Terrain errors via zip files...

[fchrist16]

I have an interesting quirk...I am sharing Tile/World files of a route in progress between myself and one other person. I am doing the primary track/road work and when I adjust the terrain, to the track/road level, it seems to not be adjusted for the other person in the zipped updates.

For reference I zip the following info for the other person:

Tiles folder
World folders
RDB file
TDB file
TIT file
RIT file

MKR/TRK files (as needed)

What am I missing in the zip to the other person? Just for giggles, I just sent them the LO_TILES and TD folder.

If you send tiles directory - it's fine.
Maybe he uses MSRE?

[fchrist16]

Goku, He started using TSRE for this route after trying it in MSRE, but only a handful of tiles are doing this not the whole route.

I'm bumping this to see if anyone else might have any ideas. We went through and deleted the WHOLE route from the system and re-span zipped the whole route as it currently is, sent it over, installed it and some areas are still different terrain heights than what I have and I don't see the issues he is having on my end.

Anyone?!

Have you tried installing the zipped route at your end, to see if the problem appears for you. I have found in the past that the terrain can become distorted by the zip process, particularly when the terrain is steep.

Most interesting. I had been restoring backups (stored in zips before) and myself had issues with terrain in TSRE. Similarly, I had initially created terrain in MSTS (Demex) & later on transitioned to TSRE.

1. Make sure that your route is not located in "c:/program files/..." etc.
2. Check if both of you use new TSRE version.
3. Check route in open rails.
4. Make sure that you both use the same quad tree mode set in settings.txt. Either both of you must have it enabled or disabled, not mixed.

Garry,

Since I am the one working on the route, I had not thought of that. The terrain change is mere feet but the tiles "block up" as if I never edited the terrain!

Goku, that last option might be it! I'll check with him and get back to you.

The last option: QuadTree mode in settings was it!

Then someone of you probably is using old tsre version.

[fchrist16]

We're both using the most recent TSRE on your server. It was the QuadTree option that was mis-matched between us.
