Mapbox Crashing

[demando]

Ok, now that I've got the heightmap situation fixed, now I get an unusual issue where when I click on the button to load the map, and click on the Z17 image, the program gets to its customary 42 bits, then crashes. I'm attaching my settings if anyone wants to take a gander. Apparently I'm really rusty at this.

This line ist wrong

imageMapsUrl = https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/hje...=view&access_t oken=.....................&zo omwheel=true&fresh=true#2/38/-34

Please replace with

imageMapsUrl = https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/mapbox/satellite-v9/static/{lon},{lat},{zoom}/{res}x{res}?access_token=

I would not publish my API key.

So I've done that several times now, and nothing works. Also, Eric, could you kindly delete the file in this thread? For some reason my browser will not allow me to edit my post.

Try this settings.txt

settings.txt

This was what happened after updating the settings, Jan. Any idea what's going on?

It says you should look in your LogTxt. This is located in the TSRE directory.
Maybe the api key is not valid.

The structure of the map box URL is slightly different from a few years ago. I've also taken out the API key from the URL string and put it in its own field in the settings file.

What you could try doing is renaming your settings file, start up tsre, and use the default settings file that gets created because yours is missing. Then just transfer over the API value into the related string and uncomment out all of the map box related fields including the zoom offset.

Am I doing something wrong here? Because I'm doing what you're suggesting Eric, and it's just not loading? Does anybody have information on how to get the API key/access token to work? I'm really at a loss here.

I finally got the access tokens right, but when I click on Z17, it loads to 41 and crashes the program. Is there something I need to fix on the Mapbox side? If so, what?

Just found the answer here "https://www.trainsim.com/forums/forum/open-rails/tsre-route-editor/155491-mapbox-api-key" and was able to successfully get the API to work. Only trouble is, it doesn't like Z17.

Is the zoom offset set to -1?

I removed that line and the feature seems to work now.

You might have a false sense of security...

 //// Route Editor MapBox Tokens  
 // imageMapsUrl = https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/mapbox/satellite-v9/static/{lon},{lat},{zoom}/{res}x{res}?access_token=  
 // imageMapsZoomOffset = -1         /// required for MapBox  
 // MapAPIKey = {your API key}

MapBox made a bunch of changes after TSRE was finished, one of which was to change their definitions for zoom levels. the Z17 you might be used to with Google Maps is really Z16 in MapBox resolution. TSRE needs to change that Z17 you changed on the API call to Z16 to get the level of resolution you'd want.

I could have hard-coded the adjustment or changed the label dropdown dynamically based on what API credentials are provided, but I'd like to eventually set this up to allow both the Google and MapBox API to be accessible without resetting the Settings file and restarting the app.

Also, having changed the zoom definition once, there's nothing that says it can't change again the future or be adopted by Google Maps... If it changes and nobody's supporting TSRE, at least the adjustment can be made to retain the functionality.
