Do we need more random scenery or no?

[pwillard]

What I based it on. (loosely) Just a heads-up.

Also... My plan is to have one with a reasonably developed interior and one with all roll-up doors closed and no interior

Ok, early release is done. 2 versions... one with open doors and an interior and one without an interior and closed doors. Very little in the way of optimization has been done. It does show up in ShapeViewer... you have the source... optimize away...

For a change of pace, it's been uploaded to TrainSim for once.

Absolutely fantastic! Another hearty thank you!

I fixed some texture mapping issues that don't matter if you don't reskin or modify it.

Hi Pete,

I downloaded and installed the 2-door buildings, however the 2 door open shape refuses to show up in TSRE 7.012. The closed doors building shows up no problem. Both buildings do show up in shape viewer. I'm at a loss here . Any suggestions?

Peter

Edit : I need to rephrase this. The shape file shows up on the list in TSRE and I can select it, but when I place it on the terrain there is no image of it, yet all the information is there saying that it has been placed. I hope that this is a bit clearer.

Check the shape's spelling in the ref file.

I do work on these as "some assembly required" projects versus the "packaged product" approach. Sorry if that's a stumbling point.

[peterman]

Good morning,

Thank you, Randy!!... there was indeed a spelling error in the ref file (missing "L"). I also added the missing quotation marks on the Description line. The other thing I noticed is that the shape file calls for .ace files, but none are included in the download but yet it still appears in OR. The newest Shape viewer exhibits it well, but Route-Riter kicks out an Error 9 message. Anyways, it now functions properly and is part of my route. Thanks again.

No apologies necessary Pete. Nice work!

Peter

Another thing I started this afternoon. Not sure what led me to start it... a wild thought, I guess.

Still needs some rooftop greeblies. ...and I probably need more movie posters...

[CSRX]

This would be awesome to have, and maybe the ability to change movie posters through the .sd file for seasons.

So like, spring time could be some sort of Jurassic Park movie and/or some kid movie.
Summer could be another sci-fi movie and kids movie.
Fall could be a Halloween movie or another kid movie.
Winter could be a Christmas movie like Christmas Vacation, and another movie like Frozen or something for the kids.

Just a thought, but a movie theater like that is definitely needed for a lot of routes.

[pwillard]

I need to refresh my brain on the way to do night textures before I even think about seasons. ;-P

I agree and another thing that is badly lacking is modern coal handling equipment. I have used some of the objects from the Powder River Basin route in the library which are good but not appropriate for eastern roads - for example, the silo in the PRB route is the type where the train is loaded by going through the bottom of the silo, whereas there was only one mine like that in the east that I know of and it is long gone. The loadouts in the east are seperate items and usually not enclosed, whereas at least one in the PRB route is nice but it is a enclosed type. We also do not have a old style wood tipple that was common on small operations in the eastern kentucky area in the past.

Jerry, do you have example images of what you are talking about? (I guess I can look at the PRB)
