CYZYRails issues & questions

Can't even get the program to download at all. The download link in the middle of the page is inactive, and the one at the top right does NOTHING! The button where I can buy the guy a coffee works perfectly


EDIT: I'm a dumbass... not seeing the "accept" block and not translating into English meant I missed it entirely.

Don't feel bad. I ran into the same issue. I used the translate function and the "accept" button disappeared. I finally went back and left the page untranslated and hit the button that I assumed was "accept" and it downloaded.

Now, when I tested the "fork," well--wow!--I did get super saturated colors and other neat appearance features. My only "complaint" was that the colors were almost too saturated for my tastes. I wonder if there is a way to adjust that in the program without having to actually change my monitor settings.

To clear the over saturated colors go into options and enhanced graphics and just uncheck the HDR...that should clear it up.......you'll still get the proper shadows and lighting...just not the reflecting water or the light glare. Hopefully in the future releases they will fix the HDR and allow newer sounds to be played. Other than that you'll be good to go

Trying to run a consist (ANY CONSIST) on one of my routes in progress... and I get this message.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or how to fix it?

Hi Chris,
I'm no expert but there seems to be something invalid in a VolumeCurve entry in a .sms file, possibly in one of the track sounds. That would explain why it occurs with any consist.

Cheers,
Ged

Seems very similar to my issue with my own route, except it's calling it illegal. Haha. Oh well.

If you have Erick Cantu's newer sounds it will crash. I got the same message intill I had to redo my sounds and the problem went away.

[tarrant75]

Hmm, It's weird. Shasta, contained in the same route directory, works just fine. Going to try it in a fresh install folder, if that messes it up, then I THINK you may be right.

Tried this, and my route still doesn't work, so I'm thinking it's whatever is hard coded into the route for certain sounds, like the TEM crossing bell sounds and such. Oh well..

[tarrant75]

IT WORKED... Put it into my TrainSimulations folder that has no NAVS stuff, worked PERFECTLY!

[trainlover2923]

Good to hear that Chris....Glad I could be some help.

[CSRX]

Zero idea how, but my route now loads up fine.. shrugs.

[trainlover2923]

Hmmm....that's odd....Since you said you were having trouble loading it.....I haven't had a problem with it since redoing my sounds

This isn't the first time where ORTS doesn't work one moment, and then does the next, and also opposite. Shrugs.

Unfortunately, some of the new sound features fall into that category of "new feature that absolutely breaks old versions of OR" instead of the far more tame "new feature that old versions of OR just ignore". This is one of the problems of trying to maintain forks. It might be a bit difficult to keep all the features in one spot, but once a feature is in the main OR version it gets to stay there even as new versions happen.
