Getting frustrated with inaccurate (out dated), incomplete and scattered info.

surveyor-only 1 for kind track, I looked at a TS12 builtin, downloaded ones are the same.

My track for TS12 is fine. It's TRS2009 that's kicking my butt.

WE crossed when I was adding a bit look at the ones built in or on the DLS they are stitched mesh 2.9 see kuid:77174:100467

 

[jcardana]

I Did a search for kuid:77174:100467 using CM2.0 nothing.
Did a search for kuid:77174:100467 using CM3.6 found it.
Downloaded.
Saved to CDP.
Imported using CM2.0
Error: The Tag 'surveyor-only' is not permitted within a container of type 'track'.

I must not be expressing myself correctly. My problem is not in TS12.

If I use the invisible tag with a version of 2.0, I get no error. But I get errors trying to make it version 2.9.

Now, what the bleep is a stitched mesh?!

Stitched mesh is the new format for splines, actually it's a somewhat different and more complicated config file

An example of the changed bits below, read and weep!

Thats as bad as it gets for track with lod, terminator and initiator are now endcaps

For a simple spline this will do.

mesh-table
{
  default
  {
    mesh                                "default.im"
  }
  
  preview-mesh
  {
    mesh                                "default.im"
    auto-create                         1
  }
}

track
{
  mesh-length                           1.486
  adjust-cross-section-to-ground        0
  
  track-lod-tree
  {
    mesh                                "default"
  }
}

Try 2.8 with the invisible tag and see if that works? you can still upload at the moment, N3V seem to have forgotten about it's kill off date. there still 2.8 versions on todays downloads.
