Feature Requests Implemented

[eric]

WFH is a tool I've sold as donation-ware for a while.... also available in the library here for First Class Members.

TSRE only needs to create a new invisible object with a position and elevation. Of course - ORTS will have to play a long with a new camera definition - but it’s nothing new - Carlos was attaching cameras to just about everything for a while there.

Scott, is there any reason why that can't just be a JSON or DAT file with the position and elevation, and not saved within the route's normal W file?

Eric,

This is all great and I appreciate your efforts. But one thing, could you provide some instructions as to how to load this new version on our/my PCs. I see a lot of files and have no clue as to
how they relate or should be loaded.

Modal Indicators... there are some actions within TSRE that are toggled with a keypress but there is no indication of which state you are in at any given time... Having even an LED-LIKE indicator to show status would be helpful.

I'm referring to things like the Q key or / key toggles... as an example.

I started work on this. It will be a floating window initially above the Navi window, and about the same size.

[eric]

capture_500444.jpgpwillard The hard part for showing the modal status is done -- there'll be a new window for this and it can be moved about as needed.

I've also added parameters in the settings file where a preferred location for each window can be saved. That might help CSRX with the multi-monitor issue.

This feature does exist in the consist editor

I assumed it could refer to that, although I don't see the use for it for me, I normally only work on one object and it is the one I am interested in reloading when I make some modification.
But if you can get all the objects to refresh, welcome.

Is there a centeralized Github account for source code for version 8.x code. BTW I also have a way to automatically to build release .exe without using NetBeans. Need only to have Qt 5.15.2

[eric]

Yes, the 8.002 fork is synch'd to github.

[wjcurrey]

what is the link address. I don't see it under Goku's account.

[eric]

Also, if QT is set to false, TSRE will continue to make damaged routes.

Good to know....

GokuMK Can you suggest a way to limit the ruler to have clicks form a polygon or a line? Dragging a line is creating dozens to hundreds of points.

[rdayt]

I delete the ruler and its lines when I'm done using it.

Id also like to see TSRE be more “mouse-click” operated. I’m terrible at trying to remember keyboard commands for programs and I think being able to point and click to what you need would make it a lot easier

Not sure if this is along those lines, but I added a tweak into the upcoming v8.003 that will let you use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in/out when the camera is in free roam (e.g. without an object being placed or edited).

It works in conjunction with the shift and the control to increase / decrease the zooming speed. Much more convenient to me than using the arrow keys or the W/S keys.

Request from Zbyněk Šemora the Route Builder from the Czech Republic

The Route Bratislava /Hohenau - Brno - Praha/Bohumín/Dresden
21 years of the Bratislava - Prague project 2003-2024

"And what else can it do? The only thing missing in the editor is the display of the trolley, so that I can fit the TV poles in the arches exactly according to the bend in the wire. And also if it were visible on the tracks, where the trolley is active and where it will not be displayed. Then there wouldn't be so many errors in the game.
Otherwise, I have no comments. Maybe if the refresh still worked like in the MSTS editor. When I copy an edited, improved, same object or another change, in MSTS I just need to jump a certain distance to the side and go back and the changes are displayed. In TSRE5, the editor must be completely closed and reloaded. Which delays." - translate Google

The newer version 8.002 in our file library has an height adjustment parameter in the settings file for the yellow line so that you can set trolley wire properly.

Setting ---> wireLineHeight = 6.7 <----- will display the yellow line at 6.7 meters.

Refreshing without saving and exiting by jumping several tiles away and returning is a possible enhancement I am already looking at.

Novější verze 8.002 v naší knihovně souborů má parametr nastavení výšky v souboru nastavení pro žlutou čáru, abyste mohli správně nastavit trolejový drát.

Nastavení ---> wireLineHeight = 6.7 <----- zobrazí žlutou čáru na 6,7 metru.

Obnovení bez uložení a ukončení skokem o několik dlaždic a návratem je možné vylepšení, na které se již dívám.

I would wish for two things:
The first is actually already mentioned, the reloading of the route. This would not necessarily have to be done by jumping away and back, but could also be a ReloadRoute in the menu as we know it from the Shape Viewer. The route would simply be reloaded while retaining the camera position and viewing direction. Sometimes I can't refrain from messing around in the WorldFiles by hand.

Secondly, it is very difficult to recognise in which direction the red signal pyramid is pointing when setting the signals. You always have to position the camera over it first. Perhaps there is a possibility that this pyramid can cast a shadow or that the incidence of light on the sides can be displayed differently.
