Adding shapes, textures from another route

[JSMR]

So I've been touching up a route, adding some grass and weeds here, some tree's there, objects etc etc. I've added some shapes, textures from some other routes into the route I'm using to enhance it some more.

Making a short story long, but in one route, there are so many objects I want to use. But trying to find the exact shape files, texture, ref description is time consuming.

Can I simple just copy ALL shapes, textures and ref descriptions from one route into my own route or is that asking for trouble?

Hi Folks,

You should be able to copy all objects without issue.

I made a drag and drop tool that speeds up the process for single items.

What is in your shapes folder currently?
If you've just started and don't have more than a few then I would suggest downloading a copy of the Monon route and incorporating the shapes and textures from there. There's a lot of good stuff. https://monon.org/mws/rws/downloads/...e-download.htm
You can just rename the .ref to your route's name and add your current .ref entries to the bottom.

Thanks mate. I do have a few routes and in my current route it has quite a lot of stuff. But I'm never satisfied and want more. lol. I'll check that one out. Thanks!

Scott,

Thanks for this program. It's a real time saver.

I enjoy adding scenery to existing routes and this program is a great help.

Hi Scott, I remember downloading this, but I never made the time to look at it, and I must do this now. Does your tool also copy the snow/night textures, etc?

Hi Neil,

Yep - it searches the source directory recursively - after reading the shape to get the respective texture names - it will recreate the directory structure at the destination if it doesn't already exist.

If you're not planning to release the route publicly and don't care about the size, copy as much into your directory as you want.

Something I've been slowly adding into TSRE is similar to the Route Riter function the ability to detect shapes and textures NOT used in a route directory. The shapes are already being listed out, and as time permits, I'm validating textures. The output of that check could easily be used to run a batch file, or possibly a future directory cleanup function in TSRE.

Ah good to know a well. Thanks. And no, not releasing it publicly.
