    Some tracks do not show up in TSRE

    Route generated using Goku's templateRoute v0.6. Some tracks do not show up. Even the shape file is not visible. Possibly a XTracks issue...?
    Edit: Happens in ALL routes. Example: a1t80mStrt.s
    I'm not able to place a 80m straight track on any of my routes.

    Code:

    I will check in my Route Editor, but I believe that is not a standard track piece, default or X-Tracks. Busy with other things at the moment.

      Checked, that piece in NOT in my Global folders, so IS NOT default or X-Track, it's a costume piece. You'll need the Global folder that was used to make the route. Use 2 X 40m pieces instead.

      Note - I have a fair number of payware routes, and thus have track pieces showing that I do not have the shape files for in my Global Folder so won't load if I try to use them. The shape is most likely are in the Route's Shape folder, not sure how you can get to use those, and are probably copywritten as payware.

        Hello, I don't own any payware routes. I have not copied any stuff from any route, let alone paid/free. I don't know about my GLOBAL folder, but I can confirm that the entry pops-up in TSRE. I have just started laying tracks on a default generated route by TSRE (it used the templateRoute0.6). I have been trying to follow this guy (https://www.youtube.com/@Bhartiyarailstudio/) and most/all of my A<num>t<num>r0_<num>d.s shapes are missing, but they work for him.
        I do not remember in which video I saw him using the r0_, but he did use it. When I checked in mine, they're not here.
        The IRTS website (irts.in) offers a GLOBAL folder, I'll try replacing mine with it and report back.

        Meanwhile, I'd like to know where the shape and texture file files of the tracks are stored. In GLOBAL or inside the individual routes' folders...
        Also, how do the foreign routes have those "blocky" vintage MSTS-style tracks while the Indian routes utilise the newer smooth tracks? If the shape files for the tracks lie in GLOBAL, shouldn't every route reference the same?
        Where are the tracks defined? <=> objects are defined in the REF file

        Thank you for reading :-)

          Update: It was fixed with the GLOBAL folder from irts.in

          The global file from irts.in is ~70+ MB and mine was merely ~50MB.


          Update 2: Only the r0_ stuff were fixed... a1t80mStrt.s still doesn't appear and some other files still missing
          In case this info is useful, there's also a lot of V4hs2t_NP1 stuff that doesn't show up, but I don't know their use and they are not relevant to me.

            You need to download and install ATracks from the library here.

                I actually have them all installed in separate folders outside of my ORTS installation. That way when I install a new route (I have mine all set up as mini routes), I can copy whatever is needed from whichever relevant track package. Sometimes it's not obvious to me which track package a piece comes from, but a simple search of each track package will tell me which one(s) the specific route needs.

                  In the TSRE settings.txt file have ignoreMissingGlobalShapes = true and you will not see track or road pieces for which you do not have their shape.

                    All four won't hurt. Start with default content installer, then ATracks, MTracks and the Tunnel Fix. If you'll never have tunnels or US specification track with 4m track centers, you can skip the last two.
