TSRE v8.005 Release Candidate

[eric]

Hopefully the final v8.005 candidate -- no more feature requests will be considered until v8.006 gets started.

v8.005 Release Candidate --- TSRE-ReleaseCandidate2-v8.005.zip

I have noticed a recent problem using this version of TSRE5, when I modify a .w where there is a hazzard then the hazzard fails, the ID differs from the TDB, I have checked it several times, I have opened tsre5 and checked the errors window with the autofix activated, I saw that it said a hazzar failing, then I added a siding to several .w where I knew there was a hazzar, when I saved and reopened tsre5 many more hazzard failures appeared. Looking at the .w and the tdb I have seen that the id has changed, or so I think, since I cannot find in the .w the id that does appear in the tdb for a certain hazzard.

This didn't happen to me before and I've used this same version. The hazard that failed at the start of the test I did appeared after modifying some speed signs, so I don't understand what happened from one day to the next for them to start failing when modifying the route.

Check spelling in the W files. There was a change made in an early testing version that used Hazard (correct spelling) but that was causing issues in Monogame as well as some 1.5 testing versions, so it went back to the wrong spelling Hazzard.

Hi,
I've changed all Hazzard references to Hazard in tdb, tit, and .w, including "HazzardItem." While it works in OpenRails, it fails even more in TSRE5, deleting the objects (if I leave autofix enabled).

Is the change from hazzard to hazard only done in OpenRails, or is it also integrated into TSRE5? I'm not sure what to do to fix it, or if I'll be able to fix it.

Hi,
The default MSTS routes each contain several 'hazard' items and all run OK in Open Rails.
I doubt if there is a token for 'hazzard' so suggest that use of that word is reported as an error in both OR and TSRE, just as they would for any other mis-spelt key-word.
NOTE : Hazzard was a fictitious US county in an old TV series! Probably where the author of the route containing that word got their spelling from!!

Cheers,
Ged

I have the route linked in github and I have reverted the changes before hazard errors appear in the tsre5 errors tab, I have opened the .w and I see that some are called hazard and others as hazzard, but in the tdb and tit they are all called HazzardItem

Actually, these hazards are quite old on the route, I don't know how they are set since it seems that tsre5 doesn't allow it.

Hazard wasnt fully implemented in v7. When I have time, I'll double check how its implemented. Its not something I've come across in too many routes.

[albertosaurio65]

Okay, thanks so much for your time.
Is there a temporary fix for these errors? Or should I just disable Auto Fix and ignore the errors?

Another thing I don't understand is the option for superelevation settings in curves. I don't know how to make them visible in tsre5, since setting it to true in settings doesn't seem to be enough.

Ged, Hazzard Kentucky is not a fictional place! (Although some aspects of the Appalachians do seem like they must be fictional for those unfamiliar). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard,_Kentucky

Hi Christopher,
Thank you for that information
However, I note that even that city's name is spelt with only one 'z' !!

Cheers,
Ged

Hi,
I'm commenting again, but this time about a question.
Can the units in the Consist Editor be changed? They're not in metric units, and it's quite annoying having to convert all the units to the metric system every time I need a piece of data.

PS: Regarding hazards, if I use the old version of the tsre5 website (7.012), there are no problems in the editor. I can edit the route and no errors appear in the error window later. What's changed in these new versions?

There's a setting "useImperial = off" that will provide you with Metric values.

albertosaurio65 Please give the updated release candidate a try -- I reverted all of the Hazard handling to what's in 7.012 with one exception, which is showing the properties of the hazard when selected.

slipperman -- I found something with your FFEdit replacement... it skipped *.ws files on a folder conversion.

Thanks for the units thing. I was looking for settings like metric or something like that, but I didn't think to look for imperial.

Regarding the new version, I haven't tried much yet, but I have tried one thing. The or log says the Hazzard token for the .w files is unknown, so I replace it with Hazard and it fixes it. But then in tsre5 it says the TDB doesn't match the W. There weren't any errors before the change, so I don't understand why the error is coming up if the ID hasn't been changed. Perhaps the objects that were listed as Hazzard don't exist in the TDB and should be permanently deleted?

I still have to try modifying a zone with a hazard. That was another issue with tsre5. Modifying anything else, like adding a siding, would break the hazard. But I don't have time to test it right now.
