Ability to mass-delete certain objects

[geepster775]

Is there a function in TSRE to mass delete certain scenery items from all W files? Route Riter had that ability. I would hate to lean back on that. Its all about scenery, nothing track or TDB related.

Hi...

Eric's TSRE settings look promising - but I couldn't get it to work.

#objectsToRemove=""

Yes, the "ObjectsToRemove" tag will do it. Comma separated values for the shapefile names, and yes, they have to be a static object. There should be a guardrail in the testing versions of 8.005 to prevent deleting a TrackObj. I've deleted over 100 different .S files in one pass.

Hi Eric,

Very cool - I'll have to try it again.

Hi Eric,

I tested again - placed a single "tree1.s" on the route.

I tried to see if deleted - with and without quotes - saved the file and went back in - tree1.s still present.

Is there any action required to initiate?

Using version "S".

// FIXES
#autoFix = false
objectsToRemove="tree1.s"

I'll check. That should work if it is uncommented.

Hi Eric,

I tried one more time.

objectsToRemove = tree1.s

Charlie Brown is still one happy camper.

OK, there's a dependency here. It's in my version of the Settings.txt:

 objectsToRemove = ""  
 
                // requires ListFiles and LoadAllWFiles
                // Comma separated list of shapefiles to remove. This will only remove static items.

Some versions of the settings might have the wrong keyword "ListAllFiles" showing instead of "ListFiles".

Hi Eric.

Gracias amigo.

And like magic - poof - it's gone.

// REMOVE FILES (Requires ListFiles and LoadAllWFiles) CSV of Static Shapes
loadAllWFiles = true
listFiles = true
objectsToRemove = tree1.s

Yep... this had to change in v8.005 to avoid track shapes from being deleted in error.

I found that out the hard way because I did indeed enter in a trackshape name, and it deleted the shape leaving the TDB lines in place... now there's a check for the object type to make sure it's not a TrackObj.
