Winter TERRTEX in TSRE ?

[scottb613]

Hi Folks,

I've used Goku's TSRE pretty heavily in the TERRTEX department - while vastly superior to Mosaic in most respects - one impasse I can't seem to work around is Winter/Snow TERRTEX (short of maintaining two completely independent copies of any given route)... If you paint Summer TERRTEX in TSRE - the custom painted tiles are then missing from Winter/Snow season...

Anyone come up with a reasonable method to work around this issue ?

Thanks...

If work is ever started again in this area - we desperately need "SCALE and ROTATE" functions included for painting textures - as well...

Regards,
Scott

I don't know that you'd need two copies of a route, just two different folders of terrain textures that could be alternately named TERRTEX as needed. Unless, of course, a switch between seasons is added in future

Hi...

Thanks for your response...

Yeah - the rub comes in as you would need to keep track of precisely which tiles are modified - as they need to be the same in both instances - or I guess I could copy the file that contains the record of applied TERRTEX texture - swapping it out accordingly so the modified tiles won't have to match ?

Hmm...

Check experimental seasonal editing in new version 0.6976.

Enable seasonal editing in settings.txt and set the season, for example:

seasonalEditing = true
season = "Winter"

Then you can run TSRE and repaint your modified textures for a new season.

I just modified a route using TSRE (adding new ROW and roadside paint) that I previously made snow terrtex textures for using mosaic. I copied the new terrtex files created by TSRE into a folder, and used a batch file to create the same snow textures I had previously created, copied them back in to the terrtex folder. All done.

Now, looking forward to trying Goku's suggestion above.

Hi Goku,

Thanks so much - I'm eagerly looking forward to trying this...

Hi Goku,

I may be missing something - I downloaded your new 0.6976 I added the lines you posted to my "settings.txt"...

# seasonal terrtex
seasonalEditing = true
season = "Winter"

I opened the route in TSRE and the TERRTEX still showed summer (not SNOW) - I made some edits and checked the TERRTEX directory - the changes were saved to the normal (not SNOW) directory as it would before your update... The directory that has my snow textures is called "SNOW" - - - do I need to match your new parameter "season" to the name of an existing directory in the TERRTEX folder ?

Thanks...

Scott,

I'm not a TSRE5 scientist, but shouldn't you uncomment the line # seasonal terrtex?

Hi Randy,

Hah - good catch - but no - that's just a comment I added for reference in the file - the only two lines that count are the ones below it...

I did try matching the "season" line to "SNOW" vs "Winter" - - - that didn't work either...

Thanks for the response...

Download new version .69761

And use:
season = Winter
instead of
season = "Winter"

This is fantastic to hear. It is something I am going to try in the next few days and get farmilar with it.

This really is a tool that was really needed.

Hi Goku,

Progress - installed .69761 - set the settings.txt as specified - bingo - we have snow upon TSRE launch... My test route has a large number of custom painted (not snow) textures and it copied them over to the Winter SNOW directory automatically... So I have snow TERRTEX by default - but the tiles I already painted normally (not snow) are carried over in green... This is all good as long as long as from here on out - there are two separate lists maintained for which TERRTEX tiles are custom painted... There may be differences between the (not snow) - and Winter SNOW TERRTEX sets...

The next step for me - is to replace all the custom painted green tiles in Winter SNOW - with the default snow texture - so everything is white and I can start painting in Winter SNOW...

First issue - [Pick] and [Put] seems to be broken when using Winter SNOW... If I mod the settings not to use Winter SNOW - [Pick] and [Put] works fine again...

I hope this is clear...

Scott

In the monon-2 there is a program to do that............takes less than 1 minute.......

just copy your cutoms ones and put them somewhere and then paste them back and overwrite when your done, including the microtex....
