Consist scrollbar

[G.M.]

For my longer trains I prefer making consist files
and place those in sessions.

I took care of little pictures that show in the bottom consist bar
but for some reason, the 2 scroll buttons below in that bar do not work
I see only 12 cars of my train (its 18 parts)
is this just in my old build 100240 ?
or is it not working in all following versions of TRS19 ?
greetings GM

No one ever uses this?


Did more testing
TRS19 SP3 it does not work
T:ANE SP3 it does not work
TRS2009 SP3 (bought it but didn't put serial yet)
here it works, you can use the scroll arrows
and even remove individual icons from the bar (not sure if this updates the consist)


Don't have the versions between 2009 and Tane
So it's at least broken for 10 years??
maybe 1 for the lost features thread then

I saw it yesterday, but my system froze dead in its tracks due to faulty RAM and now a corrupted hard drive - yeah, the one with my Trainz content on it. I do have backups but not the most recent data with the most work.

I think this has been a bug for some time. I'm not sure if it was reported and lost because there was a problem with that during the early days of bug reporting. With that said, report it as a bug and see what happens...

It works in TS10 and TS12. It's not available in the latest beta (build 114022) of TRS19.

Given the wide variety of poorly sized and formatted images, and the fact that you can see the full consist in the 3D world, is this bar actually needed any more?
It looks ugly, is useless for looking at long consists, and provides less information than placing the consist in the world.
If you don't like the consist, use undo or delete.

Happy to hear if there are any benefits at all.

hi Tony,
just asking to please fix something that is in the game (since the beginning?)
that some content creators don't make their icons as required, I can't help.


it is handy because:
-consist names can be arbitrary
-you can see the length and vehicles before placing
-on a busy yard the visual preselection really helps
-when making consist (specially those where some cars are reversed) it helps



placing my Thalys where a few cars are reversed (added little numbers)


the working code is last seen in Trs12, you must have it there
good luck developing
greetings GM

I agree with these reasons to retain:

I don't use it and haven't used it for years. If I need to see what a saved consist looks like I add it to a section of track. The micro images you get on the bar are useless. My vote is to remove it.

 

[G.M.]

Not everyone uses every feature in Trainz
this is probably so for every piece of software
but if available and visible, it should work as expected
it's not open for vote, Tony decides how trainz develops
just hoping features are added not degraded or removed.

Then why did he bother asking for our views?

Happy to hear if there are any benefits at all.

Just offering my opinion.
