Testing v8.005

[eric]

It's possible, depending on what options you have enabled and how many interactives you have.

Try setting viewTRLabels = false and let me know if that stabilizes the memory usage.

Also make sure TileLOD is no greater than 2. That'll cause problems on heavily populated areas or detailed terrain.

[eric]

Ok, I duplicated the memory issue, and it's definitely the labels. They're not updating on each frame redraw but they're duplicating thus the memory growth. I'll try to find a way to address that or disable it outright.

Disabling the labels with viewTRLabels = false should stop the memory overruns and performance degradation.

Only Info,
i use ‘Trainsim.Com Fork v0.8.005w’.
The parameter "viewTRLabels = " has no effect. Whether set to true or false, platform and sidings labels are displayed and they flicker.
Speedpost labels not.

Hi, Eric,
thanks for responding.
I have set “TileLoad” to “1” - with no effect.
The instruction: “viewTRLabels = false” has no effect, as Jan has also noted. The labeling continues to flicker.

I have tried to narrow down the problem:
TSRE-Testing-v8.005p = no memory problem
TSRE-Testing-v8.005s = memory overflow!
Test “q” and “r” are missing.

OK, I think I found the issue with both the token not working and the flickering/memory overflow. I'll have it posted later today assuming testing goes OK.

(It's posted as of 2030 CDT)

The next testing version (to be released next week) fully rolls back the issue with Hazard vs Hazzard. Something has changed between 1.5 and the current testing versions that's not allowing either spelling on the TDB.

If you find additional bugs please let me know, as I'm ready to lock down testing.

[weichenpfleger]

I have tested the new version: “Trainsim.Com Fork v0.8.005y” and no longer noticed any memory overflow.
Thanks Eric for the effort and happy Easter.

I have a suggestion for an improvement to the dynamic track flex functionality.

Quite often when using it the first straight track section is left enabled with length 0.00, like this:

Screenshot 2025-04-19 130502.png

This actually causes a problem with the new super-elevation functionality in Open Rails, because Open Rails thinks there is a straight section in the middle of the curve if that 0.00 straight section sits between two curved track sections.

You can of course just make sure to disable it manually, but I sometimes forget to do that. It's easily missed.

It would be nice if it was disabled by default if the length is 0.00 after using flex.

I did a test.

I downloaded the Y version fresh. No log entries, no settings file. I opened the RE once, but did not load any routes. Settings file created, first log entry created.

Newly built Settings file included

routeRebuildTDB = false // Requires unsafemode

unsafemode = false // Only set to true for risky features

I opened the Pokey route in RE, and the RE was fairly hostile to the route. It did a TDB rebuild even though settings were not set for such. When done, the interactives (signals, etc) in the route were gone. It really *did* unsafe things.

It also created lists of files used/not used. I swear, if the files not used were not included in the route download, the route would be half the size it ended up being.

Ignore the U folder, it has all the U version of TSRE executables in it.

Not sure why the attachment is balking

Evidently, the issue is with the newer Pokey route, not the editor. Other routes can open, auto-Horace, and still retain signals and interactives after an initial save.

I'm not able to replicate this behavior. The only way a real TDB rebuild would be done is if you get the Unsafe Mode prompt and acknowledge it.

It's possible that AutoFix is doing the unsafe things. Try setting that to false as well.

[eric]

It's definitely the AutoFix with the Pokey.

There are 3200 items flagged as not being the correct UID or not having a reference in the W files...

How do you edit the platform markers (interactive object) properties in the new editor. I can select it, but find no obvious way to change the platform name or direction. There are no properties displayed. I am also unable to select and drag the marker.
