messed up hierarchy

[eric]

I tested Fleegle's fix earlier today and it works as expected. Will be updating the original file by early next week.

I'll give a recent example, I only recently discovered that TSRE had a live multi person editor, and asked about setting it up. The functionality is currently broken.

Out of curiosity, what exactly is broken about it?

I've never used that functionality myself, so I genuinely don't know.

As far as I know the code itself didn't change from Goku's 0.70xx builds to Eric's 0.800x builds. So, if it's due to a missing networking dependency or something then that should be fixable.

I'm guessing a missing DLL or a QT component that needs an include. There are some method calls failing.

I find it eye opening that roughly half of the people responding to this thread are not alarmed when discussions favor possibly relieving some of the MSTS compatibility requirements for very good code advancement reasons, while the other half are genuinely shocked that anyone would harbor such thoughts to begin with. I guess they live in a siloed environment of sorts, thinking compatibility claims made 15 years ago should never change according to technology conditions and still be honored today, and then they drag in all these argumentative claims that the future is somehow dead for Open Rails without their MSTS holdover needs being continually accommodated. Very insightful thread.

If ORTS developers would really like to keep the program compatible with legacy MSTS content, maybe fork the program into legacy-oriented and future-oriented branches. Legacy-oriented would be just maintenance-based updates while future-oriented updates would be incorporating new features.

Either that or keep an older version of ORTS on the server and refer MSTS-oriented people to that version.

There are a few members of the Community who seem to have the opinion that, because MSTS is almost 25 years old, it should be ditched altogether.

I think you are bit hyperbolic here. Some members who believe the time is coming to alter compatibility does not equate to a conspiracy

It should not be forgotten that MSTS IS the foundation for Open Rails.

I do not buy this argument that some obligation exists with Open Rails to drag the slow adopters along, anymore than you can lay claim that Run8 should somehow embrace compatibility with MSTS to help the same crowd. You need to stop selling it.
