Actually my own. Lily loves me when I'm at the computer. She gets in my face, steps on the computer keyboard, climbs all over me, swats at the mouse cursor, and zaps the electronics!

not trainz related but funny,
Many years ago we had a rescue Old English Sheep Dog, and he was very loving and craved attention all the time.
My Father-in-law came for a visit and was sitting reading the paper one morning and the dog decided he wanted his attention, so he lifted up one of his front paws which was about the size of my own hand and with one swat my Father-in-law was sitting there with the 2 pieces of the paper where he was holding it on his hands and the rest was scrunched up in his lap under the dogs paw.
He gave dog a little pat and fixed paper up and continued to read it, dog not happy with this little show of attention decided to become a lap dog, and proceeded to jump into father-in-laws lap and as we walked into the room there is father-in-law pinned into the chair with 64 kg of dog in his lap getting his attention and not considering moving.
:hehe: dog always got his attention when he wanted from then on.

Becky,
I can picture this! My neighbor had a big Rottweiler that though she was a lapdog, and would put part of her backside on your lap while the rest of her was on the floor. My own dog leaves squeaky tennis balls around for us to step on so he can then grab them and throw them down the basement steps.
To keep the thread back to Trainzing...
Do don't you hate it when.... You decide to "just check something" in Trainz before you go to bed and end up staying up 3 hours longer! Being retired now there is not too much of a problem other than medication being off schedule, but when I was working, those wee hours came awfully fast.

Don't you just absolutey hate it when ... people quote screenshots
Don't you just hate when people quote a whole mess of screenshots ? And all they say is: "WoW ... That's cool" !
I think a moderator should be put in place, and that moderators only job is to monitor people quoting screenshots, and for that elected moderator to have one job only: to remove peoples
tags ... so that only the link to the photos shows ... I volunteer for the unpaid job position.
Quoting screenshots is totally unnecessary, when a link is all that is needed.

I agree... The posts would have to be reported so the moderators would know if there is something to remove.

I hate it when I can't blame the wife for this kind of interruption. I seem to do well enough providing my own! I'd STILL be in google translate! // F
Somehow I don't think Windwalkr and Hilliam get how much that happens... how sometimes you just have to get away from it for a while, as the continual struggles to make progress just pile up ... and they don't want to fix problems in CM (Ever have so many conditions in the search pane to keep things squared away... there was no room for anything else--yet that's NOT the current search when you have to go main display to add that asset to the DLH. And so you loose the search. Or How I hate it, when a date defaults back to today in a filter... CM can't tell time, assumes everything is fixable in today's go... or forgets, when error fixing we really did mean yesterday! Why should I have to output kuids to a text editor just to save a list to add the DLH in a batch, cause it forgets to save that complicated search?)
Know for sure that's in TC3, I had to turn it off as always. MIGHT be useful if it would prompt ME then... could delay it AFTER I with my human judgement figured I'd finish said complicated series of interrelated editing/shaping/texturing tasks... but instead it freezes the machine. Have it let me give it a GO AHEAD NOW, and it will get used. WHEN IT HIJACKS my attention, time, and saves at an inappropriate moment... No way I'll ever use it. // FGood Evening All
The last few (not sure exactly when) editions of Trainz have included an 'auto-save' system, which we recommend having enabled in case of such an event. It does mean you might (and most likely will) see a pause for a few seconds when it saves, however this saves you hours or re-doing the work. The setting for this is found in the in-game options, accessed by going to the 'main menu' drop down on the top toolbar, then going to options.
As of TS12, Trainz also saves a separate 'autoback' copy of the route (and session, if appropriate) if Trainz crashes (this may actually be saved when the auto-save occurs, however I have not checked this). This may not get saved when your computer shuts down on you or similar, but it will generally save the route if Trainz crashes. As to if the route is un-corrupted, this would really depend on how/when/where/etc the crash occurs, but it's always worth checking itRegards
It was NEARLY just right for my eyes, not like this ant font we see in Session Editor or even the Trainz Route Menu descriptions. These kids don't know who their users are, nor how they screw us over. Wait until Hilliam gets into his late 40s and 50s, then maybe we'll catch a break. // F

Yesterday I spent 3 hours setting up a route and went to save but clicked Don`t save. Three hours lost.
Mine 2 cats are rescues too; the dog is a rescue of sorts. My sister didn't want him and gave him to us so he's been rescued too I suppose. I like the idea of a grounding strap though. We really can't complain though. The two cats bring us gifts - usually socks and shoes they steal from the bedrooms!
The do help when it comes to Trainz too as they sit and approve my track laying skills so it's kind of hard to chase them away.

Route killers/Crashes:
1. Corrupted assets, they allow you to work on your route until you get to their base board, BAM! Work around, delete base board.
2. Corrupted session or route config. You will be working/driving on your route and BAM! For some reason CMP will not flag these as corrupt and I had use Asset-X to do a verify, found kuid table corrupted. Deleted table and re-loaded, worked like a charm.
3. Using the replace assets sometimes will cause a crash, especially with track splines. Save you work!
I use the auto-save set for 30 min, it's been a work saver for me. many don't like it.
