Testing v8.003

[eric]

Testing version 8.003n is out

This incorporates the Status window for all modal indicators:

This had been added in part to the Navi window but the goal was to get this on its own form.

For now, it's showing the status from a keystroke or button click elsewhere. Next step is to replace some of these with buttons to trigger the related settings, but that's going to take a lot more testing than I want to allow for before releasing 8.003 later this week.

Will keyboard shortcuts for these functions still exist?

Yes

If you have versions M or N.... Don't try to save routes with it as you may cause TDB corruption. Version K is still safe from what I can tell.

I've rolled back the source and will be rebuilding the changes from versions M and N over the next week or so.

Doing a little debugging, and the potential for route corruption may be more limited than I thought. The routine which was failing is the "DeleteNulls" function that tries to reclaim and renumber the TDB structure... it's something that Route Riter and TS Utils did as a standalone function to compact the size of the TDB. It was throwing exceptions which caused the sim to crash hard without finishing the save, and the corruption only occured if renumbering had started but never finished.

I hadn't touched this code, which was even more baffling. It's now commented out, which means TDBs won't shrink but they also shouldn't be corrupted. Instead, they'll have empty nodes and null nodes as items are removed, which shouldn't cause problems since MSTS had the same issue...

Still testing, but it's looking like I didn't lose 5-10 days of work.

Version 8.003p is released. This disables the procedure which was causing a crash while saving and subsequent TDB corruption.

This version adds a prompt for saving when track is added or removed from the TDB -- this previously did not kick off the Unsaved Data warning.

Data precision is rolled back to 7 decimal places at a maximum, which appears to have minimized and possibly eliminated broken vectors (slight deviations between the end of one piece and start of another) as well as excessive places for what should be one and two digit decimals on TrItems like speedposts.

Due to the data precision changes and possible negative impact on the TDB, ensure you have backups prior to making changes.

Hello!

Would it be too much to ask to go back to the old navigation system (TSRE5 v 0.7)? It used to be much easier to move freely, where the mouse was pointing and with the cursors. Now it's horrible, you have to press the bar and another key at the same time to go up and down and there is no way to position yourself in the places with precision. Either that or someone explain me a way to place the yellow lines in a higher position in v.07.

I don't know if it happens to anyone else but from v.08 on, there is a constant dance of the textures of the routes in the mountains that, at least to me, are driving me crazy.... Thank you very much for the answers!

In settings.txt, apply the following:

LockCamera = false

Thank you! I had just discovered it!
