracks with Roy's trainz.
Thanks Roy i'll certainly grab it at sum stage mate, Few other projects i want to take care of first though so thanks again.
Hate to be a pain again mate sorry but can i ask one more question, If i have not updated to the latest patchs for TS12 can i still use your Route ?. Or would i have to patch to the latest build ?. Thanks Roy.
yes when you purchase my routes it will show you what to dowload for eg. 49922 WIN and MAC version and in case the 58414 release the coresponding CPR route working/updated for the version of TS12.
Also I did "update a lot of built-in and other used cdp's to actualize them as far as feasible to run well on 58414.
these routes look awesome, i'm currently downloading alot of stuff for other software and will buy CPR Mountain Subdivision in a couple of hours. I hope the download includes everything needed to run the route because i'm new to Trainz12. Thank You Roy for your work of Art :) Harry from Montreal, Canada.
you make my birthday a complete success. thanks for the very nice comment.
Welcome to Roys Trainz and YES there is one page containing ALL needed deps at your fingertips.
OMG, WOW! Roy you're awesome! I just finished installing "Rogers Pass" and I am in shock at how beautiful the route looks in TS12. Your payware even looks better than Railworks TS2014......BRAVO!
Do you remember if I have all the routes when I bought the $70 combo? If not, which one do I not have? Curious, thank you for all your hard work and beautiful creative things.
The 3 in combo means that you bought the CPR Mountain Sub from Ottertail all the way to west of Revelstoke.
I made for a limited time 3 separate "smaller" routes cutting/overlapping with the huge CPR MOUNTAIN connecting them via Iportals.
The "smaller 3 sep routes" where temporarily I want to allow people to taste at "entry" level before deciding to go for the big one.
Some users liked the smaller ones to run a few hours i.o. of 9 up all day.
